c1982 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Rather than instantly locking these threads could these not just be moved to the general sport section and allowed to run their course naturally. There's often more discussion to be had about a player we've 'missed out' on. We're also often linked again to players, sometimes many years later - these thread could then just be moved back to the rumour section rather than being locked and inactive. bluenosetoffee, Matt and Lowensda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sorry to keep harping on about this but there's another example today... I wanted to post in the Milner thread but it's locked. Can't it just be moved to General Football now? I'm sure there's still discussion about him and other players that will end up elsewhere. Anyway, I was going to post... £150k a week is ridiculous, even if I do rate him (and think he'll do well there) but still. Also read that his sign on could be close to £10m - surely not?!?!

No prob with this at all, we close the rumour threads when the rumour is dead (and often reopen in the following years if/when it's live again). Good addition.

We said we'd try this new direction, so if people can continue to chat if they wish I don't think the idea was to move the whole thread, just to (still) lock the initial one but have a dedicated thread to discuss in general players we may have missed out on, not each one individually....though I can't find it at the moment. If we move every rumour thread here once the rumour's dead this section will be completely swamped with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I meant no locking of threads and just move the player thread into general football e.g Milner and Ayew threads so they can run their course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Seen earlier £150k a week. That would wipe off my mortgage in one week of doing Jack shit, I actually think I'm out of love with the game. It's insane. Yesterday had a pint with a bloke who said Rooney boasts about restricting himself to 40k in the casino per visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thread per player and it can move into the transfer thread when we're linked and out when they go elsewhere. Players like Moutinho, Riquelme, Banega and Barton will do the hokey cokey with all the ins and outs!

What would be the point, going back a couple of years, to have open threads on Clement Chantome, Gary Medel, David Albelda, Aleksandar Dragovic and Hernanes (incidentally c ***ahem*** http://www.toffeetalk.com/index.php?/topic/25370-hernanes/?p=354935 )? Looks like I'm being voted down but I think it's a daft idea personally. Single thread (as it is currently) covering anyone we've "missed out on" makes far more sense to me, but I'll go with the flow if the majority disagree (even if they're wrong ).

It was a link based on no substance so needed deleting (or putting in the twitter rumour thread). I'm talking about players we're actually linked too.
