I wonder if it's just a case of the Spanish journalist not doing their homework and therefore not realising he has a pre-contract with Palace and not just an unwritten agreement.

Clubs that consider signing a player who has signed a pre-contract with another club should also tread carefully, as the club and the player would be jointly and severally liable for any compensation payable if the player is found to have breached the pre-contract without just cause (Article 17(2) of FIFA’s Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players 2012). Sporting sanctions can also be imposed on the club for inducing the player to breach the pre-contract as there is a presumption, unless established to the contrary, “that any club signing a professional who has terminated his contract without just cause has induced that professional to commit a breach” (Article 17(4) of FIFA’s Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players).

Pope has performed with great distinction and it might well be Heaton who will be No 2 at Burnley in which case he might wish to leave the club.

Pope cost just £1.1 Mill. When one thinks that Tarkowski only cost £3 Mill they represent some excellent work by Burnley in the Transfer Market.

But only in your eyes

I hope he does come.

Keep Wayne as number 2 and a youngster as 3rd choice.
