I don't really understand this though ... the transfer window doesn't have to be open to make signings? |  |

It seems to be a line people are using to reassure themselves. We could have announced signings by now had we made any. It is still relatively early days, but given the overhaul we're looking at we could do with getting some deals over the line soon. [Post edited 3 Jun 2021 9:39]

Well true, I believe you can pick up players that are out of contract between windows. |  |

100% Herbs. With Ashton and Werhun in place, you'd expect things to ramp up a little (which they said as much themselves). |  |

You can also sign players, you just can't register them. Given we don't have any competetive games until August that isn't really a problem. Other sides have made signings already. |  |

I don't think many clubs announce signings until the window officially opens, you can of course have an agreement in place "X will join us when his contract expires on 30th June". But I think its normal practice to wait. |  |

If I'm being serious, I think Cook would want to get the majority of his business done before the first pre season friendly, but we know it doesn't always work like that. |  |

Is it? Not uncommon at all for clubs to announce free transfers with players whose old deals haven't yet expired or fee transfers with players who can't be registered yet. James Wilson to Plymouth as a recent example. If we aren't announcing signings, it's because we haven't made agreements. |  |

I reckon you are spot on. Only thing I wondered was whether Ashton might have completed a couple of deals but wants it under wraps as he didn't 'officially' start until this week. Could be slightly optimistic though! |  | |  |

If he was still under contract with Bristol there is no way that he would have been doing anything itfc related whilst still on their payroll |  |

The point of the thread was not because I was impatient but because it sounded like things were in the pipeline. Today is a little earlier than anyone seems to have anticipated, though. Special mention to BlueBertie for the patronising "not until the 9th" ably supported by Wallingford. I suspect the signing will not be officially made until the transfer window is open but all must be in place for it to have been announced now. |  |
