There is just something missing in relation to the commital of the 'we've got this done team' type approach which just challenges my confidence. Has the FA definitely approved the transfer and categorically said all is good, paperwork submitted correctly and on time - just FIFA o approve international clearance? I believe so - yes clearly when there is nothing to be approved in addition to international clearance then it's not really relevant to mention it when announcing a deal. In this instance, when you need FIFA to 'rubber stamp' the deal, it would be considered a little presumptuous to make the announcement without clarification and there is no point in challenging FIFA's authority without any need to do so. They could take a dim view of that and then you end up in a potential appeal situation which we don't need. It will be rubber stamped Monday so the player knows he needs to be in Leicester by Wednesday for training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the FA definitely approved the transfer and categorically said all is good, paperwork submitted correctly and on time - just FIFA o approve international clearance? It's probably nothing. I just find it strange that whenever we've signed players in the past, we have announced them as normal with just a small line in the release that says 'subject to international clearance'. So why different this time is all I'm wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted 2 September 2017 Share Posted 2 September 2017 Just a thought but Drinky's sale basically gives us Silva and Maguire for free. Splendid business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva though We have purchased as a number 8 - central midfield but not in the advanced 10 position- we have bought Iheanacho for that role. Well, Adrien is clearly a number 8, but versatile enough that he can play 6 as well. Bottom line is, he can run the length of the pitch, doing what needs to be done.

Bottom line is, he can run the length of the pitch, doing what needs to be done. We needed an 8 comfortable with the ball. Badly. Ndidi, Iborra or even amartey can assume the 6 role. Silva will coordinate midfield and defense (Ndidi and Maguire), take the ball forward and support the attacking players. Especially a doubled Mahrez who's in dire need of support. With Maguire and Silva the hoofballs percentage will sink drastically and the possession significantly increase. I absolutely can't wait to see Albrightonm Vardy, Mahrez, Nacho with Silva pulling the strings., in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 2 September 2017 Share Posted 2 September 2017 Delighted we've signed him and hugely encouraged by the comments from our Portuguese friends. It'll be him plus one (or two) in CM for a few years. Much as I love Drinky, Silva could prove to be a better player, which is mouthwatering. Learned something about our supposed ITKs this window too ("We are not interested in Silva" "Silva's not interested in us")... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with people offering information that they think may occur or they have been told by someone who works at the club - however they should say that. It is the ABSOLUTE MASSIVE TOOLS that I have a problem with that pass their information off as fact and belittle other people asking why they are even discussing possibilities that they have not ratified or do not support. I also have no time for people with previous/current contacts finding stuff out in real time from internet based sources and passing it off as "I've just heard this on the inside track" knowing it'll be in the mainstream internet domain in the next minutes and hours.

The ITK you're talking about came out and admitted he was surprised we signed him as it looked like we weren't after him. At the time he wrote that we probably werent after him but Drinky handing in a transfer request lead us to being interested again. I for one appreciate the itks on here even if sometimes they get it wrong. Things change all the time and they are not going to be right all the time but they are pretty good.

Learned something about our supposed ITKs this window too ("We are not interested in Silva" "Silva's not interested in us")... as someone who is an itk in another sport (my college's football recruiting, which prob sounds silly, but college football is massively popular over here in the U.S., people are fanatics), it is so very easy to look like you don't know anything. Things change quickly, a player decommits, and suddenly your team is after a player it wouldn't take a call from the week before. I expect there was a point there was no interest in Silva, and no interest from him either -- he looked to be headed to the hot tots, and we had too many MFs. But then Chelsea comes in for Danny, Mendy goes to Nice, Silva doesn't head to the tots, and we decide to have a quickie in the car together after months of seeing other people. Idk whether the ITKs are legit on this forum, but that stuff is so fluid, people out front of the moves look like fools when they fall apart, but at the time they share their info, they are absolutely right and privvy to inside info. Just things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subs Jakupovic Huth/Morgan James Albrighton or Gray Iborra Slimani In a 4231 against the bottom half teams I don't think we need Albrighton as we are already playing with 2 CDMs. Against top 6 oppositions we gotta pack the midfield and Albrighton should start.

Has the FA definitely approved the transfer and categorically said all is good, paperwork submitted correctly and on time - just FIFA o approve international clearance? All international transfers need uploading to the FIFA ITMS system, Sporting upload their side, we upload ours and if they match and are uploaded in time the transfer is approved. If there was no issue, the transfer should have been listed on the list of transfers released at 1.45am that night. Someone posted in the transfer thread what looked like quotes from the sporting side that suggested we failed to get the document uploaded in in. Looking through previous transfers we have definitely had said "so and so player has signed subject to approval" and make a big deal of it, pictures quotes etc. There is no way this is just a formality for me. That doesn't mean it won't be resolved quickly, it might me a minor issue. On the flip side, like the Sporting example I posted earlier, it can be a bloody mess if not handled correctly, and might need to go to appeal.
