Why can't we just get him on loan instead?

Problem solved. He's in the squad for the Chelsea game. Good work everyone.

Moose · Sep 6, 2017

Can we terminate his contract and then sign him back on a free or no?

If we can I'd love us to do that, and then do it on purpose for a few more signings in future just to piss all over FIFA's chips.

We cant sign him on a free or loan him because as i understand it hes actually our player its just that hes not allowed to play

Moose · Sep 6, 2017

I was talking about terminating his current contract, thus making him a free agent, and then signing him up again.

Won't work though because players have to have been a free agent at the end of thr last window, apparently.

Correct. I'm surprised someone like me hasn't already posted that earlier in this thread. Maybe in response to djp making the same suggestion last night.

What if he legally changes his name to Yoann Benalouane? Could he play then?

He could, but he'd have to play in defence. Them's the rules.

I suggest he goes and hangs around in an airport for 4 months, wait for his loan deal to come through.

I suggest Luton. Riyad and I had a whale of a time there, getting Greggs take out and playing OutRun2.

It does though. He should be rounding into his best form, he's at an age where he could have one more decent move and now, instead of playing he's going to be sitting on his arse. Also makes it more difficult for him to break into the side. To suggest this doesn't impact his career is naive.

Not to mention bonuses, performance fees, that will be lost.

PLUS he won't be match fit which might affect his international career.

Interestingly, The Mercury are reporting that the club thinks it's no deal if they don't get the FiFA approval. Sporting say no, deal is done and he's your player. FIFA say nothing - they've said their last word on it.

Anyone got any lawns they need mowing. In Portugal.

It would depend on whether his contract was 'subject to international clearance'. If that was stipulated, we could terminate the deal. We would be completely stupid to do so of course. Come January we will have the player we have wanted for some time and it'll save us having to try and sign someone else about 30 seconds before the pissing deadline.

A fella has just tweeted that Silva has been in his estate agency asking about a 4 bedroom house.

So it seems he's here!

Hope it's a nice big house. If he's going to be pacing back and forth in it for 4 months I worry for the carpets.

It has no impact on his ability to earn the agreed salary stipulated in his contract. The suggestion that waiting another 18 or so weeks before appearing will have a massively detrimental effect on his career as a whole wouldn't be entertained by any court.

I have a lot of experience with plenty of trade restriction cases - this case wouldn't make it past a decent solicitor's waste paper basket.

What about all the win bonuses

Quite possible. Depends what the contract says. Although with our great legal team I'm sure we probably have to now pay them twice the money and build a statue in his honour.

I certainly hope the club are trying to make him feel a bit more welcome than trying now to renege on the deal.
