Transfer targets (74 Viewers)

Is he trying to say there’s a European club in for our target, or is he saying the target is playing for a European club? Terribly worded

I read it as the former.

Anyway...back to topic...another clue on the ambitious signing

That bloke from Malmo.

although the way that tweet is poorly written he could be on about anything

I'm taking it as its a local target with a potential European side in for them too, could still be a player currently playing in another country though

…a European club in for ? O’Hare?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Nah,

It's not a troll account, it's 100% real.

Concerning.

Talking about an incoming

It's so vague it's meaningless

Nixon should just say who it is and be done with it

I’m guessing it’s the Euro Disney characters. Donald Duck on the wing, Mickey Mouse as the Godden replacement and Goofy in goal.

Tbf to him, he has said he reckons we'll get top six and get promoted. Yeh very vague on the "ambitious" one though

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Talking about an incoming

for definite?

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

I’m sure that’s a well done troll account, no one can seriously believe some of the stuff he posts.

Rupert/slowpoke is genuine though and has been going a long time!

Wasn't he something like Magwitch as well?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes if go onto his account he’s responding to a Coventry fan asking for an update about the “ambitious target”

That was another one, Eleanor Rigby on GMK too I think it was

that Adjei was wanted by European teams too, maybe it’s him - although not beyond the realms of possibility and I wouldn’t say it’s particularly ‘Stop Press’

 

[Happy_Martian]

People believing Nixon is right about any of this is almost as funny as the Twine joke. As vague as possible so if we sign anyone, he can claim credit. If we don't, it was too "ambitious" for us currently.

Don't think he's been close on any of our transfer activity and has a negative rep among a lot of football fans.

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Always wondered whether @2024/25 League 1 Champs? might go on to regret his choice

He’s obviously referring to the Premier league and has got a bit mixed up between division one and league one

It reads more like it's a European club in for one of our players

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I agree

 

[shmmeee]

He’s talking about a club in for our “ambitious” target there. Not someone in for our players. .

He’s more often right than any other journo covering transfers in EFL.

 

[Astute]

It was odd that they were chasing the game and took Chair off…

He certainly brings something to the table that's needed. Not much on a football pitch these days though.

What has he got right since Sheaf?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I’ve always wondered what Alan Nixon looks like

 

[Astute]

Could Grendel and DOD be the same person? Flitting between accounts and having an E-scrap every day.

No. But they are lovers though

Exactly what I’d expect a football correspondent to look like TBF

it’s not clear though, and could be interpreted at least two or three different ways - purposely vague?

 

[shmmeee]

No it is clear from the context and the wording. When asked about our ambitious signing why wouldn’t randomly start talking about an outgoing player without specifying that?

I think he also sells bags or at least has something to do with that bag shop behind him….

pointless random fact for you all there

agree to disagree

the question was “…..or any other deals…..”

the answer was …..”a European club in but not agreed a fee yet”

pretty ambiguous to me, although I agree the question was mainly about transfers in

 

[Happy_Martian]

You could also read it as " There's another Euro club in for this amazingly ambitious player. They haven't agreed a fee either".

Vague, uninformative and open to any interpretation.

 

[David O'Day]

No. But they are lovers though

in his dreams

 

[SleepyGinger]

Wonder if Nixon mystery man is Ahmedhodzic, meant to be leaving blades. Would definitely be ambitious.

 

[David O'Day]

Nixon can claim to be so "accurate" as his rumours are at best ambiguous so can be read in many ways.
