Disco Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Seriously you're all just saying they shouldn't be allowed because it's Spurs. There's no good reason why it shouldn't be allowed. Be the same no matter who it was (aside from us) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Seriously you're all just saying they shouldn't be allowed because it's Spurs. There's no good reason why it shouldn't be allowed. Well if they got the paperwork in in time then it should be allowed. If they didn't, it shouldn't. Otherwise there's no point in a deadline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't understand a lot of the Spurs hate on here but on this occasion it's a simple case (if we are to believe those reports) of them not meeting the deadline, and as such, the transfer shouldn't be allowed to go through. Totally. It's the animosity towards them that I don't get. I let that go we were no longer competing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I would assume the transfer windows existed for the purpose of creating stability and ensuring some level of fairness throughout the season, i.e. Man Utd can't rob Andy Carroll if Rooney picks up a massive knee injury 10 games through the season (once AC's banged in 35 goals). If this deal wasn't "on the table" before the deadline, I'd agree, but it was on the table and it just took time to fill in some fucking paperwork.

Guest kingdawson Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Arsenal got special dispensation for the Arshavin deal (snow) and they also got it for the Gallas Cole swap deal that was completed AFTER the deadline. Manchester City also completed the Benjani deal a day after the dealine and the premiership allowed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how do you know whether a deal was on the table? Anyone could say anything about what was or wasn't agreed... the only certain thing is whether it was completed and submitted in time for the transfer deadline. It lasts for weeks FFS, there should be no excuses for failing to complete in time. Everyone knows the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lasts for weeks FFS, there should be no excuses for failing to complete in time. Everyone knows the position. As Bluestar's already said, Spurs played the brinksmanship to the limit and waited until yesterday afternoon to do business. I'd wager Madrid hawked him around for a knock-down fee because they wanted him sold and were prepared to make a big loss on him. They waited and waited and got a good player for a small fee but didn't leave enough time to get it completed. The deal's either done or it's not. Spurs, or any other club, can't turn around and say ''well it's not done but it's nearly done, so can we sign him anyway?" The answer should be 'no, you shouldn't have waited so long to get the deal started. It's not complete so he can't be registered.' They won't though and it's not right imo.

JH Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It doesn't matter who it is. A deadline is a deadline. If the paperwork wasn't completed and handed in by 6pm yesterday evening then the transfer shouldn't be allowed to go through - it's completely irrelevant that it's Spurs. It's a fucking deadline ffs. What's the point of it if the VdV transfer is allowed to go through? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought when the transfer window was introduced is was said that it would somehow protect the lower league clubs rather then affect the EPL clubs ?

SEMTEX Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Everyone moans about pointless bureaucracy in this country / THE WORLD, yet when football is involved, and Spurs are involved, you're all massive fans. Unsurprising tbh. Football should not be hindered by stupid things like this, Rafael Van der Vaart should not have 6 months of his career wasted because of delayed paperwork. People need to TAKE A LOOK AT THEMSELVES IN THE MIRRA, MAN. As far as I'm concerned, the system is working just fine how it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Be interesting to see where he plays. Not sure whether he is disciplined enough to play central in a 4-4-2 and Spurs don't have the forwards to play a 4-5-1 IMO although I guess at a push Crouch could operate there.
