Hopefully only after Carmont returns? We could be leaving ourselves a bit short here.

You can all but guarantee there'll be a 48hr recall in it like Bradford had in Dave Halley's loan agreement with Wakey.

(Least I'd bloody well hope so! )

If he ships out as well, it will leave us with only Phelps as back up for the 3/4's.

I would suggest that means we are making room for another player.

If there isn't, there is something wrong.

Or paying for the one we signed, I suppose Bailey can cover centre and Carmont shouldn't be out too long

I ask this because the general rule of loan deals is if there is no recall clause, the team loaning the player pays his entire wages, if there is a recall clause, again usually the flip side is only part of his wages are paid by the club loaning the player.
As such Saints (again i believe) cannot ask for Scott Moore/ Matty Smith or Ste Tyrer back from their loans as hudds and celtic are paying their entire wages.
worth a question?

Valid point but am I right in suggesting that the deals you cited are meant to be season-long deals? Therefore I'd expect similar to what you'd said; however, this is mid-season and, as such, I'd suggest we'll have a recall caveat in it.

For Gleeson to have signed, we must have had enough cap space left to afford him and Goulding at the same time, given the timing. It depend on when the Mossop deal was done to know whether we've got his and Goulding's salary free now.
