Think it was only the other day

Reckon he's ballpark right about that price, but would be very surprised if we've let them have a sell-on tbh

Yeah, don't know why people rag on Nixon. He broke this, Lewis Hall last summer and was first on Trafford I think? (which obv didn't happen but turned out we did have intent there).

30 goal season by 2026-7. You read it here first.

If Mitchell and our existing scouting structure want him then I'd be very happy with the transfer. Luckily our scouts and sporting director work on a bit more of a sophisticated basis than looking at his goals/games ratio on Wikipedia.

£25m + bonuses sounds cheap for him like

Sir Nicholas of Pope

Aye, same. Not sure there'd be any value in sending him on loan as at his age he shouldn't be playing that many games anyway. Get him working with Eddie and the first team and let him play for the youth teams when he needs minutes, then bring him cautiously into the first team when he's ready.

Casually dropping another 20m on a youth goalkeeper

Think he only joined last year so shouldn't cause us too many problems in terms of continuity. Wouldn't mind getting one of those lads who left Chelsea in to replace him

Aye, saying there's no updates kind of acknowledges that it's a situation we're involved with which there could potentially be updates on. Otherwise feel he'd have said outright that we're not interested or something like "good player but I don't talk about other clubs' players".
