[REPORTED] Antonio Tikvic

On the bench for Udinese this evening. I've heard he's pushing for the move though after seeing the Jake 'Pirlo' Livermore show earlier.

 

Him appearing on the bench now means that he qualifies for a work permit.

 

Looks like this one is edging closer

#WatfordFC are close to agreeing a loan deal for Udinese centre-back Antonio Tikvic. [

He came on for the last five minutes

 

Apparently negotiations could go either way at this stage.

 

#One to watch.

 

I think he may or may not sign for us. Just waiting on confirmation from AL on that.

 

Update - Gino and his best friend Mogi are close to agreeing terms of the loan with Mogi and his best friend Gino.

 

On the contrary. I'm hearing that then only thing holding up the deal is that we haven't chosen which agent to use yet.

 

Not coming after all. Latest from AL

Udinese’s Antonio Tikvic won’t be joining #WatfordFC on loan. Croatia U21 played for Bayern II before move to Italy this season, where he has played in league & cup. FIFA rules don’t permit 3rd club.

 

Surely they'd have known about this before they went in for him?

 

Classic. Leventhal closing down the rumour he started.

 

I was under the impression that the new Fifa rules allow a player to represent 3 clubs in a singular season.

 

Apparently the Pollock transfer is still live (according to AL) So we’re still shipping players out. Anything to save a few shillings here and there.

 

Not what I heard.

I heard that he may not or may sign for us.

 

I thought the same because the FIFA regulations state that a player can be registered for a maximum of 3 different clubs during one season. However, the rules also state that a player is allowed to appear for no more than 2 of these clubs in official matches during the same season.
