I'm not thinking otherwise - it was stated in the Brazilian news pieces about the deal for Franca. Textor was specifically mentioned as doing the deal. There was even mention of him owning a percentage of the player but I've no idea how that would work. Eagle Holdings? Several football clubs have had owners buying players. The obvious one is Chelsea. In South America, it’s normal business for players to be owned by several entities. Normally multiple clubs and sometimes agencies…but that is not allowed over here. So it’s impossible that it can happen. I think what’s more likely, is that they know Textor with his links to Botofogo and will be aware he’s a shareholder at Palace, and it’s nothing more than a spurious link…so it’s BS. The only person I’d give either credit or blame on our transfers is Dougie.

I'm pretty certain a ruling was made that if a European club wants to purchase a player who has multiple agency ownership that the buying club has to reach an agreement with all the owning parties as the rules for players in Europe state that a player cannot have multiple ownership. This may explain why this deal has taken so long.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

It’s hard to be positive on this one . This story has gone forward ,and backward far too often. Usually the selling club will clearly let it be known the player is going and where, that hasn’t happened officially .and then only confusion reigns over all aspects of what should be a well used path to him ending up in a Palace Shirt. Unraveling the ownership of South American players can be very complicated, and maybe that is a problem not yet resolved., whatever something does not feel right.

I suspect other clubs have more experience of buying players with complicated ownership. Perhaps we are exposing our lack of experience in this market? If so, hopefully just means it takes longer. Which is a shame, as it would have been nice to see him play Lyon.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but I'm assuming a player like França is going to need a work permit. Could that be a reason for the delay?

Did a bit of searching that my limited aging will allow me & came across this from a Brazilian outlet called 'SambaFoot' . . . [Link]
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

It's typical Palace take forever and wonder why we end up paying more in the end or missing out on people.

This probably explains the lack of clubs queueing up to pay a big fee for him. It is difficult for a club our size as if we pay more than £15m for a player we kind of need them to hit the ground running given the limited resources. Given Roy's reluctance to take risks I doubt we'll see more than the odd 10 or 15 minutes here and there, but who knows, maybe he'll take to the PL like a duck to water.
