Regarding recruitment: what can be done now?
I know the window is not open yet but can we, for instance, enter a gentleman's agreement to come just as soon as it does open?
Can we put in place some legally binding agreement to come? Just not register it with the Prem.


What can't we do — agree or just register?
I feel there is certainly money to be saved by gambling early and securing targets before any World Cup appearance.

If I remember correctly the Ed's confirmed you can reach an agreement with club and player to buy but just not register yet. Spose would be at a premium fee.
As someone previously stated. Unless we looking at someone not involved in the World Cup, faff all will happen until after. Unless maybe they have a nightmare World Cup of course.
