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.
This is spot on, we have missed out on ONE first choice player to a league 1 club. One we really wanted. TWO have gone to the championship, both to Birmingham.
Within 48 hours of knowing we missed out on our 1st choice keeper we moved and got our second choice. We got our first choice center back in, and had to be imaginative to do so. We got our 1st choice center forward, despite some, if not all, of the other big clubs wanting him.
See, this is very logical and (in my mind) backs up my theory. If we'd been after x,y or z then we would have got them. We weren't....so we didnt. Not saying there isn't a player we are still hoping to do a deal for (Kirk maybe) but TS is not going to push the boat out, despite what he has said over the past 10 months. If the selling club relents at the 11th hour, then great. If not its onto the loan market.
Well, that's my theory anyway and stacks up because we really haven't been linked with anyone, despite needing a big overhaul of the squad. No leaks from the club....no snippets from those ITK. Even Peter O'Rouke and Alan Nixon have been rather quiet.
How soon before we signed Famewo, Clare and Dobson were we linked with them in the media (not counting fans speculating about Famewo)? I’m sure it was either hours or a few days at most. Only Stockley and CM were linked weeks before we signed them.
A lack of media speculation isn’t proof we’re not trying to sign players (and yes it isn’t proof we are either).
I suggested a few weeks ago that the new regime and management weren't as cosy with the media as previous ones specifically in relation to our targets. There were a number of reasons why the former outfit wanted us to believe that we were after x, y and z even though we were never in the hunt for them and as many reasons why the new one does not want such information leaked until the deal is more or less done.
We desperately need an attacking left back to provide width down the left hand side, if we are going to play Washington as a left sided attacker, as he's not a winger. His natural game is cut inside onto his right foot, and needs an overlapping full back to create some space for him

There might be truth in that but we’re not even seeing much speculation coming out from other clubs, e.g. SLP equivalent for the clubs we’re making offers to, or agents via Peter O’Rourke. You’d think that would be out of our control.
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?
Also announced that Mullin and Tucker had both signed. There was someone else as well (can't remember who) but when he signed for another club he claimed he'd only posted it as a joke
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
Ha ha an ironic post coming from you, but yes ok i realise it wasn't you so my apologies for saying you did.
Looking forward to you posting the links to the reports about the 2 strikers we made substantial bid for. I'll probably be waiting a while.

We shouldn't be going into the start of a new season without a LB or an another winger. We needed cover for Purrington before he got injured......its now twice as important. Also, relying on Washington to play "wide" or trying to use Claydon as the other winger is just asking for trouble imo.
I will be giving my full verdict/opinion on the squad next Friday in the match preview thread. Hoping by then we would have at least filled 1 of these issues.
You lot need to grow up, sniping at fellow lifers. If you don't like what they say ignore them. This thread is getting like the Charlton fans Facebook page.
So what is the reason for waiting? We know Nigel wanted the squad in place for pre season games and whatever way you cut it, we need a number of players. Is it that Thomas doesn’t want to pay agent fees, that players are waiting to receive the final month’s salary from a previous contract and/or better loan players become available at the end of the transfer window? Or is it a reluctance to pay transfer fees? (Yes I know we spent money on Clare and Stockley).
This isn’t a dig before the masses pile on with yet more ‘everything will be fine, stop moaning!’. Just interested.
My guess is, and it's just a presumption, NA's budget is not as big as he was expecting.
Unlike small clubs like Accrington Stanley/Crew etc, CAFC with higher expenses cannot afford to hang around in this shit league. So it makes sense, at least to me that we will invest in 1 or 2 quality players.
I live close to Plymouth and work there and nothing has been mentioned here not locally or in the nationals, so I am afraid it is all a bunch of fabrication to put it nicely

We need a mute button like Twitter, then everyone can avoid who they want, lucky it doesn't exist as otherwise I would be conversing with myself now.
Oh god please let us not lose to Sheffield Wednesday next Saturday. The justified celebrants of doom (band name copyright:me) will be something to behold.
Yeah, and Bartrams will be renamed Doom Bar. Guess which Cornish beer will be the only drink they'll be serving?
Right I am just going to leave it now and ignore him. Everyone knows every word is bullshit so there is no point going on about it.
But one last thing, Ronnie, Colin or what ever your name is, if your going to use another forum to slag this one off make sure no-one spammed a link to every member of this site a few days ago!

Proper Job?
They can serve Proper Job when we win. Proper Job!

Neither Oggy, CornwallAddick or Telly Tubby have a posting history that can be construed as bullying.
I hope that forum does well as it's good to be able to see different views across different forum platforms.
