I still had my cup of tea and the Thompson signing was as good as the tea.

I think someone uploaded it a little early. A happy mistake I think. The video looks completely legitimate unless it’s one of those deep fake things. Whose interest would that serve? This is an exciting development.

Really hope Kent is right. That would be a great effort from the club to make it happen.

I have analysed the video in detail and I believe it is very good but certainly a professionaly made 'deep fake'. The level of detail is one of the best I have seen which indicates it has been manufactured by one of the rogue states in the world possibly North Korea, Russia or the other one.

It was definitely up there earlier with a five minute Interview with Archibald on his delight at signing. This is the link where I saw it and it’s down now (I promise!) Perhaps they added it too soon or by mistake to allow for the Thompson news to resonate and so took it down Either way no doubt they’ll re-publish it on the channel later on. You will see 🙂 False alarm. Thompson signs a two year deal. No news about Archibald. Good news about Tommo. A similar incident happened before when the club was in the process of appointing Fletcher as manager. I think the media team get a bit over excited in their quest to get “ news” out there! 😄. Hopefully just a temporary delay👍🤞 |

Theo fitted in well last season so let us hope that official news of him signing for the Os happens soon.

What's with the Jack Payne reference at the top of the video. Not convinced that he has signed

Really good news, really good, excellent.
I think it is also indicative that RW is staying and not leaving to go back to Swindon.

Though managers do leave after signing players, I don’t think Swindon are interested. Recall many years ago Jimmy Bloomfield signed a good player in Ian Bowyer. Shortly after, Bloomfield moved to Leicester City. Big step up. We played Leicester City in the cup that year at their old ground. I had the delight of watching Bowyer score both goals in a 2-0 win. Sweet. |

If Theo is to sign there can be no announcement until Friday when the transfer window opens. Maybe an announcement was pre-recorded with Lincoln's agreement (to allow Theo to go on holiday?) and uploaded by mistake. Check the queue at the Job Centre to see if anyone will fess up. Or maybe it's a fake. Either way I still think there is a strong chance Theo will sign.

Very happy to be wrong about the timing of the announcement!

This is a massive signing and its hopefully conclusively shows that the club wants to be challenging this coming season. Ritchie seems to have got everyone he wanted signed now if we give him what he wants to complete the squad then its game on.
Proper buzzing that Theo is now an O. Go smash it out the park Theo and get us the promotion we so badly crave.

Fantastic I was hopeful out of Archibald,James and Ruel we’d get two of them to get all three is really great news and they wouldn’t have come cheap with those three plus the forwards we already have we have a head start on most I’d say we now just need a couple of good midfielders and we’ll be real contenders this season |
