Every player gets their own thread, that's a given, but hardly hurts having this one as well. This board is a complete free for all, which is far more fun and organic than most fan sites which keep everything very regimented. One might start a thread, but once it's out there it belongs to the NSC hivemind. Just go with the flow :)
Yes this thread can morph into anything and that’s fine but I think you know that I was specifically asking if we need a transfer thread in addition to all the separate threads for each transfer target?

You just posted that on Social Media.
Again, you know I was specifically referring to social media sources of transfer news/interest posted by journalists not a chat forum.

Anyway I‘m not interested personally in taking the time to post any transfer updates/links here if we don’t want the thread to be for that so happy to let the thread now drop off the front pages and/or morph into a general chat about anything and everything and not be for whats happing in the January transfer.

If I see anything new, I’ll start a new thread for each player if one hasn’t been started already 👍

Bit precious about this thread aren't you? Of course we don't need this thread, but it's good to have in addition to to the individual player ones. As KG said just go with the flow, people will use it if they want to and won't if they don't. Same goes for you, don't spend your time on it if you don't want to

This thread is the transfer thread I look at most at the moment. It's hard to find transfer rumours amongst all the RIP threads

How is saying ‘happy for the thread to morph into anything anyone wants being ‘precious’?

I also meant “need” as in there is no point reinventing the wheel if we have duplicate discussions elsewhere silly.

No one “needs” any threads on an internet forum we can all manage our lives without 🙂

I am going with the flow and Im getting the impression that people are preferring the individual player threads to post updates and discuss the January window links not this one - in fact several posts have suggested as much at times when I have the inadvertently duplicated news posted elsewhere…hence my suggestion.

If people want to make this a general chat about anything that’s fine, as I said I’ll post on existing threads or start a new one of appropriate for individual players - Don’t turn a common sense observation into something it isn’t.

Certain users post counts suggest otherwise.
Fair enough

I’ll stop posting to this thread point taken. I only started it because I thought it would be helpful ( for me!!) to see all the transfer updates in one place - appreciate I have been posting on it more than anyone else 🙄

The reason I said you are precious about it is because you have posted several times about how it is or isn't being used. I'm glad to hear you are going with the flow about it, maybe posting a little less would actually make me believe that you are

This meta discussion about the usefulness or not of this thread is more annoying than anything else. If people want to engage they will, if they don't they won't.

I see a notification and come to the thread to see who we're linked to. Simple as that, keep it going on that track.

This, if I may be so bold, is part of your problem. Where in my post did I suggest you stop posting on this or any other thread? Just stick to the subject of the thread and stop analysing the thread itself and projecting about whether or not people 'want' your thread to exist. When you just want some transfer news or rumours, that stuff is really tedious.

Brighton turned down Dortmund in favour of Ipswich apparently because we want him to stay in England




Edit - already posted and discussed on the Enciso thread

Fotbol Direkt has us apparently still interested in pursuing last year’s target, Bazoumana Toure (as are a number of other clubs)


As already mentioned elsewhere on NSC, we sent a scout to look at the Hammarby LWer in September - not a big priority for us this window but maybe a loan back/one for the summer

A few sources linking Brighton to Sporting defender, Ousmane Diomande - would think it above a January spend for a player though, he won’t come cheap


The great thing about transfer windows is we can window shop and dare to dream about the ones that will get away either because they were too expensive or players turned us down - this is probably one of those but more about this very elusive defender that is above our transfer ceiling (and not ideally right footed too)
