    Really, suz? We were just speculating and trying to remember the rules, hoping by the time we came on the forum someone would have looked it up :biggrin:

    We concluded that he's not cup tied, and that the loan rules prohibit playing against parent club in the league...

    otherwise, I got nothing.

    I mean we could just recall him, then that sorts it :ok:
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I’ll go an look it up.




    I must try to remember not to post what I think, without checking first.
  • stevesteve
    then lets recall him :thumbsup:
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So we get him back off loan, play him against Albion then let him resume his loan with them. :biggrin:

    According to Goal.com

    On-loan players are forbidden to play against their parent club in the Premier League. They are, however allowed to play against their parent club in domestic cup competitions, unless they have already featured in the competition for their former side. This rule is called being cup-tied.


    I did not however check out Goal.com’s credentials.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Oi! the recall thing was my idea.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But I said send him back.... :lol:

    :thumbsup:

    That was how I remembered it, but I also think there can be additional 'cup clauses' added in to the loan deal.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Of course, he's injured, so it's moot. :lol:
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Hamstring apparently.


    Really pleased I mentioned him now.

    I would hope West Brom will be still fighting for automatic promotion and if so likely to not risk key players for that, hopefully we will put a few results together to ease relegation fears and be able to put out a full strength squad. Its at home and that's the main thing with ant cup tie.
  • stevesteve
    Have you seen our home record ;)
  • HamstewHamstew
    Apparently they rested lots of players against Charlton.
