This articles sums it up.

Everton are considering their next step after FIFA refused to sanction the Premier League side’s loan move for Belgium midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe, claiming the deal was done after the transfer deadline had passed. The Liverpool Echo reports, however, that the fault lies with Odjidja-Ofoe’s current club rather than the Toffees.

The newspaper claims that Club Brugge were late filing their side of the paperwork with FIFA, causing the governing body to cancel the proposed season-long loan. The Echo claims Everton have been punished for the mistakes of Brugge and are mulling over their options, with an appeal a possibility.

Odjidja-Ofoe’s loan transfer was ratified by both the Premier League and the Football Association, who vouched for Everton that the paperwork had been filed before the 11pm deadline on August 31. Despite that, however, FIFA would not give the go-ahead.

If Everton choose not to appeal - or do appeal and are unsuccessful - manager David Moyes will consider a fresh move for the player when the winter transfer window opens in January.

That's just O'Keeffe's rehashed musings.

You have absolutely no idea how long Everton left them with - it might have been half a day for all you know.

I know that the player says we made a move late. I think he knows more about it than you and I both.
 
I was more excited when I first glanced at the transfer rumour and thought it said Defoe.

Anyway if he's as good as everyone says he is then other clubs will be on alert in January. Unless the appeal happens and is successful then we wont sign him. Mark my words me heartys.
 

FIFA states that they suspect it was finished on time without anything except they have a feeling? I feel popcorned. Summer window was nice but now with the Gibson injury we'd need a backup.
 
Can Vidas or his club just terminate the contract and we sign him as a free agent? We pay Club Brugge compensation at the sametime. Happy days. (doubt FA allow this).

Yeah, he does know more than you and you will note that he says "late", not "too late".

off ... slight correction, sorry mate, but my sentiments entirely.

We should send someone over to grease Platini's quim that should sort out that Frodo like soap dodger and gain some positive consideration for once. Can't we do a Collini on whoever is responsible FIFA side for this ? In my experience with European bureaucracy a bit of not-so-gentle persuasion usually works.
