Absolutely Superb Move!

Engine Room --- "Captain, Captain! We've repaired the hole and stopped water coming in -- we won't sink!"

Captain "Damn good move..... hang on, hole? What hole?!"

Engine Room --- "Oh, ummm, we had a little accident sir, but we've fixed it now"





Shucks........

Smith all to be confirmed 100% done today though wasn't it according to some?

Either way - we got ourselves a fine player here.

From the FL Regulations:

51.1.1 Subject to the proviso that the duration of a Standard Loan must be the time between two Transfer Windows, Standard Loans can be for half a Season or a full Season.

51.1.3 A Club can have a maximum of 4 Players under 23 and a further 4 Players over 23 on a Standard Loan during any Season.


51.1.5 Standard Loans which subsequently become permanent transfers shall not count against a Club's quota of such Standard Loans for that Season.


So why are we bothering with multiple emergency loans again...?

Keep up Rsonist. read the thread and it should become clear!!!!!!!

Loan him today for 1 month - Oct 9th expires. Oct 9th is International break so no need to re-loan until the 15th thus gaining an additional week and able to play extra game. Where theres a will theres a way eh !!!

hmmmm........ about the thread title. As someone who is employed to work on interesting ways to maximise a given situation within the rules and by the rules, I just really enjoyed the "thinking out of the box" of someone at the club who worked out that using 3 loans of various duration the club could maximise the number of games (looks like all) Smith could play.

Sorry if this seems sad but nobody else here seemed to come up with this ploy and various people were moaning Smith missing up to 6 games over the December period. Seems to me he misses none. It is all down to some deep and serious consideration. I say applaud the club for their positive and constructive thinking around the rules.

So I say an "absolutely superb" move by the club as no-one else on here or anywhere else worked this one through and came up with the answer, which is Mr T Smith 100% attendance for the club through to permanent signing. By the way I was the guy who wrote on the messageboard that Smith's agent, Warnock and a close Portsmouth associate of mine was talking at Heathrow day before deadline day (and I was on the phone and NW could be heard in the background).

LOL Come on u rsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Show us an example of how Smith will be able to play in all the games up until Jan.1st, without missing any along the way.
