with the Premier League
you can’t play someone
who’s not been registered in your
25 man squad.
nor can you play them
in a cup if they’ve
already played for
another team.
if a player’s on loan he can’t
play his parent team.
they used to let clubs decide
themselves but now feel it
compromises the competition.
signings are only permitted during
transfer windows
unless the player’s
unattached or a goalkeeper
and it’s an
emergency loan
but the rain still falls on
the Western Ghats
and in the Spring
the Bengal tiger strides and
roars before her
cubs.
