[TAPOUT 361]

As an aside, the gazette state Moore is not first choice. Who do we think might be. Can't remember many other forwards being linked?

I'll be much happier... Far too Smoggy Pale for this heat!

I quite like thunderstorms, bit of entertainment and jeopardy

WTF come on guys pack it in, we have days of thunderstorms to come then you can be miserable!

DZ and his brother seem to think they have a monopoly on information on this board, despite the fact they've got far more wrong than they have right, even recently. They've already bullied another person off the board already, I'm not going to sit back and take it.

Looking in the same kind of mould, Chris Martin is a great target man with far better footballing ability than Moore and better pedigree in this league. But he hasn't been mentioned anywhere except here.

I don't think we could afford his wages. Looking for 20-25k a week I would imagine.

Sadlier would be a decent Free Agent too. Again, think he's only been mentioned here.

Can play centrally or as a wide forward, so would suit numerous systems.

This is getting a bit tetchy on here.

Message to MFC - sign someone, or risk an outbreak of handbags on OB.

But what could be more OneBoro than excitedly checking 20 new pages on the transfer thread for our new amazing wingers and impervious centre half, then realising it's all arguments?!

It's even worse since the forum change as 50 posts per page isn't an option anymore, so now there's not even any "God just make it 50 posts per page" responses when someone complains.

But seriously it threw me a little when I read Vickers pirce, Cosgrove's injured so it wont be him, Dykes is long linked but can't see it I don't think Chris Martin would be number 1 to be honest whoever it is I'd guess 6 foot 2 plus the part about better suits the style kind of threw me does that mean tall but not Moore tall? Very strange unless it's just a leak by the club to pressure Moore.

On the Ipswich guy I've genuinely never heard of, if there's anyone at Ipswich we should go for it should be Kayden Jackson 1 year left on his deal has a bit of pace and physicality under a different manager I bet we'd be all over it.

the whole point was that from the clubs point of view, there is nothing gained by them telling the gazette information when they are trying to do a deal behind the scenes hence why the gazette are limited to reports and the gazette understands. The only people that gain from potential deals being in the media are players and agents, in the interest of getting more clubs interested

Honestly, I thought it was pretty obvious to discern that from the comment

I thought it was pretty obvious what I meant by my comment and I was one word away. You were a whole separate explanation away from what you were actually trying to say via your post. Maybe you should put more thought into what you're trying to say before you have a go at others for it. Just saying.

Sadly I am aware of that but he knows that he is more than welcome to return when he feels more comfortable.

And here lays the crux of the matter being comfortable being on the forum without the feeling of being bullied, I believe that both DZ and diggerlad do not intentionally set out to bully other members but when you read certain contents then it does seem that way.

We all love the gossip, fleeting bits of information from all those who have the cander to put the information out there, be it right or wrong and certainly it does seem that they share the same sourse of information but as I say we can take the info with a pinch of salt until proven accurate.

Every transfer window thread has been the same but sometimes it does get a bit too close to being offensive and perhaps this is one of those times.

Therefore to all posters please be mindful of how your posts could be interpretated by others and if it is your intention to be the big bad wolf then please don't bother.

I hate losing members, it upsets me to a degree unless they deserve it and it can not carry on.

Thanks and rant over
