[Archived] Summer Transfer/discussion Thread

[Neal]

Rumours on twatter that we're in for Adam Reach along with 3/4 other clubs. Impressed me when i watched him, physical solid winger at this level.

[gumboots]

I'll need to Google him

[Al]

It isn't that there just isn't much news from elsewhere

I'm sure just yesterday we discussed Ryan Taylor, Steven Taylor, O'Hara, Kanacilic, Frimong, Sanogo, Hutchinson and others none of which were mentioned by Donald from Benidorm

I also think it's a self fulfilling prophecy - such highlight has been brought on Chaddy and Nixon that any time it's mentioned someone has to comment on it being chaddy and Nixon and create more Chaddy / Nixon posts.

We started a Nixon thread but Chaddy refuses to use it, preferring to deliberately irritate people on this thread.

[Mike E]

Tbf Al, having different threads for one journo and one for the rest is just a bit weird. If anything it glorifies Nixon. All transfer discussion in one place, with possibly a separate thread for just links (all links) works better for all concerned.

Stuart asked for other opinions and it seems most of us mods are in relative consensus about chaddy and Nixon not being a problem.

I don't even like reading the Nixon rumours myself most of the time as it's just rubbish. But it's a Rovers messageboard and they are Rovers-related snippets. No issue there.

Wolves and Preston are two of the others so we have little chance of getting him

Sure Rhodes will warn him off too

3 club rule?

Actually it's not. It's the fact that Chaddy posts everything Nixon says as though it's gospel truth. There was a time when I read Nixon's posts on here with interest. Now I'm not bothered, I've got Chaddy on ignore and I've resigned myself to transfers being underwhelming in the extreme. Life is much better.

On another angle, why find out earlier than others about the next crap signing we are making! What's the rush?

I prefer the bad news as late as possible.

I've already tried to cover this. Ironically in a bid to keep the transfer thread clean and stop descending into spats (and it's not just me who is frustrated by it - some well respected posters too).

Genuine transfer news and speculation in one thread - and Twittle-Twattle in another (including Nixon so as not to glorify him).

It's not weird at all. Nixon is a known entity and has history. He infuriates by teasing, chatting @#/? and then say "oh, somebody changed their mind" - because he is never wrong.

Now we have the additional frustration - since he went into self-imposed exile - of a groupie only posting what he says.

But clearly I'm in the minority and this IS what BRFCS has become and this is the kind of content that is wanted by the site - as confirmed by the 'consensus of the mods' - so I'll put Chaddy on ignore now and you are welcome to him.

Danny Graham now officially released by Sunderland.

Get him signed Coyle

[Ricky]

I'd be very happy if we bought Graham in but I feel there may be better options for him. We won't be able to offer him as much as some of the other clubs I would imagine.

[LDRover]

I don't even think that the cash is the breaker Ricky. Would you join up with the level of clusterf@@k that we have become?

Jesus wept. What a pompous ****.

Whilst I'm cleaning out the @#/? non-contributing, never-posted-a-damned-thing-worth reading, I may as well add you as well.

[BigUts]

Graham would be a tremendous signing but I fear we wont be able to afford him sadly

Oh no! 😱

[chaddyrovers]

Thanks for the update Chaddy.

Thanks Mani

??

You mean Nixon, surely.

If the only links we are going to get - and it now seems we have gone from 'Nixon has a good relationship with Koyle' to 'Nixon is exclusively the source of transfer information' especially when ANY other gossip is run by Nixon first and a decision posted - then we may as well close this thread and everyone can just follow @reluctantnicko on Twitter instead.

No wonder the traffic is light Gav.

Nixon is close to Coyle so will know who we are signing or looking at.

Has Marshall gone to Fulham yet? No?

That's cos Nixon makes stuff up.

I might as well make a twitter account guessing at transfers and then one of you can keep quoting me in here.

I think Alan Nixon says Fulham are interested in Marshall. I havent seen a tweet from him saying he's leaving but clubs are bound to be interest in him. Just like we are interest in players we want.

We started a Nixon thread but Chaddy refuses to use it, preferring to deliberately irritate people on this thread.

Transfer news/gossip should be in transfer thread. It isnt my fault if you dont like person it from. Nobody is forcing you to read the thread or posts.

So, now you are just Nixon's gatekeeper Chaddy.....someone criticises him on here and you're there defending him for some reason. Like he gives a toss about you the same way.....in fact, he's probably pisssing his pants cos some prat takes every cock and bull story he makes up and posts it for him as fact. Nicko Lapdog...yes Al, no Al, three bags full Al...(Al?!?!?)

[T J Hooker]

I'll need to Google him

when was the last time we signed a player where google or wikipedia weren't necessary? especially when it comes to permanent signings.

The quote about Marshall is one that doesn't do you any favours. You THINK Nixon says Fulham are interested in Marshall despite you not seeing a tweet saying he is leaving.

You need to think carefully and perhaps proof read what you write mate.

1. Nixon is close to Coyle so will know who we are signing or looking at.

1. nixon will also be close to a lot of other people, agents, ect..(possibly even more so than he is with coyle) so all his information becomes muddied(to say the least)

2. you keep repeating this over and over, im pretty sure that you only do it to further antagonise, but either way, why don't you just take your own advise and ignore those that constantly criticise you?

In fairness Nixon's story was that Fulham wanted to buy Marshall,he didn't say in the piece or on Twitter that Marshall would join Fulham,only that they wanted to buy him

My point really was that Chaddys post was poorly written and giving the wrong impression.

[arbitro]

Double post.

[chaddyrovers]

Yes it was.

But my point that Nixon says Fulham are interested in Marshall not that he was joining them.
