Why no HCDAJFU thread?

[Delboy Dave]

First the original summer special vanished and now the transfer deadline thread has gone too.

 

New mods seen to be as power hungry and trigger happy as NC!

Thr hcdajfu page was moved to alan nixons twitter feed

It was felt that rather than trawl through 100+ pages and the individual player topics that popped up, both were not needed.If you compare those spreads there was often parallel conversations going on and repeat posting. We usually have a deadline day countdown thread which is for all teams transfers.

Loooking at the Ramirez thread blossoming to 120 pages (at time of writing) with 2 days to go I would imagine definitive threads are the way forwards to avoid meltdown as 500 folks comment on 5 potential players in one thread: player A "don't talk rubbish he's injured" Player B "signing by tea time" = injured player signing by tea time as the posts are displayed. If you know what I mean.

not really !

 

How do we know who we need to .....DAJFU until well after Sept.1st. We will sign .. who we sign by tomorrow, and the rest will come out in the wash.

 

(HCDAJFU will probably re-emerge around Oct / Nov.time...when we know who's not doing their job).

 

 

Meanwhile the new " Deadline" thread is highly appropriate IMHO.

Blossoming is a very pretty way of describing it.

 

In actuality it seemed to be more of a fungal growth that had to be trimmed back at times by trained horticultural professionals. Certain growths were placed into a different green house, tended only by a few select muppets, where often they continued to grow more rapidly than the original plant which had been 'saved'.
