I wish I had some news for you and everybody else, but what I can tell you is that Craig is working extremely harding at possibly finalizing a deal, and hopefully something can be announced relatively shortly. I know Craig is working tirelessly right now.
You have to go through a lot of channels to get a deal done. Hopefully everybody can come together and reach a conclusion shortly.
It's not always easy for the team or the player, but we'll bring him in at the right pace and at the right time. It's never easy to adjust to a new team and a new style of play, but when you're adding this kind of quality, it's easier.
I have a relationship with the agent, as Craig does as well. That makes it easier in the process. Whenever you're involved in other leagues and other federations, it takes a little time. These are never done over night.
...
I think it could be any time now. I could get a phone call from Craig at any point. We’re far along. He’s a very good player.
He’s played at several big clubs, still in the prime of his career, and has played in championships. This is a player we all believe can come in and make an impact on our team.
