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

Coming to this argument late, I know, but could well be down to the terms of the new sponsorship deal. We may be contractually obliged to announce new signings with images carrying their logo and we don't have them yet.

I'd imagine we will want to officially confirm De Fanti and/or Angeloni before any new signings too.
 
I think 'pre contract agreement' is just a term that has developed in football to describe a contract that is signed before it takes full effect (i.e. before the player's registration can be formally transferred and before he starts getting paid).

Any player entering the last six months of his contract is free to negotiate and sign with other clubs, its just that his registration cannot be transferred until his existing contract has expired and the transfer window has opened.

There would be no need to sign a separate 'pre contract agreement' in these circumstances. This would effectively just be a contract agreeing not to sign another contract - pretty pointless as the contract already signed would be binding.

Possibly so, my arguement the other day though was that Seb & Westwood were announced before the 1st of July and without photos etc the photos in the kit etc were done on a later date.

In the grand scheme of things though............it doesnt really matter :lol: I just wondered why if we have supposedly sorted deals for them they havnt been announced yet like Toure, Amorebieta etc.

Sometimes I just like arguing for the sake of it......

Again, quite possible
 
So we haven't officially signed anyone yet then.

Obviously, given Bosmans can't be 'officially signed' until July 1st. Doesn't mean the signings can't be tied down before then, though. Also, there is a massive world of difference between officially signed and officially announced.
 
Quite excited that we are signing players who aren't ex managers favourites or from relegated teams.
 
@GFN_France
Valentin Roberge has finally agreed to sign with Sunderland too. #SAFC

GFN FRANC :lol::lol::lol::lol: They said he was having second thoughts the other day

A massive difference :lol: Both the same for me like, until they are on Safc.com I'll be doubtful.

Oh actually does this mean we are going to be getting silhouettes in the next couple of weeks on Safc.com

Seems to be some massive competition on being the first to announce Safc signings and news. Google translate must be coming under great strain from the north east at the minute. Do the winners get free bitcoins and cyber hugs?
