    1) "We tried our best to get a system which suited Thomas and it hasn't worked," said Strachan

    2) "He would rather play in a system that suits him and we can't change our style of play to suit one player."

    So to sum up, you changed your system for him but it didn't work. But you won't change your system for one player.

    Lol.

    you actually rang a radio station to see if what someone had said is true, if it is a wind up then I bet Poet is pissing himself AND how desperate are you to find out some information LOL

    It does prove one thing though

    That Poet IS making it up.

    or

    It proves everything said in the last few days about why we need Radio Sheffield back on side - 'cos no-one listens to Dearne FM.

    Personally

    I think it has got to be a wind up 'cos we all know that Dearne FM is crap, but surely to God it must have more than 1 listener. If it was said, then I simply can't believe that not one other person on here heard it. :)

    A story drummed home at school springs to mind - Cry Wolf.

    there are two possibilities with the original post here and each one of them has it's implications. First, It might be true and if so Riordan would be an excellent signing for the
    club and congrats. to Davey and the Board.Second, if it is a wind up the way inwhich it has been done may appeare "Good fun", but I think there is a sinister edge to the guy
    who began the thread. It goes byond "winding up" and it borders on being a sick lie. I can understand that Y.N took it on himself to phone the radio station and to try and
    establish if there was any substance in the rumour because the poster, doubters and cynics seemed to be on a heap and not finding out the truth or lie component to the
    statement. I can also understand the excitment that it generated because some fans,incuding myself, are so desperate to see a quality striker come to the club that occasionally
    we will believe anything we are told. I also think,WATH RED, that you should'nt ridicule YN for attempting to find out the truth. End of rant. I apologise if it offended anyone
    but there was no attempt to.

    Your spot on

    </p>

    If it is a wind up, Poet has some seriousattention deficit problems.You'dhaveto haveto need to post a windlike that just to get a response from the board's members.</p>

    We'll soonsee won't we.</p>

    Baskerville, that was an excellent posting.
    I have to agree with you about the "sick lie" bit.
    We all love rumours and counter rumours, it's what makes pre-season tick.
    There's nowt like a good bit of gossip to get the posters posting and the tongues wagging.
    However, the 'sinister side' of some posters as you say, gets you thinking about what they exactly do get out of posting such rumours as fact.
    Does it give them a feeling of power?, is it malice that is intended or just a very seriously warped sense of humour?
    Like everyone else on here, I am desperate to see us sign a striker with some class and who can finish and will be very happy if we do sign Riordan.
    How people will view Poet, if his posted rumour last night turns out to be a load of rubbish and the deal with Riordan fails to materialise, I do not know. I would not like to be him posting on this board should that be the case.
    Also, as someone else correctly pointed out in the thread, Davey never ever reveals his targets until they are signed, sealed and delivered, so for him to be aspouting off on Dearne FM, is in my opinion, likely to be wholly untrue.
    Fingers crossed the deal will go ahead and I will try to contain my massive disappointment should it not.

    No

    its called being a totally insecure, puerile, attention seeking chilld if, as I suspect, the claim has no basis in reality.
