Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

The last couple of days on here have descended into a Pure Football parody.

For me personally, this place has been a haven from the likes of RTG, Twitter etc. that are cesspits of negatively, point scoring and passive aggressiveness. It would be a real shame if the same became of here.

I’m just hoping the last couple of days have been a blip and we can get back to this place being the friendly, interesting and funny place to read and talk about the lads that it usually is.

 

Yeah I have a good feeling it could advance quick. Just need someone a bit more reputable to report on it

 

Where’s @Southern A when you need him? What a sad state of affairs.

 

I asked for the same analysis on existing players.

I'd be more suprised if you posted something vaguely positive, but no thats too much to ask

 

I agree. I’ve really enjoyed the thread. I hate dragging myself into arguments but that pissed me off today. Anyway I’m not entertaining it any longer myself. Back to what this thread is about

 

I think they hate this thread and want it to die

People post links, they cry that they're just random rumours made up by the media.

People post player analysis, they cry that you're a saddo who has too much time on your hands.

People post non-SAFC news, they cry despite there already being a dedicated SAFC only transfer thread.

 

Got to say I'm getting pretty sick of coming on here, seeing 10+ missed pages and getting excited just for it to be another argument. ****ing tedious.

 

Yeah we chose not to pay the release clause because we thought we could strike a deal below that, now that he's seemingly not signing a deal surely he goes somewhere.

 

I’m sick of having to defend myself!

 

I done a fair bit of it on the football data thread through the season. I'll post some on here tomorrow if people are genuinely interested.

 

I’d love to see it mate

 

Yes i am genuinely interested on it.

Its one thing posting loads ona player we might not sign, but the same analysis on existing players might show old farts like me things we have missed or dont see.

But thats taken as a dig and blown out of all proportion

 

The lack of solid transfer news or activity has created a vacuum and this is the ****e that fills it. Makes grim reading.

There’s a couple of fairly dominant (though opposing) cliques on here and they’re both as bad as each other and both equally as lacking in self awareness.

Roll on the next solid link or transfer, for the sake of the team but equally for the sake of this board and some of its posters’ sanity.

 

Just to play devil's advocate I thought you just said it was sarcasm and that you didn't actually? Maybe you were on about a different thing.

 

I was being sarcastic when I suggested the poster should tell the club.

I was being serious when I suggested doing the same for existing players.

But because as usual anything vaguely questioning is assumed to be a dig, it gets lost and people's back get up

 

FWIW I posted data on Patterson on this thread before

 

Alright cheers, wasn't totally clear.

 

Agreed. Becoming more RTG like everyday

a few posters full of self ****ing importance imo.

wind yer ****ing necks in man.

 

Unfortunately as it was assumed to be a dig at him, I had multiple replies and it got messy and argumentative.

Now as seen above, there is an analysis of patto on this thread apparently, but as its usually page after page of rumours, it probably needs its own thead, but I dare not suggest that as thats probably wrong as well

 

Friday night was the worst. Was about twenty pages so I was sure there must have been a Romano or Sacha tweet or something amongst it all but nothing at all.
