Crofts signing today [4:30 announcement]

[Bladders]

If anyone cares, if we are signing anyone soon, I'd say it would be Crofts. That's a slightly educated guess, I don't actually know.

Did he used to play for Inter Milan?

Dear oh dear oh dear. Someone posts regarding a signing today and the forum goes wild. it may or may not be true but i just can't understand why anyone would say 'i know who we are signing' and then not tell us who it is? What is the logic behind that? One can only assume that this person is hedging their bets on the hope of recieving credit without looking like an idiot if it a) it doesn't happen and/or b) it is not that exact player quoted?!

Let's be honest. It is a certain bet that we will sign someone before Saturday as Gus has told the press this much himself. Plus we are a Hoskins down for 6 weeks so it does not take a genius!

Oh and by the way....i just drove past the Amex and i saw a player in a cap. Couldn't see his face as the cap was concealing his identity. He was about 6 2". All of the media was gathering outside -BORED UNITED!

Just a cap?

You all seem to see my points a bit, if you are given the information in confidence, you should keep quiet about it, say nothing, that's what in confidence means. Not go blab half the story all over a message board.

As for accidently finding something out, I'd be suprised if that happens, you might think that is what is happening, but I doubt it is. If Bloom has a mate who can't keep something to himself, he isn't going to tell him anything he doesn't want or mind getting out there.

20,000 views. 335 posts. A staggering amount of man hours being wasted on this thread. And who's to say Ashley Barnes and Matt Sparrow won't lead us to the Premier League Promised Land?!?

Surprised that it hasn't turned into a binfest by now.

I'm not aware of any signings today - but that means nothing. I am firmly in "Olympics addict" mode and I'm not chasing any Albion info right now, so unless something falls into my lap, I'm unlikely to be first with anything.

Heard anything more on the 'remember that name we mentioned last week' thing? Heard anything to suggest it won't happen?

Alternatively, as an Albion fan who has a sniff of something positive happening, you want to let your fellow fans know that good news is en route. I know it's what I want to do - I assumed it was kind of natural for others to do likewise.

Maybe it's best you don't open any threads that hint at transfer shenanigans and just wait for official announcements.

Thanks for the advice, I'll probably do that then.

Totally agree with tht first paragraph and as I havnt any sources and never likely to hav I rely to a degree on places like this and make a judgement based on a posters history/style etc

There's about 20 different names mentioned every day, saying it was someone who was mentioned last week does not sum it down.

I'm sure I speak for others but.........



I JUST CANT HELP MYSELF!!

So....you have now indicated WHO the player is but you won't just say the name?

You have a twitter so people will know WHO you are, so you're clearly not worried about staying annonymous.

So, why will you still not just say the name? It's actually pointless now

It is quite hard work navigating through the increasingly complex web of cryptic posts and tweets.

Jeremy Balmy then, all that for a development squad player.

Is that from the thread where the Amex receptionist bird said XXXX was the new signing ?

I don't think so?

 

[Rich Suvner]

The NSC tweet made reference to 'that name we mentioned last week' and Bozza has suggested if anyone is signing today, he'd think it's Crofts

the OP has stated it's the same player that NSC's tweet referred to

so it's now just a case of finding out whether this Crofts deal is actually happening - and whether today. imho.
