Some people have mentioned Alan Nixon on here before, journalist who seems to be well valued up. Comes alive in the transfer windows, does a Q+A throughout the week then on a Sunday posts all his on loss of different teams. Broke this this morning:

"Villa. Going to be spenders. Want Edouard badly . also heavily into Watkins. Money willing to spend putting off many rivals for those two. "

Last few years he's been pretty accurate with villa stuff, pretty sure he was the first to know Joe Bryan had ran out the Belfry with Bruce not far behind😂

If we are taking longer with transfers because we're not shopping in the bargain isle, I'm more than happy to wait.

It will be interesting to see how all this pans out however if the reports are to be believed and we are on the point of bidding £30 million for Edouard then I hope our scouts have got it right because it’s a hell of a lot of money for someone who hasn’t played at premiership level, scoring goals in the Scottish league is one thing but how will he transition is anybody’s guess and if £30 million is the opening bid in all probability it will probably be nearer £35 million to secure him. A number of posters have baulked at paying £25 million for Watkins based on his record for scoring goals in the championship, however I would be more inclined to pay that as I think the championship is a better league than the Scottish premiership. I do not doubt he is a good player however some clubs can take this kind of risk because they have goals either from other strikers or elsewhere in the team we are not that fortunate. In my opinion we need to ensure whoever we sign has a proven goal scoring record at premiership level so for me I would rather we go for the likes of Ihenacho/ Origi/ Wilson I would probably even as someone on an earlier post suggested hold my nose and consider Deeney as any of those individuals ticks the goal scoring requirement for me.

That was me who mentioned deeney I know he's despised at villa but if he got 15 goals or more I'm sure he would win some fans round personally I'd rather have a proven goal scorer than spend 25-30 mill on unproven players maybe Watkins is the answer but he'd need a season or two to get to grips with the prem.

Think you’d see Mcleish level backlash if we signed a Deeney, We don’t want to make ourselves a laughing stock, save that for them lot down the road.

Even if he wasn’t a Bluenose who had slated the club at every given opportunity, he’s very injury prone and has never scored 15 prem goals in a season in his life.

Whilst he wouldn’t be my first choice by any stretch, players have crossed the great divide and will no doubt do so again. I’d even take Robbie Savage if he’d keep us in the premier and I really do detest him😁.

I don’t think Iheanacho will be up for grabs unless Leicester managed to sign Paulinho from SC Braga.

I would take Alan Nixon’s tweets with a pinch of salt.
