Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Since Tristan hasn't signed and is looking elsewhere we seem to be in limbo. He's doesn't appear to be playing for us anymore. Now he's 17 does he remain on any sort of contract with City? Is he still training with us? I've read he signed a pre contract agreement but I'm not sure of the status of this. Anyone shed any light on the situation?
Rocky Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Where was all this reported?I haven't seen anything about him looking around or not playing for us anymore?
Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Where was all this reported?I haven't seen anything about him looking around or not playing for us anymore?He was expected to sign a pro contract last month on his 17th birthday but hasn't done so.
Dollymarie Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Tristan isnt going anywhere. One of the Mums at school works with the Youth team and hes all ours honest.
Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Hasn't he?The club haven't announced he's signed and various posts over the past few weeks have stated his agent is touting him around. Also there was a rumour Arsenal were interested but apparently they deny it.

Also there was a rumour Arsenal were interested but apparently they deny it.Please see above, he has signed for us I have it on very good authority. When school goes back after half term I will find out why it hasnt been publicised but she told me weeks ago it was all sorted.
Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Tristan isnt going anywhere. One of the Mums at school works with the Youth team and hes all ours honest. So exactly where do we stand in view of the fact he hasn't signed? Will he continue to play as "non professional"?
Dollymarie Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 So exactly where do we stand in view of the fact he hasn't signed? Will he continue to play as "non professional"?He has signed. Honest, I don't know why the club havent publicised it either, but she told me he had signed a pre contract contract with us, and on his birthday he would be signing the proper one.
Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 He has signed. Honest, I don't know why the club havent publicised it either, but she told me he had signed a pre contract contract with us, and on his birthday he would be signing the proper one. I will be delighted if he has signed, but I can't believe the club wouldn't have announced it if he had. It's good news - why keep it quiet?All the club has said is that is he signed a pre contract agreement. Since then ......silence.
Dollymarie Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Will find out when the kids are back to school, but I'm surprised they havent said anything yet either.

Nibor Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 The Arsenal thing was a hoax.Surprised his signing hasn't been announced but I doubt very much he would be going elsewhere at a young age when he has a good chance of first team football and is part of an academy setup here.
Dollymarie Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Thanks Dollymarie. Do you you know if he's still training with us?Well the lady who works with them and comes into school hasnt said he wasnt training with them any more thats for sure. I'm not one to make stuff up, and am as equally puzzled as to why it hasnt been announced.
samo Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 the boro replays, sag games and new singings from outside the club might have just forced this issue down the list abit.hope he has signed, as despite what a few people say about his attitude, he undoubted has real talent and hopefully GJ can sort his head out, if there is indeed a problem at all.

I'm not one to make stuff up, and am as equally puzzled as to why it hasnt been announced.No doubt all will be revealed in due course, but I honestly can't believe he's signed if the club haven't announced it. In the meantime I still don't know where we stand with this "pre contract agreement" - hence the original post.
Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 hope he has signed, as despite what a few people say about his attitude, he undoubted has real talent and hopefully GJ can sort his head out, if there is indeed a problem at all.So do I, but I can't think of a reason why a football club wouldn't announce a new signing to its shareholders and fans. We've always announced the pro signing of our other academy youngsters in the past.
RedLionLad Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 He wasn't in the U18 squad yesterday that beat MK Dons 4-3.
Guest Jamie Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Well I hope your right Dolly as we don't want to lose his for next to nothing and would love to see him in the squad come the end of the season with likes of Artus.
Guest sambessey Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Tristan Plummer is in Portugal with the England U 17 team I was watching the City- Boro match with him in the Holiday Inn in Maidenhead last week as they were playing warmup matches in the South East. That's the honest truth. He also gave Jennison Myrie- Williams' details to one of the coaches in the team who was asking about him, so he might get some kind of call up too soon.
Port Said Red Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Perhaps they didn't want to announce anything because it would increase the clamour on here for him to be included in the side or squad? GJ will want to blood him in his own time.If he is away with the U17's then they will want to wait until he returns and do the whole photoshoot thing.
Blagdon red Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Yes, he's in the Algarve - see the FA website. Tournament ends on Tuesday.NB: He is the ONLY player in the England U-17 squad at that tournament from a club outside of the top 2 divisions.

Guest robinmad Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 He wasn't in the U18 squad yesterday that beat MK Dons 4-3.who was in the under 18 squad ? who scored the goals ?
RedLionLad Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 who was in the under 18 squad ? who scored the goals ?Here's the report from the main site. It was a pretty good game.City 4 - 3 MK Dons
Ecko Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 He was told by BCFC that he would have to make a decision to sign the contract before Febuary 1st. Now this date has passed, BCFC have given him a further 2 months to make his final decision. The reasons why he hasnt already signed is because he wants to move to America and becuase of the contract offer from Arsenal.
Guest You Know I Am Right Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 He was told by BCFC that he would have to make a decision to sign the contract before Febuary 1st.

samo Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 and you know this how??I was about to ask the same question.And a move to America? Is any particular club interested in him?PS. He signed a pre-contract agreement, so would we get a fee if he moved, despte not actually signing a pro contract?
Longacre_red Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I was about to ask the same question.And a move to America? Is any particular club interested in him?PS. He signed a pre-contract agreement, so would we get a fee if he moved, despte not actually signing a pro contract?LA Galaxy? maybe he wants to play with Mr Beckham?!

No offence like, but your previous tips about academy players such as Cotterill being in talks with Blackburn and Artus to Newcastle weren't exactly on the money so I doubt very much this one is either. Why on earth would a young unproven footballer want to go to the USA? Doesn't make any sense.
Guest tinman11 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 that rumour about america si not true,i have a reliable source which tells me that he isnt intreseted in america he would rather stay over here
Portland Bill Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 that rumour about america si not true,i have a reliable source which tells me that he isnt intreseted in america he would rather stay over hereI was told by a good source that he wants to move to Iceland .
downendcity Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I was told by a good source that he wants to move to Iceland .As a freezer packer?
Dollymarie Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Spoke to my friend in school today and she said (and I quote)The club have offered him a contract, the Arsenal story was a hoax, and he is not going to America, however she did say that he had been listening to one too many agents who have distracted him from signing the contract as he thinks he may get other offers (which havent come in yet) The club have made it clear they want to sign him, and now they are just waiting for him to do so.Heres hoping hey!
Admin Phantom Posted February 28, 2007 Admin Posted February 28, 2007 aahh that would be the "infamous" agent who looks after Lita and Anyinsah...Are we saying there is no truth in the "runours" that he has been training with a certain team in London that the youth lost to in the FA Youth cup ??? - lets get him signed ... we need some good PR at the moment !

Dollymarie Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 She didnt believe that there was any truth in the Arsenal story, she said hes young, and people are putting ideas in his head, and he should really just hurry up and sign for us.

Whilst Tristan makes up his mind is he still training with us or playing for us?Also, if he doesn't sign where do we stand with this pre contract agreement?
Guest tommy doc Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Still not signed? We could do with another option up front.
Longacre_red Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Still not signed? We could do with another option up front.Am i the only person who thinks we shouldn't be held to ransom by some 17 year old who has only proved himself at reserve level?If he signs ye great, if he thinks he can get a better option somewhere else good luck to him, he can join, his bro, Marvin Brown and Joe Anyinsah on the 'to good for the club' list.
bh red Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 he played and scored in midweek, still no news about pro-contract yet, however apparently he is still contracted as an academy player until end of next season
Portishead Red Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Am i the only person who thinks we shouldn't be held to ransom by some 17 year old who has only proved himself at reserve level?If he signs ye great, if he thinks he can get a better option somewhere else good luck to him, he can join, his bro, Marvin Brown and Joe Anyinsah on the 'to good for the club' list.and aaron brown!
Redland Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 Even if Tristan does eventually sign it now appears it will be because his agent hasn't been able to get him a more attractive deal elsewhere. Hardly a sign of passion and commitment to City. From what I've read we are simply a fallback position so far as he is concerned.
