I almost love the club teasing us 😬

I love the fact that Fulham are the first promoted club to pay over 100 million in transfers. Widely mentioned across everywhere. Except they are not. Not unless we actually have out big sining who is lost in the wind confirmed

That is across the whole window isn't it? So Mitro, Seri, Fabri etc are to be included.

Yes but that is still short of 100 million quid. Less than 80 million.

Can someone please explain to me how we can sign all these players on loan when the rules in the PL handbook says:

"not more than two Temporary Transfers shall be registered by a Club at the same time"

and also:

"the maximum number of Temporary Transfers to any one Club registrable in the same Season shall be four"

Someone said that this only applies for loans from other PL clubs but I can't find anything about that in the rules.

https://www.premierleague.com/news/464747

This is where everyone got the two loans from. It specifically mentions "Find out how Premier League clubs are limited in the number of players they can bring in on loan from English clubs"

Nowhere does it mention overseas clubs.

But I'm talking about the actual rules in the PL handbook. As far as I can tell the rules specify maximum 2 loans at a time and maximum 4 per season without mentioning English clubs specifically. Which would suggest to me that it applies to loans from ALL clubs. I haven't read all 616 pages though...

Is there really NO limit to the number of overseas loans???

Think so, Watford a few years ago in the PL had a huge amount of loans, mostly Italian I believe

Watching a YouTube video of Anguissa's every touch against Bordeaux.  He's like a Dickson Etuhu who can play a snappy pass.  He'll enjoy the physicality of the Prem, that's for sure.  Really hope this one gets announced and the reason for the delay is that the only pun the comms team could devise is:

"'Ang about, we've signed another one."

Dino Fazlic?

[fulhamben]

mensah confirmed. one year loan

[Jamie88]

Fosu is confirmed

[AllyWhite]

SHOWTIME instead of IMMENSAH.

[Lighthouse]

Mensah on loan now confirmed. So that's it unless our paperwork has gone through for the 30 million midfielder. We can all go home.

Would make sense to save that reveal for last I think. Been several reports that the paperwork has been done for ages, just not announced yet.

Am hearing that Fonsu Mensa loan signing will be confirmed shortly.

I am expecting some really 'clever' announcement on the website for him!! 😋😋👍⚽  Smart move?

Mensa - very intelligent signing.

ImMENSe?

Loans – These are officially called temporary transfers. Under Premier League rules, there are restrictions on how many players Premier League clubs can loan from other Premier League/English clubs. They are:
- Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club

With the exception of Welsh clubs competing in the competitions listed under Rule V.6.2, loans from a club in membership of another National Association do not count towards the above quotas.

Tonnes of French people begging the Anguissa deal to go through. I'm confused, do they not rating him or something?

[Lighthouse]

I'm pleased to announce that @FulhamFC has signed Timothy Fosu-Mensah on loan from @ManUtd. @tfosumensah is a gifted young defender who excels at multiple positions. He will further reinforce this strong squad that we've assembled to compete in the Premier League. Come on Fulham! 

This tweet sounds as if that is it. Or am I reading too much into it.
