Gabriel Jesus

This sounds a right clusterfuck. So how many people were involved in this deal? And why are the original contracts not binding and set in stone from Jan 1st?

It's a bit of a farce, but not a lot can be done. I'm not sure deputising v Spurs or Everton is the best thing for him anyway.

Has anyone asked why we don't just get them to fax the papers over yet ? ;-)

For the last fucking time,we signed him in august,he can't be registered with 2 clubs at once so we had to wait till jan 1st to register him,we are done and it's the FA waiting for the hand over of the registration from Palmeries.It doesn't matter how many times you stamp your feet and slag the club off

FYI, I had hoped that perhaps we could register him after Jan 31 if the worst came to the worst. Not being sure, I've read up on the rules and it seems that is not the case. The transfer window is an opportunity to apply for (amongst other things) "the registration of a player transferred to it".

Outside of the window, the Board can refuse an application for a registration, or grant it - possibly subject to conditions. Since this is City we are dealing with, that means refuse it.

Sorry if this was obvious, but to me it was not. I had imagined that since we had signed him already, the registration could perhaps be done any time (as is the case with players out of contract).

Well said like Banging your head against the wall with some when the info is actually out there.
