Yes and maybe cardiff lawyers are saying if we pay now then that could invalidate any later claim- such as thw transfer not being complete due to international clearance. I suppose that could give nantes the possibility of receiving the transfer money from us and then also being the ones to make the insurance claim.

I mean if he was still technically their player subject to international clearance then it's unlikely our insurers would be able to pay out would they?

I doubt any of us will ever get to know what happens anyway. How did this get into the media i wonder?
