The Players Forums...scrap or keep?

It's being discussed in the staff room and I would like your opinion before anything is done.

The idea is to scrap it. So all threads would be in the Arsenal Forum. To be honest most threads members make are made in the Arsenal forum and myself or staff move them to the relevant player forum.

It will NOT be one thread to discuss a player in. Too many posts/news on the player would be lost.

Any questions please ask. I'll add a poll to get an idea of what you think.

why dont you make 1 player forum that all the individual player discussion can be placed?

and you can put player threads in?

4 threads in Arsenal talk minus the sticky topics have been posted in since Thursday. So I don't see much difference in making another forum for the players if that makes sense.

i think that's because we arent playing much football during the season it will be far more active imo

it's only a suggestion though not too fussed either way

A player forum with a thread for each player would probably be the best?

I.e The "Sanchez signs for Arsenal" thread is being used for all news regarding him ATM.

For the sake of discussion probably scrap it.

The amount of new threads that pop up on certain subjects just end up getting merged and it narrows the discussion.

Also keeping up with players being sold, loaned etc we'll live without it imo.

Don't need all the youth and reserve threads IMO but would be good for the first teasers if they had a thread each just to put everything in to.

There wont be one thread for a player. You would have to read back pages to see if a news article has been posted and most people would miss it. At least if its a new thread about the subject, its easy to find.

It was alexafc12 idea with the reserves, I think it certainly seems a lot cleaner in there.
