Zeki Fryers

The development compensating rule was brought in to protect smaller clubs from the likes of man utd so utd wanting £6m wasn't really in the spirit of the law anyway.

No we haven't officially done anything wrong, feel uncomfortable crossing Fergie though, no one ever seems to come out on top!

Alex Ferguson is an employee of a football club; nothing more, nothing less. He's a sports coach, not a billionaire power broker or corporate lawyer. He's just a glorified PE teacher, ffs, as are all footy managers. Get real.

he's also a ****. nice one danny, nice one.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

Dammit now fergie will never sell rooney or van pervert to us.

Gutted!

 

[Shanks]

This move just talks money to be honest.

6 mill we would have paid in compo for this youngster in the summer, now a smidgen of that to the Belgium club. It's a no lose situation.

If he develops into a decent left back, great - he's english, he's young - always worth money these young english players.

If he doesn't get that good, we'll make a profit on him.

 

[StartingPrice]

Let's get something straight - Fergie crossed us by publicly tapping our player up, hi-jacking him from the airport when his permission was to go and talk to Citeh, and then publicly laughing and ridiculing Dan Levy after his creatures in the FA refused to do anything even though it was blatantly obvious and Levy had detailed proof.

That is crossing someone.

How will we make profit on him if he turns out to be crap? If he is awful he will probably be loaned out for several seasons until his contract expires.

Sweet, sweet loan fees.

 

[Babylon22]

I don't like this. What if other clubs try this scam on our players?

Boss unhappy with Fryers move​

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his disappointment at Tottenham Hotspur's signing of his former defender Ezekiel Fryers.​

The youngster was out of contract at Manchester United and looked set to join Spurs last summer but the two clubs could not agree a compensation package. Instead, the left-back ended up at Standard Liege but moved to White Hart Lane as soon as the January window opened.​

The manager is urging the authorities to look into the matter as the Reds lost out on a sizeable fee for the defender but he accepts that Spurs' actions were not in breach of the current rules.​

"We expected that to be honest with you," he replied to MUTV, when asked about the Spurs deal. "How would you put it? To me, I think it's a blatant manipulation of the rules.​

"Tottenham did nothing wrong as he went to Standard Liege. They tried to buy him off us and we'd been looking for a certain figure. They wouldn't pay it but asked if they could take him down there on trial and, at that time, he was out of contract in June anyway.​

"So he went down on trial and he went to Portugal with them. They then said they weren't prepared to pay the money and, all of a sudden, he signed for Standard Liege.​

"We knew immediately and suspected that he would return to Tottenham in January and that's happened. It's a [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy deal. You know, it's his fingerprints all over it. It's the kind of thing we expected he was going to do."​

​

Sir Alex found it hard to hide his disappointment over the matter and clearly feels the whole situation has been unfair on United, who developed the youngster at Carrington.​

"There's nothing we can do about it but I think that really we should, first of all, register our discontent in it," he explained. "I think the league should look into it.​

"I think the registration should be stopped until they investigate it thoroughly. There's bound to be a trail, either mobile phones or e-mails, that could give you the full story of it.​

"I must say I'm disappointed in Tottenham. For whatever reason, a club that size has decided to go down this route. I'm disappointed."​

Ha, now that is funny.

it's not fair! Ha! As if he's never manipulated the rules when it comes to using Utd's superior financial power to take players off rival clubs.

 

[bomberH]

And that statement is on their official website.

Haha.

Fergie really dislikes Levy doesn't he? Getting 48m for Berba & Carrick is probably part of the reason.

 

[danielneeds]

Fergie does have a cheek, given all the bullying he has done over the years.

Having said that, I don't like this deal, it breaks the spirit of the rules that clubs are entitled to cash for developing players. Just because United are rich doesn't mean they should not be reimbursed. Would anyone be chuffed if we had pulled a deal like this on a club like Crewe?

They did ask for a ridiculous amount. £6m for an unproven LB? If it was a fair price (£2/3m then I think we probably would have done it).

The rule's in place to prevent big teams poaching small teams young talent, so in summary - Fuck United.

Yeah, this.

 

[archiewasking]

Sour grapes from the man who was pictured in Manchester talking to Berba on deadline day when they hadn't either had a bid accepted or permission to talk him???!!!

Sit down, shut up, say I.
