der Berliner 3,432 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yes, but we can't "buy" anyone untill January 2014 and Hearts may look for money rather than freed-up wages, I'd assume. (There is some irony in this ... the "newco club" saving the bankrupt Hearts' ar*es ... not that I see this happening.) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Can we not sign anyone we want be that paid for or free agents? We just can't register them until September 1st If a transfer fee is involved how do you get release from the selling club's Association though, given that it would be outside the transfer window ? If you cant register a player until September 1 the transfer window has closed on you, which is why I thought we could only snap up free agents in this window - because free agents can be signed outwith the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) If a transfer fee is involved how do you get release from the selling club's Association though, given that it would be outside the transfer window ?

Does the selling club not just release the players registration, we then sign them on a contract and register them on September 1st? That was my understanding of it. I could be wrong, but I always figured we could sign anyone we wanted just not register them Edited June 13, 2013 by Crimson Dynamo 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my understanding of it. I could be wrong, but I always figured we could sign anyone we wanted just not register them AFAIK there's nothing to stop us paying a fee to have a player made available on a free who we could then sign on a pre-contract. It would be a huge risk though as the pre-contract isn't worth the paper it's written on and the player would be free to sign for another club instead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thomas Rogne.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,432 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thomas Rogne.... Can't find him* in their squad, but one Danny Wilson. Methink I was saying something sarcastical when he signed for them a few weeks back. *Rogne ... is he not a "Celtic reject", as they say? Oh, he's about to become a freebie ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
