I can assure you it's not a fact.
He's played for Derby and Fulham this season, he cannot play for another club this season.
B*llshit.
He was loaned to Fulham on 31st August 2016. Does anyone know if he actually played for Derby in the few weeks prior to that?
If not, I think he is ok as Article 5, Paragraph 3 of FIFA's transfer regulations state: "Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in official matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. Equally, the provisions relating to the registration periods (article 6) as well as to the minimum length of a contract (article 18 paragraph 2) must be respected."
I am not commenting on the likelihood or desirability of this thread, only its legality!
