nullus Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hey guys, yeah I'm the Benfica fan. Anyway in my humble opinion your draw wasnt that bad, if there was a good time to face Sporting that time is now, we will see how they will be in February however, cause there is still some new players to hire, even though they shouldnt sign any expensive player because they dont have much money to buy new players. They had one of the easiest groups, so thats why they finished 1st. Their new coach isnt one with much european experience aswell. So in a normal day Everton will move forward to the next round, however do not make the mistake of underrate Sporting, they can still beat you, at this level there is always a greater motivation, so you need to be carefull with players like Moutinho, Vukcevic, Izmailov and Liedson... To be honest I couldnt care less about the result of this game, so I just want to wish that may the best team win, and good luck to you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed Lisbon the first time and come back for more, we will be here to properly welcome the Everton fans once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinwilliam399 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Heitinga can't be registered (if I'm reading the regulations correctly). If Atletico were still in the Champs league we'd have been OK but because they've dropped into the Europa we're stuffed. 18.07 Excluding the UEFA Super Cup, and subject to paragraph 18.18 below, a player may not play UEFA club competition matches for more than one competing club in the course of the same season. A substitute player who is not fielded is entitled to play for another club competing in the same season’s UEFA club competitions, provided that he is registered with the UEFA administration in accordance with the present regulations. 18.17 For all matches from the start of the round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registration must be completed by 1 February 2010 at the latest. This deadline cannot be extended. 18.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered provided that the player has not been fielded: in the same competition for another club, for another club that is currently in the same competition. Furthermore, if the player’s new club is playing in the UEFA Europa League, his former club must not have played in the UEFA Europa League at any point in the current season. The offending Champs League game... The rule states that he must not have played in the same competition for another club, he hasnt therefore is eligible. hope im right and you are wrong COYB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, if the player’s new club is playing in the UEFA Europa League, his former club must not have played in the UEFA Europa League at any point in the current season Aas i read it when you register the player, the club must not have already played in the same competition, which they havent. Im not a lawyer , but sure im right Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha nice one thats as bad(lol or as good depending on how you look at it) as when I took my missus on a late Valentines Day trip to Florence in March 2008 then tried to make out that I was pleasantly surprised to see that Everton just happened to have a game there the same week we were there!

ftaylor Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 If Atletico bow out in the first round then heitinga will not have played in the same competition with another club and will not have played for another team currently in the competition. Or will it be too late to register players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
