It might feel like it, but we're not. It's still summer until around the 23rd September.We are in autumn
Seems like it was a bit premature to close the summer signing thread
The transfer thread was closed because it turned into discussions about injuries, tactics and a lot of things that were not transfer rumours. The main bulk of our business is done.In a division, where the transfer window doesn’t shut until March, it seems daft to shut a thread about transfer rumours, especially when this won’t be the last signing we make outside of the traditional EFL window.
This was discussed by the mods, and the reason was given on the thread as it was closed. It’s not difficult to comprehend and the way forward was set out.In a division, where the transfer window doesn’t shut until March, it seems daft to shut a thread about transfer rumours, especially when this won’t be the last signing we make outside of the traditional EFL window.
A couple of years ago we thought we didn't need to, now we definitely do. Maybe if we had been a bit more wider thinking a few years ago we wouldn't be here now. We weren't, and here we are.I would have never thought a couple of years ago we would be dipping into Salfords youth for a loan
But to be honest the type of balls you can put in for a 6ft 7 striker will be very different to those that we put in last Saturday. Stick this bloke anywhere near the keeper on corners, and you can hang one up and cause chaos with it.6'7" striker and we didn't beat the first man with crosses most of the Torquay game. Hardly got the ball off the floor
Anything you can share at this point?In a division, where the transfer window doesn’t shut until March, it seems daft to shut a thread about transfer rumours, especially when this won’t be the last signing we make outside of the traditional EFL window.
I'd say a couple of years ago dipping into Salfords youth may have helped us get the goals to stay upA couple of years ago we thought we didn't need to, now we definitely do. Maybe if we had been a bit more wider thinking a few years ago we wouldn't be here now. We weren't, and here we are.
Horses for courses then Webby? That's the best straight line you've ever given me mateI'd say a couple of years ago dipping into Salfords youth may have helped us get the foals to stay up

If there are any new rumours then people are free to start new threads, we decided as a team that it was best to close the thread. We are not going to please everyone with our decisions. But we collectively agreed on this approach.
Anyway, welcome Marcus. Look forward to seeing you up close and personal in the South Upper.
Thanks for the feedback @BoyWonder2. As others have already said, we took a collective view on closing the thread and decided it was the right one at this time, and the thread will not be re-opened. Yes, there may well be further business and that can be dealt with on a stand-alone basis.Then those posts get deleted/moved to another thread. That would happen if I started talking about cricket in the running thread for example, so I don’t see why it’s any different.
Although the main bulk is done, we are 100% not finished.
