KeNDAILIL Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 They've got buy out clauses at hull (since relegation) I'd imagine it can't be much more than the 2.5 they paid/we offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Alan Nixon has a name "coming in the paper tomorrow" with regards to our striker search. BC supporters page asked him on Twitter with regards to Nahki Wells. He said we were working our way down the list, but not sure Wells is next. Prepare for the next 50 page mammoth thread. Interesting to see who, and I know we can do more than one thing at a time, but it is striker after striker, which remains in my mind not our biggest area needing depth at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Take it there was nothing interesting then. So was nixon talking rubbish? Probably just a throw away line somewhere in the paper, not enough to be published online so we'll have to wait for someone to buy the rag and have a look.

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 He put a fair few away for Watford last season & one or two others have mentioned his name as a possibility. I'd personally rather we got a defender & midfielder in first. I'm honestly in the belief that we are trying to get those positions covered & it's the agents that have shafted us by going public on our striker offers so that they can line their pockets & make other clubs rush with their offers!! But if Gray would rather live in & around Burnley then he's clearly an idiot & I'm happy that we've not spent God knows how much on him. He`s from Wolverhampton, so must be used to shit tips.

Fordy62 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Ok... Just woken up in hotel room. Bride and groom have rather selfishly stipulated that we must join then for breakfast at 10am thus preventing our quick getaway. So I'm going to go and buy the newspaper to see who Nixon has linked us with. Am I right in thinking it's the Sunday people? Does that even exist anymore?

Fordy62 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Is it not the "Sun on Sunday"? You were correct. And the name linked is Vydra. Although the article suggests Watford are set to hike their asking price after seeing how much Burnley paid for Gray. It was 3m, now nearer 8m. Reading also interested.

citywest30 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Good work fordy. Why has no-one started a 50 page Vydra link yet? I might go and do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Isn't the whole Vydra fee situation complicated by the fact that the Italians who own Watford also own his previous club (Udinese) as well as Granada in Spain, too? Effectively all transfers between these three clubs see them paying themselves, so when Watford borrowed something like ten players from the other two teams two years ago (a loophole that is now closed) they were able to get away with what looked to me like dodgy dealings and was at the least, creative accounting..That's a good point; may very well be some kind of paper shuffling exercise in their part - certainly seems bizarre that they'd sign him between managers, and then have no interest in playing him. Will be interesting to note if he plays it is in the squad today. Others have said he'd have admirers elsewhere, even if we were keen, but would certainly be a player I'd be very happy if we signed.

samo II Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just paid 1.2 million for a toaster and microwave from John Lewis I hear. Offered that, plus add-ons, but couldn't agree a warranty agreement, so the deal is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 How about Ruben, Loftus and Cheek from Chelsea?, all on the the bench today and 3 players you wouldn't say no to, I would say something about a cheeky bid but some people don't like puns.

Guest Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Anyone else feel this Nixon chap was ITK re Gayle but now is possibly riding the crest of a wave?

Davefevs Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just paid 1.2 million for a toaster and microwave from John Lewis I hear. Surely we can get better players than John-Lewis from Grimsby????? Last time I saw SC, he had just bought a new clothes horse for his wife.....on the recommendation from Keith Burt I think. Prior to that it was a cart horse from Brighton!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Not heard any rumours about Ian Harte but just thought, we were linked with konchesky, so would not surprise me if we went in for Harte considering he is a free agent.

JoeAman08 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'd really be happy with Byrne from Swindle. He's wearing their #10 shirt this season and he can play absolutely everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression this chap will now link us to all possibilities until we sign someone. As I mentioned during the Lingard speculation, he's well in with several agents and managers but tends to pull off the odd gem of a scoop, as opposed to being consistently reliable.
