I'm not sworn to secrecy, only once have I been asked specifically not to name the player concerned.

I just choose not to name them.

As you say, it changes nothing and we'll all find out who they are / he is some point after Wednesday of next week.

Gotta hand it to him , I think it's absolutely brilliant how he has the whole of Stagsnet bar big yella eating out of his hand without ever confirming a signing before it's ever been announced..

Genius :D

Not all. ;)

could be because there are 12 days left of the transfer window , half that and there are 6 days up to the day after Wednesday . So any announced signing logically falls close to the day after Wednesday . I would further like to predict that the announcement will be made around 1pm .

Because they're not expecting to be able to complete a signing before the middle of next week.

No major surprise or hidden message.

And here I was thinking you were hinting at them being a Sheff Weds player :(

Because they lose the trust from the person who's told them, and then stop getting that information.

It's not about a deal falling through

There's that and then there's my weird ways.

For me it's a bit of a daft thing but it's more a football superstition type of thing.

Like if I miss a few games and we win, then I go to one and we lose, it's my fault. Like not wearing my lucky underpants at Wembley, my fault.

I'm sure we all have things like that and remember Naylor and Akins (first window)?

Nothing is done until it's done and I'd hate to jinx it.

I get why you choose not to put them on here Broomo but I don't understand why you don't indicate a league he is in for example?

it is unlikely that they will be guessed from that.

Johnny is right on one of them.

The other I won't say but if someone else posts a name as linked, I'll confirm or rule him out.

It's not Stockton.

Sorry I can't be clearer than that.

If it is the 2nd one especially I promise we'll all be buzzing.


It must be Tom Nichols . Broomo has given a bit of a clue.
He says Johnny is right with one of them. And if it’s the the second one we will all be buzzing .
Crawley are spnonsored by Flybe, Nichols current club

Reading top much into that MOTG :-)

The second one isn't Nichols he's the 1st (bid, not saying he's first choice as I don't know the order or preference), I'd be happy enough with him.

The second one would get me off my feet, proper exciting.

We've got a 3rd we're interested in who is very good.

To lifestags, one is from a higher division, 2 aren't.

As outlandish as it would be, I’m going to say McKirdy.

He’d be a fabulous signing and offers the versatility that we know Clough likes, he could play wide as part of a front 3, as an out and out striker or as a 10.

Maybe he’s in the final year of his contract at Swindon.

I would imagine we’ve had to put some serious money on the table for any of our targets.

So, let me get this straight. Are we now saying that we've made bids on 3 players, 1 being Tom Nichols and 2 others. One of the two is in a higher division and one is the same as us or lower. Of these 3 players, have any bids been accepted or agreed upon?

I respect Broomo, if he has been told something in confidence then it is to his credit that he is honouring that
