What the fuck is it with this club. So we haven't officially signed them? Why can't we have the pictures of Cureton and Thorpe sitting in the Arkells with a Swindon shirt each with quotes saying how happy they are to sign for us. Instead we get King saying that he reckons they'll turn up tomorrow morning.
Maybe this is me just being pessimistic but in my book it yet again highlights a certain unprofessionalism at the club.
Also maybe it's just a badly written internet article.

I'm sure it's just the way Kingy phrases it. Nothing to worry about.

I would hope they wouldn't announce this if it wasn't going to happen!
But, two good signings once they put pen to paper.

It's because they can't officially sign until tomorrow. Shakes, Comyn-Platt, Cureton, Thorpe and Smith will all sign tomorrow after thier contracts have ran out. Some damn good signings I think.

I've just a real bad case of not counting my chickens, nothing ever runs smoothly at this club. Just hope it all goes to plan tomorrow. Still it would have been nice to have a player with new shirt pic, would help erase the memory of the Grant Smith avec Brizzle shirt pic.

But it does show what a shoddy crowd this club are. It's hardly professional. They should have kept quite until tommorrow and done the job properley.

To be fair it's what the agents are telling King most probably.

very true. but if they hadn't announced any deals at all (including the Shakes & Platt) imagine how all the fans would be reacting. 2 weeks and no signings and all we hear is players are on the way. We would be going mad. Even worse than this morning

It's the same as we've done in the past with players like Nicholas and Evans.... When you've just signed two players who've been top scorer in this division I think you have to be pretty happy with that! Cureton's managed 28 goals in a season before and Thorpe's scored 31! Cureton is also one of my all time legendary players on championship manager, once managing about 40 goals in a season.
