Cardiff have signed Kenneth Zohore from Odense. In order to do this, he was signed by Belgian club KV Kortrijk and immediately loaned to Cardiff.
I am surprised Roly hasn't done more of the this.
He doesn't need to though. None of his clubs are under a transfer embargo
They're not no, but if he had a different outlook on FFP, he could quite easily get around it with the way Cardiff have proved, therefore signing a player that doesn't go down negatively on the budget and still able to compete like everyone else.

And people would moan about 1) Loanees and 2) Network Players
"Leicester defender Richie de Laet is joining Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season. On his way to Teesside to sort through the particulars."

I'm not doubting that they would, whether that meant more instability I don't know. Just if he had a different outlook and the ambition was really to get to the premier league, it's a way of competing without "spending money" in the eyes of the FFP.
The way of course with that is if his other clubs signed the players, for us to get them on loan, buy them cheap in the next window, gain promotion. Sell the club and the money that the other clubs lost through transfers to us goes back into their pocket.
That's the ideal for us. Not for the other clubs, not for the league. But it shows there are still many loop holes in the system.
Ultimately, the best bit of business Roland could do is sell the club.

The 29-year-old full-back only joined Bolton last August, but has made just three appearances in the Championship.
Looks like they have the scout as us
The 23-year-old, who has five caps for his country, has agreed a deal until June 2019.
After losing Austin as well, I suspect JFH is wondering whether joining QPR was such a good move, as they slowly slide down the table
Boro sign De Sart from Standard Liege.

Football is fucked.
