Just get pissed-off with those doom and gloom end of the world merchants because we didn't sign 2 players none of us had heard of before. I'm not going to have a go at Ayre over this one as I dobt it was his fault. However we do need to learn the lessons from this window.
You're forgetting the statisticians, psychoanalysists etc etc lol. (Rest of tc) You''ve an old fashioned view of coaching/management staff is understandable It's not how fergie did it to be fair.....hold on....Moyes appears to do it the same old way......carry on..
"All clubs have an agreement that they sort their problems/disagreements out in the court of sports arbitration" I think it's time for niceties to go away now after how their owner treated us. Let's make that fat Ukranian **** pay for this
To be fair nobody really knows what happens for the rest of the month,many clubs and players may have been approached and nothing came of it. No club announces all of it`s targets.
Indeed. It's like winning a game and pointing out our faults in that game. We got 3 points but to get another 3 pts you need to see where we were weak. I'll whinge but it's not the guillotine without a hearing! It's Henry's call at that level. Either he has all the info and finds it acceptable/unacceptable or he feels he's got no info just like us and he finds it unacceptable. I'll be most unhappy if we make top 4 and it's still an issue us getting targets though.....
Watching what has happened over this window, I am starting to think that the transfer market is fragmenting into 3 distinct parts. Firstly you have the Super Star section. A small number of clubs who covet players with a fee in the region of 100 million Euros Star section. A far larger number of clubs either/or at the top of the largest leagues or still competing in CL who are attracted to players with a 30 - 50 million Euro fee Futures and Last Legs section with a fee range of 5 - 20 million Euros. The effects of this segmentation are that it is driving up fees and concentrating competition. In fact its creating a bubble that will have very serious consequences when it bursts.
Not so sure about that. Buyout clause is a business given to this business that all participants sign up to. If we have wasted time and money based on the acceptance that it's a done deal due to that clause (as well as missing out on alternatives due to verbal arrangements with club officials we can prove are designated authority to talk as reps of club) then we have a right to compensation. Or upholding verbal agreement. Where's bloody Swarbs, he'd know!!!
If we wanted, we'd be a part of it but the player would have to be part of it. As I said, I doubt it will go that way as its a lengthy process.
Its a FIFA rule which all clubs under its banner have to follow, they would probably throw a club out of the game if it broke the rule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Arbitration_for_Sport
If we triggered a clause in the players contract and the selling club chose to ignore it its our argument.
