Adrien Silva - Terms Agreed

[Swarles Barkley]

It will be even more stupid of dodgy if the transfer now went through.

 

What the fvck the gonna do is the question

 

eveyone already knows its been 14seconds late

[UPinCarolina]

And we're up shit creek with fvck all for a paddle. 

 

And if it doesn't go through we have two open squad positions now - or will that registration count against us, too? 

 

 

[filbertway]

Hopefully lessons are learned from this and we don't get involved in the pointless circus that is deadline day.

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.

Could have sorted that out by selling someone in Jan

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.

 

 

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?

Ever been to London? That happens every single day to the lemmings on the tube

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

No he still uses note pads from Poundland.

 

 

He has a king power biro though

[HankMarvin]

Major cock up if he cant play for 4 months, probably on 80k pw, flush that 1.4m down the drain.

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.

Literally millions I would have thought. An asset costing (from an accounting perspective) ~ 9m per annum can't be used for over one third of the season. At least 3m - 4m.

[Gerard]

I'd still bet good money that we will win the appeal all said and done.

Where is Silva now, has he gone back to Sporting Clube de Portugal. 

Fixed.

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 Clube de Portugal player, and Leicester will pay no money for him.

 

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

Fixed, and, he's not our player anymore. It's been said repeatedly, FIFA didn't block the transfer, they blocked Adrien's regristration in the FA and PL.

I have, and that happens here too. The points remains that it looks like it was a technical issue that prevented the documents from arriving in time, and that means there's a good change it can be overturned on appeal.

Cancel his contract and sign him on free?

He has signed for Leicester, he is just not registered.

[420Hashish]

Really FIFA? Blocking the move because it's 14 seconds late?

[Gerard]

It seems a very strange occurrence that a player can be allowed to transfer clubs but not allowed to play for his new club.

 

FIFA aren't benefitting anyone by stopping a footballer plying his trade. They're supposed to be looking after the game and not creating problems where there doesn't need to be one. I'm sure this will get resolved for Silva's sake more than Leicester's.

 

 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

14 seconds after midnight? Doesn't that make them 1 hour and 14 seconds later? 

 

[The Guvnor]

14 seconds avoidable I know, but come on, the ultimate act of pedanticism from FIFA, must be parking attendants on their days off! (no disrespect to any FT PA by the way).

[Permafrost]

Hour ahead over there.

Fax gift To Rudkin

[adam]

Can he play  in the checkatrade  trophy. Could build the team round him lol. 

[suffolk fox]

I think what is more concerting in this whole debacle is that the club officially have said absolutely nothing.  Hence, the scaremongering and doom scaring merchants having a field day.

 

In truth, nobody knows diddly squat about the true situation.

 

Until something official is said either by the club, fifa or fa I suggest everyone is patient and wait.

Neither of those are relevant in this case. Sorry

Both arguments are irrelevant 

Perhaps you'd like to explain further, because that makes absolutely no sense.

 

You were asking the club to get in Silva regardless of DD leaving. I've just given you valid reasons as to why that might not be possible. You can't just bin them off and pretend they aren't there.

 

It might not the the case, but it could be.

How do you go about forcing other clubs to bid worthy sums on your own players, especially when we're talking a significant amount of money?

Zurich is GMT+1

[matty98]

So we submitted the paperwork on time but they received it late. Surely it's just a case of proving we submitted it before the deadline and all will be well

[simon789us]

This is a bloody joke if correct about 14 seconds FIFA need to take a long hard look at themselves can understand all the comments about its late but come on 

[ronnup]

Is be interested to see what the PFA think of this. Where their support for the player is.
