Did we not buy out Sandaza's contract so we could effectively sign him on a 'free'...or am I misremembering again ?

Different time deadlines. For a permanent signing to play they have to be registered by 6pm the day before a game (I believe - it's certainly before midnight the day before a game). For loan signings you can be registered up to 3 hours before kick off.

What a weird signing!

We did the same with Holroyd, didn't we? Signed him on loan so he could play and then signed him permanently on the following Monday.
I don't think there will be an issue with terms Sheebo.

I aacept that but how can we register him on 1st Jan if the office is closed for Bank Holiday as I dont see that we can register him before the deal is signed and that cant be signed until 1st Jan when the transfer and loan windows open again.
Unless the FA are open on Saturday 1st or post dated papers are lodged early and ratified by the FA but not valid until the 1st?

What would be the point of opening the transfer window on 1st if the clubs/FA were not able to do any business?

I guess, given the timing of all this, he'll be unveiled as a Brighton player on Saturday, registered as a loan player in the morning, with the permanent side of things concluded over the weekend.
A very exciting signing it seems.

Exactly. Reading the link made by the original poster suggests Norwich are looking to loan a player in for Saturday so that he is available for their game and then sign him permanently after. So this may be a possibility for us to get Noone in and available.

Indeed. Not sure why it's assumed they are shut. The 1st isn't a bank holiday.

The deal can be agreed between two clubs and the player can agree to the move at anytime it just won't come into effect until the transfer window opens.
Therefore when the window opens the paperwork is lodged with the fa and the player completes the move immediately.

I'd have thought that the FA are more than likely to be open every Saturday, considering it is the busiest day for their partners/clients.
Two clubs have a problem with a referee being stuck in traffic or unable to make the match "Hello. This is the FA Headquarters. I am sorry but there is no one to take your call. Please leave a message and we'll endeavour to get back to you on Monday morning".

Should be right - but somehowI woldn't be surprised if they were shut weekends, the seem to do most things wrong!
