Do we think the promotional material is delaying us from announcing any signings at the moment?[eh]

i was wondering about the new kit. Whilst this is an aspect of modern football i am not a fan of, it is unfortunately a very big deal these days and everyone else seems to have launched their kit and I am wondering where ours is, and I hadn't even thought about what you say but it may be true.

Players have individual contracts to, pure speculation but reading this about Lukaku it could have its complications..

I notice our club website still displays adidas along with the club shop, I imagine its a complicated process.

Pretty sure Nike won't want new players being announced ahead of the deal kicking in. We probably have new players but play the waiting game. Politics.

Dan Levene was in talkshite earlier saying exactly that, as soon as the adidas deal expires there'll be a big launch with the new signings

When Ballack joined the club, I 'd heard that was part and parcel of the adidas deal back then - they wanted their poster boy and German national captain at the Bridge so he came along with the shirt deal. So much more involved than just cash buying

I think it's got something to do with signings on or after 1st July, goes on next years accounts, when we will have the nike deal, CL football etc so all about balancing this year's and next year's books.

Seem to remember the same happened with costa.
