The will the EPL ratify Van Der Vaart's Transfer Discussion Thread

[Flightrisker]

Crouch's first touch is very poor, at least Pav is capable of having a decent first touch, the problem is that he's very hit and miss with it.

This is the least correct thing I have read on this forum.

If anything its the completely opposite, if you watched the first leg of the Young Boys tie, Pav's first touch was awful.

They're prob saying:

"Alright Daniel, you can have VDV, but as soon as the Sun forces us to sack Capello, we're having 'Arry."

Has to be before 5pm as the 25 man squad needs to be in to the FA

If we get it in at 5:10 we can blame the premier league.

 

[mattstev2000]

What planet are you on? Crouch has excellent control, always has. Its just that he has the turning circle of an articulated lorry.

Just as 'very poor' was an understatement I think 'excellent' might be an overstatement.

Good touch for a big lad about sums it up.

Ballsacks, I have work to do do the fucking FA not appreciate this?

The Premier League and the Football Association are different autonymous bodies. By all accounts the top brass at either can't stand each other.

Good point, what if our 25-man squad isn't in by 5pm? Do we have to play with no players? Or will it be like a tombola where the FA pick our squad by pulling raffle tickets from an ice cream tub?

City are probably assembing their legal team right now - like a pack of vulchers - getting ready to scrutinise the PL's decision or at least put pressure on them!!mg:

You wouldn't put it past them!

Still no eye-deer

Other than VdV I'd have thought our squad picks itself doesn't it?

Don't want this to become a 'name our 25' thread but we can't have that many more than 24 21+ year olds.

Absolutely but even so, I don't think the PL can just assume, hence us having to formally submit our squad.

Are there any sanctions if we choose not to submit it by 5pm?

I'd be very surprised if any team made a challenge. Never know when they might need a bit of leeway themselves. Every window has one of these 'late' deals and, let's face it, there's a better than even chance that Man City will be involved in one before long given they're responsible for approximately 73% of all Premier League transfers these days.

 

[Flightrisker]

VDV sure sounds like he thinks he has signed

"It's a pity I cannot now play against Ajax in the Champions League but I will get to face FC Twente."


"Four years at Spurs, for €11 million, I can hardly believe it myself," Van der Vaart told De Telegraaf. "

"I am excited about playing in England. Whether it suits my style remains to be seen, but I think a good footballer can adapt and I am very proud of this transfer."

The PL arent dumb and they know we need to know by 5pm whether VDV is ours or not to make a decision on our 25 players. Therefore i fully expect a decision soonish...cant say im confident but there ya go.

It was a bit of tonuge and cheek - I wouldn't seriously expect them to challenge anything as they dont have the information at hand - and nor are they entitled to it.

But by God they love their new formed power!!

Be suprised if the FA or premier legaue did'nt appreicate the value a player like VDV would bring to the premiership, so on that grounds i would hope that any late submission could be overlooked for that reason.
