Quote applehead="applehead"It was a testical drop again from the club to announce an agreement that was not set in stone. We are at present a bottom 4 club and not a top 4 club that Elliot stated he wanted to play for. End of. Looking forward to August to see who we have signed though.'"
Let's get this in perspective and with some timing.
It was on the 6th June that the transfer request was made public [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22795367HERE[/url and it would seem the request had been put in slightly earlier.
It was also,earlier,evening of Monday 3rd June,that Dr Koukash had informed supporters that progress was being made with regard to recruiting players for 2014 and some heavy hints were given out.
Nothing more was heard,but the usual experts were on the forums suggesting Salford would/could/should sign him if they had genuine 'top4' aspirations (and some money !)
Nearly a fortnight elapses and then [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22973218This[/url which brought more allegations from our all-knowing followers from around the M62.
I think we should have learned our lesson after the 'binding contracts' of players prepared to participate in winding-up orders when it comes to someone reneging on a 5 yrs contract.
We only need a strong squad of so many players.The richest sports clubs in the world don't sign every available player.
We can see how good he is at the next home game;Whitehead and Bousquet should be sufficient to have a song created to a nice French tune.
EDIT -
I have just come across this - [iA transfer tieing Whitehead to the Dragons until the end of 2015 was reached late last night, with Catalan chief executive Christophe Jouffret revealing [/i
[ihe agreed terms with Whitehead last weekend[/i, so while our club discuss with Bradford - the player deals with Catalans.
Bit of a mess - best just to deal with trustworthy players and agents.
