I mean seriously.....how hard is it to check the facts ?  Coke says "oh yeah, i am a free agent" ....no one from the club actually checks that out until after the window closes and then when we want to sign him it turns out he isnt / might not be a free agent after all.

Will we ever learn ?!?

“ Hurst has told GrimsbyLive though that upon inspecting further, Coke remained registered to the league, which prevents him from completing a move to the EFL outside the transfer window, which ended on Monday.”

So presumably he could have been signed inside the transfer window?

Unbelievable.

Or come to think of it, this is GTFC so it is not only believable but almost expected.

It could be that Coke thought he was a free agent with a Covid release clause like LJL thought he had. With the amount of business going on late in the transfer window it probably didn’t seem a priority.

If Coke has been conned like LJL thinks he has, he will be in fact a free agent. A court could strike out the deleted clause if the player didn’t really sign it.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Shame really as he looks a unit and would fit well into the centre of our midfield with his experience. With Rose injured, we haven't got a lot of options for a crucial position. Everything seems to be going against us this season.

Shame for the player too as he is effectively out of work now.

It's a different situation to the LJL one. He's still registered as a NL player and therefore can't move to the EFL outside the transfer window. Had we known before the window, we could have transferred him.

The player was told he was a free agent when he in fact wasn't.
