    Reluctantnicko thinks it is time that CAFC do the honourable thing and marry a defender.

    I don't understand why people are defending posters who are potential liars. 'It's a rumours thread, they're posting rumours aren't they?'. Bit of a ridiculous mindset when anyone can just make it up on the spot and say they have a contact, I would prefer these types to be caught out and not post again. Picking on their spelling and in general harassment is not ok, but liars/ attention seekers should be called out. It certainly would be outside of the forum, I.e. if people were saying these links at a pub or what have you, so I don't see the difference here.

    If you come on this thread and have been told we are in for a player by someone you know who has connections then I thank you, as it's certainly something I don't have access to. If you are just chucking names on here to get your like count up or 'bait' people then I'm sorry, but you're just an utter weirdo and need to take a look at how you're spending your time 
    I accept what you’re trying to say but unfortunately, if there are people making stuff up which would be a bit sad, there is no way of knowing. There are posters on here who do have good contacts and others who for whatever reason might just get a random snippet. Those people are also getting grief and some have stopped posting because of it. Not everything even the itk posters is going to come off. If it was Steve Gallen posting, not everything would come off. Surely it’s not hard to read and take the posts for what they are. Rumours. Believe and reject without calling someone out. If you want it cast iron then I suggest WIOTOS
    I personally think you can tell, every season it becomes obvious who is just throwing names out there for the sake of it.

    People who are getting grief and have genuine intel and not posting cause of it, I don't know what to say. I don't think I've ever seen someone who is actually itk be picked on consistently. The Steve Gallen example just doesn't apply here. If SG posted on here (why am I even typing this haha) it would be a genuine link and would mean the fall through would be down to a breakdown in communications. When X poster posts said made up rumour on here there is no substance, just them looking for attention or to get a rise. It's sad and should be flushed out imo. The only thing more annoying than these types of posters is when the thread completey goes off topic.

    I'll have to admit maybe false rumours are a bit more personal for me as generally speaking I just can't stand liars, either way I don't think someone who has consistently been telling porkies should be defended. 

    Lastly of course it's not hard to recognise which posts seem genuine and which aren't but back to my last post, I find it annoying how people decide to come on here and post lies.

    Sorry to derail the thread, as we were

    For what it's worth, I think Cawley has denied all the players I have asked him about that we were linked with previously. He didn't deny Scott Fraser...

    Things must be pretty tough at the moment as even NA mentioned early last week that we should get 2 or 3 announced but it turned out 1. Hopefully we get a few this week as a new squad will surely need a few weeks to bond and it will be a shame if we dont get 3 points first game back at the valley presumably with TS in attendance due to players not really being familiar with eachother

    I have no idea who @Addicks59 is, but can we please cut him some slack? He has explained in his post his connections, and, yes I don't know how good they are, but let's just see what transpires over the next few days 
    As for having a go at him about his spelling that's just rude and to me, also as an older generation guy, a bit OTT, afterall he may be dyslexic!
    Let's just revel in last night's win for England and enjoy the next few days.
    If the info he has been given is correct a few people are going to have to eat humble pie, if not then we'll know soon enough!
    Well said, @Redmidland. Can I ask who Addicks59 is saying we are getting? Don’t really fancy the last 10 pages if it’s just people arguing.
    There is, I believe, a few he has mentioned. Mullin(s), Tucker, Boyle I seem to remember, there may be a couple more, but I cant remember.
    I thought Moses also got a mention in the most recent post!?
    The way our defence parted like the Red Sea last season he’d fit right in!

    Not a rumour but my son tells me that a friend of his and our U18 captain, Richard Chin, has just posted on Instagram that he has signed his first pro contract. I thought that he had already signed that contract but might have got that wrong?

    I think we will see a few come in this week, not ITK at all by the way.

    Remember It's still just under 5 weeks until our first league game against Sheffield Wednesday and we have plenty of warm up games in order to get the squad together.

    It will be interesting to see how Weds line up considering their current problems.

    Bad time to say we’re signing Mbappé on Wednesday? Two year deal. £7000 a week! 
    No thanks. Way overpriced based on his euro performances

    What did you add earlier? I lost the post?!

    Want to make sure we're keeping track.


    I think Tucker was one.

    So has Paul Mullin been announced on the O.S?

    Nice backtrack on the Pigott.

    What is that about Moses?

    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?

    Not picking at you but you said earlier the 3 we were signing were Mullin, Boyle and Tucker now you say Oxford for Boyle. I guess things have changed.

    I think the club (Gills) can give permission.

    Usually a club would announce that though? Usually what you see on twitter or someone like Cawley would have heard about it. I'm gonna go ahead and say Jack Tucker is extremely unlikely, just a hunch and will be delighted to be wrong.

    Please tell me if I understand what you are saying....

    Mullin - signed on Saturday.

    Pigott - Not signing, it was a joke.

    Moses - What is happening, must have missed your previous post on that.

    Morrell - Is he signing.

    Scott Fraser - Is he signing.

    Thanks.
