If davesviews message board was bullshit, it would be a fcuking brass band!

I don't think anyone can dispute that he knows what the club is doing and who they are after, however his knowledge of who is likely to actually be signed seems extremely limited judging by the absolute horse-shit (pun intended) he was coming out with about Van Nistelrooy being on the brink of signing when he was no-where at any stage.

also, the first we knew about whitehead was when cushion face gave a press conference saying stoke were after him. did'nt mention arismendi either, pretty sure mark71/72 broke the news on here about beattie. martin spinks and sky sports broke the news about kelly. don't recall him telling us we were signing matty either. he did say james was signing, quite clearly he was till something went wrong. he did say we were after huth, but also made out that we were signing collins (the villa one), vaughn from everton and o'niell from boro via his age/dimensions clues i've no doubt that he gets to hear little bits, but on whole his record pretty well sucks imo. Henry you're wrong on so much of this fella. He absolutely DID say we were in for Tuncay waaaay before Sky broke the story. On Whitehead ... the Sentinel, Radio Stoke as well as the national media were all reporting that he had signed or was about to in the next 24 hrs and whilst all that was going on, Dave put his kneck on the block, went against tide of media stories and said that Dean wouldn't sign untill the following week ... he was proved to be right. On Beattie ... all the ITK's (one said he'd returned from the Brit and spoken to an Excec confirming it), Radio Stoke, Sentinel etc. were suggesting that Beattie would be paraded in front of the fans on Saturday as our new star signing ... Dave went against the tide, said they were ALL wrong and that he would sign the following week ... he was proved to be right AGAIN. Dave absolutely was the first to break the news about Kelly ... the unusual circumstances of it happening have been mentioned on here so many times it's untrue - there are scores of people on here that will confirm this WAS the case. Etherington was signed before Dave started posting info - so no surprises there. sorry paul i think you're way wrong. the first time kelly was mentioned was by martin spinks near the deadline, closey followed by a reporter at the brit for ssn. find me a post where dv said we were signing tuncay before the news came through on ssn, they broke the news when reporting huth at the brit. i remember it well, i was watching the tele and got the lappy on at the same time. 20 mins AFTER ssn reported it, he came on saying we were signing tuncay.

Should Dave stop posting?
No, why should he stop? because of the people who dont want him to? If you dont like what he post's dont bother read it, thats like me moaning about being cold, when my windows open and i cant be arsed shut it, it's my choice if i want to shut it, just like it's your choice if you want to read his post's or not

Henry When everyman and his dog thought the window had closed at 5pm .... Dave came on a few minutes later saying that another transfer could go through - a full back, that it could still go through due to the problems with the snow and getting regristrations in. The whole thing then unfolded in front of our eyes with hour by hour updates from Dave over a couple of days - there are a HUGE number of people on here who will testify to this, honestly chap it's been discussed so many times on here I'm surprised you haven't ever seen one of the threads. I don't know if you remember in the summer mate but I used to make an update every once in a while of everything that Dave has said to date. Funnily enough just the other day I was clearing out a whole host of papers from one of my files, one of which was one of those very updates that I'd hand written out before posting - at very number one on the list was written "1. Still trying to get Tuncay", this was obviously written BEFORE we signed him chap.

paul,
i'm not disputing the fact the he kept us up to date with the kelly signing, and yes he did say the deal was done before it was official, what i am saying still stands though, on deadline day the first we knew about kelly was reported elsewhere first.

You can't do what he does in the style he does it and not expect to get some vicious stick. He needs to man up or fuck off. Bearing in mind his recent track record it would probably be best for all concerned if it was the latter.

Well I guess we'll just have to agree that we both have different memories of that particular one mate. Dave started a thread at that time entitled: "There Still Could Be Another Player Signing" I've just attempted to pull it up but for some strange reason Admin have deleted it.

agree to disagree then spence either way, he should'nt stop posting unless he wants to. think that vote thingy is stupid, its a public forum and no-one apart from admin should have a say on who can and can't post on it.

The 'Spanish Press' you are talking about was actually their equivalent of Teamtalk, Marca never at any stage had us as signing him. I know you fancy yourself as being his agent but please don't try your Stalinist revisionism with everything.

As you hold Marca in such esteem Slangking then you need to know that the story in the 'Spanish Press' that I was referring to, came from Jose Felix Diaz a respected Marca journalist for many years. There's no need for revisionism when you actually know what you're talking about chap.

I think maybe a way to go with the davesviews posts is to create a Transfers sub board. He could then start a thread on that every day, perhaps entitled UPDATE, with the date of his post. Once he starts a thread then the previous one would be locked. That way, we wouldn't get a 900 page thread, and it would perhaps be easier for people to keep up with. What do people think about that? Tin hat on.

Tin hat on. I think having a sub board for it is a really good idea Dave. I'm not so sure about locking the threads though, an awful lot of stuff is 'quoted' by posters from things that have been said on previous days ... I assume people wouldn't be able to us this function if the thread was locked?

Im pretty sure he's a lot less in the know than what the believers think, as he is deliberately vague and (IMO) he does this so that if we sign someone, he looks like a saint. However, this window has caught him out IMO.

in 14 odd years of being part of this community of over opinionated wankstains (which i count myself to be part of) i have never encountered anything quite as divisive as david s. views from cobridge.... and i include the whole colchester away story.
for me, he can go to a sub board and take his disciples with him.

No Paul, you wouldn't be able to quote from a locked thread.
In think threads would need locking eventually though, so we could perhaps lock them after three or four days.

Who gives a shit if he is in the know or not. It doesn't matter what he says. All that matters is the signature on the paper of the player. Until then it is just speculation and hopefulness, and really shouldn't effect anyone's lives.

At the end of the day some like it, some don't. If you like it then read and post if you wish. If you don't then ignore it.
I don't think it needs changing, if anything just make it a sticky at the top. People like to fire questions after Dave posts. It gets out of order sometimes but this is a football fans forum. I don't think changing it can be done without ruining it to be honest.

I just think it would keep the board tidier Paul. If you kept threads unlocked and someone replied to a two week old post, putting it above a thread started on the same day it would cause confusion.
It's just a suggestion at this stage though. If anyone else has any other ideas please let me know.

not sure what the problem is with a 900 page thread really, on the "how to you view dave's views" thread the other week it seemed like most people just click on the main man's name and read his posts in isolation anyway, only dipping into the rest of the thread if they feel like it or if they are online at the same time as DV.

Indeed pb. I'm missing the point about why new threads need to be started and then locked. Fair enough create a sub board for transfer rumours but beyond that, I don't really understand the reasoning behind doing much else.
