Loan Player Rules

With some of our fans in meltdown as we have 4 injuries, can someone remind us of what the loan player limits are:

1) How many players can a club bring in on loan at any one point in time?
2) How many loan players can be in the 18 man match day squad?
3) How many loan players can be on the pitch at the same time during a match?

I believe there are limits for each of the above scenarios but I could be mistaken.

Thanks in advance for all responses and for the inevitable rating.

I believe we have the following guys on loan, Blackman (unlikely to start), Baker (possible), Harrison (possible), Brown (unlikely to start). Given the above I cannot think of any scenario where we will exceed FL rules, questions are a little irrelevant as it stands.
Might need to revisit in January.
I wonder whether you mean loans or out of contract players JLA. Not sure there are any rules regarding filling the team with out of contract players.

Ah, I see why this may have caused confusion - the loan window is also closed now. on my part.

I did mean loans. Of course, a club can sign as many out of contract players as they want, subject to FFP rules, ALWAYS!

I ask the question because although the loan window is closed now, it may be an option during the next window, but these rules need to be considered.

5 loans in the matchday squad is the max. 8 at the club.

loan window is shut

4 loans from one club is the maximum

of those 4 only 2 allowed to be over 23.

It’s free agent time.
Bielsa already stated we have solutions within our squad. I’d be very surprised if we signed anyone as
1) they would need time to learn the Bielsa way
2) they wouldn’t be deemed fit enough

I liked Robbie Keane, didn't score a lot for us but better than some of the dross we've had, would fancy him to score more than Ekuban even now.
For some reason I can picture him doing a mean impression of Fergal Sharkey at the Karaoke.

Robbie Keane missed more one on ones for us than all our other strikers in history put together

I watched him play at LA Galaxy quite a bit.

The last season and a half he lost his sharpness and pace.

I think he would be found out big time in the Championship, might do ok in the third division.

I was gutted when he left us to go to Coventry(?).

He left us to go to Tottenham. He did play for Coventry in his early days for a while.
