Danny Drinkwater, Tom Heaton

I'm confused on this matter.

A few weeks back, the official site said we had signed both of these players (Drinkwater on loan, Heaten permanent).

Were we under a transfer embargo at either of these times? I thought we were for at least Drinkwater.

So, have we DEFINATLY 100% signed both of these players?

Heaton was Signed Before The Embargo was put in place, Drinkwater has Signed but cant be Registered with the Foootball League until The Embargo is Lifted.

Drinkwater has signed, a deal has been agreed but he is unable to play in league games at the moment due to us being under the embargo and due to this he is unable to be registered as a cardiff player.

So to play Drinkwater, we'll need the embargo to be lifted.

That can be a bit of a bummer. If it ISN'T lifted by the first league game, it'll take him longer to mould into his position.

If the embargo is not lifted by the start of the season i can see fergie insisting that he goes back to man u and then they will loan him out to some other team, after all fergie wants him playing week in week out, what good is he to anyone watching games from the stands???

I thought that by selling Kennedy then that meant CCFC only had a 1st team squad of 19 players and that 20 MUST be filled for the League rules , so doesnt that allow Drinkwater to be registered now ?

If we can get "The Wells Fargo" lifted. There will be some decent players available from the premier league on loan owing to the 25-player squad rule.
Can DJ suss them out that's the question?
We don't want another Eddie Or Kelvin.
