We're not saying we have a case. The small French team is. Presumably they are miffed at getting no compensation from Montpelier or something. I'm guessing we had agreed to pay them a bit more once we signed the lad.
At the end of the day, we weren't allowed to sign him professionally so it's hardly a balls-up, unless people think we should be throwing huge riches at the parents of 14 year olds.
Given how many "prodigies" never make it, I say let's leave that to City and Chelsea.
