Not sure it's correct. Obviously close and sounds like it will happen but not expecting it to be done until Monday.

He's a West Ham player until Sunday, so I assume all the details will be tied up/rubber-stamped on Monday and he'll be announced.

If we were to reveal our Johnson prematurely would there be some sort of sanction?

I'd forgotten that ITFC and TWTD do things the correct and proper way.

You can't blame an old wheezer of jumping the gun?
Oh, you can.
Naughty step for me then.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jun/25/manchester-united-and-c

Was reported in The Guardian yesterday (where the West Ham website sourced the story)

Been a nosey sod on one of the West Ham fan forums, where they have a thread discussing Ben Johnson and his contract situation. Mixed views on his ability as a player (about a 50/50 split on whether he's at the level to play for them regularly) Almost unanimous about wanting him to stay as a person though, because he's a down-to-earth, humble lad who's one of their own; sounds like the type of character who would be the perfect fit for our squad.

Couple of posters claim to know him personally, and that he's 100% on the move because he's not been treated particularly well by the owners / management. At the end of the season, I looked through the list of Prem players with contracts expiring - he was a player I dismissed as assumed he'd either get a new contract at WHU, or would be offered one by an established Prem club, so if we can get this over the line, would be absolutely delighted; looked to have bags of potential prior to last season when he didn't feature much for WHU.

I've seen lots of deals announced prior to contracts expiring the wording is just

"Player X will join on the expiry of his contract at Wherever FC next week"

More likely they want to announce him in the new kit as a double whammy !!!

The impression I got was that there wouldn't be a confirmation until next week.

Is he equally effective on both sides of the pitch? (thinking back-up for Leif if needed).

I swear down nobody on here believes a damn word i say ... why anyone thinks i'd lie about something like that i have no idea ......

OK examples (since my Brother in law is a Port Vale Fan)

Port vale on 22nd May announced the signing on Ronan Curtis on a 3 year deal FROM JULY 1st

Port Vale on 17th June announced the signing of Ryan Croasdale on a 2 year deal FROM JULY 1st

Both you can check out on Vales twitter page if you really want to .......

No, it is true, it does happen. Skuse was one, off the top of my head.


Skuse: Town a Sleeping Giant 15th May 2013 09:10
New signing Cole Skuse says he views Town as a sleeping giant whose rightful place is in the Premier League. Yesterday, the club confirmed that the 27-year-old had agreed a three-year deal which he will sign on July 1st when his Bristol City terms are up. 33



Conversely, Aaron Cresswell arrived on the first day of pre-season with the deal announced that day.
