Keeping Mino Raiola above the breadline - 2017 summer transfer window

[Lang Spoon]

January before registration I think

[ursus arctos]

He can be registered on 1 January and play after that. Doing this now allows him to train at Atleti in much the way that Arda Turan did during Barcelona's ban.

I feel that Derby signing free agent Ain't Nobody Like Joe Ledley should be noted for posterity.

[Snake Plissken]

I didn't know he was a free agent. Would have thought he might have caught on at somewhere like Burnley.

Speaking of which, Clarets back up to three keepers after signing Anders Lindegaard as an FA.

[Patrick Thistle]

I'm very surprised Ledley was a free agent for so long.

[Ray de Galles]

The story I've heard is that he had a massive offer from China so turned down a lot of British interest but when he went to China he realised he and his young family would struggle too much out there.

The deal with Derby is (initially at least) only until January though I'm not sure which party instigated that.
