MaVilla Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Archer to Southampton deal being investigated by FIFA. Apparently as it "looks like" a bridge transfer, which says a player cannot be transferred in, then transferred out within 16 weeks unless there is an adequate explanation. Hopefully its a bit of a nothing story, as its pretty Clear why we sold him on, because we had to buy him back with a mandatory clause, and we didnt want to keep him, so sold him on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge transfers are an assumed wrong, which you have to prove innocence on. We can easily do that as the transfer is a result of contractual obligation and our still wanting to sell the player. There's no dodgy element that makes 'a bridge transfer' a thing between the clubs, so it's nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 18 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18 Nothing story. Equivalent to reporting the sun rising as a scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a non issue, just a formality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job we have a totally adequate explanation then isn't it. Nothing story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted Saturday at 13:16 VT Supporter Share Posted Saturday at 13:16 I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so petrified to be taking a penalty. Most obvious miss I’ve ever seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Villain Posted Saturday at 21:50 Share Posted Saturday at 21:50 Gutted for the kid. Ive lived in the New Forest since 1996 so I have a soft spot for the Saints… I was really hoping he would shrug off the Sheffield United blues from last season and show what he could do… Hope this doesn’t rattle his confidence too much… Lallana should have taken that penalty really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted Sunday at 07:26 Share Posted Sunday at 07:26 Sounds harsh to say this but did we get sell him permanently this time? He isn’t a premier league striker so I don’t see any point him returning when saints are relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
