Petriix 3,219 Posted September 14, 2008 Norwich: Marshall, Kennedy, Stefanovic, Sibierski,Hoolahan (Grounds 79), Fotheringham (C), Lupoli (Cureton 53), Russell(Croft 89), Bertrand, Omosuzi, Pattison. Subs not used: Koroma, Nelson.Plymouth: Stack, Duguid (C), Walton (Mpenza 70),Timar, Clark, Puncheon (Kouo-Doumbe 34) , Folly, Easter (Fallon 65),Gallagher, Barker, Seip. Subs not used: Paterson, Marin.Forgive me for appearing stupid but I make that 7 loanees named in the 16 with 6 actually playing a part. I thought I''d better check the regulations in case there was some distinction between season-long and emergency loans but it seems pretty clear..."47.3 There shall be two categories of temporary loan transfers allowed - Short Term Loans andLong Term Loans. The following restrictions shall apply to both types of loan:47.3.1 A maximum of 5 loan Players (either Short Term or Long Term) can be named in thesixteen Players listed on a team sheet for any individual Match. This figure shallinclude any additional loan of a goalkeeper approved by the Executive under theprovisions of Regulation 49." - taken from http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/78/3/0,,10794~888,00.pdfI am not sure how up-to-date these rules are or if they have been changed but it seems a bit worrying doesn''t it?

Jim Smith 2,610 Posted September 14, 2008 Lupoli and Kennedy do not count as loans. As stated in the post above they are from foreign clubs and the league does not recognise loans from foreign clubs. As I understand it they are signed on short term contracts from their clubs and registered as our player for the duration of those contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrimmage 0 Posted September 14, 2008 yep, overseas loans count as perms, so we can use lupoli and kennedy whenever we want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Grey 0 Posted September 14, 2008 To be even more clear, the Kennedy and Lupoli deals are NOT recognised as either short or long term loans by the FA :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect they would move to stop it but at the moment it does seem to be something of a loophole! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
