All Quiet at The Banks's - Transfer Rumour Thread 18/19

Why did you think I meant you, El N?

Cos I replied not picking up the sarcasm? haha

Does that mean you are indeed autistic! :wink:

Stop picking fights.

It’s an interesting point, though. Many people on the autistic spectrum have problems picking up nuances given to speech by body language-especially facial expression. They tend to rely much more on the actual words. So communicating on the web can be a bit like being autistic in that you do not have the cues of face-to-face interaction. That’s one of the reasons emoticons are so successful.

Exactly. Genuinely didn’t pick up on the sarcasm and once it was acknowledged just thought “Fair enough” exactly as I said. Apologies to Saddlertd though for taking his point literally. Didn’t seem obvious to me.

Genuinely paranoid now … haha

Im paranoid at the fact we haven’t clashed yet on the new site. What’s going on?! This is weird.

Normally only happens when we are ■■■■ and I’m grumbling, season’s young yet haha

Which one would you like to talk about?

Transfers? like the ones you used to get when we were kids?
If anyone is daft enough to talk about football related transfer rumours on a Walsall forum, subjects may be a bit thin on the ground!

Good to see you are still with us AM…actually I think your former designation suited you better but we can both agree on worsul4eva!!!

Anyone hear anything about Chris Long Burnley striker who was on loan at Northampton last season been on our radar, possibly joining us or Shrewsbury?

SS - I totally agree. It’s sometimes difficult to pick up nuances from web forums. And I think we are all on the autistic spectrum, some of us are just a bit further along it than others. No offence to El N - he’s always good for a good debate. I guess we are all having this conversation because there are no transfer rumours to get excited about. Is it always this bad or am I imagining it? I love nothing more than a good transfer rumour - it gets the juices flowing.

Been linked for a couple of weeks now. Would be a decent signing. Pretty sure Coventry were interested also, but they have like 5/6 strikers already.

If we had our striking options as Cook, Long, Baka and Candlin I’d be ok with that.
