Okay, so what is the official verdict here? Like didn't the official transfer ban itself end in September and what about the clause in RFEF that allows teams to register players in the case of a long term injury? Like legally speaking, I get their claim with Arda because he was a player from another club who we got this summer and technically speaking, don't have full rights over yet. But, at least to my understanding and please correct me if I am wrong, Alen's situation is different since he is already registered to the club and is merely being loaned.
I don't think it would be fair for FIFA to tell us we can't recall a player we have already registered to the team. I think its at least worth a shot, I'd try everything in a situation like this, the worst case is litigation fees and they say no, oh well. But legally, I think we have a much stronger case to make in replacing Rafinha with Halilovic instead of Turan.
