Teasy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Those are the comments of a player not wanting to annoy his own fans AFAICS, he's still got to play games for them after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/llambias-happy-with-newcastles-finances-7546062.html Noticed the following paragraph at the end of the article. "The club yesterday completed the signing of the French winger Romain Amalfitano from Reims on a three-year deal." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 how come we have signed him before the window then ? I mean, i know this happens most recently Bayern with Shaqiri, but how does it happen ? I thought teams weren't allowed to sign players until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You're probably signing him in June when his contract runs out. You're allowed to sign a contract with an international player six months or less before it expires. EDIT: madras beat me to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 So, ( going off topic) what's up with Bayern signing Shaqiri for 10 million in February ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Dortmund have signed Marco Reus for around seventeen million Euros too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 So, ( going off topic) what's up with Bayern signing Shaqiri for 10 million in February ? You can still sign deals for players. It's just not really in effect until the windows open, at which point you're allowed to officially register the player as your own. Don't see why more clubs don't set up pre-window deals tbh.

summerof69 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I am surprised we don't then. give clubs time to replace, sign them for cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Aye, you can buy people whenever you want but you can't register them to play for you until the transfer windows are open (unless they're already out of contract - see Shefki Kuqi).

Smal Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 From another forum: "Good deal for you lot if it's a free as mentioned. He's very decent player for Reims. Excellent passing ability but he's unlikely to rack up the goals or assists. More of a holding the ball and releasing for another e.g Cabaye to do tricks with it. Think Arteta."

Village Idiot Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Always liked his brother when I have seen him play, actually the first time I saw this thread I thought you were linked with him instead. Hope he's as good. Now I think I'll have a salad for lunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably due to the risk of injury for the buyers or the selling club turning fans against them whilst that player is still playing for your team...
