Not shocked at either of those. Both will have budgets miles better than ours. Both are guaranteed to be in or around the top 6 too, especially Blackpool, who’ve made some very good signings this summer.
What nonsense. I know we are run really awfully but I don't think even us would do pictures etc with someone we haven't actually signed yet when anything could go wrong. Especially as it's happened in the past so you'd think they would learn from past mistakes.
Exactly why no one posts in this board anymore, what was that Swedish lad that jumped ship after pictures last year?
Victoria Edvardsen, was due to sign on loan from Go Ahead Eagles in Holland. Don't remember seeing photos tho.
It’s never disagreement, it’s ridiculed by a certain few. This has come from someone who knows JK at another club. I hoped he did sign by the way!
I certainly wasn’t aiming ridicule anyone’s way, just to be clear. My post was more of incredulity that we’d take pictures and get media ready before a player had actually signed a contract. I find it incredible we’d be so naive.
These things happen, I am shocked and hope it still will come to fruition, it just shows how we are punching well below where we where a few years ago with much ‘bigger’ teams.
For me I love the ‘insider information’ chat. Makes transfer window exciting. Be boring if we just complained about the French 3rd division signings we’ll make wouldn’t it. anyone that’s in the know should be free to post and sometimes they come true and sometimes they don’t. We all love it really
I’ve never known us do any media or marketing with a player prior to the signing of contracts. There have been a number of players who’ve had all that jazz, after signing, which then didn’t complete owing to other issues. McBurnie being the infamous and public one. Another few I won’t divulge. Someone referenced the Locke Park lad. He never came to Locke Park. He was meant to, upon signing the contract. It was a formality so the media team headed up to the park to set up. He never signed, he drove away having got another offer. Maybe this is the case with Koroma? Luca Connell ended up at Locke Park a year later, bless him.
There was a picture of him doing his medical, 100% I can't recall the a picture of him holding the **** up.
Ive been waiting in locke park for ages, no contract offered. Works both ways, even us players get ghosted by clubs, even if i am 62
