[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 117665"] Well technically it does...there's Everton, Tim Howard and Utd, 3 parties. It all arose 'cause we wanted him signed up ASAP so as not to get into a bidding war after the transfer window re-opened. We could tie up the deal 'cause he was already at Everton. United didn't want to do this because whilst on loan under league rules he wouldn't be able to play against them in the crunch game a few weeks before the end of the season. An advantage they didn't want to give up. We agreed with them not to play him in this fixture in return for them signing the deal early. Ultimately, one way or the other, there was no way he was ever going to be able to play against them this season. Utd's prerogative I suppose. Incidentally West Ham had a similar gentleman's agreement with Fulham over the permanent deal for Boa Morte....West Ham reneged on it however. [/QUOTE]
