I’m just not seeing it. Don’t see how FIFA could nod it through. Presumably they will have to refer to all parties for evidence and it could still result in a protracted situation.

FIFA Regulations on the Transfer of Players, Annex 3 Article 8.

We (or the FA) have to request an International Transfer Certificate, which then has to be ratified by La Liga. If they take no action within (I think) 15 days, the certificate is granted automatically, assuming everything else is in order. If they respond to the ITC request but refuse to issue one, it goes to either FIFA's Status of Players Committee or the Dispute Resolution Committee, who can rule on it and issue a provisional ITC.

Those were my initial thoughts but it has been stated on here many times that Messi would come from a separate contingency budget and wouldn’t affect our other business

Weird - I thought we’d signed a CH?? And a midfielder. Must have been dreaming

Thanks. Hardly a breakthrough by the sound of it. You think FIFA will wave it through?

The consensus I've seen seems to be fifa will waove it through but if we lose the court battle that follows they'd transfer ban us and ban messi from playing for 6 months.

They obviously have a lot to gain from making sure players stick to their contracts.

Wolves and Sporting had the same thing with Rui Patricio. There was an attack at Sportings training ground on the players by fans and a lot of the players used it to void their contracts. There was a lot of dick waving by sportings president about bans and demanding the release clauses, but eventually he settled for reasonable fees months after the players had been at their new clubs.

Yeah so I actually listened to that podcast (which you clearly did not) and he didn't say that. That's something someone said on here and the usual suspects jumped all over it without bothering to check if it even happened. Ahsan asked Sam a hypothetical about which players could potentially be involved and they both just think out loud for a minute and speculate like we're all doing. It wasn't news he reported. It's hilarious how worked up you guys get over Sam Lee.

Here's the rough transcript. It's at 26 minutes for anyone who wants to listen for themselves:

"My thinking for the whole thing is that City probably are desperate to get Messi, and if they are desperate to get Messi and they had to pay 200 million but they could, for arguments sake, completely hypothetically, give Bernardo Silva as part of that operation my guess is that they would. I think the only player they wouldn't want to give is De Bruyne, but maybe they want him so much they would even do that? I'm not saying that's going to happen, I'm just thinking out loud. I'm just thinking hypothetically, if the board was given the option you can have Messi but you could give De Bruyne would they do that? I'm just trying to quantify how desperate they are to get it done."

You guys are so dumb with this Sam Lee stuff sometimes. Give it a rest.

If my auntie had bollocks she’d be my uncle.

Sam Lee is more of a fuckin’ Charlatan than Tim Burgess!

Sky sports bang on the money as usual, shame it’s pounds, shillings and pence. Stay on here if you want the decimal view

A negotiated transfer would be the preferred solution I think (terms permitting) and Sky's info suggests they are at least meeting. I thought that was significant. You only meet if there's something to discuss. Up to now, Barca have reportedly refused to negotiate a transfer remarking that there is no basis to until the release clause is met.
