I know it closes today but can we take players on loan in the period until it opens again in January ?</p> If we can then I can't see why people get giddy. We were probably going to have to rely on loan signings anyway so does nothing change ?</p> I'm not suggesting we don't need players because we do (centre half at least IMO)</p> The signings I'd like to see are Ritchie and Holden min 2 years extension as they will begin to attract attention from other clubs.</p>
According to Radio Sheffield An emphatic YES! Loans are still possible. I was also wondering about signing players who are currently unemployed. Plenty of those knocking around also. After all, it is a TRANSFER deadline - so I wouldn't think that is affected either. HTH, Stephen
From the BBC Premiership and SPL clubs have until midnight on Thursday 31 August to sign players. English Football League clubs have the same deadline for full transfers, but not for loans. English Conference clubs are not bound by the transfer window system. After midnight on 31 August, Premiership and SPL clubs cannot sign any players, on loan or full transfers, until one minute past midnight on 1 January. This window will stay open until midnight on 31 January. Clubs in the Football League can sign players on loan outside of the transfer windows. Outside of the transfer windows, any club may still sign players on an emergency basis with the permission of their competition's governing body, ie the Premier League. Players who are out of contract and do not have a club, can be signed at any time
