Hey first time positing been a fan of the site for a long time.

The thing that has got me thinking is why out of all the players facing being out of cotract in the summer has pedro and his team not been able to tie at least one player. Surely the lure of European football and a potential title challenge be enough to pursade a number of players?

Or are we still waiting for this appointment of a Director Of Football? Warburton had managed to secure Windass and Crooks on pre contracts by now ( granted they ain't been great ) is something going on in the background blocking pedro?

Are you talking about tying up players already at the club, if so the only man worth a new deal got one and as for players at other clubs we can't until the window opens.

I am sure the post refers to out of contract players at other clubs.

Gary 75! Think the op means players out with Scotland . You can sign players outwith Scotland at anytime on a pre contract once they enter the last 6 months . So players due to be out of contract could be signed on pre contracts anytime since January.

Yeah but if we did maybe the clubs and players wouldn't want to announce it has that may hamper there end of season run in. Plus how much expectation did we have for crookes and windas and I know some on here think crookes is going to come into the team and be amazing but I feel they have been a total let down, and up until Saturday pedro would have been trying to get something out of what he has and announcing the replacements now may hamper our run in.

A wasn't sure if it was a cross border thing bennybhoy. A was just backing up the original post . Warbs had signed the Accrington boys knowing they were free in the summer on pre contracts . I also understand that the board will be waiting on Pedro choosing his own players . A think the op was suggesting offering contracts now to ensure they get players rather than waiting to the summer to scramble or miss out?
