Basically mate, obviously with out the details which we don't know and which will make all the difference and will be analysed in court. Ricky picked up an injury that needed an op, Sunderland ask Inter, the players parent club, for permission to operate or we'd lose him for last half of the season. Inter refused to give permission and we'd have to play on with him. He later broke down completely, Sunderland claim the terms of the loan were voided as Inter refused treatment which in turn could achieve permanent damage, so we tried to agree a lower fee. Inter again refused so we said the whole thing is off. Now inter want to force the transfer. In the meantime since the season has ended, inter have thrown the lad out into the cold, still no op, no training nothing, claiming that he's now a Sunderland player despite the transfer never being complete as the player hasn't signed a contract with us and we haven't paid them. This thread is about who's responsible for the poor ****. I believe he's still Inter's responsibility until the court rule otherwise as there only player contract currently in existence is his contract with inter and because article 13 Respect Of Contract in the Fifa Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.
