mightysasquatch Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Love it when people think they are ITK based on what they read on twitter [emoji2] Not sure if that was aimed at me but I was talking about the actual news reports. Same, which I saw via Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 starting for Nice today in a friendly. So presumably not close........ Thats dissapointing. This is one signing i'd really like to see us make this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 As I understand, no serious interest from Arsenal. They were linked maybe a few months back so they are mentioned in the articles on that basis. The issue has always been Lyon and the player's oreference for them. Yep, can't see why Arsenal would be interested when they have Monreal (who actually had a brilliant second half of the season) and Kieron Gibbs. The Sun who've been strong on this story said today we've agreed a 7m fee anyway so up to convince the player now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one signing i'd really like to see us make this summer. yeah me too. 8 man of the match performances from left back speaks volumes of his play. No matter the league.. to be the best player from left back in 1/4 of the games is amazing. still not off i guess but its a shame as it appears its not close otherwise he would have been left out. I think that Chery lad is currently playing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 starting for Nice today in a friendly. So presumably not close........ He's still got to keep fit right? I suppose it depends what we classify as "close". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feidhlim Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I don't think anyone will sign while we are in Portugal. Gueye being the exception since it was pretty much done before Tim left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighavfc Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hope we pull this one off. We might actually have a good left back for change!!! 50/50 chance of him signing though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gueye being the exception since it was pretty much done before Tim left Given how we're set up to sign players (i.e. we basically have a transfer committee rather than just Tim doing it), I seriously doubt this is the case.

I'm surprised Nice played him if they accepted a bid from us. This deal is away off, if there was even any truth in it in the first place imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the two clubs are agreeing stuff but the question mark is how keen is the player, I don't think he's in a rush to sign for us put it that way.

Condimentalist Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 From what I've read about this player this would be a really fantastic signing. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Nixon was at the Mirror for years but now writes for the Sun, think he's moved there in the last 6 months. It actually amuses the press criticising players for more money and yet the top Journos regularly move between papers for more money. It's life.
