GLOBAL FC is set to gain a major boost in time for the start of its Asian Football Confederation Cup group stage campaign next week. The defending United Football League champions are set to acquire Loyola Meralco star Matthew Hartmann ahead of the continental tournament starting against South China of Hong Kong, a Sparks insider revealed on Tuesday. The deal is yet completed as it is still undetermined as to who Loyola gets in return. “What’s clear is Matt is going to Global,” said the source, who requested not to be named. “As to if there is a trade for somebody else is yet to be finalized.” Whoever Loyola gets in exchange still makes the move surprising as the Simon McMenemy-mentored Sparks have agreed to ship a standout left winger, who has been instrumental to their National Club Championship conquest and in the early goings of the UFL league. Asked who gets the better end of the transaction, the source said it “depends on how the manager or coach sees it.” “Sa akin, asset si Matt. Pero depende sa diskarte ng coach yan eh,” the Loyola official said. “Normally, you wouldn’t allow that to happen na you’d be willing to give away one of their best performers, if not the best, recently,” the source was quick to add. “Pero kanya-kanyang diskarte yan.” The move will reunite the 25-year-old Hartmann with younger brother and Global striker Mark. Global coach Leigh Manson declined to comment on the matter as of posting time.

how are they going to sign him when the the transfer window isn't even open?
ReplyDeleteeven if they sign him, loyola are a pussy of a club! they let go of their best players as if it's nothing! aguinaldo, mark hartmann, bugas, now matt hartmann and oddly even all to the same fucking club... global! im surprised the younghusband bros are still at loyola!
The UFL 1st transfer window was closed last January 21. UFL 2nd window is still scheduled for April unless they have a special window just for Global FC? Where in the footballing world does this happen? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe UFL should stop the transfer and fibe the clubs if this happens or else they lose what little seriouseness is left with them! And Loyola should fire that insider immediately!!
ReplyDeletethe fact that there was 4 transfer windows in 2014 shows that the little seriousness the ufl had is all out the window!
DeleteWTF UFL!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems like only Global can do transfer after the market closes..
ReplyDeletePalami connection is at work I guess.
Curt Dizon going from Global to Loyola. Matt Hartmann from Loyola to Global.
ReplyDeleteas jonny said ... Curt will be transfer to Loyola while Matthew Hartman will be transfer to Global FC.
ReplyDeleteano ba yan wrong grammar.( will be transferRED)... kung di ka sure sa english mo, tagalugin mo na lng
Deleteperfecsyonist katalaga, hindi mu pinpalampas ang mga kunting kamalian... wag ka masyadong ganyan brrrrad, matuto kang mag pakumbaba, kahit amerikano nga may wrong grammar din.
Deleteyung mrt lagi lagi nalang may aberya. si palami dapat yun ang intindihin, hindi yung pag bili ng bagong players lalo na hindi naman bukas ang transfer window!!!
ReplyDeleteGlobal bought Hartmann for a cool $25K. Mas mahalaga kay Palami ang Global kaysa aberya ng MRT.
DeleteMatt is going to Global , but cant play UFL matches until UFL transfer window open in April. He can only play AFC Cup matches for Global.
ReplyDeleteWhat a farce! UFL = United Farce of a League
Deleteparang trade ang nangyayari - hahaha... United Fuckin' League
ReplyDeleteThe problem is actually this: The UFL is only a competition that is under jurisdiction of the NCRFA. As a result this transfer is legal as long as Matt does not take part in competitions that sre sanctioned by the NCRFA, which is only a part of the PFF. In the AFC Cup, Global is a representative of the PFF, so Matt can play for Global... LEGALLY.
ReplyDeleteThe real farce and problem is actually this: Why does the winner of the UFL, an NCRFA competition, qualify for the groups stage of the AFC Cup as a representative of the PFF, while the winner of the PFF National Championship has to go through the Playoffs! By that logic, the NCRFA is higher than the PFF.
Global should be banned from the AFC Cup for fielding an inelligible player and I hope the other group teams will protest against this!
I don't support Global but the league winners gaining direct entry is the AFC's decision, not the PFF! People need to understand that!
DeleteThis year the UFL is under the auspices of the PFF but regardless whether the UFL is under the auspices of NCRFA or PFF, FIFA Transfer Regulations mandates “A player may only be registered with one club at a time.” The FIFA Transfer Regulations lay down global and binding rules concerning the status of players, their eligibility to participate in organized football, and their transfer between clubs.
ReplyDeleteUFL Regulations has a similar mandate and states, “Under no circumstances shall a person be allowed to register as a player and team official for two separate and distinct clubs even if the clubs belong to different divisions.”
Therefore, no matter how you look at it Matthew Hartmann presently is registered with 2 clubs as he can not be officially dropped by Loyola since the transfer window remains closed. This is obviously a breach in FIFA & UFL Regulations. I am sure the AFC is not aware of this.
“The real farce and problem is actually this: Why does the winner of the UFL, an NCRFA competition, qualify for the groups stage of the AFC Cup as a representative of the PFF, while the winner of the PFF National Championship has to go through the Playoffs!”
This has been asked many, many times and no one seems to be willing to officially justify such decision. The PFF Smart National should be the priority as this tournament is genuinely a national event and should be the event that will determine the club that will represent the country in the group stage of the AFC Cup. The UFL although it has a few provincial clubs it is actually a private league and is not even considered a provincial league.
Sadly, the PFF discredited its own national league. What is even more appalling is the PFF announced earlier that the PFF Smart National Club Championship will no longer be the tournament that will determine any of the 2 slots allotted to the Philippines for the next AFC Cup. The UFL League and UFL Cup will now be the tournaments that will determine the club that will qualify for the AFC Cup playoff stage and the AFC Cup group stage. It just doesn’t make sense at all.
