Wasn't there something a few years back that the deal was done, but the registration was not faxed through in time and therefore the deal was void and the player stayed where he was?

I still think FIFA will shaft us on this.
Are you thinking of Adrien Silva's transfer to Leicester?
Leicester had signed the player (in a hurry cos they'd sold Danny Drinkwater earlier in the day). However they were 14 seconds late in registering him with FIFA so couldnt play until the January window. He had to train with Leicester in the meantime.
