What is an emergency loan?

[arreff]

Can anyone please explain in simple language what constitutes an emergency loan? I notice that Birmingham having lent Stoke a defender, (Stephen Kelly) at the beginning of this month now have loaned Traore (also a defender) from Portsmouth yesterday. I was mistakenly under the impression that the use of the term emergency meant that due to injuries a team was unable to field a full team but obviously I am wrong. If it means, as it looks like meaning that anything goes could we select a few choice players that are finding it difficult to get into Premier teams at the moment and let Steve Coppell know as soon as possible?

[Hoop Blah]

It basically means anything under 3 months.

Pretty sure the 'emergency' bit is just there to get round FIFA or UEFA's transfer window rules.

[Wycombe Royal]

Emergency loan means nothing. They just use the word emergency as it keeps FIFA happy.

This should be, as an emergency, moved to General Football.

[cmonurz]

I thought Traore was on loan at Pompey from Arsenal?

You should, as an emergency, be banned.

A different Traore, this is the one with a ecl medal

My friend who is a Doncaster fan was telling me that Birmingham were trying to get one of their players on loan but basically try to sign him through the back door, brum were going to pay donny £1.5m fee for the loan and then pay a nominal fee at the end of the season to sign the player permanently. I dont like Birmingham.

The entire loan system is farcical if you ask me.

As a staunch closet Scouse fan, you should know that this is European Cup Winner Djimi Traore. He also generated one of my favourite football songs

"Now Djimi unlike Gerrard,
Who practiced in his backyard,
Learned his skills on the disco dancing floor,

When Frog Eyes Saw young Djimi.
Doing his disco shimmy
He signed him as a future red***** star!

Don't blame it on Biscan,
don't blame it on Hamann,
don't blame it on Finnan......Blame it on Traore.
He just can't, he just can't, he just can't control his feet"

[brendywendy]

i thought the question was clearly being asked in twerms of-hopw the emergency loan system relates to RFC, and if we could use it, and whether we need to

move it back to the team

and why do you listen to spacey anyway?
he doesnt listen to you, thats for sure

He is shockingly bad.

£60 billion to bankers who then take a billion of it to pay themselves. The 'emergency' was that without the bail-out they might not have got their bonuses.

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Some clubs abuse the loan system, Birmingaham are one of those.

The FA should limit the number of loan players a club can take on in a season to a maximum of 3 or 4.

By doing this clubs will then have to play their sqaud players and youth academy.

Sorry, but you've missed the point - these are not cup games.

quite simply:

a last minute night on the senior tizer is arranged for the day before pay day, EVERYONE is going. Arse, no dollar! Dave lends you a cheeky red one on the basis of "mate i'll have it back to you tomorrow after work, meet me in the dolphin".

dictionary definition of emergency loan.
