Sorry, I know I'm being thick, but how can we sign someone else on loan, if we already have four loan signings? Have we cancelled a loan?

I’m confused by the loan situation also - however I think if there’s an obligation to buy in them it makes them slightly different - could be wrong on this though.
{Ed025's Note - its all gobbledygook to me as well Dan, god i really miss ED002 at times mate..

Mangala has returned to his club. That's all the input I have. It was explained a dozen times last summer by 02 to his frustration but we've all obviously forgotten the quirks. Probably time for a Google search it's a small upcoming thing in the interweb or something?

Mangala’s loan has been cancelled I think.

Obligations to buy do not count as loans.

I asked ed1 about this in another thread, Lindstrom overseas loan with option to buy, Alcaraz is a loan with an obligation to buy subject to conditions being met. As it’s an obligation to buy it’s not counted as a loan. Mangala may have returned which would free up a loan space as well.

Once he heals and if he gets back up to speed, I wonder if we may go back for him via loan or outright purchase?
If all goes well, it will be an amazing summer I hope.
