Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!) (3 Viewers)

[Magwitch]

Apologies if this has been discussed but where would signing Chaplin leave Andreu? We would surely need to play another striker alongside Chaplin which would leave Tony benched or out wide. Should we not be targeting a player who can lead the line on his own with Tony in behind?

From what I have read Andreu has been our most consistent player i think he’ll start for definite.

If we don't sign Chaplin, will this be a record breaking thread length for a player we have't signed? Where's Jim Brown when you need him.

I think so, SkyBlueRuffian’s Baker Richardson thread last year reached 31 pages

To be fair on the Brexit thread Mad Mart accounts for 15,000 messages by himself.

He liked a Davies one a few days ago so it basically means nothing.

Davies is a former teammate though ... that tweet is from a random cov fan in May with Shipley in (who he’d have no connection with?)

its so obvious robins is waiting till very last min to see if we can get this one over line

so lets wait and pray with him rather than instantly go for a plan b that might not be as good

Yes we might have to wait up until the deadline. Plan B might be a loan and back in for Chaplin in January if needs be.

512 pages??? Fuck me that makes the Old Testament look like a pool side read!! I’m guessing I don’t have to read the whole 512 pages to guess its full of bad language and regular accusations of racism?!

Just like every other thread then.

I'm calling this out as a threadist comment

 

[stevefloyd]

Whats it say in the other 35 pages...have we signed him yet?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Today’s the day.



Probably not though, we’ll never sign anybody again.

 

[Mr Panda]

Could Danny Rose be our plan B?

 

[Captain Dart]

Do you know, I've got a gut feeling Chaplin will sign today, about 5pm.

If it happens it will be 16:55 on Thurs 9th Aug.

Usually the English summer transfer window closes at the end of August, but this year, the official deadline has been set at 17:00 BST on Thursday, 9 August.

Maybe he is just trying to wind up fans now.


also I hope if we do sign him. we do one of them stupid reveal videos.

Well Nantes announced a signing using a Fortnite clip.
Lucas Evangelista: Nantes create Fortnite clip to announce new signing
A fortnight doesn't do this protracted saga justice though. '28 days later' is much more appropriate!

Getting more like Neverending Story.

It has to really be today or tomorrow we tell them it's all or nothing and then walk away.

You would really like to think while this has been going on we have been looking at alternative options and getting them sorted so if he doesn't work out we can just go for plan B. It would be very naive of Robins and the new recruitment guy to put so must trust into Portsmouth.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Jackett might just be stringing us along to weaken a potential rival.

Exactly.

We really can't have put all the eggs in that basket to wait until the last day for them to say "Sorry, not for sale HAHAHAHAHAHAA LOLZ".

If we have, the new recruitment guy should probably clear his desk and Robins would have some questions to answer.

It should be that we say "We will wait until Wednesday, let us know"

Tuesday comes and some random striker rumours get fed

Pompey will think "shit, they are going elsewhere here"

In the meantime Robins and the recruitment bloke are looking at a few different ones and speaking to their clubs to get a basic idea on what it would take for us to get them, Pompey either don't reply on Weds or piss about and by Thurs we go ahead with one of the other options.
