Benguin Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 Can we only lock transfer threads if they are either no longer necessary as the player has signed for us/someone else/signed new contract or if there is no real source linking us to them? Iheanacho isn't a Leicester player yet so I don't see why we cant speculate on the transfer, even if the majority of said speculation is the same old nonsensical turd or "jokes" that we have somehow become accustomed to on here. I mean we're going through the toughest time a footy fan can go through, made even worse by no international competition and the least we can do to get by is talk crap about transfers.

Fox92 Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 I was loving the Iheanacho thread. Dunno why certain threads are locked so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 The summer is so boring, a lot of the transfer threads is just unfunny crap but occassionally there is stuff on them that makes me crease. If you log onto Foxes Talk expecting factual news then you're always going to be disappointed. Not one of the transfer threads has a lot of substance in it so it's a but hypocritical to close one because it's more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 I wouldn't mind a feature on each thread on the main page which kind of says what's going on. It is a bit of a pain seeing 4 pages of posts thinking something's happened before you find it's another Morrisons medical wankfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 Some of the transfer threads are alright, with most of the discussions usually on-topic about the player in question. However, more recently and quite frustratingly, the bigger threads have gone off-topics at times where it appears to be the same posters who try and be 'funny' who derail the thread and go on a discussion/"banter" about something unrelated and not funny just annoying.

Great Boos Up Posted 15 July 2017 Share Posted 15 July 2017 Can we just unlock the thread please. If it gets too off topic can a warning notice be applied. I'm all for puns and banter but I understand that when actual pictures of faeces are posted it's gone too far but in terms of Leicester City this is very important. Just seen it's unlocked, thanks. I should have looked first. Still; the warning symbol is a good idea. Amend: Actually just read the recent 6 pages; lock it again please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueBrett Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 Would be nice if when a thread was locked whoever locked it could add a final post stating the reason...'Signed for City'...'Gone elsewhere'...'Signed new deal'...'Too much BS in this thread'..etc I'm only talking about a few words, wouldn't want to create too much extra work for you guys.
