They've never actually mentioned the Corendon Cup again since Leicester won it have they?
No I think it was quite embarrassing the whole presentation etc. would’ve been better having a few teams involved rather than a 1 off game
 
Appreciate any and all insights, but when they have such a low hit rate it doesn't seem any more valuable that any other rumour.

I could say that Millar is signing tomorrow and it feels just as likely as howden saying two were signing today, or M88 saying Greaves was going to a London club, or Newcastle saying bree was the RB. As someone said, these are decent posters, I think it's wherever they get the info that's having them on.

I can't recall the last name/signing genuinely broken on here that wasn't just someone saying "ah yeah that story that's already broken is one I knew about". Which is fine but hardly practical.

Yeah I always add I never know if my source is having me on. Mine realistically should know so I post it anyway but he’s had my life a few times but willing to take the risk as when he owes me money like he does now he tends to move away from taking the piss.<laugh><laugh>

He told me about Walter before he was rumoured and also Vinagre before he got signed last season so his source is decent but he is a very unserious guy so it hardly surprises me when it doesn’t come off

The Greaves to West Ham info came from Greaves’ Dad. I trusted it :emoticon-0102-bigsm

It's all good fun isn't it , to be perfectly honest we're all just guessing
 
ST is clearly a decent bloke the person feeding him bollox is the one full of ****.
To be fair an agent told me he expected a certain player to be announced today. Maybe it fell through, maybe the club are saving it for gameday tomorrow or maybe they have run into issues. Either way I think it is a bit harsh to be having a pop at Mr Toast. I've never seen him write in a bragging way that he knows something others dont. He generally shares info that is followed by 'I've been told' which is fair enough. Nobody in their right mind would hang their hat on his every word.

I was told Cooper was a done deal, I put a fair chunk of cash on him being the next manager and then spoke to the person who is very closely linked to Cooper to be told he turned us down as he is watching the Premier League clubs merry go round and hoping for one of them. I knew excatly how he would have got that info from Cooper himself so know it was nailed on at the time but things change.

Other than Big Vern nobody can have concrete info re-signings simply because the process itself can change with one phone call, one failed medical, one other club gazumping us. Vern obviously has their kid in the inner circle so his info is a little more current and accurate.
 
Just watching the Liverpool pre season game, it's odd to see Carvalho playing wide, as it nullifies his goalscoring but he's not a creative no.10 so it's understandable. But he's not really been involved since I've started watching.

Nyoni has just come on and he looks fantastic, he's only 17 so it's interesting to see how his development goes. A potential loanee down the road

EDIT: Morton had a very good half, he looks a lot better playing alongside more technical players.

Re potential loans for us, Doak has been lively but he's very young & possibly Bajcetic, he'll need games after missing all last season. The rest just look too raw, but there are a fair few that would be good loans in a year or two. The lad McConnell we've been linked with has missed out through injury.

When he joined us and people said he couldn't play wide I found it surprising as he'd played there quite a bit for Liverpool. Regardless of whether it's his most effective position he certainly has experience there.
 
8918 comments and only 1 signing.

If we want 10 signings then the law of proportional ratio (or summat) necessitates an increased comment to signing rate of magnitude 10.

89180 comments needed.


Keep going everyone.
Well this post is totally flawed.... It's 2 signings and don't have the same stupid arguement regarding Giles (he wasn't our player/ registered with us last year and he is now) and it's a transfer thread not an incomings thread.
 
Oh how quickly they grow up.

I get told stuff, I pass on what I think I can pass on without crossing the line I'm told not to cross. I mean mental health wise, I should just keep the info to myself because even though I know nothing I'm told is nailed on, it's me that gets the flack from you lot if it doesn't happen. Yet I do it anyway, partly because I know there's a lot of anxiety about signings and there isn't much anybody can do about it, but mostly because like any other human, it doesn't feel good to know stuff and not share it when it's important to a lot of people. My mate knows this, he knows what I'm like (ADHD be damned) and he's already told me he doesn't tell me anything vastly important because he knows I can't keep it to myself. So what I am told I know I can share and yeah, I'm told more than I do share on here, but when you're chatting with somebody you've known for two decades, you tend to get lax in casual moments and spill more than you should. Nevertheless, I've always respected the line he drew when he first started telling me stuff and I've only crossed it once and got into trouble in the 2016/17 season.

This transfer window hasn't been brilliant for fans because it looks inactive, it makes the friendlies against bigger opponents a waste of time for the club and for the players because these games shouldn't just be about minutes in the legs, they should be tactical matches against tough opposition that allow us to find mistakes and rectify them. So I understand that people are angsty, they want to see progress because the current squad is weaker than the last one and would be shot to bits.

But if we're getting into messenger shooting, put me against the wall and pull the trigger. From now on, I'll just do it via DM.
Most people appreciate the information you give us, but I can fully understand why you'd want to give up sharing, as the few who think it's an English Literacy exam want to discet every word you write and then try to interpret into anything other than what has been said, or try and call you out if it doesn't come off or it's not done within 5 minutes of you posting it!!
 
The Tan post is interesting. Surely his cryptic message is about a player and it must be 99% done for him to post anything. He is fully aware of the fans clamour for signings and he doesn’t strike me as someone who would be blind to whats been said on social media.
 
Imagine the Chernobyl on here if we were hearing nothing... something that just raised the excitement bar a little. I welcome M88, HT2 and ST knowledge and its with hope they ignore the naysayers on here and give the majority of us something to look forward to, whenever it happens.
wtf does che
