We haven't if they take him back and flog him to another club.

We have no idea what's been paid and what Leverkusen are happy, or not happy, to do. I see little point in getting worked up about, just wait and see what happens.

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.

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.

This is why I think we should appeal to CAS, not about the fee restriction in general as I don’t think the club have a leg to stand on, but regarding these two individual players and their registrations.

Both players permanently signed prior to 1st July and signed contracts to become employees of the club. We would have a much stronger case with CAS that the EFL are not following the spirit of the rules by preventing their registration due to the 1st July date than our appeal against the fee restriction in general.

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

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

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.

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