Eh? :lol: I think you'll find that contracts are legally binding, as such they won't be Sunderland players until July 1st. So why announce them now?

Why have Liverpool announced the deal for Toure when he cant officially sign until the 1st of July?

Why have Fulham announced Amorebieta and Boateng, why have Monaco announced Carvalho, why have we announced Watmore, Douglas to Poznan etc etc

That's not a reason for announcing now. Do you just want them announced so you don't have to panic that they will fall through or something?

Scousers love a steal;)

But your suggesting that its ridiculous that we would announce a signing now, yet every other club, including ourselves has done it. To me that suggests the deals aren't actually done yet

Where have I said it's ridiculous? I just said why would we? I don't see a reason for announcing it early, especially when we've only just announced the new sponsor and neither of the new shirts are out yet.

WTF :lol:

When a transfer is agreed there is absolutely no reason to not announce it, as every other club and ourselves has done.

The deals are obviously not fully completed yet, despite what bizarre foreign articles on twitter say :)

We'll want to use new signings in publicity photos for the new strips.

Like when we announced we had signed this lad on a free transfer on July 2nd last year, despite all of us knowing he was going to be a Sunderland player for months.

But maybe he only actually signed for the club on the 2nd of July rather than before? Theres a difference between being linked and actually agreeing to join

Seb & Westwood officially signed before the 1st of July and we announced it before then

If the deals were actually signed and sealed we would have been told and the players would then appear in the club photos when their contracts start in July

Is that an FA rule? Will we get points deducted if we fail to announce them before July 1st?

We could be waiting for them to sign the actual contracts, so we receive their registration. We could be waiting for De Fanti to be officially confirmed as DOF as it's his job to sign them. We may want to announce all the Bosman signings at once.

But no, if they haven't been announced it's all made up!

I don't for one second doubt that there is interest, the point I'm making is that I don't believe the deals are done otherwise we would have announced them, as other clubs do and as we have done in the past.

Like you say we may be waiting for them to sign the contracts.....which means they haven't signed yet. Which is exactly my point
 
So Roberge starting CB alongside O'Shea ? still need another two CBS

Cabral into midfield alongside Alf ? -

Hadji Ba into the youths ?

still need fullbacks , strikers and playmaker backup for Sess
