Silva Question ?

I can understand FIFA's position on this. If they perceive the documents are late then does it really matter whether it's 1 second, 14 seconds, 10 minutes or 3 weeks?

If we do find a solution/loophole to push this through then great but, I think as a minimum, FIFA should find a way to be able to let Silva train with the squad if he's our player. Outside of the legalities and rights of wrongs of the issue there is a player who has been left in limbo, in a World Cup year, through no fault of his own.

Yeah, I think everything necessary has been said in the various comments above. This isn't going to get around the issue. The best way looks like launching an appeal as best they can and, if that fails, just having to wait until January.

It doesn't help Silva in the short term of course. He's the one to feel sorry for in all this.

Having worked closely in employement law, preventing someone from working isn't generally accepted in any profession. It's a breach of human rights.

If this did go to court, he would eventually play for us. However, that could create a very bad relationship between the club, FA and FIFA.

I hate FIFA. Disgusting and self protecting organisation that care little for the good of the game.

Does anyone know whether the registration issue also stops Silva from playing for the Development Squad? Keeping him match sharp for the next three months is going to be really tough if he can't play in games at any level. UTF

I would imagine if he can't even train with the club he definitely can't play for the development team

Why on earth can't he train with us? Ridiculous rule.

Insurance reasons, YH. I'm not entirely sure of the details and consequences but apparently no registration means no insurance.

It must be down to Brexit.

Let's get David Davis on the case, or better still Boris!

There's a lot of speculation and pure guess work from fans on the internet, its time the club publicly clarified the facts on the issue

We need to negotiate a transitional period whereby Leicester have the advantages of playing Adrien Silva, whilst not actually playing Adrien Silva.
