BigMicky Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 2 minutes ago, deep blue said: No, because the train has gone. But here we are talking about the football season which is still here and continuing. It's a completely inappropriate analogy. I see your point that rules are rules, but you always have to ask what are the rules for and how should they be interpreted. LCFC have not tried to gain an unfair advantage by inadvertently missing a deadline by a few seconds, and I'm sure the rules weren't put in place in order to deny an innocent player time on the pitch. It is also interesting to wonder why there should be a difference in eligibility simply because it is a transfer between nations. It's relevant, the train is making the journey, much the same as the season continues. What happens if other clubs missed the deadline by 15 seconds?

Woof Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 FIFA's involvement is simply matching up the documents from the two clubs involved - the FA documentation was time stamped 14 seconds late so FIFA couldn't accept it according to their rules. The issue is not when the documentation is submitted to FIFA it is when it was submitted to the FA . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a train also depart halfway through me boarding it. If i started boarding before departure, but hadn't completed it, it wouldn't leave with my right leg in the train and my left leg hanging out of the door.

dylanlegend Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 How the fcuk did we ask for a 2 hour extension and still miss the deadline? I don't blame FIFA for not allowing it, where do you draw the line? btw have we still signed him just he can't play until Jan? Bit like Turan at Barca?

Gerard Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 29 minutes ago, Matt said: Not really. The rumour was £40m. I was happy with £40m, good bit of business. We got £35m. Not only that, apparently we were only going to spend £15m on Silva, now £35m for Drinkwater, £15m for Silva, yeah i'm happy with that good bit of buisness.... No, because apparently due to the deal going on later than though, Sporting added another £4m, £5m? On top of the £15m, although it ended up rumour to be £22m (more than £5m on top), so why was that extra premium not added onto Drinkwater's price? Because it was their fault as you say playing hardball over the fee meaning our price for Silva went up, if Chelsea didn't want to pay that ...Deal off. I was more than happy with the Drinkwater fee, it's more than likely his career peak value. Considering how poor he's been for nine months as well it was fantastic business. I don't know what went on with the Silva fee but if they did add on another £5m this late on we should have withdrawn from the transfer. People panic about our midfield options and equating Silva to survival. We bought Iborra for £12m this summer, we have James, King and Amartey as well so there's four potential partners for Ndidi. Our options aren't as bad as people make out. I would stll have sold Drinkwater for £35m with or without the Silva deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 It's embarrassing on both parts.... reading the mercs latest report, it's a complete no go? If it doesn't get granted we don't want he transfer! appauling it really is, we've really embarrassed ourselves with this one. Cockwambles, absolute cockwambles.

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 I've got no sympathy for the club to be honest. They'd already been given a two hour extension and still cocked it up. The only party I have sympathy for is the player who now appears to be stuck in limbo land. It's just rank incompetence and has turned what looked like an ok transfer window into a bad one.

UPinCarolina Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 So if this doesn't go through, does that mean we have only 23/25 players registered on our squad? At that point, we pretty much have to sign a free agent - right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're still in the checkout queue they don't chuck you out dead on closing time either. This is a man's career we're talking about. We may find out we're not obligated to buy him either in the coming days and he may lose out on millions if he never gets his move all for a few seconds that don't inflict hardship on anybody apart from those affected by the transfer. It's not like Leicester have tried to gain an advantage so common sense should prevail as it looks terrible on FIFA vilifying a player because rules are rules.
