My point is that it is better to read about rumours than childish whelms that you seemed to take umbrage at. Quoting from the Simpsons: deary me. I’m not a moderator. I can’t stop anyone from doing anything. And I haven’t tried to stop people posting rumours, if you’re referring to my post last night I’ve already explained that was tongue in cheek. I know you don’t get my sense of humour, that’s fine, but when I embellish and explain that it was tongue in cheek to another poster that should have told you and everyone I wasn’t having a go at people posting rumours. I was posting YouTube videos of a random Georgian guy the other day FFS. Now, what I may occasionally do is post that certain rumours don’t really make any logical sense or have very little merit, which is my right to do. All I’m doing is partaking in transfer discussion on a discussion forum post regarding transfers. I don’t go looking for arguments, I try not to be argumentative and I try and post things from a place of common sense. You, on the other hand, constantly moan about things (congratulations on resurrecting the whelms chat by the way, was dead but now all down to you people are using it again) and you cherry pick people’s posts to make some asinine anal argumentative point that is very little to do with the discussion at hand and just start causing off topic discussions like we’re having now. Why you do it, I don’t know. But you do. Edited January 17, 2022 by BackOfTheNet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way your speaking, we should just give up, shut the doors and go home... that suit your odd agenda ? Not at all, we didn’t just start looking at potential players on Jan 1 hope. Hopefully that’s been going on for months. Given the injuries we had been carrying, Beni, Boyce, with minimal cover I’d have thought we would have been keen to get players in before now. Walker leaving is a strange one given how little cover we have upfront. Next two games are ideal for introducing new players. After that it gets tough for a week or two.

We're going after guys who have other options or whose clubs don't want to lose them. This isn't like other windows where we just need a player for position X so click on Fifa to see who's guid or phone that agent we ken who got us tickets for that thing that time. If Boyce and Beni’s injuries don’t clear up I’d strongly disagree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We probably could have signed any old shite already but I think getting the right targets takes time, negotiating with clubs and agents takes time.

Martin_T Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I would rather that they took their time and signed the right players, as opposed to rushing and signing duds.

DC_92 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On 08/12/2021 at 14:44, DC_92 said: I'm expecting the usual January window in which people panic about the perceived lack of activity for the first 2/3 weeks and then hail it as our best window in x years when we sign a couple of players in the last week. Happens every single year. Things seem more professional now so hopefully we've got one or two things lined up early in the window. Most potential players will be under contract, though, and often clubs don't let them go until they've got a replacement lined up, hence the deluge of activity that happens at the end of the month. Bumping this prediction from December since the traditional mid-window panic seems to have started for some. Finding it more strange this year given we've already made a promising signing in one key position and probably only need a couple more.

I’m not a comedian, I never pretended to be. I also noted that people like yourself didn’t like the whelms chat the last window, so I put a stop to it. What more do you want in regards to that? An apology or something? It was something lighthearted to pass the time when no real transfer news was happening… 4 months ago… some liked it, some like yourself had an unhealthy visceral hatred of it. So this window, it stopped. I’ve let that chat go, I suggest you do the same. And before you tell on me to the mods for some perceived ageism, I said your posts were reminiscent of an old man yelling at clouds, a clear reference to a famous joke from The Simpsons as later reflected by the shared image. Try not to be so sensitive Al, imagine everyone you quoted and cherry picked certain lines of their posts in bold to make some antagonistic point got as riled as you are getting at chat of whelms and clouds?

They’re just trying to get a couple of players in but he’ll be coming back to us, hopefully he’ll be coming back this week but that depends on Hearts signing players so that’s why I’m going to be busy trying to get players in but I’m not going to bring players in for the sake of it, it needs to be the right players.” Possibly suggests we may be quite close to making a signing or two if Ferguson is hoping that Henderson may return to Alloa this week.
