Pipped to the Post

Nixon reporting earlier this morning that our 'young centre back' has joined another team in Europe instead of us.

He won't say who it is though.

Nixon seems gutted about it, he clearly thought we had the player in the bag and that it was only a matter of time before he signed for us. So, that's one player that turned us down so far. We need another centre half though so lets hope Coyle gets on the case quickly.

Also, Sanchez still delaying decision. Need an answer from him quickly.

Unnamed player signs for unnamed club in unnamed country.

Surprised Nixon has time to post on Twitter, surely he's too busy writing his Sports Writer Of The Year acceptance speech in readiness for his inevitible win.

BSA has let Faye go free - maybe it was him.

Oh wait - Nixon say's "young"

I wonder where Rafael has gone/is going - as his twin is staying at OT maybe he'd like to stay close by ..... ?

Great final yesterday - and the debate is, will British sides start to emulate Spain and play without strikers.

I thought WE did that last year .....

That's a fair comment.

Don't really want to discuss Nixons credibility. The point is, he has reported this information, just a someone reported Mark Davies to Liverpool, people still discussed it.

It also still leaves the point; we need another defender.

My guess at who it was would be Khumalo from Spurs who has just joined PAOK on loan.

To be honest whilst getting another centre-back in is a must I think I would prefer it to be a loan signing.

If we get Mills wrapped up in the next few days then we have 3 fit senior centre-backs in Mills, Knight and Ream with Wheater back around the start of next year and Ricketts more than able to fill in if needed. Meanwhile we have Ricketts, Mears, Riley and Alonso in the full-back slots.

I'd say a young (versatile) defender on loan as cover and we're set defensively.

Its in the forward departments we need strengthening.

Sounds like it was Kalibou Koulibaly (who?)
