hypochondriac

Every single one of your posts is talking about some imaginary scenario where everyone believes every single thing that Nixon says on twitter, when in realisty people are judging him by his past record (where he has written accurately about our targets) and finds some of what he says interesting. Your posts are infinitely sadder than everyone elses.

I think most people are realistic and appreciate that whilst we have done brilliantly, there are clearly a number of positions that need to be improved (and perhaps should have been improved to increase our chances of a result in this game but that's a different point.) Outstanding players like Lallana, Lambert and Cork etc should be kept but we should be more ruthless and get rid of the players who aren't up to it or bring in places which will relegate the other players to the bench (as we have done with Richardson.)

IF we signed him we would be confident he will play regularly. If we signed him I would be delighted. We need to invest in a proven quality CB, it is vital to our success this year.

I agree but I can't see Blackpool selling to us. I reckon they will risk keeping him there and then if they don't go up they will sell next year. I would sign Ramirez and invest some serious money (6-8 million) on a proven CB.

I reckon that three or less signings will see us struggle to stay up. Might be alright with three though just need to inject some pace and urgency throughout the team.

That would be amazing. I reckon it will be more likely a CB and two wingers with another CB on loan.

A bad week for the surname Armstrong...

Pretty sure it is the opinion of the wider footballing community that he is talking about rather than the views of the 'mongs' on here...

TBF it was the management talking of that as a target.

I think most supporters at least considered it an area we had to concentrate on since at least January as we only had Martin (not ready for the prem) as backup with Seaborne out.

I didn't claim we did but we were looking like likely promotion candidates. We bought lee at least with the premier league in mind.

We have had since January to get a premier league quality centre back in.

That's why I said would be good to know what the snag is. I guess we will find out by who we actually sign I suppose.

Possibly. Would be good to know what this snag is.

And with good reason TBH. We desperately need a CB and hearing these deals hitting various 'snags' fills no one with confidence. Four days to go...

What is the big deal?

Very disappointed if we sign him TBH (though obviously will give him a chance to see how he does.)

I would give them a chance, but it flies in the face of our own stated ambition. Our words would not back up our actions.

Probably the likes of Dann then.

I never said that. If we don't get at least three (hoping for four) players in by this time next week then we have failed somewhere along the line IMO.

Where did he say that?

Probably the same reason he has known the majority of transfer targets we have been in for this year. Clearly has a source in the club.

TBF Nigel would say that whatever the state of the squad is. He pretty much toes the party line.

Doesn't seem to be harming them...
