Hi eds is it right that free agents are not bound by the transfer window.
Also do you think it's possible that efc will look in that direction for recruits?
{Ed002's Note - They are not constrained if they were free agents during the transfer window. If they are released today then thay cannot join another club until January. I would not expect Everton to be looking at any Free Agents.}

Have you seen some of the free agents on the sky app would imagine a deal till the end of the season on some of them could help us maybe.

Are you hoping we bring Big Vic back for a season Alyn?

Ed002: it is very unlikely, but if a club needed a goalkeeper on an emergency loan, then being given permission to take one released after the transfer window (rather than one released beforehand) surely could be possible - even though, as I say, it's a very unlikely scenario?
{Ed002's Note - No of course it can't happen. Who would be the loan from?}

Ed002: of course it wouldn't be a loan, but how would taking a released goalkeeper (albeit released after the transfer window) be different rto taking a still contracted goalkeeper on loan from amother club? It's academic, but it'd be interesting to see how the Premier League would react to such an emergency goalkeeper request.

{Ed002's Note - The released player would need to sign a contract until the following June 30 as a minimum so it is not a loan.}

Ed002: now I get it - the club would only want a short-term deal until their regular goalkeepers are available again, not one until 30th June. Thanks for clarifying that.
{Ed002's Note - Right.}
