And all this time Adrien Silva has been locked in a box with a can of poisonous gas which may or may not leak.....

Good. One less chance of him getting the now statutory injury to join our club.

Deadly in the box.... or not.

I bet he's delighted with the move.

Peter Bonetti would have struggled against him.

Seriously though this has been beautifully executed from start to finish and the club and FIFA should give themselves a bloody big pat on the back.

Never realised he was so popular. He went back for this at the weekend. Will surely be a tremendous asset for us (if managed properly).

I couldn't decide if Wayne Knight had just lost some weight.

Why should he be treated different to everyone else?

Breaking on TalkSquawk:

FIFA have rejected Leicester's bid to sign Silva

FIFA has rejected Leicester's request to sign Adrien Silva from Sporting Lisbon.

Leicester thought they had beaten the August 31 deadline to sign Silva as a replacement for Danny Drinkwater, whose move to Chelsea was also confirmed after the 11pm cut-off.

The FA immediately forwarded the deal to FIFA's Transfer Matching System, which was rejected by the world governing body because the deadline had passed.


And the deal has now been confirmed as off, as a FIFA spokesman confirmed: "We can confirm the following decision of the Single Judge of the Players' Status Committee: the petition made by the Football Association for permission to request the International Transfer Certificate for the player Adrien Silva and subsequently register the player for its affiliated club, Leicester City FC, is rejected."

Sky Sports News had been told Leicester were frustrated in the delays in transfer papers reaching them but that they were completed and signed within minutes upon arrival.

Leicester officials were confident the papers were sent before the midnight deadline, with a one-hour extension having been granted by FIFA for the international transfer.

But the Transfer Matching System (TMS) - which links clubs with the FA, other governing bodies and FIFA, showed the documents were late in arriving.

Silva recently attended Leicester races with the Foxes players, whom he will now not be joining.

Does that read as though it was the FA that sent the late papers?

So is this down to SL hiking up the price on the night and us not being quick enough with the tippex?
