The twittersphere is very quiet on any news today, unlike last week. I'd hazard a guess thats because noone has a clue what his decision might be

No, he didn't. He said he'd make his decision last week, the lack of official word leads us to believe that a) he's still having difficulty making his decision or b) things are taking time to happen behind the scenes with contract negotiations etc.

You should be a politician.

or c) that he has already signed an agreement and it is not in the player’s or present club’s interests to release the details.

That's my thinking, but they can only hold out so long.

Nope - not option C for me. If Kyle had signed an agreement with Union - be it Bath or Sale - the rugby union lot would have made sure by now that it was 'leaked' to the press. For me option A is the most likely - he hasn't decided what he wants to do.

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Wed Feb 23, 2011 4:47 pm  

more like his agent is negotiating (wheeler dealing) to get his client a bigger wedge which means a bigger share for the agent - i'm afraid it's all about dosh and not love for one team or another - why would anyone blame him ?

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:01 pm  

Or D) He's signed a new deal with Saints and they're waiting until pre-game with Wire to announce it.

Having been away for several weeks I have not had chance to trawl through this whole thread so dont scream if this has already been covered.

If Eastmond goes on a free at the end of the RL season (Oct 2011) he will probably not be ready to play Union until early 2012 at the most optimistic. So Bath or wherever will not get anything back for their investment probably till the start of the 2012/2013 Union season.

That would appear to be good grounds for a transfer now for all parties with suitable re-investment of said funds in the Saints squad in terms of Transfer fee and Eastmonds wages.

Again sorry if repeats.

To me he is as good as gone now, I really don't think he will stay and if this is so and Bath want him now will they have to pay us a fee plus the remainder of his contract? As if he is to go I think we should try and keep him untill the end of the season while we scout our options for a replacement
