Yeah the whole flap thing is derogatory isn't it really and used as a way of diminishing or dismissing sonetimes legitimate feelings
And that’s totally fine in this type of forum. We’re all discussing opinions. Those who feel lower on our flap scale or panic meter or whatever, will be of the opinion that those higher up will be worrying unnecessarily. Those who are worried will be thinking the others are burying their heads in the sand.
I don’t want to be the ‘It’s just bants, lads’ guy when people are bullying or anything, but this isn’t what’s happening. It’s just an exchange of opinions.

Yeah for sure it's not something that bothers me, but concern or whatever on the whole scale of feeling does not = flap but that's kinda how we use it?

I think this is just how we’re trying to communicate our feelings about the current recruitment situation and there’s a clear split between the Panicking Pats and the Chilled-Out Charlies.
Without using the word flapping I’m very concerned about our squad atm it’s a couple of injuries from relegation certs please make this the week business starts to happen
Frustrating but seems we are looking at the right level players that may consider us but have options too, which is better than shit players having our arm off cos nobody else wants them
One thing being missed a bit is that we will likely max out our 4 loan options, and those by definition never happen til the end of the window because they or the clubs want permanent deals usually
So that’s maybe half of what the incomings will be before the indie shuts, from an expectation management point of view we should expect maybe another 4 permanent deals until then.
RW, RB, CM and Aznou at LB I think will all be signed Permanently and then we will fill the squad out with loans
The result of this is likely a slow start, AGAIN, but it is what it is, and it’s better than it’s been
We might have one of them mad few days/week where we sign 3 or 4 and it immediately begins to look brighter.
We absolutely need fresh bodies in before the Roma game. I was saying we needed a few in before the US tour but we really need them in before August 9th. If anything just to get a bit of momentum going.
