A top-level UEFA delegation will meet FIFA's president Sepp Blatter tomorrow to make clear in no uncertain terms its anger at FIFA's "unilateral" behaviour in the row over the future of the transfer system.

UEFA's president Lennart Johansson, chief executive Gerhard Aigner and vice-president Per Omdal will tell Blatter that FIFA must withdraw the document it submitted last week to the European Commission outlining a new transfer system and agree instead to a joint set of proposals.

Blatter will be warned that if FIFA fails to do so, UEFA will register an interest in the transfer issue, which would allow it to open direct negotiations with the EC.

Anger towards FIFA, and Blatter in particular, was plain at a heated meeting of UEFA's executive committee which concluded in Nyon, Switzerland, yesterday. It was unanimously agreed to oppose FIFA's proposals, and Aigner said UEFA had offered to meet the relevant European commissioners to explain its concerns.

"We have told the Commission FIFA's paper does not represent the view of European football and we will not accept it," he said. "We have written to the Commission that this `non-paper' cannot be considered the basis for future negotiations."

In a blunt statement, the executive committee said: "This document remains with the EC and as a result continues to undermine the negotiation process and the status of the original proposals."

UEFA is angry at FIFA's plans, which would allow players to terminate their contracts at three months' notice or with "just cause" such as not agreeing with the manager's tactics. It has a mandate from the top 13 leagues in Europe to go it alone unless FIFA agrees that the document presented jointly to the EC last year by FIFA and UEFA is the paper to discuss.

"It is essential for the unity of the game that all future negotiations with the EC are based on the original FIFA-UEFA transfer task force proposals," UEFA insisted.

The EC insists it will go on examining the proposals put to it by FIFA. Although FIFA has insisted its proposals are not concrete, it will be under severe pressure tomorrow to withdraw them and accept the need to work on what UEFA calls "an agreed way forward".

One player well acquainted with the current transfer system is Bradford striker Stan Collymore, who could become reunited with Martin O'Neill if chairman Geoffrey Richmond can agree a deal with Celtic.

The Scottish Premier League Celtic interested in signing the frozen out star, with fringe forward Tommy Johnson moving in the opposite direction.

Richmond revealed: "We've spoken about a possible exchange deal involving Tommy and Stan, although there is nothing definite happening yet."

Meanwhile, West Ham have completed the signing of Norwegian international defender Raggy Soma from Bryne.

Soma, who cost £800,000, agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal.

West Ham boss Harry Redknapp was impressed by Soma after seeing him play in a trial match for the club last year, and made moves to sign him.

Leicester manager Peter Taylor has had talks with former Italian international Roberto Mancini after the veteran Lazio striker was recommended to him by Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Taylor is interested in signing Mancini on a short-term basis until the end of the season.
