No you said British based players the club have signed and Murphy was signed from a British club you never stipulated that this assessment was post takeover and you've just proved my point by admitting that not all signings from British clubs have been dross....

Anthony Gordon
Dan Burn
Tino Livramento
Lewis Hall
Harvey Barnes
Jacob Murphy
Nick Pope

All British based players we have signed who by your reckoning have been dross.....

The solution is simple....
Just follow the same rules as Rugby, a player takes a blow to the head they go sit in the dressing room for 15 mins to be assessed for a concussion and a substitute goes on the field, if they pass the assessment they return to the field and if they fail the sub remains.

Press Conferences for European games are usually about 3pm or 6pm depending on what time you kick-off the following day.

Was just having a play and this is the result... #NUFC #BDB

Guessing those Man City sponsorship deals are now fair market value....

If a player unilaterally invokes Article 17 then the player has to pay compensation to the club, which would include buying out the remainder of their contract and any monies a club could realistically have earned from the player being at the club image rights, shirt sales etc. A bit of a deterrent.

You can file an intention to buy with the FA before the deadline and finish the paperwork after 7pm. There's always a loophole.

Probably waiting on the work permit being issued before announcing it at 18:55 on monday.

Odds are he won't, he's probably going to need a work permit.

I'm not sure Isak will be sold, Wolves adamant that Strand-Larson is not for sale in this window and Keith Andrews saying he expects Wissa to still be a Brentford player after monday.

Chelsea can sign players and loan them to Strasbourg without any problems, it only becomes an issue if Strasbourg sign players and then loan them to Chelsea.

You can only invoke Article 17 if there has been a breach of contract and a club is withholding the international clearance of a player stopping them from moving to another country. Neither of these is the case in the Isak situation.

True....

But do you not think that as Isak is so desperate to join Liverpool and all he had to do for that to happen was to buy out his contract he wouldn't have already done that and joined Liverpool.

No he can't, you can only buy out your contract when there is only one year remaining on it. Otherwise a player could pay his contract up and then a club could reimburse the player that money as a signing on fee as they wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee.

Wasn't registration deadline yesterday because there is a game tonight....

It's like Chinese whispers whatever the message started out as it's not the same as what it finishes up as.

A thought came to me about this today, if you tell your club last summer that this will be your last season and you reiterate this at the end of the season, why do you go to Austria on the preseason training camp with the team you want to leave and only withdraw your labour once back in Britain.

Can i just point out it was a team bonding event which NUFC have on a regular basis. So why would you invite a player who doesn't want to be part of the team.

It's made public because when all the press hanging around the training ground next week see Isak training away from the group they'll know why instead of creating speculative headlines.

Because it is weird, when Liverpool approached Newcastle they said they were prepared to pay £120m and then when they submit an official bid it's for less than that.

Because they've written that they "breached unwritten ethical boundaries" proves it's rubbish, as it is a Premier League rule that you can't approach a player or their representatives without the permission of the club they are contracted to.

PSR wasn't brought in to stop us it was already here before we were taken over, Associated Party Transactions was what was brought in to stop us so we couldn't sign large sponsorship deals with Saudi companies so we could spend money without worrying about failing PSR.

The fact is if NUFC don't receive an acceptable offer then they have the right to refuse to sell him and come next summer there could be competition for Isak's signature, Lewandowski leaving Barcelona at the end of next season for example. There are risks for all sides in this situation

That used to be the case but they changed the rules, if a player already has a work permit you don't need to apply for a new one if they change clubs.

As by all accounts we aren't in PSR trouble and the year we lost £77m is due to be gone after this financial year it might be an idea to wait to see how Man City's APT case goes, if they are found to still be anti-competitive they might have to be scrapped.

They haven't been punished yet, but the consensus is they will only receive a fine. Which as you said is the usual soft UEFA punishment.

Clubs thought the same thing with the Premier League and PSR till they started taking points off clubs. There might come a time when UEFA decide to make an example of someone.

The problem with that is UEFA doesn't allow you to sell things to yourself, so if you qualify for a European competition you will fail UEFA's sustainability rules.

He still has to pass the Premier League's Fit and Proper owners test to complete the deal and if you look at the Jets it might raise some doubt.
