This really makes my blood boil, they have already got the odds massively stacked in their favour ...

I can only hope that Fifa deals with them appropriately this time.
"Under-18s can only be transferred abroad if:

  • The player's parents move to the country in which the new club is located for non-footballing reasons.
  • Both clubs are in the European Union or European Economic Area and the player is aged between 16 and 18. Even then, the buying club must meet more criteria relating to education, training, living conditions and support.
  • They live within 100km of the club."
Well there goes our Irish recruitment...
 
Does this open the window for us to look at Vietto in Jan? Probably not but thoughts?

My mate who is an Atletico fan is convinced Vietto is gone in Jan, said he is 3rd choice now but they wouldn't want to sell when they couldn't replace him in the summer. With Costa arriving he would fall to 4th choice and should be allowed to leave. He was also pretty surprised that we want him/are linked with him, thinks his current level is lower than us.

Probably not, he was saying that he thinks he is more suited to a lower La Liga side like an Eibar or Levante. If we are interested though it shouldn't be too hard to get him in January, depending who else is also interested.
