Loic Remy has told Harry/DQpr that he WILL STAY with them unless a big club calls. Saints will now raid Aston Villa for defender Ron Vlaar. Spurs set for a double raid on Saints pair Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriquez.
To all Leicester fans, especially AKCJ: What's going on with Cambiasso? It seemed like the deal was done and it seems to have gone dead over the past few days.
This is from the FL website, I'm still not entirely sure what it would mean in terms of a price for Wickham 65 Compensation Fee for Players out of Contract 65.1 In determining the Compensation Fee under Regulation 64.5 the Professional Football Compensation Committee shall take into account the costs set out in Regulations 65.2 and 65.3 and any of the criteria set out in Regulation 65.4. 65.2 Any cost incurred by either Club in operating an Academy including (without limitation) the cost of providing for students: 65.2.1 living accommodation; 65.2.2 training and playing facilities; 65.2.3 scouting, coaching, administrative and other staff; 65.2.4 education and welfare requirements; 65.2.5 playing and training strip and other clothing; 65.2.6 medical and first aid facilities; and 65.2.7 friendly and competitive matches and overseas tours. 65.3 Any other costs incurred by the Transferor Club directly attributable to the training and development of Players including any Transfer Fee or Compensation Fee referred to in Regulation 65.4.3. 65.4 The criteria are: 65.4.1 the status of the two Clubs involved; 65.4.2 the age of the Player; 65.4.3 the amount of any Transfer Fee or Compensation Fee paid by the Transferor Club upon acquiring the registration of the Player; 65.4.4 the length of time during which the Transferor Club held the registration of the Player; 65.4.5 the terms of the new contract offered to the Player by both Clubs; 65.4.6 the Player's playing record in Club and international team appearances; and 65.4.7 substantiated interest shown by other Clubs in acquiring the services of the Player.
As with their professional counterparts, some young players will take the opportunity to move clubs if the chance arises. And with larger clubs seeking to recruit players at ever younger ages, this is becoming increasingly common. In the majority of cases, clubs will reach mutual agreement on a compensation fee. However, in others the two clubs' valuations will differ, sometimes significantly, and the matter will need to be settled through an arbitration process. The professional game's method for determining the amount of compensation payable for training and development of players under the age of 24 is through the Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC). The PFCC is incorporated under the rules of both The Football League and Premier League, and forms part of the collective bargaining agreement with the Professional Footballers' Association. The PFCC comprises of an independent Chairman, appointees from The Football League and Premier League (as appropriate), an appointee of The Professional Footballers' Association and an appointee of the League Managers' Association. PFCC hearings take place on an agreed date with each club required to provide evidence to support their valuation of the player in question. In making its judgment the committee will take into account the costs of both clubs in operating a Football Academy or Centre of Excellence, as well as the age and playing record of the player, the length of time he was registered with his original club, the terms offered by both clubs, the status of the two clubs, the substantiated interest shown by other clubs in acquiring the registration of the player and any amounts paid by the original club to acquire the player in the first place. Unlike FIFA's formulaic approach, this domestic process allows for greater flexibility in setting the level of compensation according to the merits of each individual case. In deciding on a compensation figure, it is not uncommon for the PFCC to set fees that build as the player becomes more established at first team level. Recent cases have seen clubs receive a basic compensation fee with further payments becoming due on the player's debut, following a certain numbers of first-team appearances and after international appearances. It is also usual for there to be a sell-on fee should the player be sold at a profit at any point in the future. http://www.football-league.co.uk/yo...the-tribunal-system-explained_2293643_1423139 The terms offered by both clubs are entirely based on the perceived market value, in the wage they offer. Contract size give a club it's valuation on it' books for insurance and reason like this. Say if west ham offer him a 4 year contract on 42k (which is the players present demands aparently) that's just over 4 million, we paid 8 million which is taken into concideration. His current status is he only just broken into the first team and produced at the level, he developed quite late so didn't see the best of him till the last 6 months of his contract, which is also taken into consideration, then there's all his cost you're so fond of. I think 6m is fair.
And? What do you think of the signing? Happy, underwhelmed, overjoyed? I think he's a half decent signing but it makes you wonder, why was it only your lot who wanted him?
Not the type of signing you would expect from Nigel. He is 34 and while he still has a lot to offer a lot will depend on what state he is in. No pre season or anything so it might take time Still a very exciting signing and 1 I think could have a big difference. All the talk about lack of experience in our squad now goes out the window
Napoli and Manchester United have reached an agreement for Marouane Fellaini on a season long loan (Gazzetta Dello Sport)
The Foxes are about to sign up a Fanni. France international Rod Fanni is flying into meet up with manager Nigel Pearson.
That was quick, he only signed this afternoon. It's a lack of Premier League experience that your midfield has, not just footballing experience. Serie A and the PL are two very different ball games. I refer you to Andres D'allesandro, who was a **** bit part player at Portsmouth but went on to smash it in the Argentine Premier League.
