We all knew how's would leave and with benners being offered a deal and one new person its interesting . talk to people jamie cureton wants to stay in Devon and I wouldn't be surprised if he did talk to us.

Correct, all but given up. Let's move on.

Well if it isn't Benyon who already has an offer from the club does this confirm what most of us suspect that Howe is about leave.

Nope, it also say's it isn't him! A new one!! He also rules out Bayo- basically.

Rene Howe ??

Matt,
Lets be honest we have be known to bring some right donkey's in that are a load of sh*t

The existence of the one is not to the disproof of the other. Which, ironically, and somewhat paradoxically, makes me right, thus invalidating the secondary assertion. It's a funny old world.

As for NH Gull, there's a perfectly serviceable 'Summer Signings' thread. I made the point with a gentle nudge, a joke and a big smilie. Evidently, this wasn't sufficient to indicate to you that I wasn't altogether serious. That rather seems to be your problem, rather than mine.

A touch rich, coming from Sir Wrongalot himself. Still, I can't see self-awareness appearing on your horizon anytime soon...

I must admit to being a bit disappointed that nothing has happened yet. I would have thought that at least a couple of players and Chris Brass would have signed by now.

In response to the OP, yes i hope we get 'busy' in the transfer market. Else we'll be left with the chancers and dross later in the summer.

Expect activity at the beginnning of June as most player's contracts run up to then I believe.

I'm sure Alan has a few in mind. He seems to have good connections so, hopefully, we will blessed with a new "batch" of willing, capable players. I'm looking forward to a positive season.

Also, hopeing to have someone who can do this on a regular basis

There are some of us that know what a pre season without 'modern technology' was all about. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times that we want to read that something has happened on a daily basis and crave some kind of gratification every day. Those summers back then were long (and enjoyable for other, non footballing reasons). I remember how I'd scan the Western Morning News for any titbits of news (although sadly it was mainly about the GAWS).

Just because there was no news or need for the club to make any noise, didn't mean that nothing was happening. But just like now players would finish a season and go off for their holidays or just spend time back 'home' (wherever that was). That didn't mean the club hadn't made enquiries and was actively seeking a fresh squad.

Sometimes it seems as if we're all hanging on every members postings or that we need to be the first to break any sensational news or coup. Perhaps we just need to focus on something else for the next four weeks, enjoy the summer and different activities? But of course I might suggest it, I will be looking in every day for that morsel of information. It could be a long summer... we don't even have any Royal or sporting occasion to distract us from our drug that is this club.

I prefer the access we are now all blessed with, but it does make us a little less patient when it appears that nothing is happening.

This was a quite reasonable statement that didn't need such a put down just to make you feel more important!

He has to make up for the small penis and still well intact virginity somehow.

Welcome Billybobgull from a new-ish poster. I suspect what you're thinking is that other clubs are making signings but nothing appears to be happening at Plainmoor. Don't worry - this happens every season. There will be a flurry of activity - players out, players in - at the end of June/beginning of July. We just have to be patient and r e l a x !!! I am confident that Alan Knill and, hopefully, Chris Brass will 'do the business'.
