Razaldo9 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Nixon tweeting regarding this loan striker; Waiting on a club signing a striker and sending one on loan to u ... worth the wait ... Works well with what u want to play around him ... at top of list with couple of similar types ... young and outstanding. Also said he's a target man and goalscorer. 20 goal target wouldnt be unreasonable. Quote
Razaldo9 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Connor Whickham. Exactly what i thought, they're after borini too. But i just read he's in the last year of his contract, poyet has said he either signs a new deal or will be sold. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Connor Whickham. Would love that, yes please. Quote
Marc505 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Id have thought Whickham would have played himself into their (or another PL team's?) first team plans with his Player Of The Month performances at the end of last season. Linked with West Ham and Newcastle today. Quote
tylswhite Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Billy Sharp?? I did think of him too but hes not really a target man type though. Not that young either. Edited August 4, 2014 by tylswhite Quote
tyldesley_white Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Billy Sharp?? more like Billy the fish Quote
Garrp Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 if it is id love it to be harry kane but it wont be Quote
Horwich Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Harry kane is a top shout... Not gonna happen tho Quote
Sweep Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Id have thought Whickham would have played himself into their (or another PL team's?) first team plans with his Player Of The Month performances at the end of last season. Linked with West Ham and Newcastle today. I agree, he finished off quite well last season. I would have thought he'll be staying in the PL Quote
superkev Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Nixon says young and outstanding and is worth the wait. He's certainly building it up. I remember he did that with the Tuncay loan. Built it up as though we were signing Ronaldo Quote

Built it up as though we were signing Ronaldo You don't sell papers without sensationalism I'm not convinced either way if Nixon knows much stuff these days or just gathers vague crap Quote
Razaldo9 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I thought of Kane too, but he has hardly been prolific anywhere. 2 in 15 at Leicester at this level. Spurs also only have 3 strikers. Nixon is definitely bigging it up again. Hard not to expect someone decent. Quote
dpr halliwell Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Being relatively new on here - who is this Nixon fella and is he normally accurate? Quote
Garrp Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Being relatively new on here - who is this Nixon fella and is he normally accurate? all the judges will tell you no but he's been the first to beak every single one of our transfers for the last 5 years. Quote
Razaldo9 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 @reluctantnicko on twitter, writes for the mirror. In my opinion he definitely builds up interest by being vague, but he does seem to be our best source. Quote
Carlos Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 In the modern era where players in League One are millionaires with a string of agents, Nixon is a nobody unless he has a source lower down the pecking order e.g. the kitman/tea lady (which he did in Coyle's crew). Fuck knows why he keeps blethering on about us or why people engage him. Obviously he fucking loves the attention. Modern day Clubcall. Quote

Fuck knows why he keeps blethering on about us or why people engage him. Obviously he fucking loves the attention. Modern day Clubcall. Agree with much of that. Despite what some folk think, nothing against Nixon, seems a decent enough fella. But he's all about his sources. In the Coyle era, he had it nailed on with BWFC rumour, but with Freedman, his sources seem a lot weaker, probably agents and word from other more friendly club sources elsewhere. He has some info, that's certain. But it's vague - and if he's breaking it on Twitter, probably even more vague as that makes him no money. Hence the riddles. Personally I don't really care who we might sign, only who we have signed. If folk enjoy Nixon's hints, good on them. No harm in it. Quote
MalcolmW Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I thought of Kane too, but he has hardly been prolific anywhere. 2 in 15 at Leicester at this level. Spurs also only have 3 strikers. Nixon is definitely bigging it up again. Hard not to expect someone decent. He only hhad 5 starts at Leicester, so 2 from 15 tells less than half a story. I followed Kane's career with interest from early days, as he had a namesake who played CF for Leyton Orient reserves in about 1950, but retired at 21/22 after shoulder injuries. He turned to athletics and became an international athlete at 400m Hurdles. For a long time I thought he might be HK's grandfather, but no longer think so. Quote
