2016 Summer Transfer Thread

[Beefy]

I would imagine if players were released pre 11pm on Wednesday then there is already something in the offing for them, otherwise why bother? They would be better off staying, getting paid, keeping fit and hope for a move in January.

They still get the money. "Mutual consent" usually means that they have had their contract paid up and it is better for all parties to cancel the contract rather than have them sloping around the training ground for the next four months with no chance of kicking a ball.

See Dextor Blackstock been released from Forest worth a punt?

Possible he can't be signed till January depending when the paperwork was done.

Chesterfield fans aren't sad to see him go on their forum, general consensus seems to be that whilst he managed 10 goals last season he's lazy and a waste of space. Gven our subpar midfield he doesn't sound like the kind of player that would be an improvement on Mooney to me.

There was a comment on twitter, with one of the Chesterfield fans offering to drive him down to Essex, say it all...

Depends on whether he was released before or after the transfer window closed, the FA ruling states the following:

Clubs in the Football League can sign players on loan outside of the transfer windows, following a seven-day period after the transfer window closes.
Outside of the transfer windows, any club may still sign players on an emergency basis (such as if they had no goalkeepers available) with the permission of their competition's governing body, ie the Premier League.
Players who are out of contract and do not have a club, can be signed outside of the transfer window if they are unattached free agents when the window closes.

Dean Cox has also been released , but looks like he's going to the Cobblers

No....he was released by O's -does that mean we could get him?AFTER he had refused to move to Northampton(for half a million).

There's not a cat-in-hell's chance Northampton offered £500k for Cox! :hilarious:

Eubank is lazy is he .But how many times in a game does he stray off side not as many as moonie I bet

Simply the best if you ask me

According to the FA rules, he's going to be a redundant Cox until the Jan 17 window opens again

Maybe he needs the time off to decorate the spare room? Maybe he plans to go inter-railing or something? Good luck to him I say even if he did play for Orient.

Can only play conference and below according to his Twitter. He seems very blunt and honest on there and has already mentioned giving a coach at I believe whitehawkes a call to keep himself busy. Then in January I can see a lower half championship club having a punt on him,m

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

AFC Wimbledon have today signed Chris Robertzon after he left Ross County on Wednesday, subject to international clearance.

On this basis, and this is just a general question to the forum as a whole, how is Cox not allowed to go anywhere until Jan, but robertson can. can any one clarify please?

obviously I'm thinking "international clearance" is the difference, but it would be interesting to lnow.

Simple really- if you are a free agent when the window closes then you can go to another club at any time.
If you become a free agent after the window closes you must wait until the next window.
I am thinking it must be this way really- otherwise you could create transfers between windows by the 'selling' club cancelling the players contract and a new 'buying' club then signing the player up. Given how many transfers are frees anyway that would not be in issue. If this were allowed effective there would be no windows for free transfers.

This would appear to be eminently challengeable in the Court of Human Rights or by a Bosman type case.

I don't know... I think you can still be contracted and paid but simply not registered to play.

Any player can be signed, they just can't be registered until the window re-opens. I'm not sure in what grounds that could be challenged.

Can't perform his work if he's not registered. Restraint of trade.

 

[kentblues]

But then you would argue the transfer windows themselves are a restraint of trade by not allow a player to change jobs between windows. The point is contract run between the windows. So you should only come out of contract in a window. Then you can sign at any time even if its outside a window.

Dean Cox's contract was ended outside the window but that won't of been when it was up. So his claim is against Orient to pay his contract up. it can't be up before the next window so he will definitely be paid. Orient doing this just means he can't play until the the next window.
