MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nixon has about the same success rate as the U.S. Air Force. I am a fan of Nixons rumours, transfer rumours are what gets me through the summer, but I wouldn't get too excited on our 'targets'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'd think Nixon will come up with De Laet, Wasilewski and James, because he's seen in on t'web. Probably nothing at all in any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 When asked if the players linked were any good he answered with "interesting targets", which to me sounds like they would be surprising targets. With our recent record on targets I'm expecting to read we are considering offering a 12 month contract to Connor Sammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Pretty sure I'll not be able to sleep tonight with the anticipation. Prediction: De Laat, Wasilewski, Assombalongalongalongacongalingalonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Aluko, Kodjia and Hanley are the 3 mentioned by Nixon I said on the suggestions thread Aluko on a free is worth a gamble, Kodjia for 4m apparently, looked good for Bristol City, would take him but id prefer Wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he's having restricted options thrust onto him (i.e previous targets) then we've got no hope. Out of those I wouldn't mind Kodjia, but not convinced about Hanley. I think we need to get a DM or Winger in before a CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to get a DM or Winger in before a CH I think the players being bought in will factor a lot on how Pearson wants us to play . He might think we don't need another designated defensive midfielder if the roles not going to be as pivotal as the previous system . Again with the wingers , Ince, Russel, Camara even Olsson could be seen as options . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 With Powell having been at Huddersfield I would be surprised if Nakhi Wells isn't suggested at some point, if he thinks he is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection, maybe you're not. Where it will be stopped at the border and forced to live in transit camps. We have no more room down here for the offspring of credibility. In years to come, bands of barely creditable rumours will wander the borderlands in search of the mythical Nixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Kodija, 26, striker, Ivory Coast international, hit 20 in 48 in his first season in English football last year Aluko, 27, striker/occasional left winger, left footed, Nigerian international - only scored 3 in 31 last season. Made 51 appearances for Hull in past 2 years but only completed 2 games. Hanley, 24, centre back, left footed, Scottish international Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanley, 24, centre back, left footed, Scottish international Kodija is logical - even if we persist with 433 we need options, but I think that we'll use 442 and then we'll need four strikers anyway. Hanley I like a lot - he'd be the new skipper. He's better than Shackell, and there are few centre halves in the division who you can say that about. He's also much younger, so could be part of our long term plans. Yet (making the seriously dodgy assumption that this is true) I wonder whether this has more to do with the 'back stage' stuff we don't see? There must be a reason why he's never had the armband when pretty much every other player in the squad has had a turn. Maybe (2+2=37) this is the start of Pearson moving out players with a dodgy attitude. Aluko - I wonder if we really need another left footed winger/striker especially one who scores fewer goals than three of our other left footed winger/strikers (Russell, Ince, Weimann) and is older than Camara and Mason Bennett.
