    Maybe we need a 'Definite Signings' thread for those that don't like rumours.

    He did....I don't really understand the need to delay announcing, but then again as long as they are doing their job in the background and hitting their targets it doesn't matter when they are announced. We will find out at some point and we will have plenty of new faces for the pre season fixtures!

    We definitely dont get as many updates and follow ups in T&A when Simon Parker is on holiday.

    Im not knocking Nathan Atkinson by the way, as he has Rugby and other sports to report on.

    Yes I believe I posted the above with regards Sharpe, the information I post is from a lad who has been pretty accurate in the past, I don't know him personally so all I can go by his his past comments,.
    I find it quite amusing though that fellow posters get uptight about a transfer rumour thread sometimes demanding the source of who gave them the information.

    My guess is McKracken and international clearance from moving from the Scottish FA to English FA. However no one is there to sign it off as they're all in the USA :laughing:

    I used to have an amazing source, a friend of a work colleague. He worked for the club and gave me 3 signings around a week before they were announced - and all kinds of other gossip. He also gave me very basic details about a 'German takeover' which was in the works. A rumour I shared which was shot down by Simon Parker, then announced as official 2 days later. Glorious.

    Watch out @Bradford End@Bradford End @Bronco@Bronco and @Ricky@Ricky

    @Bigrod@Bigrod @Park bantam@Park bantam and a few others have already sanded down the stocks and been to the garden centre for new pitch forks. They'll be over quicker than one of Starmers bobbies after a mean tweet if nothing materialises today.

    You would hope the clubs status has risen over the past two seasons and we are now aiming for players of better quality who have options galore
    Hence the apparent delay

    I don't mind delaying, players are signed and done, announce it when they are ready for all i care. Suppose the only deadline is probably when training starts again and players are spotted arriving at the training ground for day one, you might want to get ahead of that. Only risk with delaying is there's a stronger chance the deal leaks out, but i suppose most deals leak out now anyway so it's how precious you want to be over the reveal.

    Although last year didn't everyone and their dad know Ibou was signed and we even released images of him in the away kit photoshoot before actually confirming the deal?

    It's the fans forum on Monday night as well so it might be that they're holding back to announce a signing or 2 then or in the few days leading up to it. If we don't get anything today I reckon it will be Friday at the earliest as they don't tend to announce signings on fixtures release day.

    One game in Aus U23 three years ago ! Does that make him an “ international”?
