Redslo Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 No Van Dijk in the Celtic squad tonight. I assume you can't play for 2 different teams in European competitions? He can play for us in the group stage even if he plays for them in the qualifying stages. Here is the official rule: As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for more than one club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally, however, a player who has been fielded in the first, second, third qualifying round or the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to play in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another club as from the group stage. Moreover, as from the start of the round of 16, a player can be registered in accordance with Paragraph 44.01 to Paragraph 44.04. A substitute player who has not been fielded is entitled to play for another club competing in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League in the course of the same season, provided that he is registered with the UEFA administration in accordance with the present regulations.

Saint_Ash Posted 17 July, 2015 Share Posted 17 July, 2015 I think he just noticed £49m in the bank. Do QPR get 20% of the Sterling fee? That's £9.8m, leaving Liverpool with £39.2m, less Benteke fee of £32.5m they now have £6.7m of the Sterling money left. Such a waste, can buy 3 very good players with that money but as per normal Brendan is lazy and throwing money around at so called big name players instead of looking for hidden gems.

Dan Johnson Posted 17 July, 2015 Share Posted 17 July, 2015 Fans often wrongly describe their club as a laughing stock when players leave, I think in Villas case after Delph publically committing last week only to move today it is probably justified! I'd hate to be a villa fan, how embarrassing! Delphs move must be linked to Benteke leaving, he must feel or even know they're lacking ambition, probably reluctant to reinvest that money! I think a takeover fell through earlier in the week too. That's a proper meltdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always be thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premier League. "As has been widely reported, I initially turned down the opportunity to join Manchester City. That decision was purely down to the love I have for Aston Villa and their great supporters. "When I was made captain of Villa it was a huge honour for me and I took the responsibility incredibly seriously. I signed a new contract last season with the view of staying at the club for the duration of the deal and never with the intention of leaving a year later. "My decision to stay initially was purely based on the emotion and feelings that I hold for the club and the people there rather than looking at the football opportunity that had been placed in front of me. "I have been immensely proud to captain such a great club and want to thank everyone at Aston Villa - most importantly the fans - for the amazing support they have shown me during my time there.
