Yeah move posts over Id say. Any talk about boycotts detracts from some really powerful personal stories.

Would people rather this thread was kept to the personal posts rather than debate over action & boycotting? I'm happy to move posts over to one of the other threads if general consensus is that this thread should primarily be for posts like Devon Rover's original thoughts rather than another thread talking about boycotts/action/inaction (as we basically have two threads for that already).

He’ll only be correct through the fact everyone knows we want a forward and that sooner or later we’ll probably sign one (of questionable quality) so it’s a fairly obvious guess to make. And then he’ll dine out on it for years allowing him to peddle more absolute tripe

Cadamarteri? Wasn't he linked last week?

Some of won't but will probably miss games when it suits them because they are pissed off or can't be arsed. There is a lot of hypocrisy surrounding all this.

We're helpless and we shouldn't try to do anything. Is that a fair summary of your view?

If you are correct, then fairs, but if you are wrong don’t post this bs again.

They'll offer him less but a longer contract that's how they seem to do things.

The Baradji story is also credited elsewhere isn't it? (transferfeedcom)

I'm jumping onto this thread late, but some incredible (and heartbreaking) stories and experiences. For me personally, it's the apathy that concerns me the most. I grew up a couple of lengthy stone throws from the stadium, in the Dalglish era - I could see the floodlights and hear the crowds from my bedroom window long before I even went to my first match and fell in love with football. I remember being a football-obsessed teenager whereby my entire mood was dictated by how Rovers did. England losing to Germany on penalties in the semi final of Euro '96 and Rovers being relegated under Kidd absolutely devastated me. Now, we lose most games at home and, whilst I watch every game on telly out of sheer habit / a false sense of loyalty, a conceded goal barely registers any emotion. What once was a punch to the gut is now...pretty much nothing. Just apathy.

That was the joke Didn't translate to text well

Is there a slight difference between the 2 posts in that on the Baradji one, Rover Xtra is claiming it as his/her own story (ditto the Cashin one) whereas with the TGH one he/she is simply regurgitating a rumour from someone else?

we can sign him in a year or 2 when we get there then

In fairness to TGH, didn't Blues fans really rate him in league one?

Cov and Orient drew so we qualify in Prem League Cup

Well if he'd predicted someone would sign almost every other day in January before today he'd have been wrong. If it turns out someone is unveiled tonight or in the morning then obviously there was something in it.

Further update. Deal is now close and it's a forward. Will happen either tonight or tomorrow. From Brockhall.

Its an old story from a month ago (the date is on the twitter post), to support the post I replied to that stated "But a story saying that we are "preparing" to sign a player for a pre agreed fee is a non story" The TGH permanent deal was obviously also a non story But for the record, Id not sign him either, I personally would have sent him back if the option was there

He was playing in the famous 5-2 game against Plymouth. I thought the other lad playing up front with him , Billy Rafferty ? , looked a better prospect at that time.

Not been impressed at all personally

TGH is definition if average squad player. But wouldn't he need to basically half his salary for our arbitrary wage cap? He's supposed to be on more than 15k at B'ham no?

He's been ordinary, and that's being kind, but the agents and middlemen will still get paid!

Speculative roll of the dice, calculated bullshit, you'll get something right one day.
