No - foreign loans are classified as permanent transfers under UEFA - so in effect we have "sub let" him
What ever happened to not loaning the Crown Jewels and then sub-loaning them on a 'pay as you play' basis with an option to buy, or re loan in the following window?
I think this is a good idea, gives the lad a chance to show what he can do in the English game as he isn't going to get a sniff here! If he does well we can take him back and give him a proper go, if not he can go back to Udinese.
Chatting to a Stevenage fan last night and by his accounts he had a fantastic game. Looked a class above any other player on the pitch.
Substituted after 13 mins after Stevenage GK was sent off. Hardly tearing up trees, I think it's fair to say.
Played 4, at least one of those (his debut) was a sub appearance, hasn't scored. No idea what his performances have been like.
