Forget signings until July 1st

[Theythinkitsallover 0]

I noticed that you lot, and a lot of other clubs are looking forward to signing players from tomorrow. The signings cannot go through until July 1st when the transfer window opens . Any club can get a verbal agreement but it means nothing until July 1st and that includes out of contract players.

I think its june 1st isnt it?

as far as I know you can sign a player whenever you want but the transfer won''t actually go throught until the transfer window opens on July 1st.  e.g earnie''s move to forest is complete but he will officially be transferred on the 1st July!

July 1st

I can remeber Otsemobor agreeing the move earlier but couldnt complete it until July 1st

i thought people said it was june 1st when the transfer could go threw

A player can sign a contract tommorow but if he wants he can delay it until july 1st to see what else comes along. You cannot officially unveil a player until july 1st.

Guess it doesn''t really matter either way - it''s not as if we''re playing any games in the meantime.

[Theythinkitsallover 0]

It only matters if a player agrees verbally but hangs it out to see if a better offer comes in.

It also means that if we''re after out of contract players we''ll have to wait until after June 30th to get them on a free, because that''s when contracts usually expire.

Probably 1st August knowing our bunch....

[Theythinkitsallover 0]

Exactly. You can still sign them but as you know money is god so a lot of players will say yes but wait and see if other clubs come in before signing on the bottom line. It''s the same for all of us.

[/quote]Exactly. You can sign players in April, May or June, but the player only beceomes registered with the club on July the 1st. All contracts expire on the 30th of June.

Yes you can sign any player anytime of the year, but Players cannot be registered with a new club until July 1st - it is the same every season.

Wikipedia''s not always correct, of course...

[Branston Pickle 4,150]

There doesn''t actually seem to be a great deal of stuff on this - I looked it up last week and saw that it was June (on Wiki).  The FA site doesn''t have much, but certainly there was an article written in mid-June 2005 (I think) which babbles on about the window having been open a couple of weeks - ie it opened on 1 June.  The UEFA site doesn''t say much at all, but do a search on transfer windows and it shows this from January 2002 (re: standardising things):

"Summer and winter periods Europe''s national football associations are being recommended to introduce harmonised transfer periods for European professional football covering a summer period, from the end of the domestic season to 31 August, and a winter period running from 1 to 31 January. European football''s governing body said that appropriate provisions would be made for countries whose seasons run in accordance with the calendar year.  [It goes on to say that these would be from 1 July - but irrelevant as we don''t have a calendar year season]. 

Presumably this was refined but I''m boogered if I can find anything on it.

Put it this way.  If GR holds a press conference next week and says we have signed Wes Hoolahan/anyone else, we can take it that they will be playing for us.  Period.

Sorry but where does it say the 1st of June?

As far as i''m aware window opens when most european leagues ''officially'' start their new season. I.e. returning from international duty or holiday and preparing for forthcoming friendlies. So therefore the 1st of July. Anyone can be signed to a pre-contract agreement until the opening of the window.

Just thought I''d say my bit
