You are quite right, I apologise. Have just re-read the Argus article and they announced it when he signed and not when he joined. Oops. The deal was struck a long time before that though but was announced when he signed. I will get someone to spank me later!
I have no idea what benefit keeping it quiet would be. But as far as I know, that is precisely what they did with Toko. Perhaps you can enlighten me then if this is not correct.
It was announced when his contract ran out at Grasshoppers. The deal was done, 100%, no gazumping possible, months before. So not nonsense at all.
I am just pointing out that the club does everything as much as possible in secret. So no news does not mean that nothing is happening. It would be...
So for all we know, the club may keep schtum until July 1st then. They do not like to do their transfer business in public and after last years gazumpings, they will be even more secretive I would think.
This will not satisfy many, but we just have to trust that the wheels are firmly in motion...
