Ben arfa to Nice is one example

So it did - fair play. Apologies for questioning!

 

[AZ Gull]

Has it? I certainly don’t recall any examples at all (not saying it’s not the case).

Ben arfa to Nice is one example

The Ben Arfa case was different, as it was FIFA who decided that U-21 matches counted as "official" matches, which the FA do not - Hatem Ben Arfa angry at Nice move hold-up by Fifa

.....The delay centred around article 5.3 of Fifa's regulations on the status and transfer of players, which states: "Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season.

"During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for two clubs."

A statement on Nice's website confirmed the club had received a copy of correspondence sent by Fifa to the French Football Federation.

It said that contrary to the position of the Football Association in England, Fifa had classed the U21 match for Newcastle United as "official".

He would be an excellent permanent signing. Young, quick, strong, English, scores goals. He'll end up a decent premier league player.

Long term perhaps but at the moment is no better than we have already.

 

[hopper_182]

Not for me. Good championship player.

Kane was quite mixed success wise in the lower leagues. These kind of players need to be hung onto (or signed permanently) but need to be playing as much as possible out on loan.

For the borrowing club, it's fine in the lower leagues on low wages if he makes a difference, but at our level I don't see what he'd bring or why we'd be the chosen destination (talking loan).

It's very similar to the Solanke situation.

 

[Icy Gull]

I don’t think we ahould be looking at any more loan players. Permanent signings only from here on in, we have good cover in all positions, except maybe Gross and Bissouma could slot in there I think. Not sure CH has confidence in his defensive work just yet though.

It’s a no from me.

 

[schmunk]

Am I the only one who thinks he is Championship at best?

21 seems to be a bit early to write him off. What would you have said about Carlisle United's Glenn Murray at that age?

...or indeed Stocksbridge Park Steels' Jamie Vardy.

 

[SAC]

He should stay at Villa. If he keeps scoring goals and Villa are promoted I think he will do much better than transferring to a struggling PL side or Wolves. If Villa are not promoted then someone will come in for him in the summer.

 

[Napper]

No time for this guy.

Strung out us , Swansea and Newcastle that summer waiting for better footballing offers . Then chose f kin Swansea City ....... nothing to do with the 1m bonus they agreed to pay him.

Just don't think he is a good fit for us.

Plus as mentioned, can see him being a bit Dwight Gayle where too good for 1 division but not quite good enough for the next.

 

[studio150]

Would he pass the no dickheads test?

Also can't see him being happy to be 3rd choice behind Murray and Andone and struggling to make the bench.

Looks like he could be available I’d guess 30 mil would get him

 

[Insel affe]

Nah, he’s going to be a flop in the long run.

Not convinced about him, somehow. Remember seeing him owned by the Brighton defence at Ashton Gate (Sidwell's goal match). Yes, I'm sure he's learned and progressed since then, but still not for me, Clive.

I dunno he’s got everything you’d want strong quick can finish good vision and knows the division if we could get him I’d rather him than Nunez, edouard et al

Where is this availability signalling you speak of?

 

[Wellesley]

He would be a fantastic signing for a #TeamLikeBrighton. I can't see it but it would be extremely exciting if he did. We'd be genuine top 10 contenders in my opinion.

Saw it on Twitter u don’t need to be itk to know that Lampard don’t really want him as he’s bringing in strikers
