Four deals +2

[Chiefblue]

Dont understand how these threads catch fire and end up on 100 pages (yes I'm aware I'm contributing to this one but I normally don't).

I mean no offence OP and with respect, why would/should anyone believe a statement so vague. There is no issue (that cant be fixed, ie new user name) where you couldnt just post the players names/positions ect.

Say a city board member's a good mate of mine (they're not) ... and I call him up for a chat and latest goss. He says to me: "mate, torres is a done deal. Gonna be announced before WC but keep it under your hat". What is the harm in posting: "heard from sources that torres is done"?

Obviously no expects people to reveal sources or who they are but come on, posters like this are taking the mickey out of fans. Sad thing is, I read posts like the OP and I genuinely want to believe it!

Spot on, the "I have some information but won't share it with anybody" threads are becoming almost as tiresome as the "are Puma doing the new kit" posts. But take everything for what it's worth, and with a huge pinch of salt. If anything, Bluemoon is keeping me entertained when I'm supposed to be working, so I'd rather read bullsh1t than actually graft!

No one will sign a swedish winger based on performances at the world cup

To be fair to Bombo he's been open in the past about who his source is. Sure I'm sucking up in the hope he sends me a pity PM with all the names. IIRC he's mentioned names in the past

Surely if they're done you can announce them, since there's no risk of them being hijacked/falling apart.

Or by done, do you mean not quite there's a greater than 20% chance of being done?

I'm not personally bothered either way, but it's words "done", "signed", "completed", "100%" that cause all the forum rage when nothing does happen.

Four deals done two outstanding all will hopefully be announced before world cup the two outstanding may drag on that will be end of the buying. The sales will then begin.

I will play along Bombo;
Three deals done, 1 in the balance and 2 outstanding - might not happen due to transfer fee. Then three to leave City.

It's bloody easy when you dont have to name names as i don't know them anyway i am just an internet troll....

there corrected it for you.
:0)

if we get the 4 and 2 more the sales will begin alright,starting with tevez.

Oh joy, another "I know who we are signing but won't say" thread.......

im going to buy 4 objects from tesco tomorrow

Can you post some youtube clues?

If not I'm going to say a 500g pack of Mince Beef, a squeezy bottle of Tesco mayonnaise, a pack of Mr Kipling Lemon slices and a jar of Homepride Chilli sauce.

your right done is the wrong word. In place is better there may be a twist or two in the biggest deal, to which we can have no influence over. All I'm gonna say is dzeko is a back up plan the people i've pmd have the names but have asked them not to post the info.
