Moyes thinks they have options with Ings
Can't you or one of the mods start a 'Transfer Tweets with discussion' thread or something like that, a 'sister' thread to this one?. Its human nature for people to want to talk about and respond to tweets.
It has been tried before. No one bothers to post tweets there.
Tried before, didn't work.
This thread is really only for the tweets themselves and whether sources are credible. It's meant to be so that people can keep up to date easily with transfer news and rumours without wading through page after page of discussion
All player discussion should be taken to the relevant player thread in the transfer forum
It worked fine. As I recall, people preferred to post to that thread because the whole point of posting tweets is to see what other people thought about them.
The obsession with not enough tweets is a bit baffling. I just scroll past the non-tweets most of the time; it's easy enough since embedded tweets are very distinctive.
Maybe it's just me (sorry to spam this thread) but does it really take that much time to scroll through this thread for tweets? I think it's pretty easy to spot them between normal posts
It did work fine? The tweets only thread died since people prefer to discuss tweets as well, not just read them.
Ings and Stefano to form a deadly duo.
They can be discussed in the relevant threads
No-one wants to be thread banned before transfer season do they?
Discussions are supposed to be taken into the appropriate players threads. Perhaps everytime somebody posts a tweet regarding a certain player, they post a link to that players thread aswell?
There has to be a fix for this as its an issue that gets constantly brought up but I actually rarely see people complaining about it.
I for one don't mind going through this thread and all the discussion that goes with it. It seems to be the one thread where it's kind of anything and everything.
But obviously if people aren't happy with that, we need to find a fix. Repetitively telling people to stop discussing obviously isn't working so let's try something new?

Agreed. I think if you took a poll the majority would feel the same way. Feels very unnatural to enter this thread, read a tweet and then go to another thread if you want to respond to it (where you're forced to re-post the tweet as well for context).
If all people want to do is read tweets they can just follow a bunch of people on Twitter.
They do but its annoying to switch threads, particularly since you cant(are discouraged) to post tweets in the player threads.
Or what bubz said.
I think it's fine to make a comment about a tweet that's been posted. Just don't get into back and forth conversations, take it to another thread.
Precisely
Would pay to actually hear him say that

Is that too long?

At least he tried it.I heard more spanish there than Bale in 2 years
The tweets with discussion thread was much more interesting that the tweets only thread. Taking all conversation to a player threads just fragments the discussion
In other news the sky is blue and the grass is green
sounds good.
Interesting that the article mentions Vidal as a transfer option for Van Gaal. The article has no mention of a RB target though, which I imagine would be one of the priorities this transfer window.
Love it. Him and Depay on the wings backed up by further reinforcements in midfield and we could finally be seeing some of that cutting edge we have missed for large chunks of this season. Ideally a nippy striker would be the perfect addition to round off this team but with Rooney being captain, that isn't going to happen.
I expect Howard Nurse to confirm this within 3 years.
Independent running the same Müller story, Delaney the author, although at a different price than ESPN
Another good player fecked over by City. Personally, I think he's way too good for the Turkish league.
Yeah he wont end up there, if he's available then plenty of clubs will be interested.
