Axel Disasi - signed on loan

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

Must have looked him straight in the eyes.

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.

It would take a JCB to get Grant Holt over the line

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.

Nobody cares about what used to happen. Right now, it's utterly pointless that we keep getting new threads started about players we haven't signed. Your fellow moderator appears to agree.

If people refuse to use the transfer speculation thread for transfer speculation, I'd suggest an alternative of create a new sub-forum for speculative transfer targets. When they have officially signed, they could be moved over to Heroes Discussion.

That way people who are desperate to start a new thread can do so, without ruining the site for everyone else.

Hmmm.

Are you per chance a member of the Footy collective? This (thread organisation) being one of his bugbears.

Random unrelated thought but this year will be 13 years since we appointed Lambert.  It seems like yesterday to me!

I think need a single thread so that discussions about how threads can be organised are kept in one place so that the discussions around Big Grant Holt aren’t interrupted by persistent pettifogging.

I'm not a moderator. I decided life's too short to argue the toss about the minutiae of message-board adminstration with angry people anymore. So I stopped.

Feel free to take your suggestions to someone who is as passionate about the subject as you are. If such a person exists.

You're diverting now making this thread about Lambert.  You posted up that this was happening because some all seeing eye on transfers said so and then....nothing!

Of course he could still sign and you'd be hailed as an in the know of sorts. Should he not, well, you will probably be hailed as something else.

He should have his own sub-forum. I'll start a few threads to suggest it.

Well thanks for your stint, much appreciated.

[kippaxvilla2]

Is Grant Holt coming in exchange for Duran?

[ROBBO]

We have a January transfer thread already for rumours and speculation.

[kippaxvilla2]

By the time you get up tomorrow Robbo he will be in the door I promise (fingers crossed thing)

[ROBBO]

I will hold you to that, better cross more than your fingers.

[Demitri_C]

Couldnt we just erm set up a poll and whatever scores highest roll with that?
