It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[chesterbells]

Would anyone seriously prefer to keep Jesus instead of signing Messi? There is no comparison. Messi is the GOAT, whilst Jesus has the name of the GOAT (according to Christians, not me).

Hahaha, tortuous, but fair play for the effort made, lol

Napoli getting a CB in 48 hours apparently, Mykola Matvijenko of Shakhtar 15 million , is that why there maybe movement with Koulibaly

Double tap for that racist ****.

He's too busy waiting for our knock at the door...

The Webster ruling/Art 17 hasn’t really been tested in a big money, high profile case yet. I have a feeling this might end up being the one that ‘blows the bloody doors off’

Now your talking

 

[Neville Kneville]

I would have thought so.

Doesn’t FIFA article 17 allow him to do it? Due to the Webster ruling...

Far as I know

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Far as I know

from Wiki.

Article 17[edit]
Article 17 of FIFA's Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players is entitled "Consequences of Terminating a Contract Without Just Cause", and is the fifth article of Chapter IV, "Maintenance of Contractual Stability between Professionals and Clubs". It outlines the provisions which apply if a contract is terminated without just cause, and the requirement for the party in breach to pay compensation.[9] Specifically, it states that any player who signed a contract before the age of 28 can buy himself out of the contract three years after the deal was signed. If he is 28 or older the time limit is shortened to two years.[10][11] Article 17 was introduced in December 2004, with effect from 1 July 2005.[12]

So if Messi wanted to use his clause in June when the league hadn’t finished Barcelona would of said yeah that been fine!

There is a lot grey area regarding Messi clause.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

He gets done for bigamy

if he ends up with us he can bigamy !

 

[city saint]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the Webster ruling?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

So......

Messi leaves, Signs a 2 year contract with us, City then put on their website "We have Messi" (City have had no contact with Barcelona, because they believe that Messi is out of contract)

Barcelona says "Messi is still a Barca player"

What then?

Messi becomes an illegal imminent.

 

[city saint]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the Webster ruling?

its kev on corry

 

[The Blue]

You would think FIFA would have the ability to quickly make a judgement on the contract issue. Ultimately he's able to activate the clause now or it has expired in June.

 

[chesterbells]

Ugly in what sense

The Barca PR campaign against him?
The press/media backlash against us or him?
Relationships between the two clubs/officials/Pep?
Tebas?

Barca supporters, as well as all of the above, I would guess.

 

[City Raider]

I thought the whole point was that this GOAT doesn’t need feeding [emoji1]. He feeds himself.

 

[bumbleblue]

But would the PL accept his registration if it’s not kosher at the Spanish end?

Depends if there’s any money in it for them

 

[KennyG]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the Webster ruling?

It’s something to do with the mechanic off coronation street.

 

[Bilboblue]

Haha Eric Garcia chose the wrong window to ask for a transfer.

He hasn't asked for a transfer, has he?

I thought he just told the club he wouldn't be renewing his contract?

 

[markbmcfc]

I want to believe but the disappointment will end me.

There’s a bit too much whiff of the Kaka situation for me. I know we have so many better people involved and there are vastly different circumstances but looking at the scenes in Barca it’s stopping me getting over excited.

I mean, it’s mind boggling stuff. He’s the best player to kick a ball in the history of the planet. Mad.

He was ruled not guilty.
