madras Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 may be a good idea with a particular thread for "published " rumours so everyone can see just how much the press make up. i have a feeling this may be the silliest of selly seasons and for all evryone slags off the press i think deep down there are quite a few who swallow every word.

ToonDevil Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The one giant "rumors" thread really wouldn't work - bad idea. Same to the "weekly rumors" one. For organization's sake, I think it's tidier to have the Transfer forum or a make it a sub-forum of the Football one for those who are worried about bookmarks and whatnot. IMO, each player linked/rumored should get a thread for the entire window and any news/"news" regarding that player - whether at the start, middle, or end of the window - should go in that thread. I think this makes it easiest for those interested to keep track of any developments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. I think you need to ask: Is is broken? Not yet it's not. Will it break? Maybe, but why not wait and see? What are the risks involved? Could it harm the forum rather than help it? What you did last year with the takeover seemed to work, sticky a thread and update it with ACTUAL signings and confirmed interest stories, and leave all the other rumours to threads about the players being linked. Or just check nufc.com for their updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Depends on how many players we get linked with. Madras is right, i sense a silly off-season too and the numbers of players linked in any form could be 60+. A separate forum with a thread for each player would work quite well. Ban anyone without warning for 2 days if they start a duplicate thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Transfer forum would be good, even better if we could get it sooner as alot of threads are being made now about players. It will be good to talk about NUFC and world football without have the forum full of threads on players that might come here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guinness_fiend Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We could have a single sticky on transfers (and rumours). Each member of admin could pick a newspaper/source of their choice and then update accordingly. That way, we would get the full spectrum of shite from the tabloids and websites without having to resort to ITKs claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo is on his way up here because 'That's what the bloke at the chippy said, and his mate is knobbing the barmaid at Shearer's, so she'd know." I can appreciate that it would create an extra job for admin - but it may be the only way to stem the flow of idiotic threads that will invariably crop up over the summer.

Guest Can Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 by the way newcastle seem to be signing a 14 year old midfielder from besiktas Kubilay Yavuz, he seems to be highly rated in besiktas as a hardworking team player. but aint 14 a bit to young for a player...his free as his to young to sign a contract..

matta Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Could just make it a "rumour" forum to, cause we wont see hordes joining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 No. Simply because there is nothing really else going on in the summer. Transfers take over, there's nothing wrong with that imo, just as games take priority on the day, so what? Its part and parcel of a season and should be part of the main footie forum imo. I voted yes, but when I read your comments I did think twice. You make a good point, would the non-transfer talk section be that busy in the summer? doubt it.

The Euro's would have kept us busy, if we were in them! interest will still be there by most fans, but there will still be a 20% to 30% less chat on that subject simply as England aren't playing.
