    I didn't know the best place to post this I'm not too sure on the answer.

    I've just read that Lesta made a £22M signing and missed the deadline by 14 seconds and he isn't eligible to play for them until January. Question... Is he a Lesta player at the moment or is he still registered with his previous club and could they call on him to play for them?

    But how can he be a Leicester player? He wasn't signed on time.

    Well he is. He just can't play for them. Like I said it's mental.

    Maybe something to do with registration?

    He was signed, they just couldn't register him in the 25 in time.

    So presumably you could sign a player say a month before the window opens then, so you owned them, but just not play them until the window opens and you register them then?

    Here you go...

    https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/...s/leicester-city-adrien-silva-fifa-436035.amp

    Leicester City's attempts to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva are in doubt after Fifa rejected the club's application to register the Portugal international.

    Football's governing body turned down Leicester's request because their application was 14 seconds after last week's deadline.

    In what has become an extraordinary tale of red-tape and bureaucracy, here we have tried to break down the complications as simply as we can and let you know what we know so far.
    Before we get into what went wrong for Leicester, here is how it should have worked, according to Fifa's own regulations.

    The stages of an international transfer
    1. Leicester City and Sporting Lisbon agree to the transfer of Adrien Silva.
    2. Leicester and Sporting then enter the details and documents for the transfer into Fifa’s Transfer Matching System (TMS). All the information must match.
    3. When the details are matched, the FA is notified on the TMS. This must happen before the deadline.
    4. The FA then apply for an International Transfer Certificate (ITC), through Fifa, to the Portuguese FA. This can happen after the deadline.
    5. The Portuguese FA will then ask Sporting and Silva to confirm that the early termination of his contract has been mutually agreed. Once that is done, they will accept the ITC.
    6. The FA receive the ITC and then enter and confirm the registration date into the TMS. Only then is Silva eligible to play for Leicester.
    Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

    So, what did go wrong?
    Leicester applied for a two-hour deadline until 1am to complete to deal to bring Silva to the club.

    City are adamant they filed their final documents before the deadline, however the FA did not receive notification of the transfer until 14 seconds after the deadline.

    One o’clock…and 14 seconds.

    When the FA asked Fifa to request an International Transfer Certificate from the Portuguese FA, they were told that they were too late.

    Fourteen seconds too late

    Even though Leicester are adamant they completed the paperwork before the deadline, it is the time that the FA received it that counts. This is time-stamped electronically, for those asking whether the relevant person at the FA was on a tea break at the time.

    Leicester are understood to have the support of the FA in trying to find a solution, and both have already worked together in asking Fifa if they are willing to change their minds. It was only 14 seconds after all. Not 14 minutes, or an hour.

    However, Fifa have reiterated their stance that rules are rules, late is late.

    Leicester City consider options after Fifa reject Adrien Silva move for being 14 seconds late

    The ball, then, is now in Leicester’s court and it is up to them how they wish to appeal the decision.

    Leicester are believed to be considering their options for appeal, but are still hopeful of being able to resolve the situation.

    It remains to be seen what avenue they take, but they could argue that all their paperwork was done and sent before the deadline, and that there was just a slight delay, of just 14 seconds, in it being received on the system by the FA.

    Who will Silva play for?
    That is another question that still needs to be answered. There have been reports that, even if Fifa do not change their mind, Silva will remain at Leicester but cannot play until January, when he can be re-registered.

    The Sporting president said today that: "The transfer is done. What is at stake is the registration and I hope they can register."

    However, the Mercury understands that Leicester maintain that the £22million deal to bring Silva to the club will not go through if the decision stands.

    This could end up being the second transfer window in which Silva’s desired move to Leicester breaks down.

    Silva thought he was coming in January only for Sporting to block the move at the last minute.

    He obviously went to the same school as my wife's old boss's son in Eastbourne. Used to buy cars, range rovers, continental GT, Lambo Gallardo and then get them gold plated. Proper chav tastic.

    This one looks understated.

    Yeah absolutely. You can agree fees and deals for players, they just can't be registered until the opening of the transfer window.

    Of course you can, it just depends how much you are willing to 'donate'.
