Looks like signing number 3 will be In Ryton when they get back from Austria.

I'm a bit confused as to why he is signing on 1st August?

Anyone got any ideas on who it could be?

Someone that played in euros?
Would have thought that would tie in with the date

With our budget it will either be an Albanian, Icelandic, Northern Ireland or Turkish player.

I do have everything crossed that its Griezman though!

Well it's got to be from the scraps and leftovers.

So we need luck and goodwill that this crappy little player, whoever he may be, will turn it on big style.

Dont most contracts expire on 31/7 ? It would make the player a free agent on 1/8. I'm not building my hopes up of it being a player from Euro's at this stage.

I thought potentially a player from the league of Ireland as that league starts in March but appears to end in October.

I assume it'll be a player that's currently playing in a domestic league that ends in July.

Tried googling but no breakdown of world leagues that finish in July.

When do Scandinavian leagues end?

My thought was possibly a six month loan. The article also talks about Mowbray being after players where we have nailed on first teamers already. I suspect it will the Premier League left back he mentioned some weeks ago.

Or maybe we are trying to save on a couple of weeks wages. Not saying SISU are cheap or anything :smuggrin:

I think you're probably right.

I thought most contracts finished end of June after the season has finished. That way clubs don't have to pay players over the summer who are leaving. Might be wrong though.

Contracts finish 30th June. Its all about saving a months wages.

I agree, although as said above it would be nice for a player to have come out of the Euros I think the likelihood is that TM is probably making the most out of every pound available in the budget. Possibly why he does like signing players later on in the transfer window

Surely nobody will come out the Euros with any credit and sign for a League 1 club? The club shop is printing up 'Sterling 7' shirts as we speak.

After how he played I'd rather get Ellery Cairo out of retirement and bring him back

Not all contracts finish on the 30th June.

Could at least give us a hint about position they play

Surely it'll be a defensive player. Either RB or a CB?

Why are so slow at signing players? August 1st is ridiculous.

 

[Covstu]

If they are in the bag then whats it matter?

 

[Oz Howie]

If it's only a six month loan, not starting it until 1st August means we will have the player until end of January.

clearly they are under contact till the end of July.

Its more important that they get to gel with the rest of the team before Aug 1st than sign before Aug 1st.

The report says it's a permanent signing

If he's training with us till the signing is announced what's the issue?

Gael Bigirimana is not in the 26 player NUFC squad which travelled to Ireland. Adam Armstrong is included. It's possible that Bigirimana's remaining 12 month contract will be cancelled by mutual agreement on 31st July, leaving him free to sign for us on 1st August.

There isn't one, but we can't help but have a good moan!

We only sign when we're whineing.

I think Grendel just dropped an overdose of Valium.

 

[Monners]

Everyone ready for a chorus of Will Grigg's on fire?

 

[steve82]

My feeling is its a defensive player. Well I'm hoping anyway. The 1st August is a strange one, unless it's a early birthday present for me from the club.

 

[skybluebeduff]

It better not be Gael, why the fuck would you want that in this years squad.

Hopefully he convinced TM enough to remove his number from his phone.

Ive got a feeling theres going to be a lot of pissed off people on here on the 1st Aug.
My mate was talking to sky blue sam at the borough game and he confirmed its Biggi. Just waiting on the kit man to sought the shirt out as apparently hes going to be our new left back
