  • Just relax and enjoy the ride.

    I honestly can’t believe people are getting upset because we haven’t signed 12 players in the past 24 hours because Adkins said “watch this space”!
    Is anyone upset?

    No one is getting upset! Jesus the wild extremes of CL. You are allowed to comment, that’s rather the point. Adkins said it’ll be an interesting three days. We’re one and a half into that and nothing’s happened. It’s quiet. That’s all anyone has said. No one is ‘wetting the bed’
    Speak for yourself.


  • When is the deadline for players to be signed up to play tomorrow? You’d think we’d want them to get some game time ASAP. 
  • I see that Ipswich have signed their second goalkeeper of the window, after the first one they spent a load of money on flopped and has been discarded already.


    That is quite mad. Scatter gun approach in the current climate is unusual.

    I think it is today.

    I think Adkins meant it’ll be an interesting three days for him and his staff, rather than us. Could be last minute announcements for all we know. 
  • what's the betting it is Arter?

    Think he is just waiting for his mum to pick him up from Reading.... 
    not another Roddy. 
  • Here is some info on Arter....... I didn't know he had a stillborn.  Looks like his partner and him want to move back to London.

    I've got zero info, and I don't normally bother with random social media rumours, but that one earlier that Arter had failed a medical just sounded unusually plausible to me.

    Which means in half an hour, he will be announced  :D

    A move of convenience, just like Watson? It won’t work out for us if the hunger and/or his legs have gone.
  • Personally I reckon he’ll be up for it. 31 it won’t be his legs.
    Desire you can never judge but he had no connection to Forest.
    Bournemouth made his career, Fulham he was playing for his brother in law who in his early days, made him stay in football after being released by us.

     Rotten liar . He should  have said it will  be an interesting last day, well a last few hours. 
    If you could go a few hours without making an arse of yourself that really would be interesting. Not holding my breath though.

    How gutted must their fans be.

    I love this thread though it will be thoroughly spoiled if something does happen tomorrow.

    Any chance of the bigwigs on here setting up an actual signings thread so we can preserve this one for inane rumour-mongering (which I really do like)?
  • I'm guessing we'll sign Eaves as a back up to Stockley. He did well for the Gills so maybe that would work out for us.

    Is Tom Eaves coming in a genuine rumour?

    It's a fair point about Pearce but playing style doesn't necessarily transfer to coaching.

    George Graham the manager would never have picked George Graham the player, for example.

    John Beck is one of the FAs lead coaches of the UEFA coaching badges and I haven't seen a team play like his in over 25 years. 

    Charlton v Cambridge at Upton park is still one of the strangest games of football I have witnessed in my life for tactics.

    When Cambridge kicked off, they went for touch. Young Dion Dublin was the small man up front at 6ft 2'' and senior George Reilly was 6ft 5" alongside.  John Beck got two Promotions for Cambridge and nearly took them all the way to the newly formed Elitist League called the Premier.

    Didn't realized he was teaching Uefa B coaching since 2013. That would have been an interesting Job interview when they asked what is your Philosophy on how the game should be played ?
    I saw us play them at Cambridge. In each corner of the stadium there was a giant X. 
    Every ball was launched like a rocket down the Chanel's towards the X and crosses bombarded our penalty area. Strange way of playing but effective. 
    Look where they ended up.
  • If we could get Tucker and Dempsey and another striker, It won’t be a bad transfer market after all.!

    I thought someone here just said “we could do worse than signing Eaves…”, not sure if it’s actually been rumoured anywhere that we are actually considering it. 
  • Why do people think we are after Tucker?
  • If we could get Tucker and Dempsey and another striker, It won’t be a bad transfer market after all.! 
    Only one more space on registration and that's without Arter. I'm not sure the solution to that - I'd imagine Schwartz would be the first to get the chop, possibly Pearce stepping aside if Tucker came in? If he's a future coach at the club I'm sure he wouldn't mind and would still play every cup game if he wanted to (I think it's seperate registration)? The alternative is to cancel the CBT contract as he seems to be a wasted space but it would be incredibly harsh to ruin his chance at a new club ( though as a free agent he could sign elsewhere ).
