I have no issues with @kipper and know the different conditions that Clubs, Players & Agents put on during the transfer madness make it almost impossible for any details to be shared before they are announced.
Wether it's glory hunting ITK status or dropping the odd cryptic suggestion I'd much prefer that to someone risking sabotaging a deal by releasing information without the player or clubs involved being ready to do so. Have to remembe transfer ITKs aren't whistle blowers, they're someone who knows someone who can't keep their mouth shut when trusted.
Absolutely not ITK but there is a rumbling that new investment is closer than might be imagined. New owners? Minority shares? Who knows but, allegedly, the Wrexham effect has warmed the market across the pond.

My feeling at the time when he missed that chance was that was probably the last we'll see of him. He looked ok, but no more than that in the 30mins or so he played. Having seen his back story and also that he's playing way down the football pyramid rather than a kid released by an academy, it would be good to see more of him. The raw ingredients appeared to be there, my main concern would be lack of pace, as that's not really something that can be developed.
Pace can 100% be developed. I have a mate from school that works with Ruben Loftus Cheek, Reece James to name but a few. The stats are there on his instagram for all to see. The players he has worked with pace has improved significantly.
That's good to know! Hope he does get another chance. Reading about the level he's playing at did offer some perspective. I thought he showed some good signs on Tuesday, but at other times was dispossessed quite easily, or wasn't quite sure what to do when in good positions. I think that's understandable though when facing such a huge step up in quality. The fact that he did have good touches and was able to trouble the Wealdstone defence a few times showed there's something there to work with.
It depends what your definition of "developed" is too.
If someone doesn't have much pace naturally, they're not going to become Usain Bolt however much conditioning, drills and gloop you load into their body.

never going to happen! breadcrumbs were in previous posts, up to each individual how they take them.😘
And you end up with the mess QPR ITK posters got into with Lewis Wing
Which was admittedly very fun for everyone else.
So are we working on any more signings @kipper ?

Yes still busy , think we will be active till the end of the window. Got to wait for other teams to decide on squads
3 witches confirmed.

Beautiful stuff👏👏👏
What will our Paramount+ documentary series be called when we have been bought by Hollywood stars?
'A Farewell To Fireworks'.
Chariots of fireworks.
Someone gave me the recipe for perfect strawberries and cream,
cut a pound of large fresh strawberries into halves and pile cream on top.
pile cream tastes awful.
Very fun ? Very enjoyment as well, no doubt.
There is a video of Kone’s goal scoring last season on Twitter. I know it’s low lower league but Wow!
The standard of football looks pretty bad, but he seems to have more about him than, say, Dayle Southwell.
Was that him that fluffed his lines when clean through in the last minute last night? Really need to take those type of chances as a trialist striker
Lmfao!
Can imagine Matthew giving this speech before Exeter at home
In that case, you’ll probably need the Anusol cream.

Being linked with West Ham's Midfielder Freddie Potts on Facebook, highly rated and already played in European games.

That would be an amazing move as he is very highly rated at West Ham.

How many of your 3 have happened yet @kipper ? Are we expecting more?
2 of the 3,other one has gone away for pre season I believe, so don't know it if is still active
You just don't get this level of analysis on any other message board
