Whether it came from Tony, the players agent or the other club I would have thought Tony would have mentioned it on Twitter if that was now the case. He tweets about near enough everything else! True, but he would have made a bit of a fool of himself u-turning so soon after his initial tweet. This way he can move to the next midfielder on the list and sign that one without explicitly contradicting himself. I'm not a massive Pat Murphy fan, but in my experience he defo doesn't make info up out of thin air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm think he just means the midfielder Xia referred to yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 As said yesterday, Gareth Barry would be an incredible signing. Too good to be true unfortunately. He's exactly what we need in midfield though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he's said is that the move for the midfield would hopefully be completed by Saturday and Murphy has said its stalled. Anyway if Tone was picking them out he's doing a good job so far!!

Murphy's tweet I think - "Understand the midfielder wanted by Dr Tony isn't a runner". I think it's just phrasing, though. As in, Dr Xia referred to signing the midfielder so much easier to reference him rather than "Midfielder spoken about by Dr Tony but wanted by RDM..." etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Bid for Amadou Diawara, who is a huge talent. Very hard to believe he would join a Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 maybe this was the exciting signing that supposedly fell through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvey13 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 well that would have been a big sign of intent, imagine wages would have been through the roof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 With Riley watching Wolves last night, do you think we've bid for one of the players? Looking at the line up I'd hope for Hause, if we were getting anyone from Wolves I'd want Iorfa but think Hause would be a good left footed CB/ LB to add depth and balance.

PieFacE Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Hmmm... You'd hope that Tony wouldn't be tweeting about players hopefully being signed before Saturday without it being a nearly done deal? Though, I appreciate things can change quickly in football.

AntrimBlack Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Xia also said it would be very exciting. That might indicate a marque player, and would possibly, because of that, be more likely to fall through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
