Does anyone know if a player with less than 6 months on their contract can sign a pre- contract agreement outside of the January transfer window?

Yes as long as it’s with a club for a different country or FA as far as I’m aware. At least that seems to be the general rule. Need to get the old law manual out!

Yes, as long as it is a non English side.

I think players can sign contracts with clubs at any time of the season, the issue is registration to play for that particular club. So yes a player with less than 6 months on his contract can sign a pre contract outside the jan window.

“I think players can sign contracts with clubs at any time of the season, the issue is registration to play for that particular club. So yes a player with less than 6 months on his contract can sign a pre contract outside the jan window. ”
Ed002 will correct me if I’m wrong, but players can sign for clubs at any stage of the season as long as the selling club agree to it. Registration can only be transferred during a transfer window.
When a player only has 6 months left on their contract they don’t need to seek the permission of their parent club to sign pre-contract agreements. If it’s within the same FA then a fee needs to be decided - either by agreement or by tribunal (eg Danny Ings)

Hi Ed's, I take it the James Rodríguez rumours are a load of crap as I can't see any reason why Bayern would cut their agreement short amongst other things?

It’s said he wants to join Liverpool to replace Coutinho, I can’t see it happening myself but I just thought I’d check.

Said by who?
Is that just desperation for a "big nsme" signing?
I doubt Klopp would take Rodriguez anyway.

I didn't expect us to do too much this January. Vvd was brilliant and pc was gutting. We need someone who can unlock a stubborn defence like pc could but will we do that today? Doubt it. Lemar is the one I wanted.

Goretzka now Demirbay, Klopp's looking for midfielders who shoot from distance.

I've often wondered why this isn't a skill all professional footballers possess? Surely if it's your job you practice until you hit the target 9/10?

Stoneage, that’s like saying they should all be able to use their weaker foot. Kind of seems they skip the basics (weaker foot, long shooting and DEFENDING) to mostly focus on fitness, passing, movement (and more) which is IMO ridiculous that they can’t do the basics considering the money they get paid xD
The Ox has got a cracking long shot on him sometimes, but his are more driven low with huge power than fly over the top of a whole team into the top corner, which is what we need for PTB teams.

Ed01, do you think Demirbay was a knee jerk thing, or do you think we will be back for him in the summer?

{Ed001's Note - he was not knee jerk, Klopp has been tracking him for a while. No idea if we will go back in a few month's though as a lot can change by then.}

I said his when Coutinho left, that is what we’d miss most, games like Swansea where pace makes no difference as the team sit so deep it’s that bit of magic from outside the box we need.

This "hitting the target" cliché is tedious and a product of the Andy Gray sky era. The first two yards distance travelled have far more bearing on whether long range shots are successful. Its about getting it past defenders legs or keepers range. That's why when you hear recent pros talking about shooting they talk of getting it between the legs or setting it outside the post.

Hitting he target is easy. They can hit the target easily. Having a meaningful effort eg a shot fly just wide or just over that the keeper was nowhere near is far better than a typical shot on target. To score from distance you have to hit it with conviction and you have to execute your technique. To hit a shot the keeper can’t save from distance requires all of this baring a keepers mistake. Shots on target another meaningless stat unless there’s context.

I read a stat somewhere about two weeks ago, Xhaka from Arsenal, had 37 shots from outside the box, only one goal, 3 guesses who he scored against .
