Wainy316 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sweet, looks like this is on then. How close do we reckon he is to breaking into the full French squad, I mention a few months back I was surprised to see Sagna and Evra still as first choice full backs so a full season in the prem raising his profile and he could just sneak into the Euro 2016 squad. Based on? Based on Reilly not being at the kit launch I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nixon has some good contacts in the game. As I've said before he knows Willy McKay the agent and his son was doing the Idrissa Gueye deal. He used to post on a Blackburn message board as he's based up there.....remember summer 2008 when we signed Friedel and wanted Bentley from them. Nixon's updates every 48 hours were getting posted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Simon Jones was the one to break our bid for Gueye. Him corroborating the story makes me more confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
