nah. Only foreign clubs. Domestic Clubs aren't technically allowed to speak to a player re: contract until a month before expiry, i.e May

sorry mate you are wrong:-
Free transfer (association football)
How it works
The club acquiring the player does not have to pay any compensation for their release due to having nothing left to pay on their contract, hence, the term free transfer. Some individual leagues have restrictions to protect academies. For example, in the UK, players under 24 who are out of contract are only available on a free transfer if released by the club holding the players' licence.

Another type of free transfer is when a player is transferred from one club to another for no price, sometimes a transfer for a nominal fee is credited as a free transfer.

With six months or less remaining on an existing contract for players aged 23 or older, they are free to negotiate with other clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement, indicating their ability to move to their intended club on a Bosman transfer once the next transfer window opens.

But where did you guys get this rumour from? I can't find it anywhere.

Jinkyali is 'sourced' or claims to be. Fairly bold claim of coming out this early and saying it but if it does happen, then I appreciate the info.
 
Last season before we signed Besic and Barry (perm) I was all for taking him if the price was right.

However now we have Ledson coming through, and Barry and Besic I just don't see why we would need him and his wages. Although as others have said if it happens then it will probably mean the end of Osman or Gibson and perhaps both.

I hope we don't build a big squad of average though. I would prefer to spend the money (including wages) on real quality and fill the squad out with kids. It is the only way of actually winning something because at some point you have to play the bigger teams and that's where you need quality.
 

If it's true, and let's be honest there is absolutely nothing to say it is, there will be some vaulting gold here ala the James McCarthy and Seamus Coleman threads.

Barry will only last a couple more seasons and I think Gibson is finished so to be McCarthy, Besic and Cleverley sounds pretty great as a future with the help of any kids coming through.
 
He will kick it up a gear and do very well for us. Playing for Villa this season is great for him as it gives him game time. The quality he has will get polished with us.

Good for all parties this move.

Did you just quote wikipedia at me mate?
I wish I had the football regulations at hand, but it is common knowledge that footballers playing for an English club on a contract that is expiring can only be approached by another English club to sign a precontract one month prior to the end of that contract. Anything prior to this is unlawful and prosecutions for tapping up can and will occur. However, foreign clubs can approach the player to sign within the designated 6 months.
This is the case.

you are correct mate, I should have known rules for the rest of the world do not apply to us.
Nothing wrong with quotations, but it is better if they apply to the subject.
Precontract should have a hyphen.
Seriously thanks for putting me right.
 
Surely Cleverly will be cover for Barkley and Naismith, maybe even Pienaar, on the left, rather than in central midfield with the likes of McCarthy. LAM and CAM have been his best positions under Martinez.

Yeah, I reckon he'll be pienaar/osman replacement. Would be happy if true, very much get the sense that he's someone who could really step up and stick it to the naysayers given the right management and opportunities.

Edit: plus I'd totally get behind him because I'd love him to be able to stick two fingers up at all the man u fans who shat on him for so long. And still do actually.
 
Good addition if true. It should have been done this season.

I can only think it means Osman or Naismith being moved out.
