Axel Disasi - signed on loan

[lovejoy]

I guess one things for sure, we don’t learn from our mistakes in starting signing threads too early. Do people get a kick out of starting thread? I just don’t see the upside.
Also it was mentioned to me on the Bade thread that any of these pre signing threads always had “yet to be signed” or similar in the title.
Again that’s bollocks. Again.

Agreed Lovejoy. Can we stop getting trigger happy on these until there is credible confirmation it's done.

That Carlton Palmer thread was the worst. Not sure what TV was thinking.

Yes I get a kick out of it.  I live for moments like this.

What are the mistakes though? Having 1 thread to talk about a player where there is a lot to talk about seems sensible and I don't recall us starting any threads about players where there isn't a lot of noise from decent sources. Just because a few people get superstitious over silly things isn't a good reason to make it more difficult to get an update on what's happening with a potential signing.

It's a quiet window when 90% of transfer discussion is about how best to conduct transfer discussion.

It looks like we'll have at least 3 players in this window, that's anything but a quiet window for us.

Christ, think of the days of trying to get Grant Holt over the line.

If anyone's curious, the Grant Holt thread was started as the result of a random "Lambert plans raid on former club" piece in The Mirror.

For the "we never used to talk about transfers!1!!" pant-wetters.

Getting him out of Greggs was difficult enough.

Ahem. 'Greg(g)s'.

Ahem. 'Greg(g)s'.

Erm...'Greg(g)es'?

[ASHTONVILLA]

I don't mind having threads on players where there is a lot of speculation, ahead of signing (or not signing). It keeps the main transfer thread for speculation and rumours.

Remember when Lambert strangely referred to Grant Holt as "A real man"?

Ironic coming from someone who stopped being a real man as our manager.
