Does this mean that suarez could have a pre contract.


A club may sign a pre-contract with a player while he is still with another club, by which the player agrees to move to the club at a future date, for example, after his contract with his current club expires.
Another situation may be where the current club is also a party to the pre-contract, and the transfer is conditional, for example, on a fee being agreed between the clubs or terms being agreed between the player and the new club, or the transfer is intended to take effect only after the player reaches a certain age.
The pre-contract is intended to prevent a third club from signing the player while details are still being negotiated or when the future date arrives.
As the player's registration remains with the current club, however, the existence of a pre-contract may be unknown to other clubs who wish to sign the player.

Hello Eds

CS here, just realised all the rumours I have posted in the last week none have appeared! My replies to others do but not my actual posts, is there any reason for this as they do not contravene any rules and are "good" posts if you will.

Thanks, good work with the site as usual guys

CS {Ed007's Note - I'm just on tidying up CS. Any posts I have dealt with from you have been fine mate. I can't speak for other Eds but I wouldn't have thought there would have been any problems going with what I have seen you post.}

Lol to the unbelievable clicker what does that even mean? Hehe

Big news in Madrid (and fairly common knowledge it would seem) Lassana Diarra has signed a pre-agreement to re-join us. Fee agreed dont know the details

Doesn't make much sense, unless wenger sold song, which he won't. Any sources?

IF this is true, which I have to say seems doubtful - then you have to wonder how good he will be for us. He was quick enough to move on, and must consider that move a failure if he comes back.

Personally I think this one seems very very unlikely.

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

I read an interview with him a while back about how he hated it here, he didn't enjoy arsene wenger's style of management, said he didnt talk to him enough

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure I would put my life on it but many people seem to know about it so its worth reporting on here

as a side note my personal view is that Song is much better going forward so him Jack and one other is the way forward, not sure Diarra is the other though

Spain Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think he moved due to lack of ability it was his poor attitude that was the problem so i cant see this happening

Since Monday, I've taken a vaca from Arsenal for a few days and its been great. Rejuvenates you for the 10 heart attacks coming up....

Hope the guys got a few days off and are good and fresh for the home stretch....

Arsenal...healthy....depth....finally

How long has it been since we had a damn healthy squad to finish the season? Unreal....it's literally been since the Invincible season...

Well I'm rejuvenated, hope all you gooners are, and I know the boys will be....coyg

Believable10 Unbelievable1

Pure class from USG :) Yes 10 heart attacks couldn't have described the run in more furtively than that!

I've taken to betting so it's actually way more than that - probably more like 10 heart attacks per 45mins NOT INCLUDING the one where you think Van Persie is injured... Lol

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

I kid you not when I say this...when my doctor asked me what could have brought about my acid reflex....I said Arsenal.

He had no idea how to respond other than write me a prescription...now 3 years later I still take Nexium

love this team...

As much as I love the thought of arsenal signing all these players on "pre- contracts" and the like, it doesn't/won't/CAN'T happen guys.

I see posts almost everyday about how we've pre-signed Mathias Suarez, I know for a fact we asked about him in January, but mainly as a price estimate if what I'm told is true.
But we haven't been enquiring since the end of the window, you'll find it's just journalists looking to stir/make a name.

At the end of the day guys I hate to be a killjoy but please stop posting these "pre-contract or pre-signing" rumours about players, all it does is serve to discredit you as a source

D

Believable4 Unbelievable4

From what i know and sources matias suarez is waiting for his belgium resisdency papers and thats it... but arsenal can withdraw to not signing him at any time...

real-goon {Ed002's Note - There is no deal regarding Suarez but there is interest from Arsenal amongst a number of clubs.}

Agree0 Disagree0

This is a rumours site mate, but I get where your coming from. To be fair, I don't know why ppl are thinking about summer signings, we still got a monster of a season to finish. Regarding my wish list tho, a holding midfielder over the age of 26 would be nice. Awesome site btw.

I have doubts about this pre contract business too.

Can you have a pre contract to a pre contract? How many pre pre contracts do you need before it is tapping up LOL what a joke!

Far as I am concerned it is all guesswork until Arsenal announce it!

Gotze I said I think we will sign but its guessing!

Podolski I don't see coming but again I have no real meaty sources it is guessing!

That is what a rumour site is for surely!

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

Think what people really mean is fee agreed, wages agreed. agreed to sign in summer like a gentlemens agreement, as pre contract is illegal and would result in transfer ban.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gentlemen in football?? Well that is news!

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

LOL @ ^^ so true! cough Nasri cough. This summer will certainly be an interesting one. Hopefully Arsene will sort the transfers early. Im hoping Gotze and Podolski are signed up before the Euros that way we get a good pre-season in unlike this year! Hazard as well if Arsenal are really looking to make a statement! =)

heard that arsenal maybe signing shay given

Believable2 Unbelievable32

Great Keeper but i can see him sitting on a bench. Scezney is quality now

Rob

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol nahhh no way we will sign him, Rob is right on the money no way a quality keeper with his calibre and experience would want to warm the bench for us!

Him or Schwarzer either one could be good as backup, but like I said I doubt that will happen

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

Wish they had signed him 6 years ago.

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

Never gonna happen. Furthermore why would we need him when we got Wojciech Szczęsny!

seems like arsenal have started talking to M'Vila about a possible transfer or regarding his situation... no way near a transfer but just updating u lot

real-goon {Ed002's Note - Inter Milan, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus have all shown a determined interest in M'Vila and perhaps PSG will become interested as well. If Arsenal are talking to M'Vila then that is tapping up and illegal. Unless something has changed since Wednesday evening, Rennes have certainly given no permission for any club to talk to the player but are expecting him to leave this summer.}

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Maybe talking to the club about a price for him?, from what i know arsenal do not do their business illegally so I am assuming their is some sort of legal talks being hold, the clubs involved? ofcourse...

and on top you are correct other clubs are interested and arsenal tlaking to the club/player does not mean we will sign him!

real-goon {Ed002's Note - So maybe folks need to be a little more careful about what is said. I spoke with someone from Rennes at the Chelsea game on Wednesday and it was clear no one was currently talking to Rennes about the player - but no doubt folks will have spoken with his agent.}

If RVP was to leave would Fernando Torres be a good replacement?

Believable11 Unbelievable37

In a word. No.

Can 0 goal Torres replace 33 goal Robin? LOOOL he was never ever even half the player and that's when he was playing well.

Still could find form but i'd never want him as the focal point supersub at best!

CS

Agree0 Disagree0

Different sort of player. Torres is more like RVN was ofr Man Utd, more of a poacher. He was deadly at Althletico and not too shabby when with the Hub Cap Nickers. RVP is a much more complete footballer though so not a replacement. Wouldn't mind him as a foil to RVP if we could get him for less than 15m.

Then I say we keep him and sell Chamakh.

Sydney Gooner

Does anyone think that this is what the club wanted/will he ever get a chance in the first team?

Bermy Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

I honestly think hes going to be bait for hazard....
dave.w

Agree0 Disagree0

How do you know?

Agree0 Disagree0

At the end of the day wenger has to go for top signings to keep the top players we have,and hes not going to spend big on older players and there wages!
so i think he will go for goetze,hazard,vertonghen,poldolski ans suarez,there all under 25 and the sell on value in 3 or 4 years will be huge..
kroenke needs the team to start winning trophies with all our sponsorship deals up in the next 2 years.
believe me or not! your going to see a huge investment in players in the summer with a lot of fringe players going out,,
for get about the so called 55 million war chest! wenger can spend up to 100 million and kroenke will stump up the rest
dave.w

Agree0 Disagree0

Bait for hazard because we stole him from under Lille's nose's last summer

Agree0 Disagree0

He might as well've gone and done his national service for all the use he's been here!

Agree0 Disagree0

We bought him for 1.8 mill and now with this news he will be worth around 5 mill in the market..good bitta buissness

Agree0 Disagree0

Had not heard this. I agree with you dave.w Park could be bait for hazard. I also think he was brought in to help Ryo settle into European life

Eds after Podolski who are we most likely to get or strongly linked to?

Sydney Gooner {Ed002's Note - It is impossible to say who is most likely to arrive at the Emirates. There is certainly interest in Suarez, Belhanda, Corgnet and Valbuena if they become available and Vertonghen. But keep in mind it is only March.}

Eds is there any truth to rumours about Real Madrid willing to sell Nuri Sahin?

Sydney Gooner {Ed002's Note - He has been out injured for much of this season but there may be a chance he will move on in the summer. In that case it will be either back to Germany or to Italy with Inter.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

16 Mar 2012 10:46:23
I've heard rumours that Real Madrid might let go of Nuri Sahin if that is the case I think we should get him in a heart beat. What do you guys think of the Turkish Cesc Fabregas?

Hi Ed..is ARSENE WENGER in for Montpellier's Younes Belhanda..the news was on The Sun.(in my opinion he is cheap and good but not experienced enough..what do you say..) {Ed002's Note - My understanding is that Arsenal would be interested in Belhanda should he become available.}
