Eddie Johnson back at Fulham--guess who got some PT?

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Yes its midnight CET so your correct it would be 6pm ET.

I hope this works out! Come on Aris and Fulham! Hopefully second time is a charm!

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

That's what Marca says, but ESPN/soccernet (focused on the UK) is acting as if it just ended -- could it be league dependent?

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Well the deadline ended 15 minutes ago. But the player may have already signed, the announcement can be made anytime.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

SoccerNet told me the deadline in England was 6 PM BST, while the European deadline was 2300 BST. Then again, Kalamaria just answered my question.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Wow the deadline has passed already?

Edit: Nevermind I understand now.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

That makes sense. Spaniards like to work late.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

According to this site Eddie agreed with Aris and he will be our last transfer. Lets wait though for some announcement.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

This one of those times where it's good to be the guy who doesn't have to know the minute it happens. Fine to read about it tomorrow after the facts have sorted themselves out.

But good luck to all those out there who are wired differently!

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

EJ might be back at Aris. It's not completely sure and I don't know how good the source is. The transfer window just closed. More info in a bit...

EDIT: Kalamaria was faster

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Damn...

It seems that we were really close but it didn't go through. I'll let you know for any details later...

This site says that Aris tried to get him on loan but without success.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Or those who have not much to do at work today.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

I really wish he could have gone to QPR... IMO the Greek leagues are a minor step up from the MLS

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

So the European window is closed shut? Not even loans. Damn this sucks.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

We can only sign free agents now. And I know Fulham is not going to let him go for free.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Only players that are without contract since 30/6.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

It seems that we agreed with Fulham and Johnson, but his manager screwed it up...

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Nice...now EJ is on a team that doesn't want him.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Why didn't Fulham let him go if they didn't want him? It seems odd that they didn't let him go, it might mean that Fulham's not bringing in any forwards

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Well, they did bring in a highly touted 19 year old F from Liverpool today (Lauri Dalla Valle).

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

No, we agreed with Fulham and he was coming on loan, but his manager demanded more money and that's when the negotiations fell through.

Apparently, the Greek soccer federation extended the transfer deadline untill 24:00 greek time. Can't see anything happening though.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Does his Manager mean his agent or the team Manager?

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Yes by manager I mean his agent.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

That's odd, because doesn't a loan still pay out on the contract that he is signed for with the loaning team? It's just a matter of how much is paid by the loaning team and the team getting the loaned player.

How can an agent squash a loan deal because of money? I am really confused now.

 

Re: Eddie Johnson back at Fulham

Agents get paid too for every transfer/loan deal.
