Still only rumours about the same players, is it unlikely we’ll hear any definitive signings until June is out of the way?
No one on this forum (or elsewhere come to that), can honestly answer that sn.
Well, some on here claim to be in ITK and some are more so than others but you're possibly right, other than maybe those who work for the club but are understandably keeping stumm!
There is a player that we have the deal done but as flown off on a family holiday and will sign when he returns ….. ??
If he ain't signed, it ain't done.
Might be close, might be agreed but it ain't done.
That sounds like the player has agreed to deal in principle, but now off on his hold while his agent touts it around other clubs to see if anyone will improve on it. Like you say, if he hasn’t signed the contract, it’s 100% not done.

These types of rumours are just nonsense though arent they ? Its not how business works, especially at league 1 level, where most players are living contract to contract.
If it was agreed and all he has to do is sign a contract it can be done quickly, even sent to him on holiday to sign. Also fi he is coming to us that means he is either -
A) Out of contract and therefore not being paid anymore once his current contract expires, as such would be more reason to sign the contract ASAP
Coming to us for more money which would mean same as above in terms of reason to sign a contract ASAP
I know alot of people seem to not understand how contracts work (see Dobbo fiasco thread) but until a player has signed a contract he isnt our player or getting paid by us.
I don't know the ins and outs of how footballers contracts work (so I am among the lot of people) but I thought player contracts finish at the end of June which to me means players are still being paid whether they have renewed there contracts or not.
In most circumstances you are right, there are some oddities where players may have received their payment before that date but yes thats correct in general. However this is league 1 and most players will want to sign a contract ASAP. By not getting paid i mean from that date 30th June. That also means if he signed with us goes on holiday and breaks his league on holiday we still have to pay him come 30th june until end of his contract, where as if we agree a deal but no contract is signed we dont.
Of course, being an international transfer, perhaps he's signed a pre-contract agreement
Well if he goes Bristol rovers over us is this legitimate grounds for a small meltdown? The budget should, if promotion worthy, be beating them to a signing you’d hope.
We seen London not the pull it use to be ..even offering double the money can’t persuade players and more important their family to move to a troubled capital city
How many of our players actually live in London? Maybe some of the younger ones might want to, but I’d imagine most live in nicer places further out

Nothing wrong with living in London.
As long as you can afford to live in the nice parts.

But the player can't officially play for you until later.
You are an absolute legend
Then again if we’re playing 3-5-2 the wingback’s are crucial too.
