David Icke - Son of God Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I remember the club just forgetting to announce Colo's arrival. Linked in the press, Ashley turns up in a shirt with his name on the back then silence for about three weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The window is open in that any transfers from Europe into England take effect from 10 June, so that doesn't quite hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Unless Eibar want to be able to make a replacement signing before allowing us to sign Lejeune, which they can't do until July 1st? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number9shirt Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united-eibar-florian-lejeune-13228758.amp According to this we still haven't made a bid/triggered his release clause. How the hell is he set to join. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no say in it if we meet the release clause though? They have no say in whether he can go, but they can certainly delay the deal going through if they want. Just speculating of course, not saying I believe that's happening, but it is something Eibar could do if they wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's entirely possible that Eibar could have a deal signed off and confirmed by now with their new player officially joining on July 1, which wouldn't fit with the idea that they won't let him go until that date.

STM Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 There's a million reasons why a transfer takes time, normally because agents, solicitors, players, club officials, medical guys all need to come together at the same time and that's not even including idea of negotiating fees and salaries etc. I'm fairly certain that we will sign this guy, probably next week before the players come back for training. I'd like to see 2 or 3 more follow in quick succession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could, was just thinking more of the PR exercise of unveiling a new player before or at the same time as the old one leaves. Chronicle makes it sound like its us holding things up though.

STM Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Remember the medical and signing is literally the last step, if everything is agreed and we trust the player, there's no need for the club to panic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The guy could be on holiday. Transfers don't usually get done this early, in an ideal world you would like your final squad all in for pre-season. We don't live in an ideal world, and it's likely we will have to wait until later in the transfer window to do most of our business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm liable to believe the reason it's not confirmed yet is because it's not actually done. Shocking i know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said in another thread its basically the end of financial year in regards to players, its when contracts expire, if anything all should be like this, it makes more sense.

LRD Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 English clubs can officially sign and add players to their squad from 9/10 June. Can't see why players have to move only from 1 July if the deal is done and dusted, unless they are signing on a free transfer. Say, we sign Lejeune from Eibar. They are skint and will most likely need the 8.7m to booster their transfer funds. If we meet the release clause and they know Lejeune will leave, why would they say hold the money, let's keep him until 1 July or until our FY ends and waste a few week's worth of wages for a player we won't be using the services of? Meet the release clause, pay up in full and we get him off our books so that we move on and look for his replacement would be the clear option.
