Could be something as simple as the fact that the manager and the communications team are in Ireland and therefore we are waiting until communications department can take a photo of said players with said manager at The Valley/SL and post it online?1

I will tell you ....He is very good...cabbles said:
He looked good but I seem to remember him only getting a starting place with about 7 games left (could be wrong) we went on a mini run 5 games from the end, most of which (bar Southend) were against teams relegated or down the bottomLeuth said:
He was our best f**king player (give or take a Holmes) in every single game he started ffsRoss_cafc said:My issue with Da Silva (and it probably sounds pretty minor) in the handful of games I saw him last year was how slow he was to get wide when we won the ball back in our defensive third. Minor I know but it drove me nuts how he never (in the games I saw) got wide quickly to provide an outlet and we often had to go the other way when that wasn't the best option.
I think he could be okay but I feel we're all getting a bit over excited about a player who we only had a sample of games against shit teams to base it on
I would like him back but I don't know how good he is yet

Announcement with new kit or lost them both? Not sure which is more likely.

Signings aren't delayed because some of the Comms team are in Ireland. There rest are in England and any of them can take a photo. Forms can be faxed or couriered.
Signings are not held up or kept secret just to launch a new kit. The delay on kits is nothing to do with signings.
The players will be signed as and when the money is agreed and the paperwork is signed. Nothing else matters.5 -
We are waiting for DaSilva to sign so he can model the Junior shirtsLaddick01 said:Announcement with new kit or lost them both? Not sure which is more likely.

We need to shift some players first. Sarr, Texeira etc. Robinson said that we need to sell/ loan. I can't see Reeves or Hodson signing until we lighten the wage bill.2

Yes, this has been the case last summer, as Slade found out to his cost, and this.dickplumb said:We need to shift some players first. Sarr, Texeira etc. Robinson said that we need to sell/ loan. I can't see Reeves or Hodson signing until we lighten the wage bill.
But shifting Sarr and Tex, etc is easier said that done as Meire has found out to our cost.2 -
Tarbuck will use that as an excuse if we sign Reeves. "Ben didn't have a full pre season, but to be honest we were signing him for next season anyway"Scoham said:

Or they could have mislaid the line and, until they find it, they cannot be sure that any deals have been got across it...._MrDick said:

But I bet you still read those 100 posts thoughNapaAddick said:I don't need to read the 100 new posts on this thread because I know from the "Bite Sized" thread not having a single post in 4 days means absolutely nothing is happening. Having that thread is such a time saver!!!

Scouse Darth Vadar says he wants 3 or 4 more players and there might be something to excite fans over the weekend.
A much more level headed set of comments from him IMHO.15 -
Only Karl Robinson could lose his voice and still speak for 4 minutes straight.25
-
This is not trying to be negative - didn't he say 5/6 new signings recently? Or was that before we signed a couple?Henry Irving said:

We only need two or three more tbh. Keeper and LB the only mandatory ones3

Really hope this means Holmes has signed new contractHenry Irving said:

I like him, I like his attitude and passion and his clear determination to succeed. Something definitely feels a lot more positive this pre season than the others we have had since Powell was in charge. Lots of hard work ahead needed still but it's a very good start.
Am hoping that the exciting news is Holmes or Magennis signing new deals and Reeves to be announced soon too. We all know Dasilva is on his way when he is back.24 -
Before that he said a GK, RB, LB and number 10. I think when he said 6/7 he must have meant in total.moutuakilla said:

I'd say Reeves or similar as well, for the system he wants to play we can't rely on Clarke as the only experienced option. You play that way partly because you have stand out player in that position, not a youngster who possibly isn't even in his best position (e.g. Aribo or Fosu).Leuth said:We only need two or three more tbh.

Wouldn't put it past them to announce Holmes, Reeves and maybe somehow Da Silva and Mavididi at the same time. Would be hard to pull off but a smart move and would really raise morale before the first games.0

He's not really a number 10 (the type known for their passing, vision, creating chances for others etc) or an out and out striker. Not sure he fits into KRs 4-2-3-1. He also looked a worse player last season than he did in the Championship. Got a lot to do to show he should be a regular in the team.Leuth said:Watt?

I think they will get a massive cake, put it in the middle of the pitch and 4 new signings will leap out of it wearing the new kit. They are just waiting for the baker to be released on parole.

I've got this feeling it's going to be about Ricky Holmes this weekend. Please let me be right.2

who is hodson??2

I know exactly what you mean but it's not impossible to hold an announcement is it? They won't be getting them all down to sign the contract at the same time but they've had Cawley hold stories before. Look at the drama of premier league signing announcements nowadays.Henry Irving said:

Not if they involve others clubs they don't and even with free signings agents leak the news.cafc_harry said:

Not saying those four will or won't sign but all this "it's the kit" or "it's to announce them together" is silly.

Manchester United managed to record a song and a whole almost advert for the Pogba announcement. With money it's possible. Not saying the club would fork out to do it but it's possible.Henry Irving said:
