Rich: ‘Charlton loan deal is still happening, trust me’

Player stepped into a pot hole in the car park and is being stretchered directly to the treatment room

Everyone rates brewster striker from liveprool but ive not been impressed when seen liverpools cup games. Doesnt look ready imo

when it is said that a player is the captain of the team we tend to think it is someone currently good, but then look at who are our  team and club captains, this is not a dig at WIWALB, but just saying 

I thought we were getting a loan and a permanent done today 😁

As I mentioned personally I don't care if someone gives a name, a hint or nothing at all. I rarely read the transfer rumour threads on this forum, and only dipped in today as recovering from New Years celebrations and have nothing better to do. 

I can however imagine that giving vague clues and then hiding behind the veil that releasing the exact information would somehow potentially cause the transfer to fall through would irk other posters. That is playground level shenanigans. 

in your opinion, which you are entitled to, but is wrong

Okay as I asked in an earlier post, could you please tell me how it could

Have a day off. If someone who is close to the deal gives you information and then you go shouting the name do you think that that person will trust you again.?

Okay, so why did you not just say that originally? 

What are you royalty? 

What Lyle Taylor?

both answers the same - if you have been asked not to pass the name on its most likely because 1) somebody else might swoop in last minute - yes, may seem laughable to you but posting it on here isn't going to help with that or 2) may give swansea some information about our squad tomorrow. The main thing is though that if the info has come from somebody who has asked you don't pass it on, you don't - apart from that, cawley is supposed to be the local scoop and think how he looks when he keeps issuing days old information!!!

He’s talking about Jake Livermore, Ben Watson or Curtis Davies if we’re going strictly off who was the designated captain in each team’s last match.

Trust me I went through all 23 teams because I’m sad.

Neither of them three. Please feel free to continue with he is talking shit comments. But putting his name in open could potentially damage a deal. However maybe it is best that with the information provided it's not put out there.

You posting the name of whoever it is your heard we are signing will literally have 0% impact on any potential transfer. 

how do you know? the bloke has given the board some information and has probably been told not to say who it is - would u sooner he'd said nothing?

I don't care if he gives or does not give information. All I am saying is that if he posted the name of someone we are potentially linked with on this forum, it will have 0% impact on us signing or not signing that person.

I am happy to hear a scenario as to why the posting of a name on here could potentially damage any deal.

Millwall scouts are on here and might hijack the super top secret deal.

They are "Banged up" until 6.00pm. Then 20 minutes exercise before lights out.

All those sprouts I expect.

Im no doubt missing something here, but I thought Bowyer said he was hoping to sign a Premier League Player on loan today, so why is everyone coming up with Championship players since @WhenIwasLittleBoy said they knew who it was?

This is a permanent signing.

Is he good enough to start when everyone is fit?

Yes. Will be an asset. 

To the treatment room 😂😂😉

Thank you for answering my questions, I am always happy to debate, and I of course have some counter points to your response. 

1) Yes I am afraid I do find that to be ludicrous. The idea that the name of a potential transfer target being unknown to other teams vast scouting networks, until it has been mentioned on specific football teams forum seems entirely unfeasible to me. A players agent would be touting his client to a variety of contacts to assist in getting the best possible deal for him.

Furthermore if a rival team had no idea that 'Player A' was for sale, and then someone mentioned we were close to signing 'Player A' on a relatively small football forum thread where hundred of players names are mentioned. I literally don't see how 'Player As' name filters back to the appropriate people, unless you either think that rival teams scouts read rival teams transfer forum rumour threads, or that a journalist does that same and is going to publish that unsubstantiated rumour somewhere.

2) I can actually get behind this a bit more. Whether it helps in a game or not, teams increasingly do use technology and data to scout opposition teams and come up with effective plans against them. However following on from the second part of my first point, I just don't see how the name of that player if it was posted on this forum would become public knowledge beyond those who read this thread.

Yes, don't say anything at all. This constant need for grown adults to appear in the know and more knowledgeable than each other on an internet forum is fucking pathetic. We got enough of this 'I know something you don't know' bollocks on the takeover thread, grow up. 

really? - so somebody who knows something posts what he can for the benefit of fellow supporters yet there are pricks out there who rhink ge is doing it to look big - i think its the twats who think that that cause the whole having to prove your not making it up shit and will also be the pricks who stop this message board from having posters who are prepared to pass useful information - take a look at yourself 

It's all the cryptic nonsense you wetwipe. You're part of the problem. But posting shite like 'new signing today, can't say who' is just attention seeking.

again, in your opinion, which is wrong - prat
