MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 If he had his medical yesterday he would have signed the deal yesterday. Why it's taking so long to announce I have absolutely no idea. Only reason it's worrying is because of the charge over our head. Because if it's a transfer embargo then we're in a bit of trouble. Also find it strange how there's been no talk from Cocu after yesterday, no explanation as to why Holmes, Wisdom, Rooney or Waghorn didn't play either. Something isn't right at the minute.

Kernow Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 4 minutes ago, hintonsboots said: I would say he’s 5 10. I known him since he played youth football with one of my boys. His height is my only issue, but he’s a solid keeper, another from Exeter’s academy. He’s a good half a foot taller than Keir Starmer though.? If we were focussed on going for a mid-20s keeper from the South West then Walton would be the best bet by a mile. But this is all irrelevant really because we’re getting a mid-30s keeper from Scotland instead, and he’s a big improvement which is the main thing.

Marshall will be a great signing I hope it’s happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like last year when the fixtures were announce and Frank didnt comment on them. It was completely obvious he was leaving, but fans still clung onto the fact he was on holiday and was just too busy. Stuff like that doesnt happen, the manager always adds a few words on the fixtures. So, Cocu will be vocal tomorrow I'm sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 There is no real reason to make an announcement on the day the player signs, if you really think about it. Why rush? Maybe they want to have a proper interview ready; or put together something for the announcement. Maybe they just don't feel like announcing it. Who cares? He's coming to us. If it had collapsed, Percy would have said so - zero reason for him to not and he would know if it had happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll never admit as such but it’s been hugely hinted at before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an EFL charge hanging over our club. The reason to announce a signing is to give the club's fans something to cheer about, a morsel to be excited about, a glimmer of hope. Compare with the signing of Colin Todd at the time of the Rolls-Royce crisis and the hope that gave the people of Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if I was the one deciding, and on one hand I had that reason while on the other I couldn't be arsed... the announcement is coming on Friday instead.

MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks like it's tomorrow according to Steve Nicholson. Hopefully just after we get found not guilty and he's stood there with both middle fingers up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had this with other players sometimes they wait if there are more signings or for a press conference day . Not overly worried yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
