Re the quarantine period - why is this necessary if he has negative tests? Just seems like us that do it. Everyone else signing seem to play straightaway. Odegaard was on Arsenals bench Tuessay - why didn't he have to quarantine? Diagne played for West Brom after coking in on loan. They had all been part of COVID bubbles.

I don't think he'll have been on bread and water though mate. True, but he may have planned on four or five more years of making hay He’s on a fraction of his Everton wages, but still a princely sum!

Just hope whoever does his medical is not the same person that did Ward's.

Looks like it’s true after all. Signed. Still nowt on the OS. I think it'll happen (& unless there's a better option that I've missed we'd be daft not to), but until it's officially confirmed I'll remain sceptical.

The guy is a free agent so as not been working within any bubble so needs too spend 2 weeks in quarantine. Really dont understand these rules. Not in a bubble = less contact with people = should be at less risk. As I mentioned above, negative test means negative, regardless of a club or free agent. Corona doesnt say 'this guy was unemployed, I will attack him instead of the other who was employed' I understand this has nothing to do with the club. But does it make sense to any of you? Could be a false negative. If there's not enough virus in his system (yet - e.g. if he's only just contracted it) then he potentially infects everyone at the club. Even if that was a load of bollocks, them's the rules & we'd risk a fine and points deduction if he played when not eligible.

Diagne played for West Brom after coking in on loan. They had all been part of COVID bubbles. Still makes zero sense. In a bubble you are at more risk of contracting Covid. Just because you have constant testing doesnt mean you cant be positive the day after a negative test. Niasse coming over as a free agent has had less contact with people and will still get a test on arrival. If this is negative, it doesnt mean he is more or less likely than anyone in a COVID bubble to contract or pass it on. Another example - Thomas Tuchel. Was unemployed. He went straight into chelsea training ground and has been at games since his arrival?

Oh I fully agree, I stated earlier that I know it's nothing to do with the club. It is more of an open question to how other people view this situation. The rules dont make sense in the overall scheme of things

He went straight into chelsea training ground and has been at games since his arrival? Has he? I would suggest that he's probably had contact with different people. Specifically, people who are not subject to the rules they would be if they were in an Elite Sports Bubble, as opposed to those who are. I have no explanation for the Tuchel thing though.

Considering the amount of people someone in a sporting bubbles comes into contact with. Let's take Toffolo for example, all the squad, all the coaches, opposition etc. Probably looking at 30+ people a week, if not more. All these people then go gome to their families, it's a domino effect. Myself as a normal human come into contact with 2 people in my home and a friend I meet to go running with. Just depends on whether he has adhered to the rules or not. Personally, I dont think it should matter whether a player has come from a club or not. I know many will agree, many will disagree. Part of opinions.

Be as sceptical as you want, tbh I was totally disbelieving of this until I was told this yesterday by 100% reliable source. Fact is, there were no plans to recruit until results towards back end of the month have clearly spooked Phil into emergency measures.

Hope it’s true but .... 2 weeks in quarantine , maybe 2 weeks after to get up to speed, IF he’s signed and IF he’s fit in few weeks maybe we will get 7-8 games out of him ... better than none agreed but let’s see what date he actually hits the grass

Why the delay Maynard? Was it because he wasn't our first choice? Is he fit enough to come straight into the side?

But, as Maynard says in talks from a week before deadline, which still suggests a reaction to adverse results throughout the month/lack of strike force has prompted a change of plan. Let’s just hope this guy is up to speed in good time and has remembered how to score a goal.

The more i read about this guy and from what i remember watching him play the more i think he’s what we need.
I’ve got him down as very much like Campbell in that he’ll put all the work in but probably won’t score many. So like Campbell would split the fans.
I think he plays more running towards the goals where we have Campbell playing away from it.
I’d be well happy with this signing particularly if it included an option for next season.

He comes across as a player who could be a real asset if things fall right. I assume the delay is negotiating the contract, which may be short term with possible add ons if he does well. Having someone to take the weight off Campbell must be worth doing I would have thought. Sounds like he has the strength and combative attitude the Championship requires as well. Will he score goals though?

They had all been part of COVID bubbles. Still makes zero sense. In a bubble you are at more risk of contracting Covid. Just because you have constant testing doesnt mean you cant be positive the day after a negative test. Niasse coming over as a free agent has had less contact with people and will still get a test on arrival. If this is negative, it doesnt mean he is more or less likely than anyone in a COVID bubble to contract or pass it on. Another example - Thomas Tuchel. Was unemployed. He went straight into chelsea training ground and has been at games since his arrival? Surely the point of a ‘bubble’ is to minimise the amount of people you come in to contact with and even try and control it? ie even have a contractual arrangement around peoples behaviour. Seems a fairly straight forward concept

Seems a fairly straight forward concept That's what they make you think. Think of your day today, will you have come into more or less contact with people than a footballer? A town player today will have been with around 20 players and 10 or so staff, whether that is travelling to Luton or training. Tomorrow they will then be in contact with a referee and the opposition. Myself and many other may have been in contact with a handful of people. Hope you dont think I'm trying to cause a stir. I really am not. It was something I thought of regarding Niasse and quarantine. And then Tuchel at Chelsea. Same scenario, different rules.
