Yep, but nobody actually signs; other clubs supporters are worthy of being given snippets of information e.g. Ipswich re Ellis, Shrewsbury re Payne, hmm. ... Why nothing from Waq & Hani ? On balance I personally prefer the “silent approach”. However, having said that, it is fine if, as you suggest, there is a result at the end of it....in this case a signing. Given recent events I have been considering what may happen should zilch happen this (second) time around (I have no evidence one way or the other on that point). If a “stop gap” signing was made, eg a loan, then we would likely stumble on in our usual way and the pin would, metaphorically speaking, stay in the grenade. But, controversially, would it be better if no signing was made that would pull that metaphorical pin out of the grenade and bring matters to a head both here on this forum, and more pointedly within the coaching/managing/recruitment staff? Would this pressure force the owners to change whatever it is that is not right or walk away?? Dont want that situation to develop but if there are issues then continuing to paper over the cracks is not necessarily the best way and perhaps you have properly break things to get all the issues raised, discussed and fixed. Just my random thoughts and with no knowledge of what may/may not be going on behind the scenes other than what I read on here (not always accurate!!)

Shrewsbury fanzine and EFL insider are reporting that Stefan Payne has agreed terms with us and is set to sign in the next 24 hours maybe as early as this evening EFL insider with 506 followers? Yes, not sure how much to read into that.
However, the Shrewsbury fanzine does have 2k+ followers and they also reported it as a done deal:
"A source who came through on a few things recently has just told me. Payne deal is done, to be confirmed today or tomorrow (likely today). Has been in Salop today, heading to Bristol next. Would give it 95% certainty. Keep an eye out for the announcement."
We shall see. Can't see it being announced tonight now but you never know.
I'm out tomorrow so will miss the breaking news on all our deadline day signings.

Yeah but he was sh** and only scored 2 goals in 70037 appearances for Walsall and we didn't want him anyway

Think its worth remembering that no one really knows anything about the proposed signing of Payne other than what was on social media and in the BEP. There is a tendancy to read these things and assume they are factual which is not always the case. No word at all from the club (nor was there re Bakayoko) which is how it should be until anyone is actually signed. If only that were true. Ken Masters (a BRFC Board Member) apparently told a whole coach load of the supporters club about Baka. And although he didn't give his name, Steve Hamer (BRFC Chairman) gave out a lot of details on Radio Bristol when co- commentator on Saturday. When the head of media is away the mice will play [excuse the dramatic license...😂 KB actually reported to SH]

When the head of media is away the mice will play [excuse the dramatic license...😂 KB actually reported to SH] Sounds about right. I was also told by more than one person at P'Boro that Baka had signed. They claimed to have heard it from someone within the club. When I asked why it hadn't been announced they said the paperwork hadn't gone through in time for him to play so the club decided to hold the announcement to Monday. Thought that seemed odd. Now I know why.
Hopefully the Shrewsbury fan who claims to be in the know and informed their fanzine that Payne has agreed terms with us is a little more reliable. Still not sure he's exactly what we're looking for but we certainly can't stick with just Nichols and Rielly. At least Payne should give us some presence up front and has scored goals at this level.
We all wanted 2 new strikers - including DC - but right now I'd settle for one because as usual it's going down to the wire. Hopefully we get the Payne deal done and bring in another No.9 on loan before the end of the month to compete with Payne for a place in the starting 11.
As others have said, we could also do with another CB and LB but I don't think that's going to happen.

Oh great that means he hasn't seen the Mem yet, visited our training ground nor looked at Bristol property prices, DC will have plenty of work to do tomorrow to close this deal.

This is why you never say anything until formally signed (with apologies to anyone who has already watched it). There are dozens of reasons why they sometimes go t*ts up...

You can tell the media manager has left.
But there is a desperation among the fan base for information & news, its never ending. Its like spoiled children demanding sometimes, and seems to be getting worse.
We all want new signings, but this demanding of news can be counter productive. Just let them get on with it and lets see what happens

He sat on the bench for Shrewsbury at the Mem last February for 74 minutes before coming on as sub, so had plenty of time to savour the magnificence of our state of the art stadium. One suspects the wages offered and a quick look at property prices will be the deciding factor.
