thought i would start a official thread for this one!

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~679241,00.html

great news!

any rumours as to who?

Shakes
Platt
new grounds man

Platt, Cureton and Tony thorpe :D would be class if thats right

I bet it ends up being some old bloke like Nicky Summerbee.

i reckon you might be pretty close with that

well i think so, but apparently we were after paul mayo, and he just turned us down, and kingy was really suprised, so there might only be 2, cureton and platt

That I wouldnt mind

i thought mayo was offered to us as part of the parkin/watford deal, and king didnt want him? ah well, we will have to wait & see what surprises he's got for us tomorrow

Got Thorpe on Football Manager - scored shedloads for me.

No get Omar Daley from portmore United, he is godly and you can get him for 5k after he has been on loan at preston

Yep - Mayo is off back to Lincoln ...

Nice- tip noted.  I can get Swindon to the Championship, but am currently bottom of table on second spell in that league, and can't seem to keep them up (!).  Keep leaking stupid, stupid goals.  Mind you, have managed to keep hold of Parkin for three years.  Got rid of Rhys quick, though. Started gobbing off.

Thorpe? No chance.

Cureton? Fingers crossed.

 Yeah i had the same problem mate.... omar will get you to the championship no probs, and he will score a few in there, but you need someone better.... i just missed out on the play-offs of it once, with omar and heffernan up front.... but then got sacked and went to dony :( so iv started again

 Thing is, this season im struggling because sam parkin got a broken ankle playin vs shrewsbury (thye injured 6 players in that game) and he is out for 4 months

Yeah, I've currently got the front line of Parkin, Thorpe, Allsopp (who is great) and Ugarte.  To be honest, Ugarte is a useless smegger ... but the other three are decent.  Unfortunately, Thorpe is out for three months which I'm not happy about, and now I'm below fucking City ... bastards.

Notice that King's quota of players that he wants to sign is starting to diminish.

Six required before any player offered a contract departured, ten after all but Igoe, Duke and Smith had announced their intentions and we are now down to 4/5  depending if platt is announced tomorrow as one of the three.  A "possible" further two to follow.

Can't blame King (as much as I'd like to  :twisted: ) a cumulation of factors have really tied his hands.

Playing budget cut by estimated 250K
No enforced deadline on contracts offered
The ability so far to only offer one year deals

Add to the fact that it seems much more of a dry market overall than it has been in recent years it looks to have been hard going.

Really hope he can bring in a few more even if they do just amount to squad players as the transfer window could really screw us over if we get a few injuries/suspensions to key players.

That depends whether Shakes and Comyn Platt are included in the three players or not, if they aren't that would be 5 signings plus another two, maybe including one or two loanees, along with a couple of youth players making the step up and the squad would be a similar size to before.

i look forward to finding out who those are tommoro aternoon when i wake up then  :soapy tit wank:

Lee Holmes on loan possibly?

i would've thought from the wording that these are players for keeps, not loans?

I was referring to Ben Wah's statement ie. that we might get a couple of loanees

ah rite sorry :P

Whats the betting that i wake up, put the net on and it says something like 'Igoe ponders new contract!'  :twisted:

I can give you 3/1 odds on that

Oooooh yes please, stick me down for a tenner.

any luck, it'll say "king tells free-loading cunt to fuck off" :twisted:

I'd prefer if he stuck his other eye together. :wink:

I just want somebody to sign, anyone, don't care who. Even if it is Igoe re-signing.

I need something to give me a reason to take that trip to Barnsley.

As for Omar Daley, never could get a work permit for me.

I'll be happy enough if that's the case but I still don't see it as being sufficient unless we are again lucky with injuries/suspensions or bring in a few versatile players that can provide adequate cover in areas.

Shakes looks to be a good start.  Striker, winger and central midfielder a few more like that and it will be a step in the right direction.

Looking at the past two seasons particularly the season before last loan players brought in mid-way had a very big impact particularly Ifill and Lewis who ended that terrible run of games against Port Vale.  Overall it was the bulk of the squad that achieved but short term loans have definitely made a big impact and difference to the side.  Even at times if just raised peoples games it had the right effect.

Hopefully loan players will be season long or 3 months at a time.

Not sure what the ruling will be for extension of a loan in the transfer window, anyone know?

Could Gurney be one of them, I hope not.

i doubt that there will be two new singings. it will be platt and shakes confirmed and i dont have a clue who the third is. lets hope it is someone in the cureton mould rather than the opara one!

I'd forgotten about Kingys habit of gambling on a non league player every season.

Like thats been a success.

yeah i have a feeling it will be platt and shakes plus one. which will be a let down to be honest but still.

I thought we were supposed to be waiting untill at least early July for the confirmation of Shakes. Hopefully it's someone else.

he officially signs his contract 1st of july, thats what i gathered. and its gettin pretty close.

But tomorrow lunch time is not July yet, so it has to be an extra three surely?!

yeah i suppose so. well ihope im wrong..but i have a bad feeling.

If they include Platt and Shakes I will be angry :evil:

How will you let them experience your wrath?

Dog poo in a jiffy bag posted to Sandy Gray  :?

Platt and Shakes have already signed or agreed to though?? it's 3 different people.

I think if you read the statement it's clear that one of the players will be a big signing.

Lets bloody hope sp  :beers:

Get Freddy Guarin from Envigada (Columbia) you can't get him until your second season but he is f'in awesome.

shakes and conwyn-wossisface have verbally agreed, but cant join till friday. so unveilnig them today would be bent. 3 whole new players please, and shakes and his friend tommoro please!!!

p.s i look forward to waking up this afternoon and finding out who we've signed.

And I look forward to your next post, Cameron is lovely. :D

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

she is rank.
i have never found her attractive.
Why JT is with her i don't know :-))(

pr my boy pr

Some of people on this is seem to think that Curetons definate because they spoke to someone at the CG...Not reliable at all but now everyone seems to be saying its him now.

What she's doing with JT is what I wonder.  He's an average looking fella, and he has little real talent, basically I hate the guy and always have done.

He's an average looking guy with heaps and heaps of cash. I used to like Camron Diaz in her younger days whe she was 'off the hook'.

diaz is fine!

ps. cureton 4 town

Just had a thought...what about daryll powell from forest!? no one apart from gregor robertson has gone...so hes stil available? King said hes the type?

Just been shown this:

Kingy reckons he's ready to unveil THREE new signings tomorrow lunch time - One is definitely Charlie Comyn-Platt from Bolton, Ricky Shakes (also Bolton) may be unveiled as well, unles he has been already. Two other possibilites are Jamie Cureton or Daryl Powell

Not sure how official.

Watford defender Jack Smith could well be one. He was at the county ground today finalising his move. Two more to be announced later.

Official website now says Thursday afternoon rather than Lunchtime. WANKERS! I'm dying here!

Last I heard Jack Smith was signing

its blatently all fallings through....

God I hope not

its us we're talking about here!!!

Are we gonna get some awkward grinning pictures of our new signings on the CG Pitch or in the stands holding aloft a scarf of displaying their name on our awful away shirt? *


* I hope so

I fucking doubt it BR*

*11 Stone 10 - ouch :(

Is that a whole stone now SR?

1 stone and 1 pound Tom, and to top it off - I'm shitting blood. A world of pain. (sorry browsers, too much info maybe)

Crikey mate, you anticipating losing any more, or have you now reached terminal weight loss?

My last food intake was two pieces of toast on Tuesday, which I promptly threw up.

I expect a few more pounds to disappear!

You been to your GP?  Your going to be in serious trouble soon if you haven't.

Point me in the direction of that Quiche.. I'm sure the pain you're in SR is unbearable but you just can't deny those results...


* I'm not mocking your condition I promise  :wink:

I hope you get well soon :shock:

CURETON and THORPE and SMITH.

Plus SHAKES and PLATT to come I would imagine. Things looking up all of a sudden?!

why the SHOUTING of the PLAYERS names?  :soapy tit wank:

stop SHOUTING...........

them some good titties compo my boy!!!

 Well looks like i wasnt far wrong.... only missed J.S

 ah well

With Cureton and thorpe up front we could push for the play-offs again.... thing is we need someone in midfield who is as good as Igoe when he is at his best, but consistantly for a whole season, to get things going, because those boys will bang them in for us.
