Arda Turan

[Stric]

Not that it would make any sense, but I think they would sooner let us register a player if it was someone completely new, and not Turan.

Depends on how you look at it really. What this should be is allowing us to register a player before the January transfer window, due to injury circumstances, and in that case, it would be logical for them to allow it. But I'm afraid it will be seen as allowing us to register a player after the summer transfer window. Because it's Turan, and because it's only September.

Also, keep in mind that players like Turan wouldn't have been available for sale mid-season, so allowing us to register him now after buying him in the summer window would be screwing with the system.

The way I see it, and I assume how FIFA will see it is like this. Yes, the ban was only for two windows, which has now passed. However, Turan and Vidal were added during that two-window ban, and cannot be registered because of it.

Allowing us to register either would not fit with that ruling.

The two processes of signing a player for the club and registering a player for a competition has no relation what so ever, so I can't follow that logic of yours at all.

Honestly, just having a members card doesn't prove anything to me.
He might as well be every club's high member just for the club's sake of maintaining relations with FIFA.

Well, he's not. Only rm's. You can search and you won't find any other club he's a member of. And if you look at his Twitter account, you'll see some tweets about being a rm soci. And how he's a rm fan since he was a kid.

That quote about Messi and cr is what prompted he re-opening of bdor votes back then. It could very well been done with that purpose.

That may be. However you asked for proof of membership, and there you are.

Thanks for the elaboration. Makes sense then.

[Sea_of_Frost]

We might as well bribe FIFA at this point.
