[Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

[Thunder Bolt]

Whilst the deal can be done and everything agreed, can a player actually be signed in this manner outside the transfer window? I would have thought that he will be contracted to play for Watford until the end of the season

We signed Buanonotte before Christmas but he couldn't play for us until the January window opened.

 

[JBizzle]

No.

NSC has lost it's tiny mind. Again.

It depends on what you mean by "sign". Can they complete the transfer and become an Albion player outside the transfer window? No. Can Brighton agree the transfer agreement and player contract outside the transfer window? Yes. We did it with Buonanotte in November.

The key piece in the announcement is "The transfer will be concluded once the window opens in January and will be subject to work permit and all regulatory approvals".

Talking of Roberto De Zerbi, Romano was right about him talking to Brighton, two days before being announced.

No, he isn't right 100% but then who is?

Me - on Nsc

Yes seems odd. I guess they sign something from x of June now. But I want to be sure there’s no chance of a hijacking if this happens now…!

You can agree a transfer fee with a club and a contract with a player at anytime. The move is then only completed when the registration of the player can be transferred once the buying clubs transfer window happens, but once the deal is agreed and signed everything is legally binding (subject to international clearances etc).

Recent examples of deals completed announced by us when the transfer window was closed include Facundo Buonanotte (announced November) and Pascal Gross (announced in May 2017) and he actually made his final appearance for Ingolstadt the day after his transfer to us was announced.

Of course, Sheebo. How could I forget you?

 

[Clive Walker]

But will Maguire play in the Semi Final? Still waiting for an answer on this.

Edited it for you.

Reports of fog?

It’s the legally binding but I was unsure of but you Sir are an encyclopaedia of knowledge so I feel relaxed now

And famously Haaland was announced 10th May last season

It works the same as any other contract, once signed its done and requires a lot of legal wrangling and lengthy court cases etc to get out of. The transfer window actually just applies to the registration of the player and being able to move it from one club to another.

Why do we need him if Connelly will be back

Do you really think he's going to adapt to RDZ 100% attitude going forward.
Me thinks not!

What language does Bernardo speak?

Portuguese. Like the rest of Brazil.

Watfords take

Very encouraging.

Yeah happens regularly. If it is actually happening he'll have signed a contract dated in advance for when the window opens.

Someone who can come in from the left and also play as a deep lying striker. Seems perfect for us.

 

[Frankworthington]

Not really, we were in for Nunez.

And Gonzalez

 

[Sheebo]

And Gonzalez

May go back in for him in the Summer I feel.. get some depth in there with some ready made players… Still think we need another CM to replace Mwepu - see how RDZ rates Alzate - Gilmour clearly not fancied…

He was never here ........................
