Basically Sharpe has not denied that we are now in for Armstrong. As I said the other day, I couldn’t see anything being confirmed until Monday at the earliest. I think Nixon would only put his neck on the line like that if he was confident of not getting any egg on his face.

He could easily fob it back on the owners saying something about "money not appearing" Even if something else scuppers the deal. I have seen him do it with other clubs

Definitely it's usually cryptic stuff if they aren't sure, but he seems pretty sure about this, would look stupid if we didn't sign him, although he did say we had £50million once.

Shyte players hope that answers it clearly for you chaddy and Simon.

We've got another big lump in Joe Nuttall to get off the books now aswell from Simon and associates. 

Hope we make the agents loads of money but only if there's success on the pitch for Rovers supporters .

Credit where credit's due, JAL's putting some meat on the bones here and not posting cryptic nonsense that makes steam come out of Chaddy's ears, so there is that....

Yea, tried hard in a team playing poorly, christ I’m sure Coyle even played him on the wing at one point.

Mulgrew, Evans, Bennett, Williams and Graham also played in that team btw

Platt from the u23's has just signed for Stanley on season long loan. He has got a better move than Wharton.

make Whaton's move more strange, should be playing L1

Conning's the name..

You know those TV programmes they do about "Rock families", and how members of one group  morph into another?

I would love to see a similar programme about agents' "families" and their links to other agents, including some apparently dissolved.

As you say.. Shyte players and  on very, very  long contracts...

Wharton will be playing everg week at Lincoln plus Cowley will use him properly. 

Platt I think will be more of squad player at Stanley but Coleman will play him at times. Good move. Local team. Will go down when Rovers arent playing

I suppose time will tell which move is better in the long run. We will need to see who gets the most game time. I would imagine Wharton is a guaranteed starter, not sure about Platt. He could be signed as 3rd or 4th choice. The Lincoln managers are rated highly too. Tomlinson being linked to Stanley as well

Personally, think Platt is a better defender at the moment so not surprised that Coleman should pick him up.  Having said that, the young lad who played for Stanley against us last week looks a very good defender.

This is rather contradictory to what Rich Sharpe has just tweeted. 

I’d have no issue if you had said that you had heard he was on the verge of signing. I encourage transfer rumour and gossip on here as it adds to the fun.

However you stated it as FACT that he signed last night and it was to be announced this morning???

As a result I told numerous people last night and I look a bit of a ?end now! 

There's a moral to that story!

I made this mistake once when Nixon said on here that Stevie Warnock was signing for Newcastle.

I told a few of mates it was happening and obviously it never did. 

I also looked like a complete bell.

You just know that Nicko's come back would be 'things can change very quickly in football' or some vague nonsense like that. Then you'd still get gullible gimps eating out of the palm of his hand on Twitter.

DYCHE FINDING MARKET DIFFICULT

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is still hoping to make progress in the transfer market in the coming days but admits he has found it difficult to finalise deals this summer.

"We're in the market for lots of different people in different positions," he said. "Whatever you think of the market, it is very difficult. But we keep working diligently and working hard.

"Even when you put good money to people, everyone wants more, more, more."

Any News Al? I wonder how many times a day poor rich sharpe is asked that over the course of a transfer window?

I still can’t believe people tweet that Jamie McConnell chap and takes everything he says as gospel. 

Any old sod can claim to be an “ITK”. You can always cover your back when deals come off with some BS reason why it didn’t come off.

£3 million eh. A lot on here said we wouldn't spend more than £1 million on a player. Cracking signing and a real positive sign of intent.

He hasn't signed yet and I take what I read in the Sun with a large dose of salt. But yes a good signing and especially so if a permanent deal. Providing he is even remotely successful for us in the Championship he'll be worth more than that in a few years.

Of course you do, unless it's to do with FFP situations at other clubs
