wilsoncgp 9,206 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, Downsouth said: Maybe the summer transfer thread has run it's course now because little by little there are posts referring to what might be happening. Although early maybe someone could author a winter transfer window thread because there will be "links" rumours and speculation both in's and outs and with our current plight there is a lot of potential to debate in the forthcoming weeks. Going to close this now (should have done weeks ago as it still drifts along) I think someone made the point that a transfer thread should just be a constant thing and I kind of agree to be honest. Maybe time to put an end to the Winter/Summer threads. Link to post Share on other sites

Also and especially with our current state if this continues and we drop further then people will want to use the winter window thread even more so. There will be plenty of activity when up and running I am sure 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just makes sense to meĀ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maccarone 264 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I also agre, let's just had one dedicated always open thread for transfers Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 makes absolutely no difference to me either way .Ā i can see sense in both sides of the arguement.Ā but sadly theĀ outcome itself just looks like turning into a *** contestĀ .Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I think it's better to just have a thread per transfer window otherwise we are going to have this thread with a million pages in! Also makes it more difficult to archive a transfer window as we may want too look back at how depressed we were in 4 year time š. The compromise could be a 19-20 season long transfer feed. Then next summer a 20-21 one is created? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,168 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think when a thread causes arguments it is time to close them. This is why we used to close previous threads because folks got fed up with it. IĀ am a bit of a traditionalist and like to see threads dedicatedĀ for both windows and whilst I appreciate others view pointsĀ I see no reason to change a tried and tested way. Therefore title changed and thread closedĀ Link to post Share on other sites
