Would love to be a fly in the wall at the meeting of BT broadband's insurance firm when they receive Vichai's claim documentation for Silva's wages, expenses and accommodation till January.

I suspect consequential damages would be excluded in the line rental contract.

I think all you appeasers to Rudkin are seriously missing the point... which is why the **** did we leave it til last minute dot com to sign the Cnut ? All this shit the guy only cost 22m why not bring him in regardless of the DD situation we needed cover for DD anyway it's just a cop out to say oh well we were waiting for the DD situation before we could do owt? It's complete incompetence by the club, disgrace

We have budgets to stick to, we don't know if that wold have taken us over budget or over FFP if we hadn't completed the DD transfer.

[Tuna]

It's a complete farce of the highest order.

 

What the **** were we playing at waiting until the last minute to forward the documents on anyhow? 

 

We brought him over from international duty annd fully intended to sign him. Get the transfer sorted then worry about whether drinkwater goes.

 

Someone is responsible for leading the days events and has cost the football club hundreds if thousands of pounds. That individual pays with their job. If it's Rudkin so be it.

This transfer window has been shambolic for us. We had the Iheanacho signing that took months to conclude, the whole Riyad saga ending with him flitting around the airports of Europe trying to get a move on deadline day and now this. Either we're very unlucky or we're totally inept....

Please stop posting sensible rational arguments in the middle of a full on meltdown.

Shakespeare will have every right to be furious here, end of the day the club sold one of his best players and haven't replaced him. One injury and we could be in the much centrally now and we're left with a load of players with question marks over whether they can cut it.

Where does this leave Silva?

 

He hasn't officially left Sporting has he, will he not just play there until January?

 

He has. The transfer is done, he's no longer a SCP player. FIFA don't contest the transfer, they contest the player registration with the FA.

To be fair to FIFA, if you miss the bus by 14 seconds you have missed the bus...

 

 

Given all the recent scrutiny they've been under you can understand them wanting to be compliant to the t.

 

That's not completely accurate. You started to board the bus before the deadline, but finished after. Can they really close the door with you in it?

Three different situations. Iheanacho had that image rights legal issue - not the fault of the club. Mahrez's decision to go on a tour of European cities was likewise nothing to do with the club. The Silva one looks as if it was badly handled, but there may be factors we don't know yet (did SP up the price at the last minute?). Personally I'd prefer to know more before joining the lynch party...

[Finnegan]

Regards a loan to lower leagues, you can only play for two clubs in a season can't you? 

 

So if we loan him to the championship, assuming he's played for Sporting in August, he wouldn't be able to play for us?

This deal could have been sorted well before the window closed. Like you said Tuna did it really matter if Drinkwater hadn't signed but the club should have signed Silva regardless of the dd situation

Just plain wrong, time to string someone up and burn down their homes.

Neither of those are relevant in this case. Sorry

Perhaps because our total spend would have been 63m instead of 28m?

Perhaps because we didn't need Drinkwater and Silva and there was no guarantee we would have got anything like 35m for Drinkwater in January.

Leicester are now working with Sporting Lisbon, the player and FIFA to try to resolve the situation - and trying to persuade FIFA that the deal should be allowed to stand.

If FIFA refuse the registration, Silva's transfer will collapse - he will remain a Sporting Lisbon player, and Leicester will pay no money for him.

 

I suspect that he wont ever see him in a Leicester shirt, Sportingwill be releuctant in January to sell

The worst thing about this joke is that I bet that is what his actual computer looks like....

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

Seems to me the club knew the situation on that evening - hence the lack of a major announcement.

 

Given this story is now emerging, I ponder whether the club has made initial representations to FIFA on the matter in Private, they've not been successful, and so they've gone to the next stage of a more public appeal via the press.

Exactly, there's every chance Chelsea don't want Drinkwater in January and very likely they don't want to pay £35m either.
