[oufc1991]

Welcome back JT happy couple of days o can't wait for tomorrow or is that greedy

 

[Yellow There!]

It’s a Tim Williams thing.

How long before this finds its way into the season ticket marketing?

“An undisclosed but substantial number of season tickets have now been sold. Get behind Liam and the lads next season by securing yours today.”

 

[Berliner]

Good signing, very happy with that.
Is that the sound of a cogent pre-season plan I hear?

 

[MJB]

Delighted with this. A really strong signing.

 

[Mad Dog]

Hang on, what happened to ‘Stop focusing on ex-players!’

There's ALWAYS exceptions!

Curtis Nelson is a free agent as well...

 

[Sarge]

welcome back Jordan Thoniley

.... will be a third signing before the weekend I wonder?

 

[Ricey]

Great signing. Our season fell away last time he left, and gives us balance at the back… great age too… what a start to the transfer window!!!

Interesting that the behind the scenes video tweeted shows Thorniley measured at 1.865m, so over 6ft 1in, rather than the 1.8m listed online. In his first spell he did look a fair bit taller than 1.8m.

There didn't happen to be a pencil mark on the wall indicating how tall Jake Wright was, by any chance?

There was, just above the skirting board.

Any idea why?
I assume that these things get out within the football community, so I am not sure of the point?

If we want to be a Top 30 club, we really need to take sport science more seriously and invest in one of these:

It’s becoming the new “undisclosed fee”. In the same way that fees are basically never in the open anymore, it’ll eventually be the same for contract length. The top end clubs have started doing it more and more and that’s his background in terms of finance, so we’re adopting it early. It doesn’t do much besides keep more information private and away from plebs.

It’s not great from a fan perspective as eventually it’ll be tricky to know who is coming into the final 6/12 months of their deal.

If you start above the skirting board then you are basically denying the existence of Liam Kelly.

Stevenage had a fail in this regard. New contracts and signings were announced along these lines then in a press release a few days later they mentioned the length of most of the contracts.

I think Wycombe have been doing it for a bit so it has already filtered down.

The only people it will keep on the dark is fans obviously, footballers agents will still tell every other club, so it seems a little pointless.

If Liam Kelly falls over in the forest, does he make a sound?
