They were selling a contracted player. On the first of July Ings became a free agent so Burnley are now asking for compensation based on what they could have got whilst he was still under contract <ok>

OK, so in your world, on July 1 Spurs would be paying a transfer fee of 12 million to Burnley for a player who's no longer under contract to them? Righto.

I'm trying to work out if you're on the wum, being obtuse, or just being stupid. I'm guessing the first, but all three are possible. ;)

Ignore the fact that he's under 24 for a second. If a player was due to be out of contract on 30 June (such as Milner) and the transfer window wasn't due to open until 1 July (like in England), could a club buy that player during May/June...?

Yes, but when does the transfer officially take place? And is the player still theirs to sell at that point in time?

He is no longer in contract so is not theirs to sell. The valuation is based on what they could have received (had he accepted) whilst still under contract <doh>

If they wanted a set figure, they should have sold him before the contract expired. And no, I don't mean to spurs in May or June, I mean the previous summer or in January when a actual transfer window is open <laugh>

Aside from the fact that it's compensation that's going to be paid and not a valuation, hey couldn't have received that amount (as a transfer fee) because at no point could they close the deal.

If he was going abroad, Burnley would only get compensation covering what they'd spent on him excluding transfer fees and wages. They'd have got about £300k. Burnley should be grateful he stayed in this country as they'll get a lot more compensation as a result.

Ok, in that case you have bought a decent player for £5m <ok>

What if Ings had said ok to Spurs?

I'll refer to my first question to you in post [HASHTAG]#10319[/HASHTAG] that you deemed irrelevant...

Gerrez said:
And if all had gone well with negotiations, do you think Spurs would have paid £12m when they knew full well they could get him for a lot less...? Or do you think they were using a loop hole to enable them to speak to Ings first?

Like I said about 3 pages back, if Ings was up for it Spurs would have either had to pay or withdraw the offer. As far as I know the offer was never withdrawn <ok>
