....that tonight's gonna be a good night

What?

I think what he means is..........

Today is D Day between the Club & Dallas.

AD is happy to sign but his Agent isn't and if it doesn't come to fruition then Bonne is the preferred alternative.

I cannot imagine that we will sign both but if we do then the bookies will close their books and the League could be as good as Won before we go to Solihull

That’s a vivid imagination coming to that conclusion ‘Black eyed peas’ an all that lol.

If we do manage to pull off both signings, and maybe get the Curtis lad on some sort of cheapish deal, I can see records being smashed across the board next campaign, such as goal difference, goals scored, points total the whole kit and caboodle.

If true it’s quite bizarre that the lad is being held to ransom by an agent

He’s only young, you’d imagine his parents would get involved

It sounds like rubbish to me. All he would have to do is say ‘shut up Mr Agent, I want to join CFC’. Let’s not make out like Dallas is some poor naive soul in the middle of it all.

Indeed. End of the day, the agent doesn't dictate what club he plays at, he can only provide the options available and like it or lump it.....but it has gone o too long now. TBH, I would have pulled the plug on him already - unless a genuine reason why no pen to paper yet

Why would an agent be able to stop a player signing . Who's the boss in the equation ?

[Westbars Spireite]

The idea that Dallas is being dictated to by his agent is nonsense. It's a weak excuse (if that's being claimed) for not taking control of your own situation.

A very naive view of the power of agents particularly with relatively young lads, and at this level. But I do agree, the deal was on the table for weeks and nothing was signed by the deadline. So for me, thank you and good luck.

If the player has said represent me then it will be cat and mouse when other clubs are involved. Just depends on the club if our offer is ‘final’ and this is being bounced round our rivals.

Clicked a thread on MB and got another on AD ....


Arrrggggghhhhh!!

What deadline was set?

There ain’t a deadline as such in this league.

I thought Cook said on the radio Tuesday Friday was our dead line for Dallas?

[Rodney's Moustache]

Beginning to think all this talk of Bonne and Dallas is all hype but happy to be proved wrong.

me too, so i wondered why Rodney was suggesting he'd already missed the deadline

A contract once offered has to remain “open” for a month.


We got stung by Nathan Abbey over that.


But if not signed by the end of that time then move to on.

Depends what’s in their contract.
