Appreciate we would down a list but didn't realise there would be a range of contracts offered out - interesting
They’ll be speaking with agents, and will broadly agree terms with various clients. Every club does the same. Otherwise if you don’t get your first choice, you won’t sign anyone. Every club has 2/3 months to do all of their business so it is chaos. All agents know this so they’re trying to get the best move they can for their player.

If you remember, we’d agreed terms with Doughty and when it was obvious Giles wasn’t coming back we pulled the trigger.
