Massively. Where our goals are gunna come from I don't know. Can't help but feel for DJ tbf - the lad supports us and has never been given a chance.

Well he has a chance now...seems to me the club are doing him a favour right now if we are allowing him to go because he is unhappy. If we are just letting him go because we don't rate him that is madness and he should be given a chance

You can, but we dont have a space because DJ was named in the 25, hence it makes no sense loaning him out. If that was the plan all along, why the F£$k name him in the 25 to effectively close the door on the free agent option in case of an emergency.... makes no sense.

Yeah totally agree Del, there's more to this than we know

The two rules that are relevant to DJ's situation....

"8) Players from the 25-man squad cannot be replaced if they are loaned to Football League clubs, but can regain their spot in the group if they return to the parent club.

9) Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this case they can add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named."

Ok, well that last point may explain why they had to name a 25th player, but how on earth Did Everton not have to in the summer. AS mentioned earlier they signed Hitszlsperger late October and he went into their squad, so they must have had a slot left spare. They must have plenty of contracted players not in their 25, like any club, so how were they allowed to do this....?
