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

He'll surely be at pre season on Monday so done before then |  |

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. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

He can't sign until July 1st as he's a West Ham player until June 30th. |  | |  |

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). |  |

No, it is true, it does happen. Skuse was one, off the top of my head. Skuse: Town a Sleeping Giant 15th May 2013 09:10New 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.
