Whats negative about it? He's probably right

Well it's positive news and my hunch is that it is likely to be someone we already know. My reasoning is that they're less likely to put someone in that position who might find it daunting not having met any of our mob before.

Conversely, someone who is already popular and would be comfortable with it would be a returning player.

Dare I suggest it might be Jordan Houghton, given DF hinted he might be re-signed this window as his recovery has been swift?

My theory could be a load of tosh but whoever it is, I hope he's made very welcome.

Had an email from rovers with a link to watch the announcement of our new signing... this all seems a bit over the top for a young lad on loan from sheff u... could it be someone different ??

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on June 22, 2017, 04:14:18 pm
I should've received one but the club are aware I'm not receiving them. They're working on an issue with a 3rd party provider. In the meantime, they are sending e-mails out manually to those of us affected. The media team seem to have their handsful firefighting these issues at the moment.

Ben Whiteman...apparently the best kept secret in football
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: CottyRover on June 22, 2017, 05:04:28 pm
Seems a lot of fuss for a loan signing
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: idler on June 22, 2017, 05:05:18 pm
Who thinks these ideas up?
I think that this will be an anti climax for a lot of fans.
We knew that he was coming and most were expecting an extra signing.
I am sure that he will do well for us though.🙂
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: CottyRover on June 22, 2017, 05:07:35 pm
Yes, a good signing I'm sure but a little underwhelming since we've known for a long time!
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: steve@dcfd on June 22, 2017, 05:07:43 pm
Let's hope there is a fanfare for the other three signings we need CB, MF and striker plus securing JM for a longer.
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: foxbat on June 22, 2017, 05:08:22 pm
I am certainly disappointed .
The Whiteman loan is very good - but , like many I suspect ,
I was hoping this would be an additional signing.
A lot needs doing before the start of the season I think.

Yes DBR, think they have the same problem with my email address. They thought they had sorted it but clearly they haven't. Hopefully will be sorted before the next signing!

Maybe a titbit to keep fans happy while others in the background are taking longer than expected.
I just feel that building it up like this has done Ben no favours.

Club taking the piss again. Build the fans hopes up of a signing encourage fans to come and meet him at 5pm. Then announce a loan signing that if you listen to football heaven blades manager announced it 2 weeks ago.   
Title: Re: New signing tomorrow
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on June 22, 2017, 05:14:44 pm
I share the puzzlement about the fuss made of a loan signing. Nevertheless, now it's confirmed what we already know, he looks a strapping lad and is a Welcome addition.

I do wonder if they used this to test the new medium of transmitting live via the Facebook page.

The poor lad won't have to be on duty meeting fans for long I suspect.

Not taking the piss , just trying to sell more season tickets. Can't blame the club for trying to create an excitement about all new signings. Yes we have known about this signing but until 15 minutes ago it wasn't official.
For me the club can do all this hype. It may upset some but it's a case of damned if they do and damned if they don't. Just my opinion of course!
