I hope we sell this month. He has 18 months on his deal and from our perspective his stock wont be as high as it is right now. He might have a brilliant 2nd half of season too but come summer he will have 12 months left so our hand will be weaker. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
ScarBoro 836 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) EFL Rules - Clause 54 54.1.1 any Player registered on a Standard Loan, International Loan, an Emergency Goalkeeper Loan; or 54.1.2 any player registered on any other form of loan at a club, may not sign for any other Club (or club) during the period of the respective loan. That seems to mean we cant sell him during the loan to Forest. (His loan is a Standard Loan) Clause 55 55.1.3 any other early termination of a Standard Loan must be by way of a mutual agreement in writing (including by way of a recall clause within the Standard Loan Agreement) between the Transferor Club, the Transferee Club and the Player but can only be completed: (a) after the expiry of 28 days; and (b) only during a Transfer Window (but subject to Regulation 55.1.4 below) unless otherwise agreed by the League in its absolute discretion (subject to such conditions as the League deems appropriate). Unless the revised loan to Forest was before 4th January, the above suggests we cant recall him - even with Forest's approval (and why would they agree, unless we paid them an almighty portion of the transfer fee as an incentive?) I cant see from above how he can go during this transfer window, unless i am missing something. (unless we got his new loan through before 4th January?) Link to post Share on other sites

He can go if the buying team waits to take him on until the summer and let him stay at forest until then. If a team reckons they need to act now to steal a March on potential other suitors that might be exactly what they’ll do. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm glad the transfer window ends when we play Manchester United as all this talk about Spence wait until they see Jones. He is littery in team of the week every week is December's player of the month and is running down the wing leading us to the Premier league!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively a bidding war is almost certainly in our best interests and that might be more likely in the summer window. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I do think Warnock is right about Spence he'll either end up in the Premier League or non-league, he looks good at Forest with Johnson in front of him but not many teams play with a winger in front of a wingback and Spence lacks the technique to be a winger we saw how that experiment went under Woodgate and Warnock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm already worried about the summer if we don't manage to get up this year. Right now I just can't see a scenario where a Prem team doesn't snap him up in the summer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 As much as I like Spence and wish he could be part of what we're doing here, I think we should cash in asap because he clearly doesn't want to be here. Rest of January should be about getting the best deal we can possibly get. It's just sad to me, I think we've missed out on a player who could have gone on to be a Boro legend had the manager and fans treated him a little better. Hes obviously not free of guilt but who would want to put in a load of effort for a manager who doesn't want him and a fan base who threw a 19 year old under the bus week after week? I for one will wish him well wherever he goes and hope he fulfils his potential. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

It specifically says a player can’t sign for anyone else whilst on loan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Arguably the best wing back in the Championship right now. If Spence had stayed, eitherJones growth would have been stunted, Spence would be on the bench and/or we'd still be playing Warnock style football. Link to post Share on other sites
