Hard to say it’s not disappointing about Knibbs . However, Ownership + Jones proved we can trust them. So whether it’s us pulling out because of a medical issue or think there’s now a better way to reallocate budget or reading upping demands we aren’t prepared to meet I’m going to back whatever we do. Hopefully there’s an opportunity for a Donley on loan as Carey and Berry dont look the same quality as the rest of the squad
Yeah maybe a failed medical. Kinda hope it is that rather than him turning us down.
I would be very surprised if he failed a medical based on some of the players that have got through the net here even recently.
He's been ever present for 4 seasons, passed medicals with Cambridge and Reading.
Will be interesting to see if we find out more or it will be left there. I hope it's something that isn't completely dead and a deal that can still be made, but that seems very unlikely, not something that happens often in football.
This is tough, that would have been the business of the summer and he was everything we needed in this team, have to hope we have alternatives now
Apparently has a knee issue but yeah gutted about this one falling through, just as everything was looking up.
But come on, Burke is made of glass (already injured) and Bell has just come back from an injury, plus Potts managed to get through a medical.
Even if something did flag up, surely it can be 'managed' like we have done with other players, especially for one that's made almost 200 apps in 4 seasons.
It was all reported that Reading had agreed a fee so it would be cheeky if Reading upping their price was the reason.
Ah well, on with the day, cakes on offer at Tesco, that seems like a good idea for now.
Yes but the other two didn't cost as much.
Yeah true, big fee if there is a risk, but if that is genuinely the case, I would rather we stopped signing players like that full stop even on a free, as players like Burke and Potts wages won't/wouldn't have been cheap.
Just have to hope we have other targets in mind now. The good news is, we have still made a handful of very good signings, and we clearly have some cash to spend still. Fingers crossed we are already lining up the next one.
This has ruined Hawaiian shirt day a bit tbf.
Hahaha bravo, huge fan of the joke at the end
I wish I was joking.
I've got to be out of the house in 2 hours and right now I am considering writing it off and just eating a birthday cake instead.
On an emotional level, I've took being dumped better than reading the "Knibbs is off" tweet.
Just football though init haha, plenty more Knibbs in the sea and all that, didn't immediately chin my cabinet when I read the news.
I want to put it out there that anyone taking a victory lap of 'the other forum' getting something wrong, the poster (who also is a poster here) was correct on Kelman and the Asian link. If you'd rather people not say a word and instead, sit and make tremendously funny puns all day, then carry on swiping. I for one thank Goddenole & anybody else who shares the information they have, whether it materialises or not.
They take the credit when it comes off, so have to take the stick when it doesn’t.
Well they don't have to share the information in the first place do they? My point is people giving them stick will just prevent any future information being posted. If I'm goddenole (who clearly had a good source given he broke 3 transfers, 1 of which failed for reasons we don't yet know) I just wouldn't bother next time. If nothing else it gives us someone to look at or talk about, otherwise we'd have absolutely nothing to go on - so what's the point in giving them stick?
Can we stop harping on about people "ITK" they might be sharing what they believe to be true, they might not. Believe or don't believe but cut the sniping, we are better than that.
Reams yesterday : Deal is done like I’ve told everyone
Reams today : A fee was agreed but we were not quite on the same page with personal terms.
I know you will read this big boy so Just take it on the chin, you have been caught out. Stop doubling down
this seems pretty nasty and petty, people who share rumours and news on transfers are only sharing what they hear and there is obviously always a chance of a hitch. I personally enjoy reading the rumours as I suspect most who post in this thread do. If you only want to know once a deal is confirmed then just look at the OS as Henry does. we move on to the next one

Agree with this and any information is always welcome. No problem with people getting things wrong even if saying a certainty and Goddenole info clearly comes from a decent source and something has happened with Knibbs we don’t know yet. The issue is more with Reams, where he has a one sided spat with Cawley, who has never done anything to him and gets people blocked from the forum for disagreeing with him.

Totally agree but you know that’s not how it works.
I had reason to believe earlier this morning that the Knibbs deal may have fallen through. A planned meeting with Knibbs for today was cancelled, which raised some concerns.
As far as I know, he picked up an injury during pre-season, so it may have been more serious than initially expected. With the Burke situation in mind, I can’t imagine our medical team would give the green light.

True... It's a shame that even our mutual club we all love, people still feel the need to choose a camp rather than be in it together.

That’s fine if it’s a rumours thread but not if you are saying you have contacts and it’s actually happening or happened which the person we are talking about does all the time with a lousy hit rate .
Yeah maybe a failed medical. Kinda hope it is that rather than him turning us down.

Even if something did flag up, surely it can be 'managed' like we have done with other players, especially for one that's made almost 200 apps in 4 seasons.

On an emotional level, I've took being dumped better than reading the "Knibbs is off" tweet.

Don't worry mate you've still got 2 more so called "girlfriends".

Appreciate your input on it but it’s Not when the bloke has history of calling me out multiple times on the other website, I’m cashing in whilst I can so if it does make me petty, then so be it. Anyways, That will be the last I mention his name…. until next time.
Hahaha these ‘ITK’s’ saying it was a done and he’d signed and completed his medical. People parroting off others pretending to be read in.
No bigger clown than this one on the other forum ‘as I have been saying all week he has signed’ it’s genuinely sad when grown men try to pretend to be in the know
To be fair, any ITK person can pass on in good faith, only what they have been told.
Reams passes on what he's been told, nothing else. Same for Goddenole.
They won't know of any unforeseen last minute problem, unless they are told by their source.
I can't understand why some posters are so eager to shoot them down. Without the ITKs, there would be no inside tip offs about new signings, would there?
