    Why do people get so bothered about posters like Ronnie Moore? Just ignore him if you think he’s posting nonsense. Honestly this thread has been a car crash all summer, used to be quite fun checking into the rumours thread in years gone by but its just silly squabbling with no actual rumours. 
    This. He's posting rumours on a rumours thread. And people are getting angry about it. Ffs. If his pists annoy you, ignore them. He 's done nothing to merit some of the shit slung his way.
    'Allo, 'Allo. God moaning. His pists annoy me, René.



    God moaning, crois que tu as bien dormi.
  • It’s the closest we’ve had to a rumour for about 300 pages, so thanks.
  • Our best starting eleven, including the injured Purrington, looks pretty good for Third Tier. We also have decent replacements for several positions although we don't know how long Gilby will be out for and probably have to wait until January before JFK returns. Plus, no-one knows if Schwartz will make the grade and unfortunately we suspect Innis will get injured sooner rather than later going by his track record. After what happened to us in the Championship 19/20 season I think we are all fraught that injuries will wreck our promotion challenge hence the furore on this Rumours (or lack of Rumours) thread. IMO we must sign another left back/wingback and have proper cover for Innis although I hope young Deji can get a run out in the lesser cup games. Clayden might be able to cover for DJ but for me the big query is whether Schwartz can step in for Washington or Stockley? If not we need another striker. We shouldn't rely on Davison as third choice striker.
    Think he's done tbf - the head injury he suffered was pretty terminal.

  • We all thought that we would see new signings either with the kit launch or the training day! Neither happened which has really put expectations into check. 
  • Any news on the Geoff Cott signing I keep hearing about?

    Even if Jephcott  has been a target which I doubt I think the money Plymouth are looking for is way too much. I don’t think Plymouth are skint either so I can’t see a game of who blinks first working in his case.

    but they are not rumours just made up bollocks and then when he says it was in the local Plymouth rag it quite clearly wasn't so more made up bollocks. I'm all for people posting actually rumours/whispers that may have heard from somewhere or other but to come on and just make things up? 
    Also announced that Mullin and Tucker had both signed. There was someone else as well (can't remember who) but when he signed for another club he claimed he'd only posted it as a joke 
    If your going print rubbish get your facts right .. that was not me so I expect an apology don’t expect I get one from
    someone hiding behind a keyboard 
    Do you really want someone to go through and highlight all the made up nonsense you have spouted though?

    Of course we didn't, this is a rumours thread, not fact, just wait until its official, what does it matter if no-one knows in advance who our signings are going to be, relax, it will come, probably on last day of window though imo.
  • If Dempsey has leapfrogged Vennings then I'll be peeved tbh

    Looking at previous posts...Maybe the reason we have not signed all the other players (that other teams have signed), is because we weren't interested in them, in the first place?

    NA will have a way of playing, a structure. We will therefore buy/loan players who fit into that system. SG will know each player of their strengths and weaknesses, and whether or not they fit into NA's system. 

    All of the players listed on the previous 500 pages...some we all think are good, some are bad. Either way, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be very good/bad for us.

    SG, I would be tasked to find players to suit a way of playing. SG to find the players that fit the system, not find the system once you have recruited a random set of 'good players'.

    If we just 'scatter gun' and bring in quantity, and not quality, this is when you can start accumulating "deadwood" on expensive contracts. All of which, is a waste of money, and isn't sustainable.
    So where are these imaginary players that we are interested in, that every other club has missed? 

    I think the idea that we haven't been interested in ANY players picked up by other teams is fanciful.

    Well, if he has, then Dempsey will have done it on merit.

    Dempsey has just had 18 months playing senior football in the 5th tier.
    That experience will be something that Vennings doesn't yet have.

    Adkins has been here for about 5 months, unless he has just decided what system to play, they have had plenty of time to identify players that will fit said system. 

  • If we could get one more in before next Saturday, someone who can play across the front three, that would be spot on. However, Washington has looked very sharp the whole pre season and has solidified that position on LW.

    This is spot on, we have missed out on ONE first choice player to a league 1 club.  One we really wanted.  TWO have gone to the championship, both to Birmingham.

    Within 48 hours of knowing we missed out on our 1st choice keeper we moved and got our second choice.  We got our first choice center back in, and had to be imaginative to do so.  We got our 1st choice center forward, despite some, if not all, of the other big clubs wanting him.

  • I had a potential rumour this morning ……..

    I was driving on the a2 towards Bexleyheath and was behind a Range Rover with the number plate tuck 5.

    obviously tucker driving from gillingham to new eltham to sign a contract right? 

    I over took the car to verify the driver so that I can post on here and be added in green to dazzlers list. But…..

    the car was being driven by an angry looking middle aged woman.

    unless tuckers mum drives him places, I don’t think it wa s him.
    Appreciate the effort, it was worth it even if you find out you got caught speeding.

    Wouldn't be a bad idea - ronnie is very optimistic and has a high rumour rate no doubt about it but part of me thinks he's getting a bit of a rough deal here coz some of the usual heavyweight bores have decided he's a troll - lets see the charge sheet !!

    Over 100 comments read whilst in the queue for something to eat in Ikea. I got exited when I saw Andy Fair-weather’s name…. And then soon realised he is just another Joe Gomes.

    From what I hear we are still bidding on players but the other clubs want more than we're offering.

    Now you can spin that as "we're being sensible and not being held to ransom, we'll go back nearer the end of the window and get a lower price"

    Or

    "we're being unrealistic and TS is too tight/skint to spend what's needed to get promotion"

    depending on how full/empty your glass is.
    I know two league one clubs have quoted us ridiculous prices for strikers .. even after we made very good offers ( more then Stockley price ) 
    No you don’t 
    Yes I do cause I have people who live in Plymouth and it was all over there local news 

    I live within commuting distance of Plymouth, have several Argyle mates ..... and haven't heard anything.


    Me too. Nada. Zilch. Nowt.
