From the moment we saw the communication via Sean Whetstone this morning, from our highly ranked insider at London Stadium detailing the possible outcomes today of ‘could be zero, could be three out, two in‘ we’ve been searching to discover the identity of the players likely to come in.
One was fairly straightforward – and a very welcome addition – Carlos Soler had been the worst kept secret of the window and a player we have been seemingly trying to sign all summer. Hopefully he’ll pass his medical and join before 11 tonight.
The identity of the second target for deadline day appears to have been revealed: It is Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka.
The attacking midfielder had apparently been a high priority target for West Ham but ‘various sources’ who knew had agreed to keep the player’s identity secret so as not to alert other clubs to West Ham United’s interest.
Whether the release of his Identity means we’ve settled for Soler, and Chukwuemeka was the back-up plan, or whether we are still pursuing – time will tell but who can say for sure this window. 20 Years old central midfielder, Tim Steidten is a huge fan, apparently, so he would have ticked a lot of boxes.
Premier League rules mean only two active loan players can be registered at the same club at the same time – although four could be on the books if not all in the squad.
So much, for not going for tammy Abraham as a striker to help along side fullkrüg but still having enough midfielders etc etc etc
We need a loan striker
Is he a good player, then? And do we need another midfielder?
I stand corrected.
Players aged 21 and younger can be loaned outside of the limit.
Happy Days.

It’s a max of 2 loans in a squad. Max 4 loans in a season. No other allowances so this one is a non starter
Yes I think it’s only 2 from inside England and a few from outside is allowed. Im thinking we can only loan out 5 players for memory
BuIt we already have Todibo on loan
The irony of a grammar error in my post above 🤦♂️
Don’t worry – even I do it😊
Doesn’t the ‘two loan rule’ just apply to loands from Premier league or domestic clubs?
