Pro-tip: Never write anything on any forum in their own editor that takes longer than a minute to type. Far too easy to accidentally hit the back button, the page to timeout once you hit submit, etc. Use Word, notepad or whatever.
Or alternatively, take some responsibility for what you're doing and don't install people into positions of authority who make idiotic decisions like closing a topic for five minutes to teach people a lesson. Is there some kind of internet forum version of Supernanny to teach people how not to make a complete bollocks of what they're doing?

Cheers for that, I just lost a post I spent fifteen minutes writing out just so you get the chance to flex your playschool teacher muscles. Well done that man.

I bet it was great as well. And just around the corner from the "post of the year on an internet forum" awards. Shame.

We move on.

Let's hope you didn't write it eh?

We've been shutting this thread over and over again for the last month. It's working. And it works generally. I did it this morning to great effect. If you don't like it, then you really don't have to post your opinions on the internet. There are plenty of buses you can yell at.

Well it certainly had more thought put into it than the idea that closing a topic for the time it takes to make a cup of tea would convince people that spamming is a really naughty thing to do.

I'm sorry, but how exactly am I supposed to be on the moral low ground here? I spent time bothering my arse to post a decent reply (you know, the sort of thing this forum is for), only for the whole thing to be deleted with no warning and through no fault of my own. I'm hardly being a dickhead in being frustrated at that.

I dont think he will sign for us, I'm just saying he is bringing his mate from RM, most probably everyone in their squad is his mate, damn, his mate could even be the water boy lol

Diarra bringing his mate was a reference to Adebayor think it was just a hopeful response to the links to both Diarra and Adebayor at the time, from Akqayid?

There has been other ITK about us signing two players from RM though, plus Jacob's suggestion today that we're signing a star from Real Madrid that we won't be disappointed in. I suppose he could just be referring to Diarra, although you would think he would have made that explicit if so.

If not, I do hope it's Higuain (perhaps on loan?), with RM then getting Tevez or Adebayor. Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Ozil, Di Maria, Kaka, and Benzema are all nonstarters and we'd have trouble fitting in their lesser squad players.

I've just heard a rumour that the Europe squad deadline is tonight? Can anyone confirm this?

Could affect the announcement of any of these so called signings?

Just a quick point...as none of this is in any way related to ITK you are in danger of getting the thread closed again.

Just thought I'd let you know in case you were in the middle of another opus.

Now let's all grow up and move on.

The mate reference is probably Ade, but it could be Benzema as well, as he and Diarra are supposed to be good friends too. Doubt that would come off though. But I'd be happy with Adebayor anyway!

Pretty sure you can change it again before the group-stages anyway (if you get that far.)

Edit:

Sounds gooood! And hasn't been mentioned.

I imagine the 'mate' was just a generic term meaning his team-mate. May be reading too much into the info to try and work out who it is Diarra enjoys a game of scrabble with.

Yeah it really does sound promising.

The other bit about diarras mate, I believe it's another en forward, not ade.

That's all I'm saying on that one as it's simply a rumor I got told!
