I hope we sign someone very soon, I hate all this waiting!!! Surely the management have already set targets for the players they want.
A lot of it is paper talk at the moment,Its all done behind closed doors,There could be 3 players unveiled at the same time,However we won't hear about it until they are ready to be unveiled.However nothing can happen officially until the first of July.
Why can't it? I thought we were good to go on British players from 1st June onwards? The likes of Norwich have already confirmed two signings, for example.
They have agreed fees,no signings have been made,you can agree as many fees as you like before July first,but no official signings can be made before July first.Liverpool could and this is could have agreed a fee with Sunderland for Jordan Henderson by tomorrow if reports are to be believed.He will enter into negotiations with Liverpool and have a medical and complete formalities after July first.
Oh, so no contract is officially signed until July? So when clubs 'confirm' signings, is it only in principle? Because if nothing has been signed, surely the player can change his mind?
Thats different,he's on a scholarship as he's only 15.Liverpool had to pay QPR an instant compensation fee for Raheem Sterling as it was dealing with another English club,However overseas clubs have a different way of doing things,Liverpool will probably pay St Kevins boys a development fee later on.
Im hoping that all of our buisness will be done by about the 10th July it then gives us around 6 weeks for everybody to gel together. If we have a good start next season then who knows?
I think there may be a couple in August though. Someone might suddenly become available who we may have had half an eye on for a later time. It's that domino effect they go on about.
They could sign a pre contract agreement. This is what Jovanovic signed last year before July 1st, and the same with Cisse all those years ago. Supposedly Ronaldo signed one with Madrid to.
