I am also now firmly in this camp. If he doesn’t sign today, move on.

Same here. Cook is no fool and will have it covered.

surely we give until the end of tomorrow? Tomorrow is when he officially becomes a free agent right?

Yeah I just mean regardless of announcement you tell us for 110% you’re signing for us or we’re out. He’s had long enough to figure out if he wants to be here or elsewhere. Our pre-season has already begun.

Although I would imagine it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Will be funny if they’ve wrapped this up already and are just waiting to announce it

Chesterfield fans have been known to sing "Oxford's a **** hole, I want to go home" so their knowledge of nice areas is clearly limited.

Oldham has Manchester on its doorstep, plus the moors around Saddleworth. Its not far to leafy Cheshire where the prem lads live....

Gillingham is in Kent, described as the garden of England. Its not just about the town centre...

But its probably more about the money!

And we have the Peak District National Park, far better than the two you have mentioned.

Pete O'Rourke is a good source but aren't Southend under an embargo?

Unless he signs in the next two hours I consider Dallas over and done with and thank god. Time to move on tommorow morning,I’m sick of hearing about him and his agent

Why two hours? You are only hearing about Dallas and his agent because of speculation on here.

I get that everyone is sick of this dragging on but I doubt anyone would say they no longer care if he's announce in say a week's time

I've thought Dallas was unlikely after the signing of Grigg.

We presumably wouldn't be signing either to warm the bench.

I always think its a case of what they've done....like others have said stag do's etc where they've put up with you, hung around all day or longer then its a nice thing to do but not just if some grumpy *** has dropped you somewhere and then buggered off. That said i always get annoyed by the folk who see fit to have a round of applause when a plane lands safely!

I would happily do that as I'm delighted not to be dead in a plane crash every single time.

If Dallas wants to sign, he can quite plainly say to his agent ‘f**k off and stop taking the urine’.

Quite. Man up or p*iss off elsewhere. He isn't God's gift to football when all is said and done.

How long before he’s linked with York City, now it’s part of a millionaires son play thing?

Aren’t we the same?

Looking through all this Dallas stuff I’m pretty sure each and everyone of us when we are buying something shop round for the best deal we can get. Surely he is doing exactly the same and weighing up his options and let’s not forget he’s legally still a moors member of staff. I’d guess, please note the use of the word guess here, that we’ve made him an offer, probably a few have, and more than likely he’s or his agent is going back to back to clubs saying this is what I’ve been offered, can you improve on it. Again if you could do that with your boss or potential boss you would.
If he signs I for one will be chuffed to bits, if he doesn’t, yes I’ll be disappointed but wish him all the best. At this moment in time nothing is 100% known by anyone on here.

FFS He's under contract to Solihull.
Someone somewhere will announce he's signed a contract as soon as he is a free agent.

And before somebody says, we signed Grigg and Naylor. They were amicable signings were both teams were in agreement, unlike Solihull who will probably have to go to arbitration.

I’d say there is more chance of us signing Macaulay Culkin.
