If he's on a driving ban I reckon a great potential link up with Church. He can be Powell's driver...

He can't put his foot down though.

True but very soft on the brakes Greenie...

Where is Athletico? Another awful day on this thread...

Interesting tweet

John Chapman ‏@belgofoot · 40m
Question for FIFA rules experts: Talk of Ezekiel being loaned to European club! How? For Qatari nationality, he must live there for 5 years?


Wonder if RD has put in a clause in his sale to loan him to us?

hudson-son-son

Or back to Liege more likely?

Callumcafc

Assuming it's happens, how would that benefit Roland or the Qatari club that Ezekiel signed for?

soapy_jones

Athletico, go on you know it makes sense...

Roland gets his transfer money and we get a new forward?

John Chapman is pretty clued up on Belgium football, I have no idea why Ezekiel would be loaned to a European club, but I'd like it to be us!

Callumcafc

And what about the Qatari club, what do they gain?

PL54

So have we bought this couple of bandits yet ?

A pretty decent signing for a few years to come. Maybe Roland would only sell with this clause inserted.

I really haven't got a clue, probably all a nothing really, but there must be something there for John Chapman to tweet it!

Callumcafc

Agree, it's an interesting development. Just trying to make sense of it all.

Charlton are set to announce the signing of Nick Powell on a season-long loan as early as next week. #Confirmed #MUFC #CAFC

He's apparently gone for 8x his current salary...

EDIT: As Callum got his note above in before mine, I should clarify Ezekiel went for 8x salary. We aren't paying Nick Powell 8x more than the mancs...I think!! ;-)

I heard that the Qataris are looking to gain kudos and business relationships with influential Europeans who also run football clubs. The idea being that they will bid to stage the World Cup in the near future.

Of course this is ridiculous because how would FIFA allow the world cup to be played in +40 degree heat in a country which has never played in the world cup finals.

Why would Ezekial need to be a Quatari national in order to play football there? I wish people would think before they post nonsense that generates dozens of meaningless comments.

The World Cup in 2022...

The idea is he plays there long enough to qualify for Qatar and play in the 2022 World Cup.

Can I just clarify: was the Nick Powell rumour nonsense? Or is there anything to that?..

What do you expect on the rumour thread, it is a rumour. How many of these rumours ever happen

Multiple sources reporting it? AtleticoAddick confirming/hinting that it's true? Just something that could give it more validity really

I would like to think it could be true, but probably all came from the same source, how good that is we will have to wait and see
