Solomon. That allows for a RW and LB i believe. Then i'd agree any activity on top of that, keeper for example then it needs to be Forster out or not registered for Europe.
I guess the one’s that play football management games where real-life squad management isn’t part of the game don’t really care. They are probably happy at cutting players in January because you’ve fucked up your loan count. After all, it’s just pressing a button.
Everybody else probably has an awareness that signing players that you can’t register is considered a bit of a waste of time.
By registering less than your full allowance, you’re also limiting your ability to rotate senior players but that’s okay. It’s not like the Europa League adds any burden in terms of player fitness.
Going to add that there’s a full on Reddit topic on the Chavs and how they’re trying (not) to manage their squad given the cap on international loans. Seems as if they actually have a few fans who aren’t totally brain dead too.

The only positive from selling Skipp is whether Ange decides to include Devine and Donley in his squad (both would qualify as List B players so in addition to the rest of the squad) on the basis that he can split the minutes Skipp would have played between them in europe.
IMO both have played well in pre-season and in terms of playing quality done as well (or even better) as most of our midfield options - Devine can play as a DLP ala Carrick as well as an AM, whilst Donley could understudy Maddison as well as being LB in easier EL games - which could usefully strengthen and add depth to the squad.
But they'd need to play say 1,000+ minutes each as otherwise both likely to get more out of loans : Ange could keep them and try playing them until Christmas when we have easier EL games and maybe League cup, before deciding on his playing requirements in 2nd half of the season.
Long term the aim should be to include them as Club trained players to increase the size of the squad in future seasons
Whether you can register a player these days is as much of the game as offside.
And we know how few fans understand the offside rule
Great post.
Couldn’t agree more.
I do expect a loan for at least one of them if not both.
You're a sneaky one aren't ya! My posts aren't pro ENIC as much as you want them to be.
Firstly there have been plenty of posts complaining that we wouldn't spend the money we needed to to bring in the players we needed.
Secondly there were pages and pages of people talking about how we need to be buying players of quality to compete for starting places.
We did and this signing should be judged against what people wanted.
Pleased you've finally found the reply button to my posts after ignoring me for 2 weeks when I was asking you about actual football related stuff in a transfer thread predominantly about footballers.
Of course, you're more of an expert on chairmen so I'm not surprised this is the one you choose to respond to.
Nice to see all that dross being moved on. Does feel like we are targeting a higher level of technical quality.
Hopefully the likes of Werner/Johnson are outliers and we continue adding ballers in the Bergvall mould to the squad. Can never have enough technical players.
This is why it's been a good transfer window. We've always struggled to move the deadwood on but this window we've done well for once.
Right...we've really strengthened the team.....!!!
Spot on. Irrespective of whatever style you want to play, if you're aiming to compete for trophies then you need as many as you can get as they are the players that can take, keep and play the ball no matter the system or the pressure you're under. Obviously difficult to fill out the entire squad with them like City but at the very least the starting eleven needs to be technically competent as a minimum.
AhemIf he goes there? Reguillon will have RM Man U and Barca on his CV
And Spurs
We have. One more top signing and il go as far as to say its been a very good transfer window. And I'm someone who thinks Levy is a bald stingy git
Tell me this 10 games into next season...
Stats last season for defensive actions had Richarlison at 11
and Solanke at 98
He literally said the opposite of what Ange wants to hear.
