Crocked keeper and emergency loans

[Lord Didsbury]

I think that the rules are that you can no longer make emergency loans apart from one exception: if you can't field a keeper that's played for 5 first team games you can sign another for a 7 day period.

Is that correct?

If so it means Chappers will be in the nets for sure. Only If he gets injured then will we get someone else for a week.

Coley, when being interviewed said something about sorting out the goalkeeping situation. What are his options? Can he get say, a retired keeper?

[Lemur]

there will be some goalkeepers out there who are not connected to any football club.

[Lord Didsbury]

Bruce Grobbelaar always seemed to be game for a laugh. Worth a punt ?

The big Dane might come back.

Everybodies "sort of right"

No emergency loan unless all professional keepers are injured, suspended or on international duty. A professional keeper is classed as having started 5 pro games including loan spells elsewhere.

Yes we could sign an player on a short term deal; providing he is "unemployed" (signed ANYWHERE) when the window is open. "signed" includes non league and pub teams!!

Sort of narrows done the possibilities.

As i understand it the line is drawn at the point where a player has a contract that pays him wages. Hence players wanting to protect their non contracted status play for expenses not wages enabling them to sign a contract if they are offered one so i dont think my Sunday morning appearances for the Dog and Duck would rule me out of the running should Coley come calling.

[Mr T]

Northern Soul; until Feb last year I had the same thoughts as you; BUT following the Erico saga who was signed non-contact and without International Clearance at Tadcaster I was proven wrong under the new way of defining "unemployed".

So sadly you being signed for the Dog and Duck means you can't sign for any PL or EFL team!!

[Chimer]

Unless the Dog and Duck forgot to lodge the paperwork with the FA .......

[Mr T]

That's what happened (sort of) with Erico at Tadcaster; but the EFL still ruled he wasn't "unemployed" when the "window was open"!!

Max is likely to be out for six to eight weeks according to Coley in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle:

Plymouth have just signed an out of work goalkeeper

[DAV007]

I'm sure Ian Dunbsvin would be willing to return on a short term deal, a decent keeper at league 2 level
