| "Cup-tied" players | |
| Author: 2mas
Date: 30-12-2005, 15:56 | I don't know where to look, so I ask here in the forum: Romours say players who did compete in the UEFA Cup this fall may play in the Champions League for another club already this spring. Is this true? Does this apply to other way too? E.g. Champions League "cup-tied" players may play for their new club in the UEFA Cup? |

A few examples in the Netherlands: -Huntelaar played UEFA-cup for Heerenveen and can now play CL for ajax -Koné played Intertoto for Roda JC and can now play CL for PSV -Robert played CL for PSV and can now play UEFA-cup for Betis -Ball played CL for Rangers and cannot play CL for PSV (he could have played UEFA-cup if PSV had dropped to UEFA-cup). |

And what if a player was fielded in one competition only (for Everton or other CLQ3 losers)? Looks like they can now represent another club in the other tournament. |

Liverpool are rumoured to be signing Daniel Agger from Brondby - he played in the 3rd qualifying round, so will he be eligible for Liverpool in the later rounds? |
