Have many clubs got their signings in yet?

Increases the feelgood factor which is important. A decent signing might push one or 2 who are wondering whether to buy or not

My son in law will be pleased if Rodriguez goes back to Burnley

I'm with you. As a pundit he was worth listening to

I don't get the problem with saying he'd like to get business done by the time they head off to Austria. Ideally every manager would like to be sorted ASAP. Makes preseason a lot easier to plan. I don't think it puts any more pressure on the manager or the players - and all it should signal to fans is that there is a plan being worked on, targets identified and things are happening behind the scenes. We'd all like things to happen now Mowbray is back, but it depends on other clubs, agents and players, not just ourselves, and you don't want to rush things and get it wrong. It's not a disaster that, apart from releasing players and renewing Grahams contract, we haven't done anything yet. It's not something Mowbray will be worrying about, even if they're not in by the date he mentioned. It's better to take time and get it right. Hopes are one thing. Deeds are another

Only if you post a link to yourself doing just thst

On the principle that things only happen in football when I leave the room - goals, sendings off, pens etc - I'll go and make a cuppa I think

To avoid clogging the thread Ive sent a pm

You. I assume you must have one or why did you post your previous post. In the absence of real news we were just having a laugh.

What's your problem?

How could you think those words would ever cross Stuart's mind?

I'm only guessing since Stuart said the signing was BS

Ben Sherman as shirt sponsor? Billy smart because we've been a circus for years? come on Stuart, give us a clue

Billy Sharpe?

It's not hard to grasp for most of us. We were responding to what chaddy SAID he'd been told. But it would help if you changed the thread title i think

No. He can post it here with a comment but should post it without comment in the links only thread too. Or that's the way it should work. Or he could post it here without comment too but others are free to comment on it as is he. It's the other thread that should be kept free of comment, not this one that should be kept free of links

That was what I assumed was happening. Its the thread title that needs changing

Surely you can post links in other posts. I don't want to have to look at the other thread for links then come here to discuss it. That's plain daft. The other thread is for links ONLY and that makes sense. It's for those who only want to see that and not read any further

Obviously he doesn't. However, it's what Mowbray thinks that matters. And if he wants him he obviously has plans on ways he thinks he can use him

Yes so was my reply. I should have put a smilie on it

Settle down? You do realise unless it's a worldie (and there are some who would even find fault there) there'll then be pages of questioning the signing and bitching about how unproven/poor/bad attitude he is

I presume that's tongue in cheek

And probably agent trying for best option for himself.

I didn't miss the point. I understood what you were saying but was feebly attempting to be amusing.

Isn't that Dack?
