Just watching Nigeria vs Burundi in the AFCON, there’s been some serious tackles flying in, I’ll be amazed if there’s anyone left to sign by the end. It’ll just be a pile of shin bones and Jon Obi Mikel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused.com. Imo. Nothing will really kick off with transfers until July. More like backtracking to try and hold on to some perceived credibility. He has absolutely no clue who we are going to sign but is probably told by his bosses that he needs to print some rumours. So he says we have lots of money and puts bogus targets out there, then says we are broke so can't sign the players he made up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say no to Clarke though. If we're going to overpay for anyone, let it be Tyrone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I’m sure it will just be a case of moving on to the next target should they decide better value can be sort elsewhere. I suspect several players of equal quality are earmarked and we will work through the list seeking best value and best fit. Nothing article stopped reading it when it said we were forced to give Steer a new contract .... He bloody well deserves it . Clickbait journalism ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Id like us to sign Bielik from Arsenal, I think he's Prem ready and can play both DM and CB although I'd play him DM at that level. Very strong and good on the ball, feel he'd really suit our side. He'll probably end up at someone like Sheffield United though.

Fits with his story about Leeds wanting 30 for Kalvin Phillips. I always thought Nixon does know some stuff, and for a journo does a lot of interacting/sharing on twitter which is cool. I just don’t think any of them know what we are doing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say he would go to the US to see his son but I’d say this is his family holiday to Portugal now his daughter has finished High School exams. Anyway, with our new director of football structure would Smith be the one racing around chasing players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 You know it's funny because I'm the least ITK person in the world (apart from Nixon and the Birmingham mail), i don't know anyone that knows what goes on a VP but for some reason i was absolutely sure we were going to sign someone of Friday. I was in a meeting all day so couldn't check my phone but I was sure something was going to happen. When i checked my phone at about 15:00 i was gutted we hadn't signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixon on the other hand writes garbage, makes shit up and does so to try and save a decaying paper/industry. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So we've been priced out of moves for Butland, Etheridge, Mings and Phillips. If only they played football in other countries, then we wouldn't have to go about chucking twice as much money as we should at other English clubs for their players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I wonder if El Ghazi hadn't announced himself and that Belgian journalist hadn't announced Big Wes if we'd be panicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and I think it’s why all journo talk linking us to high fee English/British based players needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. They’re making obvious links. We may be enquiring about these players but it doesn’t mean they are our first choices. I would imagine the club would make a lot of enquiries to see what might stick based on their long list of targets, then remove the expensive ones and whittle the list down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Not really paying any attention to the gossip, as our blessed powers that be are doing all their business underneath the radar, and so they should. Its quite pointless otherwise. We know journos are full of shit, and I cant help but feel that I am a happier person without Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
