Nick May?

i know nick and he has not singed for estudiantes he is back in america playing for florida rush. Someone has over reacted with his story.He went to estudiantes for odp and came back later for a 4 week camp(which he paid for) along with 3 other florida odp players. Estudiantes never offered him a contract, not even a trial. He then thought he could make it in england. He went to qpr for a month but was sent back after a week( i am assuming they didnt want him) HIs reason for being back was because of the paper work but hewill not be going back. he doesnt even start on his club team and other then being physicaly huge he is no use to the usmnt

 

One article says he is 17 so legally he wouldn't be able to sign a deal and move abroad until he turns 18 hence why he is back in Florida.

 

in england you can sign at 17

 

actually you can sign at any age he just wont get recieve money til he's 18

 

No FIFA bans the international transfer of children under the age of 18. He wouldn't be able to sign/move abroad until his 18th birthday, its the same reason Luis Gil couldn't sign for Arsenal.

 

really then why did fabregas sign for arsenal at 17

 

i mean 16 "Cesc nevertheless made his debut for Arsenal not long after, on 23 October 2003, in a League Cup tie at home to Rotherham United. In doing so he became Arsenal's youngest ever first team player, aged 16 years and 177 days"

 

Players moving from one EU country to another can move freely. Spain and England are both EU countries. Those players can move at 16.

Arsenal exploited the law because in Spain you can't sign a pro deal until your 18, Arsenal signed him because in England you can sign earlier.

then why did freddy adu get signed by benifica

 

I'm pretty sure he was 18. His birthday is in June and he signed in July 2007. He's an '89 so he would have been 18 for over a month.

 

Its obvious you do not have a large amount of knowledge regarding transfers, work permits, and the EU. You may want to do some research on this topic. It can be complicated but you can figure it out.

 

DNA tests proved he was 24

 

so anyways, this May kid is on the front page of yahoo.com. It's be pretty disappointing if that story was a lie, but hey at least, his agent is doing a damn good job. It'd be really bad if this kid managed to sign for Estudiantes with his agent fees going to a guy in England.

 

Yea, eve if this is BS... hell of a way to get your players name out there! Reminds me of that guy who got himself a tryout for CSKA Sofia, from just rumors and in relaity he sucked but was the king of PR lol. Anyone konw the story I am talking about?

 

no i havent heard of that story but it seems pretty similar to this

 

that's what Vincenzo Bernardo did.

 

Too bad it didnt pay off for him, I think he is back where he didnt want to be when he first left, the serie C or D now.

 

He's in Serie D which is the 5th level, Serie C has 2 levels C1 and C2.

 

I just re-read the quotes from the article. It seems pretty difficult to discern anything other than him signing a contract of some kind

 

Looks like this kid is going to play at North Florida.

From tryouts with QPR and a contract with Estudiantes to committing to North Florida? Eeeeeesh.
