I think that what added to the confusion was there were a number of things happening all at the same time as separate posts / comments all having something in common but not necessarily a direct connection.
For example Lannon left the week of the transfer deadline and a number of deals were being done.
We were watching for what people like Matt Shaw and Mick Gledhill were saying and MG said Foster and Hudson would be joining Fax.
Fax announced a 4pm deadline day signing which some thought would be Hudson and others Foster.
If Hudson came in along with Johnston, Littlewood and Whatton already being with us the question of loans / DR, deadline day and numbers and the rules was asked.
Only Gledhill mentioned Hudson as incoming and only the Foster signing details were officially mentioned by the club with nothing being said regarding the status of the other Leeds lads but the Hudson link looked true when Fax named 4 of them in the original 21 which included Hudson who was then pulled and replaced by Widdop shortly after even though Widdop wasn’t fit to play!
Talk about confused.com even the numbers explanation for Hudson not being named doesn’t add up because they wouldn’t have been exceeded anyway!!
As before just have to wait and see how things turn out I guess?
