I feel the same. If Hamer is in the country and waiting his quarantine clearance before his medical, we won't hear anything till mid-July. Same with O'Hare, lot of talk prior to his contract ending. Now it has, all has gone quiet. MR and his team are doing the right thing and working away from the press and headlines, unlike many times in the past when managers have been too keen to talk and players have been announced before they've even spoken to the club.
I’m already getting a feeling we are doing the same as last summer. Lining up all our transfer dealings as early as possible, then give the players a good time to train and bond. Very much looking forward to this summers activity.
I think technically O'Hare's contract doesn't finish until the end of the month so couldn't be announced yet anyway. You'd have thought the club would have given a test to Hamer rather than have to wait for quarantine to get the medical done.
I like the quiet way we go about our transfer business (usually) although I do find 'undisclosed fees' very frustrating. At the very least they should be able to be distinguished in the relevant accounts going forward so even if you don't tell the amounts for specific players you can work out the overall transfer fees over a year and say x,y and z were sold for a combined total of £m etc.
I thought clubs were free to talk to players in the last 6 months of their contract, Like how we signed/announced Rose last January, But he didn't join us until July 1st when his contract expired.

That’s the rule for international transfers (i.e. under different FAs) but I believe nothing can be agreed with English clubs until the last month of a player’s contract.
Nevertheless, we could sign O’Hare now but is it the intention to sign him once we know when the season will start?

That's why I'm dubious with some of these rumours. It's just not the way we have done transfers over the past few years. The first we hear about them is when they are signed. (Other than Chaplin)
Yep. With our season now over and no need to take time coaching etc., doubt he's stitting around. I imagine he's resourcing stats, videos, charts, liasing with the scouts etc.As long as Robins and co keep coming up with gems like Dabo and the likes he can keep it as secret as he wants
