Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Knight would be an impressive signing but we've probably left it far too late... We had the chance a few seasons ago when we were last linked to him and I would be very surprised if we were to beat some of the bigger clubs for his signature.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Unfortunately, the chances of us signing an established, proven goalscorer at this level are slim and none and slim's out of town!.. Whatever striker we decide to buy, it's going to be a gamble with a large element of risk.I’m honestly not bothered about missing out on Muleka. Can’t help but feel as though he was a risk. Could have obviously paid off but who knows. Would much rather see us go in for an established championship goal scorer.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
I don't think there should be any WP problems for Muleka. My understanding is that anyone who played regularly in Belgium or Turkey last season should qualify for one with no issue at all and he did both.

Watford and Boro are battling out to get Adam Armstrong on loan. Surely we'd be in with a chance there.

Being local, he's also the sort of reporter the club might use to put out stories to force a player or agents hand. You just give him the odd truth every now and again to give him at least a semblance of credibility and people will believe his word over others.Flying Without Ings wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 9:47 amBoden’s ‘sources’ or ‘information’ are usually from other outlets/pages on Twitter rather than from someone inside the club. So I would be extremely surprised if he knew anything more than the next man at this stage.
Like you said FWI, he's more of a copier than a supplier of information, but tbh most of twitter is just that unfortunately. Added to that you have agents/players leaking stuff to get their names out there (Stephens article) or improve their negotiations, and then just a host of attention seekers just throwing random **** out there to get clicks/followers - if just one comes true they are seen as being "in the know" when in reality they know sweet FA.
Nixon is seen as a messiah, but in reality he uses all of the above tactics so whilst is hit rare is higher, he's also peddling a lot of crap or being used/paid by agents - when stuff doesn't happen, he just says things have changed to cover his story (and the majority can't be disproved so he gets away with it).

What's your issue with him?
A good servant to the club, and played a big part in our PL survival in previous seasons.
I'm not a huge fan of his style personally, but I have no ill will towards him whatsoever.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Who are you talking about?
Jay Rodriguez has only played one season at this level in the last decade, granted he got 22, but to be 'established' at this level he'd have to play a few seasons at least
Ashley Barnes' best season at this level was 11 goals.
Matej Vydra is now a free agent
Weghorst and Cornet are both unlikely to be here and have never played at that level.
We're down to two strikers, both of which are either inexperienced at this level or haven't got results.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Exactly Barnes will be an handfull along with Rodriguez who both won't play all season but will score, then there's vydra deadly at this level when back, he'll probably play after the world cup, he'll be like a new signing, these three will play alongside Twine etc

If they get the supply, I would find it hard to imagine Jay/Ash/Twine/McNeil could have better seasons and their goal returns.
Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Kompany’s system needs pace up front for movement in behind. A new striker needs to be at the top of the priority list. Barnes is ok as a 4th choice, hopefully Richardson is before him.

Did you forget the two seasons Rodriguez had in the Championship with us, where he scored 14 and 15 goals?

I never said they wouldn't score goals at that level.
I said they are not 'established' or 'proven' Championship goal scorers.

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
Got to say that Nixon has been spot on this window with all four signings, being the first to break at least a couple of them.
It's clear he knows one or two agents rather than someone within the club.
He's not said anything about Mukela and Bastien.

Fabrizio Romano much better when it comes to the wider picture, bigger clubs and European business.

He gets 10 points for playing for a band 2 club. He also gets points from the table in the top right of this tweet for playing % of minutes for a band two club. Given he played 19 times for Standard (also a band 2 club) and 12 times for Kasimpasa I'm assuming he is at least in the 40-49% bracket which would get him the 5 extra points needed.
