Major Isewater Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 It must be great for his morale that he had to have a trial with little old Bristol City and that they are publicly searching to sign another keeper ! You probably not good enough Niki but if we can't find anybody else you'll do . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 2 hours ago, Top Robin said: From GrahamC : My guess is it is all done, a one year deal but there is absolutely no need to rush to publicise it. If its done why wouldnt they let us know? Look, it is just a guess. This guy has to decide if he wants to move both himself & his family to Bristol & we have to decide if we want him. All the signs from LJs comments are that we probably do, but he is already with us and got to know the other players/ coaching staff in Spain, so unlike making a signing from outside the club, there is no massive urgency. It is simply ridiculous for some to expect the club to keep us updated on a daily basis over a trialist. I’m sure it has dawned on them that the keeper situation needs resolving & I’d be very surprised if he hasn’t signed a deal by the Bournemouth game..

havanatopia Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 The less information the better to keep it secret and because our PR dept is a bit wet behind the ears to put it mildly. I am happy it stays infrequent; more of that the better all round I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why they wait until its all done and dusted! http://www.asroma.com/en/news/2018/7/monchi-explains-how-malcom-saga-unfolded Not saying Maenpaa is in as much demand, but best to avoid such embarrassment.

Not even sure they are the same Mäenpää is a free agent, and he can go where he likes. I think if this is going to happen it will be done by Friday as the season starts next weekend.

Ivorguy Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 4 hours ago, havanatopia said: Why? New EU security checks introduced this year to protect EU borders will apply to us, this will require payment and completion of online form giving details of us and the reasons for our trip which will lead to delays, the open skies agreement giving us cheap air fares will end, our EU health cards will cease to operate and lead to increased insurance costs, existing customs arrangements will end preventing us taking certain items into EU and bringing items back, plus increased customs checks at border as a consequence, no free movement across internal EU borders, e.g. between France and Belgium, and of course the general uncertainty of how specific countries will implement such changes. These and similar issues may in time be tackled but the initial post Brexit period is likely to be difficult and even when the dust settles we shall be in a far less advantageous position than we have enjoyed in most people's lifetimes. I for one will be avoiding EU holidays for a while until we see what the problems are.

They were that we bid, they considered then rejected it. There were literally no rumours say bid accepted, personal terms agreed or medical scheduled.
