    That's what Rog's mum used to say in his Lingard days.

    A few meltdowns on here if it doesnt come to fruition. Screaming and stamping their feet because a rumour in a rumour thread didnt ring true!

    Lots of shooting at the messenger....

    Most definitely I will go into hiding if nothing happens today:( but I will be hunting down my source first.

    Tbf he did get Callum Wright to hibs (although others on here were on to that as well)

    He did also mention Sam Bell name but that was before he re signed for Bristol city too.

    But if nothing comes off anything else I will hold my hands up and say he was talking BS

    I think it is the timetables which is the problem. Not only you but several others have said things will happen by a certain date……then nothing does.
    I guess saying that there is a decent rumour that something will happen and even say a name that has been suggested is fine.
    It is the dead certainty, which then just passes which is a big let down. Totally get that things can change, so better to say things in a less ‘nailed down’ style.
    It is a rumours thread…..rather than an announcement of a signing one.

    Barnsley are making a good signing in Clayton Taylor from Australia I presume he is Phillips replacement as he can play on either wing or attacking midfield. I watch a bit of A league football on Saturday mornings and he has been in very good form this past year.

    The A league is improving all the time and there are some decent players who would do a job in L1 and the championship over there. A few have signed for SPL clubs recently too maybe it's a league we should be looking at.

    Chill mate its no problem, for me imo this site is very light hearted for most users on here, lack of signings so far have made a few a little jumpy it will sort itself out shortly

    He’ll freeze to death Dec- April . ;). Average winter temp in Newcastle NSW 16 degrees . Average overnight in Barnsley 1-2 degrees.

    Seriously

    Might fit as A league standard is L1 reading around.

    Not a red warning in Yorks, only down south.
    By Christ it's warm though.
    The Daily Depress are expecting snow again :)

    Added to this, would he get a work permit? Not like he has duel nationality or international appearances to help. These are the kind of signings we get told from our transfer team that work permit issues block these kind of transfers.

    Main criteria goes out the window if a panel deems him 'highly talented'. Barnsley will put forward his case, his age (22) and the EFL have a limited number of spots where they can bypass all the traditional criteria. Newcastle Jets are also a top team in Australia so that will be taken into account too.

    As you say they don't have to read them, yet they do then question the poster in a "transfer rumour" thread.

    In that case Rod it would be a very short thread ;).

    There wouldn’t be a thread on here if people didn’t post them. What is not so good is when a reliable poster like @Bradford End@Bradford End says two have signed player all pr and photos done and nothing materialises. I think it’s worse when Simon Parker is on holiday because we don’t get updates from the manager as to the state of play

    One was announced last week. The other, believe it or not, is still a done deal.

    I can’t explain why they haven’t announced it.

    Something's just popped into my head and I apologise if I've imagined this, but didn't you post a while back that there was likely to be a delay in some signings being announced this summer because for some reason, Sharpe wanted to hold them back?
