CONFIRMED Cameron Archer signs for the Blades - 4 year contract

[BrisBlade]

Could be the next Brewster. Hope not.

Or the next TC or Ili. Hope so.

 

[Panasonicgeese]

Or the deal is done and we will get a Hamer(esque) type announcement later

 

[Nah den]

Or the next TC or Ili. Hope so.

That would be nice.

 

[Nah den]

I could get run over by a bus tomorrow, hope not.

Me too.

It's almost like theres a whole host of utter bollocks and speculation spoken and perpetuated

Foxy sitting in the thread, ready to change the title. I know his game

Hey. You're the master facilitator

 

[Foxy]

Hey. You're the master facilitator

I meant elsewhere, but come to think of it...

 

[Danetheblade]

Think again...

Things ya love to see!

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Is it just me or is this rule about not liveblogging the press conferences fucking ridiculous in this day and age? Had hoped it was just an EFL thing and we'd be rid of it this season

 

[BladeInIreland]

My guess is they are taking a long time to look over this bizarre deal before giving approval. However since we had our end done well in time he will be allowed to play against Manchester city.

 

[Harry's Game]

I could get run over by a bus tomorrow, hope not.

not with the state of the local bus services around here, more chance being hit by a meteorite

Contractual situation sounds very iffy if Archer is having to sign two contracts with two clubs.
Hope United have looked very closely at the rules as we are one club who should be very aware of the problems these sort of things bring.

You are right but end of day as long as we don't lie about anything the mud sticks with the EPL sign off

Feels like the sort of thing that's got potential to bring a lot of trouble to our door.
He would essentially be contracted to two clubs at the same time, both playing in the same division.

No he wouldn't
The villa contract only becomes active if a certain criteria is met. He is only under contract with one club.

 

[TopBoy]

I thought McBurnie was helping negotiate with Villa

McB got somebody in a headlock.

 

[JayGreen17]

I keep going away from the forum for a few hours hoping that when I return it’s all done….. done this 6 times now… what the hell is going on

I'd be a liar if I said I'm not a little uneasy about this type of deal but a loan deal isn't that different in terms of having a foot in both camps.

I'm just hoping the PL are ultimately responsible by signing it off rather than us/Villa.

Exactly. You can't see a problem with that?
It's two clubs in the same division and he would have actually signed contracts with both of them.

People getting impatient. Usual panic. Over analysis.

A loan is just that though, not the same as what seems to be being proposed here.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Osula / Traore it is again then

 

[NerdyBlade]

No Archer this weekend then, but McBurnie is fit - Drop Osula to the bench and play McBenie (Yes I am coining that) with Osula on later?

 

[PrestwichBlade]

The deadline was midday TODAY!!!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Exactly. You can't see a problem with that?

There is no problem with it. All he has to sign is conformation of the terms he'd be agreeing to if the buy back was needed.
The contract with Villa is not an active contract.

 

[Davalon]

I agree it seems unorthodox but the concern for some appears to be around Archer having a conflict of interest.

The same can be said of loans with options or obligations to buy.

 

[NerdyBlade]

EL ACCOUNTO LIED! I AM SHOCKED

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

What if we get relegated because Archer is properly rubbish? Why would Villa be obligated to buy him then?

No

 

[SufcBilly]

No

Yes they would
