One is that WC and the other isn’t.Not really sure how we can sign 21 year old Palestra for €60m which took a matter of days yet stalling on Lacroix.
Wait, never mind I've answered my own question.
Saibari, Grimaldo, Fernandes, Cucurella, Ramos, and Dumfries all signed whilst at the World Cup. We've been linked with Lacroix since January and been scouting him since he's been at Wolfsburg, under two different ownerships and working with a club we have a good relationship with. We've also agreed personal terms with Lacroix.One is that WC and the other isn’t.
But not agreed terms with Palace who potentially are in for £200k plus if he remains their player come the day of the WC final. Irrespective have any French WC players been given dispensation to conclude transfers ?Saibari, Grimaldo, Fernandes, Cucurella, Ramos, and Dumfries all signed whilst at the World Cup.

The hold up stinks.
Why would the French be exceptions but not players of other countries? And where are you seeing the bold?But not agreed terms with Palace who potentially are in for £200k plus if he remains their player come the day of the WC final.

Some countries, like England in the past, have refused to let players have medicals etc during the period they are in the competition.I was asking about the French because they may well be operating under such an embargoWhy would the French be exceptions but not players of other countries?

Didn't they also pay clubs for the CWC?Some countries, like England in the past, have refused to let players have medicals etc during the period they are in the competition.I was asking about the French because they may well be operating under such an embargo

As I said England in the past. Interesting fact is that whilst he has had a medical the two clubs won’t/ can’t complete the transfer till England exit the competitionDidn't they also pay clubs for the CWC?
EDIT. Elliot Anderson had his MC medical at the Cup.
Newcastle also splashing the cash, but I don’t think they learnt from last season. €50m for Bazoumana from Hoffenheim, and potentially £42m for Manzambi from Freiburg.What the f**k are Spurs doing this window???
Looks like post Levy that they realise you have to spend on good players if you want to try and get anywhere.What the f**k are Spurs doing this window???
