stephen_nufc Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 why does it come up as £9m when we signed him for free? if that means my transfer budget was reduced by £9m im not happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Did you really sign him for free? That's a good piece of business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy38 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Are you looking at his value? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_nufc Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah he invoked that new fifa rule and brought out his contract, and technically he therefore cost us nothing. I think the rule has been labelled the "webster ruling" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster_ruling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_nufc Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Are you looking at his value? no im not looking at his value, it says on his history tab we paid £9m, just thought that SI should change that in the next patch and give us £9m more funds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denby Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 "Argentina international Jonas Gutierrez was Newcastle United's first signing in the 2008 close season. The right-sided attacker joined the Magpies from Spanish outfit RCD Mallorca on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee." http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/PlayerProfiles/0,,10278~38404,00.html Turns out Newcastle bought him. He didnt use the webster clause. The dudes at SI just make a judgement thats all. It wont affect your in game transfer budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that original amount was turned down, Gutierrez walked in to the directors and dropped the cash to buy out the remaining two years after being there for three years " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denby Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Indeed. But states from Newcastles point of view that they have paid a fee. I hardly feel that Ashley would be the type of guy to be worried to let people know that he has spent money or not, and im sure if it was on a free then the club would no doubt let people know that. They will have paid something tbh, because had he actually tested the webster clause, you would have heard a hell of alot more about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_nufc Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 is wikipedia good enough,..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon%C3%A1s_Guti%C3%A9rrez "On July 1, 2008, Gutiérrez unilaterally rescinded his contract with the Spanish side, after invoking FIFA's Article 17 (commonly known as the Webster ruling). As a result, the club was thought to be investigating a €15 million compensation claim against the player and his new club" although to be fair that statement has no citation.....:o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_nufc Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 well its a fact that he brought out his contract, and its a fact mallorca have openly stated this and how they want compensation, so im guessing either we payed them something outside of the courts, or they are still pursuing a "fee" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 19, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2008 Doesn't make any difference to the amount of money Newcastle have to spend at the start of the game just because it says that amount in the players history.

buzzing_hornet Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 well its a fact that he brought out his contract No it's not, the only official word we've had on anything is that Newcastle paid an undisclosed fee for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denby Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Just caught up on SSN site, and that confirms that not only did Newcastle agree and settle at an £8million fee after Jonas made himself a free agent, they also paid an initial fee to Mallorca when the transfer went thru. The likelyhood being that would all add up to 9million, therefore the transfer value history. Keep in mind i had to trawl through the web to find that info... not wikipedia heh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
