Transfer Embargo

Whilst you're right about not getting worked up Kalman is correct in that he was announced as signing therefore has more than likely signed a contract, so in fact is our player and we owe Leverkusen some money which the EFL cannot stop us paying now given it was agreed way before the embargo. They can only stop him playing and I think that could be a matter for the CAS. It's probably going to be irrelevant as I imagine Puerta has told the club he wants out and we will sell him soon.

But you're right, it's not worth getting stressed about, it hardly effects any of our lives unless Acun has asked someone for a sub to pay him.

 

Are people really confusing buying and registering?

They are two different things. We could have bought him and chose not to register him.

Surely he is 100% our player.

 

I vote to just wait and see what happens about them.

 

I’m pretty sure if there was a €6m offer on the table for him he’d belong to that club by now one way or another. The price we paid I think is top end fair and I can’t see anyone paying €6m for him.

 

I’ve raised both hands. Does that count as two?

2 windows... At least.

 

Isnt the registration of a contract different to registering for a competition?

 

they couldnt sign for us before 1st July because they couldnt sign before the transfer window opened

 

The transfer window opened in June

 

I do vote for let's wait and find out. But I do need some of the logistics explained.

Transfer window opened 1st June.

We announced the signing of Laalaoui 12th June.

Contract starts 1st July.

EFL restrictions imposed 3rd July.

How is he not our player?

 

so it did but I suppose it depended on what the original contract said

 

all those dates are not correct
you have also omitted when the registration was transferred
it may not be the same date as the contract starts

 

What dates are incorrect?

 

Transfer window opened 1st June.
I accept it's not so important but are you certain about all the other dates
you didnt mention when he was registered as our player

 

It only opened for a few days on the 1st June then closed again

 

Yeah I can go along with him not being registered before the embargo. Therefore he can't play for us.

But I can't see how he isn't out player. Like Barry suggests.

 

The other factor at play here with Puerta which I've not seen mentioned yet is whether Leverkusen have replaced him already. I mean, they'll also have wage limits they have to adhere to, and even if they're able to sell him - if they 'have to' take him back will their wage budget go over their limit for a short time until they're able to sell him? Are there any guarantees they'll be able to sell him and that parties are actually interested? There's so much to consider if it's ruled that he has to go back and it seems it'll cause so much of a mess compared to letting things go as planned.

 

Yes 1st June to 10th June
then opened on 16th June
why did it close for 5 days?

 

somebody only becomes "our player" when we register him (different to registering for a competition)

 

Why would leverkusen not care about not getting 3.5m that they're owed?
