    Not according to to the majority of people.

    Just insert "Andy Gray" into any curses that you would have aimed at Deon Burton.

    Not saying we are gonna miss him - but how the hell can Wednesday do that, or we agree to it?

    pick the two tonight who will play Saturday and give 'em at least two games to forge some sort of partnership. McLeod and Dickson for me. Strange deal though, he's permanent so how can they insist he can't play ?

    He's our player though?

    Nope sorry Gillespie you are NOT allowed to play against us.

    Its not that unusual is it?

    Parker didnt play against us when he went Chelsea etc. More of a gentleman's agreement type thing is it not?

    Are there any other examples of this?

    Loanees, yes. But a player who has been permanently transfered not being allowed to play for the club that now owns his registration and pays his wages against someone he used to play for?

    Actually, if Shef Wed have any sense, they'll be on the phone to Parky saying that they're happy to waive that clause in the contract and they'd love him to play on Sat!

    Was Parker a clause in the contract - or, as you say, a gentleman's agreement?

    And are these just isolated examples - or is it common practice? If the latter, I was not aware of it. Can we tell Wolves that we don't want Iwelumo lining up against us?

    I think there may have been something similar with Defoe not playing for Pompey v Spurs last year as well but that may have been a loan.

    I thought those kind of clauses weren't allowed anymore - not for permanent deals? Guess I thought wrong...

    Burton is better than Andy Gray on what I've seen, though that doesn't particularly make him any good.... ;-)

    I wonder if it was them that insisted on this, or us.

    We let Varney play against us when he was on loan. Why the hell would we allow for Burton not to play for us after he signed and is a Charlton player not on loan. What are we doing in these deals?

    Didn't Man Utd get in trouble for stopping Everton playing Tim Howard even though he was a perm signing?

    Do we have another source other than Vital Football for this?

    I know it's the principle of the thing - what's it chuffing got to do with Shef Wed who we chose to play up front? But stop protesting - it might get overturned and then we'll have to play him!

    Good news!!

    Hopefully it won't be overturned.

    Would rather see Dickson or McLeod given the start and the chance to show what they can do...

    Be careful... what if Shef Wed decide to do the gentlemany thing and withdraw Franny Jeffers from their starting line-up? Wouldn't want that now, would we? I know our old misfiring strikers usually come back to haunt us. But if you were putting money on one of them to be as absolutely useless against us as they were for us, my stash would definitely go on Jeffers...

    yes, was on Sheff W's official site when we completed the permenent move. Still not sure how we can agree to this though. Bottom line, he is our player.

    Just because he is our player doen't mean we have to play him.

    I can't understand why we would have agreed to this, but it seems that we have. I can't think of any rule that would mean he was unable to play.

    I thought that it only applied to the premiership that you couldn't have this sort of agreement which was brought in after the Tim Howard/Man Utd affair.

    this is bollox - how the **** have we agreed to this, not that it matters, just winds me up

    we could be down to no strikers and Parky would still not play Dickson.

    So Varney can play against us when he is still on loan. We need to look into things like this before we sign a player.
