Why do people get so bothered about posters like Ronnie Moore? Just ignore him if you think he’s posting nonsense. Honestly this thread has been a car crash all summer, used to be quite fun checking into the rumours thread in years gone by but its just silly squabbling with no actual rumours.
This. He's posting rumours on a rumours thread. And people are getting angry about it. Ffs. If his pists annoy you, ignore them. He 's done nothing to merit some of the shit slung his way.
but they are not rumours just made up bollocks and then when he says it was in the local Plymouth rag it quite clearly wasn't so more made up bollocks. I'm all for people posting actually rumours/whispers that may have heard from somewhere or other but to come on and just make things up?

Not really rumours but re-iterating what the media were saying a couple of days ago:
SLP - Adkins to decide on midfielder.
Adkins says he has yet to decide as to whether the club will take a look at trialist Madger Gomes again in their pre-season game against Fulham on Saturday, during a recent interview with the South London Press.
The 24-year-old midfield player is currently a free agent after leaving Doncaster Rovers this summer and has featured in each of the club’s last two friendly games.
However Adkins was coy when asked if the Spaniard will feature for his side at Craven Cottage this weekend, as he stated the following:
We’ll talk about it. He’s (Gomes) done well again. It’s not easy when you come in on a trial basis.
“He’s fitted in really well but he’s shown again today that he does have quality.”
Herald Scotland - Ipswich nab Addicks target
Charlton were dealt a blow yesterday after Ipswich Town snapped up one of their apparent transfer targets by signing George Edmundson from Rangers.
As previously reported by Herald Scotland, the centre back was said to be a target for the Addicks, Sunderland and Portsmouth before he completed his move to Portman Road yesterday.
Adkins is now expected to switch his attentions to other targets, with the club still looking to improve various areas of the squad.
Edmundson has signed a four year deal with the Tractor Boys.
Hull Live - Addicks rival Hull City for Sheffield United man
The Addicks are also said to be rivalling Hull City in the race to sign Sheffield United midfielder Regan Slater this summer, as per a recent report by Hull Live.
Hull had originally lodged a bid for the 21-year-old, before the move was blocked by Slavisa Jokanovic following his arrival at Bramall Lane.
Adkins is said to be keen on bringing the player to South London, however the report goes on to state that a move to Charlton may be unlikely.
Slater was part of the Hull side which won the league last term.

I think that was Addick59 who also posts made up nonsense.

The sad reality is, for multiple reasons, not everyone is going to ignore posts like this. Due to this, the constant posting of completely made up or very tenuous rumors to say the least, end up changing the discourse of the thread for the worse.
It is no surprise that this years rumors thread, which every year has the same cycle of argument anyway, has been the worst in recent memory since the poster in question has returned to the boards.
Our best starting eleven, including the injured Purrington, looks pretty good for Third Tier. We also have decent replacements for several positions although we don't know how long Gilby will be out for and probably have to wait until January before JFK returns. Plus, no-one knows if Schwartz will make the grade and unfortunately we suspect Innis will get injured sooner rather than later going by his track record. After what happened to us in the Championship 19/20 season I think we are all fraught that injuries will wreck our promotion challenge hence the furore on this Rumours (or lack of Rumours) thread. IMO we must sign another left back/wingback and have proper cover for Innis although I hope young Deji can get a run out in the lesser cup games. Clayden might be able to cover for DJ but for me the big query is whether Schwartz can step in for Washington or Stockley? If not we need another striker. We shouldn't rely on Davison as third choice striker.
Think he's done tbf - the head injury he suffered was pretty terminal.

We all thought that we would see new signings either with the kit launch or the training day! Neither happened which has really put expectations into check.
Looking at previous posts...Maybe the reason we have not signed all the other players (that other teams have signed), is because we weren't interested in them, in the first place?
NA will have a way of playing, a structure. We will therefore buy/loan players who fit into that system. SG will know each player of their strengths and weaknesses, and whether or not they fit into NA's system.
All of the players listed on the previous 500 pages...some we all think are good, some are bad. Either way, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be very good/bad for us.
SG, I would be tasked to find players to suit a way of playing. SG to find the players that fit the system, not find the system once you have recruited a random set of 'good players'.
If we just 'scatter gun' and bring in quantity, and not quality, this is when you can start accumulating "deadwood" on expensive contracts. All of which, is a waste of money, and isn't sustainable.

If your going print rubbish get your facts right .. that was not me so I expect an apology don’t expect I get one from someone hiding behind a keyboard
Any news on the Geoff Cott signing I keep hearing about?
Even if Jephcott has been a target which I doubt I think the money Plymouth are looking for is way too much. I don’t think Plymouth are skint either so I can’t see a game of who blinks first working in his case.

I tried hiding behind a keyboard once it is blooming hard, you don't realise how small they are until you try.

Do you really want someone to go through and highlight all the made up nonsense you have spouted though?
We all thought that we would see new signings either with the kit launch or the training day! Neither happened which has really put expectations into check.
Of course we didn't, this is a rumours thread, not fact, just wait until its official, what does it matter if no-one knows in advance who our signings are going to be, relax, it will come, probably on last day of window though imo.

Speak for yourself laddie. I said a few weeks ago that it has been made pretty clear that some of the U23's will be used this season. Once again it was shown today at the Training Day who is going to be around the first team squad this season. The main ones I reckon will be Deji, Dempsey & Claydon - Morgan is obviously now a first teamer.
I expect another 4 loanees in - we always like to fill our "quota". But this will mostly come in at the end of August. I'm not expecting a marquee signing or anyone of note. Might be a player not previously mentioned on here (like with both Dobson & Clare) that will do ok, but for me the time has passed for a stand out player who will be a mainstay of team over 46 games. As a manager surely you want to get your core 15/18 players as a tight knit group before the season starts.

So where are these imaginary players that we are interested in, that every other club has missed?
I think the idea that we haven't been interested in ANY players picked up by other teams is fanciful.
It’s a rumours thread, he is posting rumours, whether they are true or figment of his imagination, stop reacting to it. I’ve come to learn to take everything with a pinch of salt on this thread.

Adkins has been here for about 5 months, unless he has just decided what system to play, they have had plenty of time to identify players that will fit said system.
If we could get one more in before next Saturday, someone who can play across the front three, that would be spot on. However, Washington has looked very sharp the whole pre season and has solidified that position on LW.

Loved to be proved wrong of course.

Well, if he has, then Dempsey will have done it on merit.
Dempsey has just had 18 months playing senior football in the 5th tier.
That experience will be something that Vennings doesn't yet have.
