And still no reason why a thread should exist before that happens. We aren't allowed a stickied thread for the women but can have a load of threads every time anybody suggests we might be signing someone.

In the case of Malen I would have thought there's plenty to discuss. His feast or famine form to begin with. Unai appears to be taking a massive risk considering we don't have much money to play with, he obviously thinks he can fix him. I hope he's right.

[cdbearsfan]

Yep, plenty to discuss, in the transfer speculation thread.

It's edited to add "signed" to the title. Same as has happened for years now.

I bet you're out of the moderating game now

Getting Pythonesque this thread..
"Is this a 5 minute argument or the full half hour"

If only we had another thread for transfer speculation. I could argue on that one, too. 🙂

I don't really care quite frankly. It's not my forum. Someone started this thread, it seems like a perfectly sound thread given we're trying to sign this bloke. And people who just assume that the transfer thread is full of irrelevant shit and so never go in there, might be interested in a player we're trying to sign, even if we don't sign him. Which is probably why (until you decided that it should it's actually better served as the place that you're leaving your H&V Yelp review) it was a place with a good discussion about the player.

One thing I've liked about this place is that it's pretty ramshackle and freewheeling. It doesn't actually matter if a thread deviates into all sorts of places where it wasn't meant to. We don't need to get red ink out and demand that you talk about the right thing in the right place. And you know what? If a thread about a player that we want to sign exists and we don't sign that player? The sun will still rise tomorrow.

But I'm not fussed. I explained the logic of why this thread exists. You've now decided that this thread should actually be a pulpit about how the forum isn't being tailored to your precise requirements and how it's not being doing well enough, so I think I'm more or less done with it. Sorry it's been such a disappointment.

There's a lot of words there, that don't explain why transfer speculation shouldn't just be in the transfer speculation thread. You obviously do care, and are just sticking with this system, despite perfectly reasonable opposition, out of stubbornness.

All very well and good except for one thing, that’s bollocks.

Even though it isn't.

[cdbearsfan]

There's four players threads on the front page at the moment, none of them have "signed" in the name.

[cdbearsfan]

Maybe they did and it has been edited back since, to be fair.

[PeterWithesShin]

They are usually edited again after a while as everyone knows they signed. I used to do the editing so it's not like i'm making it up.

[cdbearsfan]

Okay, thanks. Still no need for there to be a thread before they've signed though. Shall I start a poll?

[PeterWithesShin]

Check the title change on the SJM thread and maybe that will stop some of the petty shite
