Has Solomon-Otabor signed anywhere yet?

No.

Interesting that he hasn't signed on again at Wigan.

Unless the Moses in question, was Moses Odubajo?

RB released from Wednesday. Although would imagine Champ clubs would want him

Not ITK, just an observation, as surely whoever posted it, didn’t mean Victor Moses.

I honestly don't think the poster knew who they themselves were talking about.

Did anyone actually state Moses.  I don't think they did, the word moses was used but in the middle of a sentence, not in a list of names wasn't it?

The first post seemed to be a mistake as it was as you say. It was then clarified as someone the poster was told we were interested in.

I've heard the next two weeks will be crucial. (ITK).

My post about piggott was not hard to understand was told we where interested this will make you laugh. He has interest from championship hardly sign for us.Reference Moses I said told we where interested in him but was wrong he has gone elsewhere

This answers the questions re what Addicks59 said about Moses.

I’m hoping we have more of the youngsters being in and around the 18. Either way, I’m not concerned. It’ll sort itself out.

Or we've somehow reached the point where this thread has started creating completely false rumours accidentally. Not even someone bullshitting or trolling, a legit typo somehow ends up as an actual rumour.

Peak rumourology.

Why is that ? 

He's joking. The next two weeks are always crucial around here.

Yes, that came through as I was still typing my comment so mea culpa on that one.

Someone said Williams was offered 2 weeks training with us to get fit. 

Despite Jonny Williams not playing in the Euro's ( I don't think he got on the pitch ?) His fitness would've been high Because the subs train harder to emulate the level the Welsh starters were at.  A Poster on here who's name escapes me, was ITK because of a mate from the academy. Is Jonny training at Sparrows just to keep his fitness levels high or would we resign JW on a free for a modest salary ? I had ruled it out but stranger things have happened. 

Same for England, White, Chilwell, Cody, Ramage, Johnstone etc will train really hard in case they are needed. Plus it makes their pre season easier for when they return to their clubs.

Mullin is not signing for us, never was.

If and a giant If, Ronnie Swartz and the management felt his move hasn't worked out in the UK. ( So far it hasn't) then Paul Mullins would be a younger version of RS and you could understand a more like for like replacement. If there is no sighting of Ronnie from this Monday at Sparrows lane then something is amiss because he desperately needs the pre season training and can't afford to be behind the rest despite no doubt doing fitness work in Denmark or wherever his location is.

Swartz still part of the plans then Mullins was never an option. I understand what Cawley said but you would think we would be interested in a prolific penalty area goal scorer. (One season wonder could turn into a Derek Hales !)

But it's two weeks of pre-season training and if you miss pre-season it's not good, as we saw with many of our players last year. I don't think being a sub for Wales would make up for the work put in during those first 2 weeks back at the training ground. Although this is a weird season with the break being so short. 

The subject has been done to death but I personally don't see any reason why we would re-sign him.

Surely this is the week it all kicks off and we make 3/4 signings. Come on chaps pull your fingers out!

Tucker isn’t signing, Cawley has already confirmed this a few times. I can’t see Mullin signing either as again Cawley has said he isn’t one we are looking at, he’s got a direct line into Gallen/Adkins I’d be surprised if he’s wrong!! 

I thought the direct line was with Bowyer, are we sure it has been transfered to Nige?

Think there might be some inflated ideas here. We are a 3rd division side with few journalists following us to any degree.  

The club choose in my opinion to let Cawley have some  advance news to keep some level of local interest. 

Sad in some respects but reflects the modern day media channels. 

Most transfer tips don’t from official sources at the club. The game is full of people tipping journalists off. The value of internal club contacts Is as much in checking things out than as an original source and those relationships need to be maintained, so sometimes stuff which is accurate gets held back for that reason. But the idea that the club simply feeds Cawley and he puts stuff out on their instructions is not accurate.

Just a over a month away from the season starting, so yes, would imagine this week is one where Nigel might like to get a few over the line so he can start to have what looks like his first XI train together.  Fingers crossed we get a couple in

Mullins in sat was it.Boyle going to Oxford.Tucker was at the club on sat for a chat with nige and to be shown around BUT no agreement on fee as yet.I think

How can Jack Tucker be being shown around if we haven't agreed a fee with Gillingham? He's under contract until the summer of 2022 with them, would be pretty weird if we haven't agreed to sign him and he would be chatting to a different clubs manager and be being shown around..

Infact is that even legal, surely a breach of contract? 

If his club give permission, any fee can be set later by tribunal.

Fair enough, I didn't think that applied to players under contract as it seems unfair, either way Cawley has outright said no. I would be amazed if someone as credible as Rich would dismiss it, then not hear anything about this and for it then to come out as the truth. Putting his word at risk there big time. It was only 2 days ago he entirely dismissed the idea of us signing him

Football manager fantasy signing and nothing else I would say, not expecting it in the slightest

If I was in charge of recruitment the first thing I would do is stop any news of who we are talking too being announced by an external media outlet. So it wouldnt surprise me in the least if we are talking to players that Cawley isnt aware of. Not ITK but it's just common sense

Good luck with that.

I’m not greedy, I’ll accept two. Three or four would be excellent.

Come on Thomas, you know what to do.

Denmark beat England and we sign 6-7 top players cos TS is buzzing and on a high with life and is spunking some dough on us 
England win and he huffs off with the hump and pulls in the purse strings

No, they won't. They'll get to page 49 and lose the will to live.

Danes are always high on life... happiest people in the world. Also have a good sense of perspective! Plus Adkins' infectious positivity (#startagain) means no bad mood can last. Roll on the signings!

It’s great you miss a few days of the thread , jump to the last page missing 500 posts and the same waffle and madness  is being spouted , love it
