So he’s been tapped up then, breaking league rules?

Also, how does a Sunday session affect his performance the following Saturday?

Clubs can tell his agent they are interested and what’s on the table without speaking to the player breaking any rules.

With him being out of contact wouldn't he be allowed to discuss potential deals from earlier this year?

He can talk to clubs outside of the English leagues from Jan 1st but not officially to English clubs.

At what point can an out of contract player do that officially? Seems a little unfair even if we know it goes on.

I know nowt but I'd bet diamonds that Lewis Gordon knew he was coming here well before his Bristol contract finished.

Oh yeh definitely. There will be lots done talking to agents ahead of things being official etc.

Promise you we're doing it as much as other clubs.

If rumours are to be believed, 3 already look like being signed up for next season... in March.

How fair is that question to the current squad ?

I’m guessing that the Canadian Defender who we nearly signed on TDD will be one of them.

Very fair they’ve all had their fair chance

Seems an awful lot of money for a defender especially with the luck we had this season with defensive injuries.

His agent can talk to anyone anytime.

So all the long term injured have had a fair chance ?
