Re: Alan Nixon watch
He reports interest.
He can't help it if it doesn't turn out.
Do you think any of them links were untrue?

They could all be true and the deals just didn’t get agreed, some could be true with some made up.
What does seem to be true is the vast majority don’t come off.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
All he does is report when a call has been made or interest has been shown in a player. People seem to make the mistake of thinking that every player he mentions is stuck on to be signing.
Most of the listed players/clubs above (if not all of them) are perfectly reasonable and logical links.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
Hard to say.
But I find the Scott Carson and Dwight McNeil ones to be particularly implausible. Hart to Bournemouth also makes almost no sense at all either.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
He does get a lot right, however, he seems to pedal a lot of nonsense, and sometimes I feel he’s possibly involved with agents and is trying to move along some deals for his buddies by saying that others are interested in player “x” when actually they may never even have heard of that player.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
The potential links between the betting markets on potential transfers, the media and 24/7 news channels are a real concern for me.

Burnley potentially looking for an experienced 3rd choice keeper if, as most of us think, there are one or two departures.
Bournemouth most definitely looking for a goalkeeper and being priced out of a deal for Butland.
They all make sense to me.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
The point we are making is, that if a story comes out on a Friday stating that Burnley are in talks with, for arguments sake Liverpool for Harry Wilson (pervious thread chatter), then on the Sunday he also writes that Newcastle, Palace and Leicester are now all in talks for the same player, whilst inserting a quote such as “Leicester MAY be willing to pay more” this can be seen as him trying to push through a deal for an agent friend or similar things like touting players around to get them a potential transfer!
I believe the latter was done with Oli McBurnie a season or two ago.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
At the start of the January that we signed Robbie Brady, I had been told by someone who is in the know (I don’t class myself as ‘in the know’ at all, but am friends with somebody who is, albeit I don’t get to meet him regularly) that we were in for him - and this had not yet been mooted anywhere. I was told he was our top target and we might even break our transfer record for him.
I tweeted Nixon a few weeks later, we still hadn’t been linked with him (not even a mention on here let alone the tabloids) saying ‘Robbie Brady to Burnley?’. The response was “Never in a million years, far too expensive for Burnley”.
He signed on deadline day.
Nixon does know some stuff for definite as he has broke loads of stories on us which have been true, but I feel there is far more work for his pals in the agent industry going on these days than truly reliable links.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
Pretty insufferable on Twitter.
Often posts about the poor standard of the Premier League but also how good the Partick Thistle youth team is - the irony being none of them will ever be good enough to play at the level he slags off.
When the one in fifty transfer stories he comes up with actually happens, he'll do a really smug tweet about how he called it first. Weird bloke.

Re: Alan Nixon watch
Weird, hyper-sensitive guy. I don’t really get all the fuss around hearing a rumour before anyone else.
Some fans seem fascinated by this guff in the summer, like someone who gets a story first is some sort of hero. They’re not signing anyone, or making any deals, let alone scoring any goals. They’re literally just gossiping for cash.
I’d rather read a journalist with some insight into a sport when there’s actually some action to report on rather than chase around trying to discover something we’ll all know sooner or later anyway.

It's his relation that is the 'in the know' one (I am third in the chain!), I won't say who they're related to so as not to betray a confidence but rest assured, they are certainly somebody who's name you would all know.
Not heard a dicky bird since Crouch, and I rather wish I hadn't heard that.

Why is everyone so against him - he will get told stuff from agents and report what he is allowed to wether it comes off or not everyone likes a transfer story - better things to worry about
