Watters to Barnsley

Re: Watters to Barnsley

In the Hudson press conference today he was asked (again) by WOL Glen Williams about what is possible under the transfer embargo if it stays in place. As I understood it they both agreed that no loans or frees are possible under a FIFA embargo and all the talk of bringing in players to fill a senior squad of 23 is from the EFL embargo rules. That completely contradicts what WOL has been saying in numerous articles since the embargo was confirmed.

Williams appeared to have just found out about the difference between FIFA and EFL rules. Hudson agreed - but he has never appeared to be on top of the details of the embargo when questioned before, so not sure he is an expert. If that is right the club have no wriggle room. Loans can come back (like McGuinness) but that is it.

Of course that may all be wrong - the sources don't inspire confidence.

Wouldn't be surprised if neither the club or WOL know what the rules are.

I've just looked at the EFL rules again (if those apply), and loaning players out doesn't free up a space in your 23 anyway, only selling/releasing them.

If Denham and Bagan can't get in the side at present, they aren't very good. By the end, Nkounkou was putting us 1-0 down every week and he still started over Bagan.

He was putting us one nil down, but now we've lost O'Dowda further forward we can't score it's a nightmare down our left. losing Collins was a disaster.

We couldn't score with O'Dowda there either, to be fair...
