It would be nice if the star said what the rule actually is. It seems to say there is an obscure PL rule preventing teams from leaving out players so they can get others in. I've never heard of this one. Has anyone told Forest?Apparently, you can’t leave players out of the 25 man squad even if they are injured…not sure I understand why or how that works. But it effectively means that you can’t deliberately leave players out of the squad to pick up out of contract players.
So, to answer my own question, No our long term injured aren’t necessarily going to make a comeback before Xmas, but we have to include them in the squad.
Bizzare
The obscure Premier League rule that prevented Sheffield United signing free agents
Sheffield United were prevented from adding free agents to their squad by an obscure Premier League rule surrounding their 25-man squad for the first half of their season.www.thestar.co.uk

To be honest, it's not really clear to anybody.What is the precise difference between our named 25 man squad and Luton's named 25 man squad that allows them to add to theirs (26 players now?) but we can't add to ours?
It's probably obvious but I'm a bit daft.
Could the reason be that Luton didn’t register 25 man squad by the deadline as they have under 21 players to supplement their squad and we have 25 players registered with the club who are over 21 .. only excuse I can think of .To be honest, it's not really clear to anybody.
I always thought you had to register a squad on a certain date (25 players or less) and that's your lot till Janaury.
Therefore we included injured players as we couldn't sign anyone now and the spaces needed filling.
what do I know?
Did anyone find out what the "obscure PL ruling" was?! Gave The Stir a click and am none the wiser.
Nah, I think it's just Danny Hall farming clicks - Luton have 24 registered players according this PL page:I think the rule is called "Sheffield United fucked up."

But still, it doesn't explain why Luton can add Townsend to their squad now.I was just going to put that - smart planning or luck from Luton?!
Us having a 25 man squad with around 11 semi-permanently injured senior/contracted players on long term injuries is really not helping matters.
It's been like this for 2 years.
We need a new start with a fresh healthier squad.
I think the website is confusing...it says "25 squad players" for all clubs, even though several only have around 20, e.g. Brighton:Luton's own site 14th Sep literally says we have submitted our 25 man squad list to the Premier League and the Premier League site also shows Luton Town, 25 players ,but the lists only contain 24 players. That explains it. It's age related. Over 21's only in the 25 (24) man squad.
When I tried to count up I got to
25 players but I must admit I counted one player as two players initially as he has seven names and it went over two lines on the list.
Wonder if CW will be bombing some of these out? Well he'll need too for new signings. Also Basham I can't see being named.Wes/Davies/Amissah
Baldock/Bogle
Anel/Basham
Egan
Robinson/Trusty
Thomas/Lowe/Larouci/RND
Norwood/Davies
Souza/Slimane
Hamer/Osborn
McAtee/Fleck
Archer/Brewster
McBurnie/Traore
Osula/Jebbison
This is how I see our squad looking for the next four months in each position. (First names been picked so far) Be interesting to see who's not included, 27 players there but some will be u21s anyway.
Anyone know when this is confirmed?
Definitely need to let a few go. The following players didn't make the squad (20) Tuesday and have been fit.
Amissah
Thomas
Larouci
Coulibaly
Fleck
Traore
Jebbison?
That depends on who goes and who comes in this month.15 out of contract
3 loans
Archer
So potentially losing 19 players this summer.
(As it stands)
You forgot Fleck and CoulibalyPresumably we've submitted a revised 25 man squad. Thomas going back freed up a space but Traoré was classed as an U21 so didn't take up a space; we've made three senior signings who all need to be registered.
In: Ivo Grbic, Mason Holgate, Ben Brereton Diaz
Out: Luke Thomas, Chris Basham?, Adam Davies?
Making an assumption on Davies as Amissah was named as the sub keeper on Saturday; Basham is the obvious one as he's not going to be playing any time soon.
Need another 2 keepersSo as it stands we have contracted for next season? (Not involving all the u21s who've not played in the first team) 14.
Grbic
Curtis
Anel
Trusty
Robinson
Slimane
Souza
Hamer
Davies
Brooks
Arblaster
Brewster
Osula
Traore
