This is my point, OLM. Even if the fee restriction stands and we can’t register Puerta and Laalaoui, they’re still our players and we’re well within our rights to sell or loan them out this summer. The EFL can’t actually stop us from selling them so I find the reporting about it from Baz confusing. Getting them both registered would be great as it stops Puerta’s value depreciating and we can actually use them but if not, at least we can try to break even on Puerta and loan Laalaoui to Maribor or something.

I not sure they are our players though. We may well have signed contracts with them and with the selling clubs but the point at which the player becomes the your player is when the registration is transferred from the selling club to the buying club.

The EFL won't let us move that registration to us at the moment so I think they still sit with their former clubs.

I'm in no way ITK on this topic I'm just reading up on it as I agree is seems absurd the limbo we are stuck in.

He can be our player and still not be allowed to play, just as Zambrano wasn't able to play last season, despite being our player. It's one thing to be employed by a club, it's another to be allowed to play in an EFL competition. Obviously, one's a doping ban and the other's a inability to register, but the outcome is the same.

I agree it's stupid, the deal was done before the embargo and not allowing us to play him (or sell him) puts even more strain on the finances that the EFL are currently supposed to be protecting.

The issue is they are only our players if we've made payment before the embargo.

I guess the key to this is:

Are they registered to play for Hull City? Definitely not.
Are they employees of Hull City Tigers Ltd? If they have signed a contract with the club then yes. It’s this latter point that seems to be where the confusion lies.

Agreed.

It'll be a moot point soon anyway as I was reading about a class action by (ex)players against FIFA which if they win will give every player the right to rip up a contact when ever they feel like it and move on. It would completely blow up the transfer system.

Just what football needs, more power in the hands of players agents...

I’d back that but with the caveat that release clauses are mandatory in every single contract and agreed by all parties when the contract is signed. If a player wants to unilaterally rip up his contract to force a move elsewhere as a free agent, he has to pay the entire release clause to his current club up front out of his own pocket.

Oh, and they can only register for new clubs during transfer windows so if a player rips up a contract in October, he’s **** out of luck until January.

Wow!

I think if that happened, football would be gone completely, just big players going to work for the one giving them the most money.
Lower league clubs would just disappear, amateur at best.
It sounds like like a regular person giving 2 weeks notice then starting their new job on the Monday after the 2 weeks are up!
Players need to be very careful, the Bosman ruling lost clubs a lot of money & made players & agents very wealthy.
If clubs start folding because there’s no transfer fees coming in, then those average players aren’t going to get anything.
Maybe football’s had its day, time to move on to something new!
I can see a Super League set up like the NFL, where the top players get drafted, that's the end of average Joe!
