And how do you suggest we bypass the FIFA rules on max clubs played for in one season?Presumably he'll be available to play for us for 3x games in January where the squad is comically stretched, and could then be loaned out at the end of the window is we manage to secure a better option.
Play him as a ringer?And how do you suggest we bypass the FIFA rules on max clubs played for in one season?
I agree we have talented players like Sarmiento and Ayari. Sent out on loan to toughen them up and appreciate how good it is to be part of the Brighton squad. Regardless of playingNo March for the rest of the season, Adingra & Mitoma both out injured and looked tired prior to injuries. Having one more option is a sensible idea
think he started his career as a wingerHe's played on the wing many many times. I don't know if he's played in central midfield more, but I don't think it makes sense to say he's not a winger with the amount of times he's played there.
Yes, the club are well within their rights to insist he stays with us, so as not to fall foul of the 3 club rule, as we are presumably paying him lots. And doubtless it would help in the next 6 weeks or so until we are at full strength again -we hope! But after that, we might have a rather resentful young man on our hands, who might regard long-term bench warming, if it came to that, as a retrograde step, when he could be regularly playing week in-week out.I agree we have talented players like Sarmiento and Ayari.

Agreed. Although, I would hope he was OK with coming back, too. Has he made a huge impact at West Brom?No March for the rest of the season, Adingra & Mitoma both out injured and looked tired prior to injuries. Having one more option is a sensible idea

Their fans really seem to like him, but he rarely starts. He's had a couple of injuries I think and has been used almost exclusively from the bench when fit. He'd have had as much game time if he'd stayed here I reckon.Agreed. Although, I would hope he was OK with coming back, too. Has he made a huge impact at West Brom?
No. But Caicedo didn't on his loan spell.Agreed. Although, I would hope he was OK with coming back, too. Has he made a huge impact at West Brom?

Left or right?Play him as a ringer?
And how do you suggest we bypass the FIFA rules on max clubs played for in one season?
Yes, but somehow I don’t think the poster who suggested we loan him to another club even gave the FIFA rules a thoughtThere is a way around the max club rules. A player can join a club in a league where they have an overlapping season. For example,he could play for us until Mitoma and Adingra are fit and then we could loan him to a club in the MLS. Their next season starts in Feb and is not considered to be the same season as our current 23-24 season. The same applies to places like Sweden and Norway when their seasons start in April.
We did the MLS thing with Jurgen Locadia in the 19-20 season. He played two games for us in August, went to TSG Hoffenheim on loan until January, then returned to us and joined FC Cincinnati in Feb 2020 for the start of their season in March.
Not that I think any of those leagues would be of a suitable level for Sarmiento but there are options out there.
I can't help but think it would be easier to glue a moustache to his face and register him as a new player called Mr J Smith.There is a way around the max club rules.

In a word, no.Agreed. Although, I would hope he was OK with coming back, too. Has he made a huge impact at West Brom?
Can’t happen.Keep him about for the FA Cup game and then out on loan.
