It was brought in after the embarrassment of Aubameyang not being allowed to play in the Europa for Arsenal having played in CL with Dortmund.

Too little too late.

Was a stupid rule anyway.

Probably make the January window more interesting for bigger clubs.

Yeah that rule was stupid.

good rule imo, players shouldn't be allowed to be bought in january anyway

So a player can now be a winner AND a runner-up in the same season?

Indeed. Let's take Philippe Coutinho as our example. He could have moved from Liverpool to Barcelona in January, with the two clubs then facing each other in the final. This means Coutinho would pick up both a winner's and a runner-up's medal. It may well happen.

Man U broke that rule in 1958 (FA backed down) with a bloke called Stan Crowther if memory serves. Utd said they didn't have any players or some such pi$$poor excuse (much like Jose today).

They need to remove the sane league teams cannot be drawn together-that’s utter shiiit
