Ah, there you go then. We already know Doc’s options been triggered and Elder’s going. Only waiting on Coyle and Alfie Jones’ new deals to be announced (or not). I imagine most of the current u21s in their final years will get released and a lot of u18s will get promoted.
Good news. Heard any names regarding who we’re interested in, barring the ones mentioned already in the media like Joe Ward, Sonny Bradley etc? Rosenior’s said again today he’s looking at 5 players and the clubs already speaking to agents.
I’ve been thinking about ‘tapping-up’ and how common it is in football, even if it’s technically not allowed. Rosenior said he’s already approached agents about players he wants but I imagine most of them are still contracted to their current clubs until June 30th of this year.
I often get a Hard on about players we’re not going to sign and who I know nothing about and have never seen play FACT
I think there's tapping up, and then there's approaching clubs in the proper manner. E.g. Brighton have already signed Joao Pedro from Watford, and I imagine Watford were involved in those discussions even though the window isn't open.
Absolutely, just mean that having transfer discussions outside the window isn't automatically tapping up or done in the wrong manner.
Coyle has posted a video of himself boxing this morning with the caption pre season and tagged City in it, so would imagine an announcement on his deal isn’t a million miles away.
Usually when you make a comment certain posters jump all over it trying to rubbish it, because you're far away, didnt see it live etc. In this case you got agreement, a rare thing indeed.
