Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[RussellC]

Sanchez almost seems to be too good to be true. I'm amazed that there aren't other clubs strongly interested. From what I've seen he'd be a superb addition, so I'm going to cross everything for the next few days.

I thought the Legia Warsaw issue was playing a suspended player?

It was only because he wasn't registered for the previous round, which was the clerical error. He did actually not play in 3 games which is what the suspension was, it's just the first 2 didn't count.

Fingers crossed for Sanchez, only going by the World Cup but could be just what we need.

I thought third party ownership of players is illegal. Didn't Brooking have to use all his connections at the FA to allow Wet Spam to get a points deduction over Tevez being overturned in favour of a fine for third party ownership?

I may be wrong but I thought it was a Premier League decision. Plus they paid Sheff Utd about £25m in compensation

Can't we just buy the bits of him that Elche own, and they can float about the pitch disconnected from the parts that are in third party ownership.

You mean like Emile Heskey?

[olaftab]

I like it when they mention this but leave out "but  not in recent time"!

The player will see improved economic conditions and sports expectations. In fact, the Aston Villa is one of the oldest and most successful clubs in English football, with seven league titles and one European Cup in their windows.

rob factually you are correct but I like Brian's version as it's more chewable!

We don't leave them in the windows anymore, last time we did that it got swiped.

Finally, it looks like we might be signing a player with a notable haircut.

Thanks for all the clarification about registration. I thought that the prohibition of any player's contract being held by a third party was an FA rule which was breached by the Tevez and Mascherano move to Wet Spam.

It's all I've ever wanted paulie

He got that Yorkie smile.

And as for haircuts they should be compelled to have a Jack Grealish. God, he makes me feel young to look at him. One if the resident treasures if this forum described him as "a 1940s spiv". Pure genius.

Jean II had a decent fro and jumper
