Transfer Discussion Thread

[Zidane98]

Isn't that a good thing for nix? Got a fee for him when they normally wouldn't.

They wouldn't have let him join Auckland at all.


Interestingly enough there's a rule change before the APL board about the "Caceres rule" which says any A-league player sold cannot be loaned back to the A-League within 2 transfer windows of the deal being done to a related club.

Seems the only beneficiaries of that rule are mutli club owner groups. Auckland FC have announced the signing but if the rule change isn't voted through the transfer can't go ahead.

I think they are probably a bit buthurt he's getting loaned to their rival.

Should have included a loan clause.

When did the Bournemouth owner buy Auckland? seems like a naive oversight on their behalf.

Current rules state that a player cannot be loaned back to an A-League club related to the club who purchased the player. That's the "Caceres rule".

Right at this very moment there is a proposal to change that rule before the APL shareholders removing that restriction. Would love to be a fly on the wall for the meeting / shareholder vote on that one.

They're a new club.

Yeah I knew that, was more wondering when it was confirmed the Bournemouth owner was the backer and how that related to the transfer discussions with Bournemouth and the Phoenix.

Seems stupid. Should just allow transfer fees between clubs. No idea why it isn't allowed.

I agree.

Should have just been covered in Phoenix's due diligence.

A clause if he's ever to be loaned back to the A-League, it's to them.

I agree in principal although that would make things very easy for Abu Dhabi backed Melbourne City.


In any case I doubt Wellington would have sold their star keeper to newly formed rival Auckland anyway.

It was covered in their due diligence. Current rules don't allow this to happen (must wait 2 windows).

A rule change removing that restriction is before APL shareholders right now. Phoenix are within their rights to be pissed because if that restriction had been removed they would have insisted on a clause that the player can't join Auckland or any other A-League club for that matter.

Would it? They'd pay fees to other clubs who could then use that income to run their club. Money staying in aus.

Fine, an adjustment based on the current rules:

- Any loan for the duration of the players contract with XXX to the A-League is to be to the Wellington Phoenix, with no loan to a rival organization within the same competition to be completed within 2 years of the date of transfer.

Would have required him being loaned to Belgium, Holland, Championship/L1/SPL etc.

This is on the Phoenix imo. If you don't want to get ****ed over, insist on the correct terms when you have the leverage.

Once again, the current rules as they stand do not allow for this loan transfer to happen.

chelsea need a transfer ban for their own benefit.

Isn't there limits on how many players you can loan out nowadays?

Don't think that ended up being a thing despite talk of it during COVID.

6 is this seasons limit. Under 21s or Club Trained are exempt.

We are going to make a few sales before the window closes.

Yep. We need to be stopped.

FootMob saying Tottenham have agreed terms with the Cherries for Solanke.

Honestly I think this is a great deal for us as last year IMO was an outlier for Dom in terms of goals scored.

Not losing too much sleep over this one yet and plenty of time to bring in a replacement

i reckon he'll be good for spurs but 60mil is great business for bournemouth

Absolutely it is.

Liverpool get a drink out of it too but this time last year I’d have sold him for £30,000,000 and thought we’d have made out like bandits.

To double it a year later?

Not sad.
