Luxo Jr. Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Couple of things: First, these articles about Nixon are all from about 4 years ago, so there's a chance that he's more respected now. Still dubious. Second, looking at Lingard's previous seasons in the Championship, he's not brought that many goals to the side - most he managed was 6 in 14 appearances for Birmingham a couple of seasons ago. Granted, I don't know his game, he could well be more assists-based. Still, let's not just blow the roof off because of the name Man Utd and some impressive England U21 performances.

Northern Red Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Nixon is freelance now, apparently very well-connected with certain agents and managers, mainly in the North West. Tends to take the odd wild punt on a story, which damages his credibility somewhat. Can't be ignored, and he does get some very good scoops from time to time, but basically unreliable and should be treated with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always wary of that. There are tons of hot prospect United youngsters who have gone on to achieve.... not a lot. The problem always us that whoever you move to its a long old way down.

Londoner Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 By "lined up" does that mean they're arranged already? Not that I'm aware. But stuff in the pipeline and people who I have spoken to convinced we will get some really good loans in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxo Jr. Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Do you think that is bad for a midfielder? As I said, I don't know him, just watching some YouTube stuff now. Looks good, in some cases very good, but also looks like he commonly plays the Freeman role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your analysis about his goals is flawed. His goal record is roughly 1/5 - he's had loads of loans which take players a while to settle in, he may have made lots of sub appearances or been stuck out on the wing.. That stat about his goals doesn't say much. Freeman didn't score many before he came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted August 4, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 i also think the ploy all the way along has been to wait till big jim white turns up to do a massive unveiling of signings Is he visiting Rovers next? I can see it now, SL has deliberately set up 5 or 6 signings to be announced 1 after another & gives Jim White the exclusive first interview for each. Oh dear Jim, you appear to have stayed here an extra 15 mins and now can't fit Rovers into your schedule, shame that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman hadn't scored many since he's been here, but obviously he brings a whole lot more to the team than just his goal return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Can we trust the sun anymore than Stockhausen. Or are they both involved. If it is true, which we all doubt, I think it's crazy that we'd pay 1mil a year to borrow a player. I guess that's the way the game has gone.
