Rumour on the web is that he's joining Standard Liege on loan and we have the option to buy after 2 years subject to the tribunal fee.
Can anyone confirm this? I know Levy has a reputation for business but this seems ridiculous?

Apparently we have a partnership or understanding with Standard Liege, so it may be a way of levy not paying any fee as if he came straight to us the fee for him would go to a tribunal, this way he goes aborad and comes to us as a free agent with no fee attached.

Haha as nice as this would be no it is not true.
We went to the tribunal and got unfairly hammered. We then pulled out of the deal.
Because of the way the tribunal happened we lost out but so do did united. United got there usual unbelievable decision against us this time it wasn't in a game though.
Fryers is gone but to be fair he didn't look all that. People suggest he was more of a centre back I certainly didn't see that potential in him.

I know what your referring to buddy I think that has ended now.
There was a link via David pleat (yes our 3 time manager) a friend of his was a youth coach at liege.
Pleat does some part time scouting for us well did up until this summer. He does not anymore.

May have dodged a bullet there.

There is no way a tribunal would have valued Fryers at £6million. United would have been lucky to get £1million.
