They could have offered a realistic price (in the current crazy market) a couple of days earlier. We had to get the DD deal done first or so it seems. We're not still blaming Chelsea are we? They wanted Drinkwater, they signed him before the deadline and got him registered before the deadline. Why would they change their plans to allow us to bring in a replacement. Business is business and Chelsea conducted theirs within the rules/restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how the FIFA official measured the time? Was it on a solid gold Rolex they had got from Jack Warner? If so I think that's pretty unreliable. I think we used Rudkin's Casio as a reference for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet others have missed out (but not hit news), what happens if they let us off, where do you draw the line? 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours? It all goes to pot once you start not enforcing them. There is noone to blame but LCFC in this fiasco. We chose to sell drinkwater at the last minute. We chose to not sanction silva without drinkwater cash. We chose to not accept a lower bid for drinkwater for an earlier sale. I know we will never all agree on the priority of been a hard arse on transfer prices, but FIFA are not to blame for our incompetence. Also the one statement from LCFC was a lie, saying it was down to international clearance instead of late documents. Rubbish, with a last second decision like this you draw the line with a bit of common sense. I suspect the deadline rule is put in place to try to prevent clubs forcing the price up due to last minute desperation. It's fairly obvious we weren't trying to bend the rules to suit ourselves, it's a slight error, and both clubs have made their best efforts to secure a move for the player. Nobodies at fault and the only one to suffer is the only guy who counts and that's the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phube Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 Surely if what the Mercury is saying is true (re. The Transfer system, FIFA and the FA) then under their rules we 'submitted' before the deadline just that the FA 'received' after the deadline? Pretty open and shut really? Get on it you fancy lawyers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 LCFC is at fault, nothing complex about saying that, late is late. FIFA are doing absolutely the right thing officially. Unofficially I think the time could have been edited to one minute earlier, but maybe thats hard to do if its audited heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joke of course we have Mendy, Barnes, Lawrence, Drinky, Iborra the thirst for victory that will see us through. Look at that beauty! Bang on.

Chrysalis Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 Its a great deal guys. We just made a deal where we pay someone 6 months not to play, what is not to like? Of course in january shiva is going to be motivated like hell to play well with 6 months of pent up rage of not playing to let loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajthefox Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 I hope this goes through but you could see this happening a mile off and even though it comes across as pedantry, I can see why FIFA are seemingly sticking to the rules. The key, as others have said, is where do you draw the line? 30 seconds? A minute? 2 minutes? Sick of people giving Rudkin stick when they've not a clue about what actually happened and who is at fault but for me the club are responsible and no-one else. We don't know why we were waiting for the Drinky deal to be sorted but instinctively it sounds stupid. I would hope there was a reason, such as FFP, that we couldn't do Silva before Drinky. In all of this I just feel sorry for Silva. People can say what they want about him being paid handsomely to do fvck all until Jan but that's not his fault and the bloke clearly wants to play for us. Must be frustrating. Fingers crossed common sense prevails here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feck knows... not many cases to refer to for likely outcome. All I can refer to is what I read about similar case, Nice cancelled their appeal before they even got a judgement. But the arbitration board set up to sot out their mess with Sporting did suggest they had a case to win the appeal had they kept going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesteban Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 At least this debacle is good for one person. Matty James. He or Iborra will fill that spot. Glad to see him back, unlucky with injury. About time he got a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
