Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redland Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share 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 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share 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.

In the meantime I still don't know where we stand with this "pre contract agreement" - hence the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always announced the pro signing of our other academy youngsters in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambessey Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share 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 Report Share 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.

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted February 19, 2007 SC&T Board Members Report Share 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.

Ecko Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
