There's a lot of willy-waving going on in here and not a lot of rumours...or productive comments for that matter.
Kirk's situation has clearly changed in the last couple of days. That can go one of two ways...he may want a "fresh start" and decide to move away to London and start over OR he may decide to stay near his mum and family in their time of need. We just don't know.
One thing I do know is IF we were in contact with him and things were happening we will give him the time to make the correct decision and someone like @Tracey will have sent him some flowers and some kind words. Only a couple of years ago she lost her father so she'll have an idea of how it feels. Her role as a player liaison could be key at a time like this and could make the difference between a player being seen as a commodity....or as part of a family.
We really need to stop worrying about all the other teams and who they are signing and trust the process. As I've said before - the systematic fucking-up of this club that has happened in the last 7 or 8 years will take some time to un-fuck but the one thing that has remained a constant has been the fans and we need to stick together. The rest will fall into place.

Right up to the moment, players put pen to paper on a contract, especially a decent League 1 player in Cafc case, will probably sign for a Championship club if the agent get the call even if pen is in hand.
Football is a cut throat business and it's dog eat dog.
Why are grown men own so effing naive with the talk of cast iron certainty about someone's signing on a given day. Yes if a player has no other option then it may be clear cut and ITK guys may well be correct. Trying to catch up on 30 pages is mentally tough on the Rumours roller coaster.
More obstacles than the Norwegian Warholm had in the 400m hurdles to overcome to get transfers to become a Done Deal.
Just like on Saturday we are struggling to get one over the line !
I dont even recall that we'll be only be signing Famewo on a permanent deal if we get promoted - I know this thread is about making things up but no where has that been said.
We will come back to this comment next season.
If it was as easy as signing him now in League 1, we would have done it already.....
Maybe, but my point still stands - No where does it say that we'll only be signing Famewo if we're promoted
It might also rely on Norwich avoiding relegated...?
Gallen said that they hoped to make it permanent as the season progressed.

Calm down - if u r referring to me, i certainly never said it is cast iron we are signing anybody - some info i get, as explained previously, is probably in the general domain, others come from what i consider to be cast iron sources - people who do know, and have to know what is happening as they are part of the process. If i get info from one of those i refer to it as a cast iron source. So, we know the intent was to sign a striker / come winger on Monday, we know Henderson trained with us last week and we know a new black player trained with us yesterday - all of that is 100% correct. If you don't want to read info like that or are not interested in info like that then maybe pop onto another thread - i agree with you that grown men getting their knickers in a twist when signings don't happen is daft as u explain above - nothing is done until it is done

That is simply untrue. You can’t go stating something as fact when it isn’t.
Huh? This time next year we will see who was right or wrong? Nevermind, again let's attack somebody when they say something you don't agree with.
Still, another few hours to sign some players before the kids get their run out tonight.

It's a rumours thread, but anyone who comes out with a done deal type post including you, must understand the reasons given in my post.
Carry on guys if you get off on the change of mind by agents or players when bigger fish show interest; Keep fishing for likes as we may net a signing.
Agreed, I will give this thread a swerve because it's gone from amusing to a parody of its self.
The guy who's acquaintance is a player will know about players training or not training but when it comes to signing and holding Scarfy.
Mahoney would be interesting, one thing I know as I’m close a first teamer at M’wall is that he recently bought a house back up north in Blackburn and his missus lives up there. So likely would see his last year out at millwall and go back to there after…but then wouldn’t rule us out for a loan. my pal said hell mention it tonight as they have pompey in carabao cup

From what I have seen of him, good player.
