We can’t now as is outside the windowSign Ryan Giles on a permanent.

We can't, the transfer window is closed? They'd have to terminate his contract.
I understood an existing loan deal could be made permanent at any tme outside the transfer window.We can’t now as is outside the window
Too late for that too. The contract has to be terminated before the window closes for someone to sign for a club outside of a transfer window.
Not that I know of unless something was pre arranged before hand.I understood an existing loan deal could be made permanent at any tme outside the transfer window.
have to be out of contact before the transfer window deadline.. like IscoIf Wolves and Giles agreed to mutually terminate his contract right now, he'd be a free agent, and would therefore be able to sign for anyone he wanted.. isn't that the case?
Boro can sign free agents now.
I'm of course not suggesting they're going to do so!
I mean a loan player is registered to the club to the end of the season.. so contract details and ownership should make no difference.Just drop Mowatt from the squad, simple.
I'm sure we did something similar with Lee Tomlin though.*
* Just checked, this from wiki:
On 31 January 2014, Tomlin signed for Middlesbrough on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season with a view to a permanent move. On 18 February, it was announced that he had signed permanently on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
If all three parties were agreeable and the deal stacked up then we could sign Giles permanently.I mean a loan player is registered to the club to the end of the season.. so contract details and ownership should make no difference.
Do Man City want to sell Zach Steffen to us? Do Wolves want to sell us Ryan Giles? Do they want to sign for us? We were after Archer on a permeant.. but Villa changed their minds. Alex Mowett.. he's got another year with West Brom.. do we want to pick that extra year up? Do they want to let us have him?
It's not guaranteed that these guys will be in the first team.. Mowett and Muniz haven't featured much. Ramsey may take a while getting up to speed.If all three parties were agreeable and the deal stacked up then we could sign Giles permanently.
Otherwise we've got Ramsey, Mowatt and Muniz fighting for two places in the matchday squad.
No big deal maybe but if we picked up a series of injuries to permanent signings then we'd have reduced flexibility in selecting replacements due to the matchday squad loan quotas.
