Brandon Whistle - 2 Year Deal

[smbmetal]

Happy to see him back he really deserves his place.

He says he signed some time ago, so am a bit disappointed we didn’t know about it sooner. Drip feeding news like this at this stage takes the edge off it as we’re all waiting for a big new signing.

I agree with all of that Pete. This drip-feeding nonsense grinds my gears.

Two trains of thought here for me.....

1. The usual we know (the club) something you don't (fans).
2. The club are using the drip feeding approach so not to show our hand too early to our rivals and competitors?

2 reasons why the club does this;

1 - Not to show our hand too early
2 - It's a long summer - drip feed the signings through is the best way to do it to keep the club releasing news during quieter periods

Very positive signing. Glad he is back and feel he will continue to develop. I wonder whether he would have been signed without the import rule which forces all teams to sign British players or whether we would have signed an end of career player overseas player on the cheap?

Great signing, just what we need for our Brit corps. Really pleased for BW, a reward for all his hard work last season.

Not showing our hand hasn’t really worked too well for us really has it. It’s not a game of top trumps.

So with approx 14 or 15 more places to fill, the season will have started before they’re all announced.

I can see the reason why the recruitment doesn’t all happen quickly but holding back on news is a bore.
