Chief said:"Under an embargo, clubs are allowed to sign players on loan or free agent deals if they have less than 23 players of professional standing in their squad"
Is what I've just read. Not sure what 'professional standing' means - over 18yrs old? Over 21?
Think they have 20 over 21 years old players currently.
Edit: from the EFL webpage: "Professional Standing = is any Player who has made one first team appearance (including as a sub) for any Club in any first team competition (EFL Trophy appearances do not count)."
So with King, Davies, Colwill, Bagan, Etete who've all definitely played professional games, they are over-staffed and shouldn't be allowed to sign anyone else.
But they already have. Ridiculous.
