    So, if the player was a free agent before the window opened, and was still a free agent when that window closed, he couldn't play for a club until the next window opened, furthermore, if a player and a club mutually agree to terminate the players contract outwith a transfer window, that, that player will not be able to play for another club until the next transfer window opens? If that's what's being said then again, I have to disagree.
    doesnt matter how many times you disagree, thats how it works, a player can be signed anytime a club wants but cant be registered until the next transfer window

    It is the reason you see players released on the last day of the window.

    If a player is not registered with a club at the close of the transfer window, they can register with a club out with the transfer window.

    If a player is registered with a club at the close of the transfer window, and released after this, they cannot be registered with a second club during the"inter-window".
    Doesn't make sense to me, it prevents a person working and that can't be right!

    So .........

    * He was poor with Hearts
    * He got dumped by his present club
    * He has a known attitude problem
    * He says clearly he does not want to play in Scotland and his style does not fit our football
    * He is not available to play until the next window

    WHERE DO WE SIGN? - Sounds ideal!!!

    It is right, because generally players & clubs break contracts by mutual agreement. If a player doesn't have another club to go to then he will ordinarily be paid, at least in part, for the remainder of his contract. For example, this could be the equivalent of his basic wage (or a good percentage of it), without bonus or appearance money.

    Check my earlier reply to you. That pretty much clarifies everything you need to know.

    Why do you think Stokes and Matulevicius were released before February 1st? It certainly wasn't for our benefit.

    They would be able to negotiate their release with their club though, so you would hope that the fact that they aren't able to find a club until the Summer would result in either:

    1. Their club keeping them on until the Summer, or
    2. Their negotiated payoff being higher due to the fact that they can't be paid by another team until the Summer

    I seem to remember some players being able to get around this rule by registering with a new club as an amateur a few years back, I imagine those players' expenses may be quite substantial...

    We'd be replacing Anthony Stokes with... Anthony Stokes, but ****.

    Are yout saying that players can only sign and play for a club if they sign for that club within a transfer window, and that any player who does not have a club/contract when a transfer window closes can sign for a club, but can't play for that club until the next transfer window? If that's what your saying, then I have to disagree with you. Surely that would be viewed as restriction of trade. In my opinion Tony Watt, being a free agent will be able to sign and play for any club that wants to sign him.
    No, I'm saying if you want to play for a different club outwith the transfer window you need to be a free agent at the point the previous window closed (meaning the window of the country of the club you are signing for). There's a few exceptions, e.g. emergency loans.

    This is why clubs release loads of players in the final days of the January window as there would be no incentive for the player to go after that point if he wants to play.

    That's the case but in reality very few clubs would actually sign a player in that scenario. They would generally sign them on a pre-contract, similar to what we did with Johansson and Celtic were going to do with Riordan.

    As someone else said in this thread, it wouldn't surprise me if this was the next Bosman / Andy Webster style test case. I'm not sure the player would win though as the contract is usually broken mutually. It would have to be a scenario where a player was effectively sacked outwith of the window, e.g. if the Portugal incident had happened in February and we then sacked Stokes.

    If it was allowed though then you'd effectively have no transfer windows (or one ongoing one).

    True but I don’t think the courts would be too bothered about that.
