Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I have a question for either the Ed's or Members.
By My reckoning We currently have a Senior Squad (aged 21 or over) of 25 players (the max allowance under current Premier League Regs) . With this in Mind if We were to bring in a player (loan or buy), in order to register them We would have to move somebody on or they would need to be under the age of 21 after 1st Jan this year. Is this correct or are My observations off?
I ask because I see and hear lots of commentators, pundits and fans talking like why haven't We signed a few players like it's a straight forward thing to do without any context to the situation.
Also is it possible to unregister a player who You plan to keep hold of moving forward, for example an injured player who is likely going to be out beyond the seasons end to make space for a short term loan?
I hope this makes some semblance of sense and Thanks in advance for any replies.
KTBFFH!
{Ed001's Note - well you would have to leave someone out of the squad, which is difficult and can lead to issues with the PFA. It is not an ideal situation to be in and can cause a lot of disruption to have a player around who cannot play for the team due to registration issues.}

Thank You for the swift reply Ed001.
This is what I assumed when I looked at the Squad. It's not an easy situation to resolve without actually moving players on which is easier than said than done, even more so in Jan.
Thanks again Ed, appreciated.
KTBFFH!
