Friday signings are announced!

Caly in our Alley

Jack Armstrong
Of course there will be a signing on Friday. Friday is, after all, a Good Day: the last day at work before the weekend, fish and chips night, Have I Got News For You is on, it's the one day of the week when any football match seems winnable, and so on and so forth. This poses an important problem, however. If Friday can be defined as a, no, the Good Day, then how could a signing occur on any day other than Friday? This conundrum can be solved, but only if we accept the inadequacy of our definitions. Perhaps Friday should not be used to denote a specific, fixed day of the week, but an idea, which is infinitely more subtle and nuanced than the normative and prescriptive assertion that Friday must fall on the fifth day of 'the week.'

The question we should be asking, therefore, is not whether there will be a signing on Friday, but what is the fundamental meaning of Friday itself? This is a challenging and imaginative approach, but it does offer a constructive and integrated framework within which the 'signings question' can be fruitfully discussed in the future.

I know what you mean, in the middle of may, there was lots of definite talk of who we wanted straight after the season finished. And still nothing, officially anyway.

Imagine if it was Michael Owen we announced tomorrow.

You beat me to it, Super Scab!

Forest do have a track record in exciting signings, meaning ageing vaguely has-beens seeking a cash-tastic season while providing little to their new team...

And then I saw Owen touting himself round clubs....

Surely we wouldn't be that stupid, would we...?

Our history with this does point to that! however, and I don't know why I am even contemplating this really, but Owen would be the best of such signings. Who knows, stranger things have happened, and usually Trentside!!

David McGoldrick?

With the news that we can't pay wages this month, I can't see why not.

Although everything has gone quiet with your interest.. If you're still interested in this superstar. :ph34r:

I would imagine, that as a sensible seeming chap, he's not saying a word until there is something he can definitely confirm, or just keeping schtum on the grounds that his sense will get swamped in all the bollocks that others have come out with.

And fair play to him for that.
