Paul Walkers twitter:

the reason for no announcement on the new signing is due to a administrative delay.

Does that mean the fax is not working again?

No, the BIC's run out of ink

The pigeon was blown off course by the storms.

Sounds like a fax machine problem that won't be resolved til the 2nd of September.

What do you mean? Only the latest technology at BDTBL

[metalblade]

Don't be so harsh fella's it is a computer problem, don't you realise how hard it is to get spare parts for 16 bit Spectrums

 

[Kev Gee]

Apparently theyre waiting for the officials at OT to sign the deal off.

Surely this should have been done by now?

Just who the hell is involved in transfer dealings at BL? This should have been confirmed days ago? And not the first time its happened. Leroy Lita saga anyone?

 

[stannyblade]

Leroy Lita saga anyone?

Lucky escape there. Since not signing for us he hasnt really been firing on all cylinders has he?

 

[gavtheblade]

it`ll be announced after 9.
im sure!!

 

[Kev Gee]

Indeed. However it seems like SUFC have the worst transfer dealing team in the League. Why is there always some kind of drama/issue when signing a player FFS?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

In balance, Sheffield United haven't been the ones putting the rumours out there.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

In balance, Sheffield United haven't been the ones putting the rumours out there.

Other than the fact that on Monday via twitter they said there would be news later in that day about a new signing, and an exclusive interview. Zero update from them since...

 

[TarquinDelouche]

They also allowed the press to release a photo of the guy, in a Blades shirt at Bramall Lane.

I was referring to the twitter link to the Zoko transfer, I don't think that has been announced anywhere yet. I didn't realise all the disappointment was at the Cofie transfer not being announced.

The Star says PNE are the favourites to sign Zoko. Disappointing if true, as I think he is as good as there is available at this level.

As for the Cofie delay - typical of our inept senior management really.

But have the club said there will be a press conference today to announce anything?

The delay is at the Manchester end

It would be bloody hard, considering there was no such thing as a 16-bit Speccy. I have an Atari ST in my parent's loft that would revolutionise the computing power at Bramall Lane, it's theirs for the princely sum of £5.....that would probably blow the transfer budget though

the 16kB spectrum was the entry level one ranging up to the ZX spectrum 3 with 128 kB of ram

 

[metalblade]

Has the fax machine broken down again ?

 

[Highbury_Blade]

well you should have said you were talking about the 16K spectrum in the first place. KiloBytes refers to the amount of RAM the computers has. 16-BITS refers to the size of the data bus within the CPU.

easy mistake to make

theres a piece in the star-`this newspaper understands that it could be upto a fortnight before sir alex fergusons side formally grant permission for cofie to join last seasons play off finalists`
the fax machine isnt broken-it must be stolen.
ffs

Well if you're going to talk geek speak you had better get it right

It saddens me how much crap people take as the gospel truth at the moment and I'm speaking in general rather than this particular signing.

Regardless of what you've heard anywhere... The fax machine isn't broken, it isn't because we're Sheffield United and "we're shit at transfers", it's simply because it hasn't been completed at the other end as yet.

It'll be announced when it's signed, sealed and delivered and that's also the reason it's still in the rumours section here and we haven't said he's signed on Twitter.

I mean, FFS, major "press conference" and a car park full of coppers and security?

What actually happened is it was the regular, normal, run of the mill press briefing and the oft busy car park was busy.

What is that opinion built from though?

In this case, what more could we do? drive to Manchester and strong-arm whatever the hold up is?

no,it seems season after season that `other teams`be it man utd or brighton,get there targets,or players they set out to sign that are followed by the media.us however be it down to poor publicity from the media,or itkers-but an example of `utds`poor trading skills came about last year-the tale of the 2 scottish lads,ok,it may not have all been our fault,but it makes the club look like fools.
The club doesnt deserve much credit for the way its conducting itself-having players photo`s taken at the club-releasing them-then there to be `another hold up`be it man uniteds or ours,its crap handling.
