In Victor Meldrew mode....if we've made a signing just announce it. I don't need pictures of him at Stairfoot roundabout.
Agreed churton,it's like pulling teeth with some people!.Jesus and Zinchenco had their photos taken days before but CONTRACTUALLY can't be INTEGRATED or announced before all paperwork and £ transfer is completed. Then they start training with insurance in place. It just seems that Barnsley take an age to sort things out.Helic is still a Barnsley player as of now,bet it takes Lech Poznan no time at all to announce!
If people are tempted to buy a season ticket but are unsure with the misery of last season then surly getting the signings in earlier will persuade them to take the plunge, granted some signings are more difficult than others.
Thrappo, you obviously don't watch media outlets like me,there was loads of pics with Jesus with the kit on before it was officially announced.These weren't Photoshop by the way.
I know he hasn’t had second thoughts. Saw him at Oakwell on Saturday when setting up the FanZone. There’s no basis for the rumour mentioned earlier, that’s all.
I'd imagine with the game on Saturday, new 2nd kit, season launch party etc on Sunday, they've saved the announcement for Monday from a media point of view (a total guess here. I have no idea)
I was stood next to him and said hello. Brief chat. I can clear up that the delay in announcement isn’t down to him having second thoughts, so let’s put that rumour to bed.
Because if a player was having second thoughts, the very first person you would tell is someone you've never met before setting up the fan zone! I don't get this level of interest in someone that struggled at Crewe and Ross county either.
Believe it or not, a double negative changed my view on education massively. When I was at school, I could never understand why two negatives made a positive. I left school not knowing, and until twenty years later that's how it stayed. That's when I heard my daughter say "I ent got none". I told her that if she hadn't got none, she must have some. Then..... flash of light in head ALGEBRA! It turns out that I wasn't stupid for not getting the maths, it was just that I had a crappy teacher who didn't know how to explain it. My confidence in educators was and still is massively dented! So not blabbering, just reminiscing. As my maths teacher said "Must try harder"
Must have been a shocking teacher if he couldn't explain a concept as elementary as that! As an interesting aside, a double negative makes a positive in English, but in the Slavic languages it makes the negative stronger. So in Russian, "I never didn't support that lovely person Putin!" isn't double speak. It's very strong confirmation that your brain and moral compass are fully functioning!
That's it then,,,,,, 20 years of thinking I was thick, 30 years of thinking I wasn't,,,,, and now,,,,back to square one.
I'm on abart getting loko blabbering if he knew summat but as it turns out he said heyup to a new player putting a tent up and nobody's any the wiser.
Why would he be at the ground a couple of days later if he had walked away as the rumour was? It would be a bit strange him knocking about given he isn't meant to be our player and has no clear links to the town. I think it is safe to say he'll be announced imminently. Some people are so impatient!
