UEFA
rules stipulate that a club can register a maximum of three new players
in the January transfer window, and so it was decided that Craig
Bellamy, Shay Given and Wayne Bridge would be the new signings included
in the squad list submitted at the end of Sunday, February 1st.
One
player who has already played in the Champions League for another club
this season is also allowed to play in the UEFA Cup, which meant that
Bridge got the nod over the former Hamburg SV midfielder.
Confirming
the decision, Mark Hughes says: "There are only so many you are allowed
to bring in, so we have had a look at it and Nigel won’t be involved.
It will be Craig, Wayne and Shay that we were allowed to add.
"We looked at Nigel, but with the cover we have in his area with Vincent and also Pablo that’s what we have gone with.
"We’re hopeful of carrying on in the UEFA Cup, and it would be great to progress further into the latter stages."
