Joël Matip

Surely it should work in our favour that matip hasn't played for Cameroon for over a year,and yet during that time they didn't try to ban him from playing club football while they had an international match?

[Bender]

Should go and score a double hat trick of OGs.

Fantasy Points for everyone

[Lecter]

Surely its restraint of trade... the european courts should sort this?

And round we go.....

Which player is going to let himself be suspended from all football activities whilst we go through this legal process

Doesn't make any difference at all

You are at the mercy of the FA and whether they want to call the player up against his wishes

I did think this but couldn't see any player being so unprofessional

Would be funny though

[ChesterDave]

Is there a provision under English and Welsh, or European Law for a US type 'John Doe' scenario. I know that Mastercard fees challenge is going through as a class action on behalf of all consumers.

Challenge the rules on a general principle as it is wide ranging and affects lots of people rather than a specific individual challenging the rules to attempt to set precedent.

I am not getting this at all

SO new England manager comes in and calls up Milner , does that mean they can stop him playing for us if he doesn't go ?

if milly gets a note from his mam then he doesnt have to do PE.

But they must have accepted his wishes for over a year and accepted he had packed in internationals.

Was thinking this

Can't see it would help their case very much.

At what point does the manager sub. 1,2,3,4,5,6?

I guess it would depend on how close the 60th minute was.

This is not just about retirement didn't the guy from West Brom turn up for the provisional squad because he was worried about being banned, then wasn't picked for the final squad and he is in the same position.

[gratziani]

if milly gets a note from his mam then he doesnt have to do pe.

:d:d:d

[Fosterbloke]

Surely the fact he hasn't been picked for the last 23 means he's free to play? I'd understand if he's a named player but didn't turn up.

[Lecter]

He retired under old regime

New regime have clearly tried to talk him round. When that has failed they have gone in heavyhanded

Not unless Cameroon release him
