MKD have a nicer stadium than usChunes said:Why would he pick us over MK? Because we've got a nice stadium? We finished 13th.
Anyway it's silly getting knickers twisted over anything Nixon says
No atmosphere because it's far too big for them, and a dull retail park location, but it's a quality stadium. Not that Tucker will choose us or them or anyone else based on that criteria!1 -

We could come up with a team of “must sign” players that our fanbase hype up as if they’ll make or break our season. I’ll get us started.supaclive said:Tucker is exactly the type of player we need
In League one a right footed centre half can play left side
He's comfortable on the ball
And cheap with a good upside if he progresses
If we lose him to MK Dons, be concerned for our season's prospects
CB: Tucker

Robinson begging us to sign him for months that summer, then what a let down once he finally was here.

Not exactly a resounding vote of confidence in our ability to secure our targets is it?Scoham said:
I guess many in the footballing world are unsure of our future direction of travel under TS, given that he's presided over a couple of false starts to his lofty ambitions and keeps having to reset.
That might deter some players from making the sort of longer term commitment desired, so we might have to improve on our utilisation of the loans market for the time being, not that I like us having to rely on it.
However, let's face it, the bar has been set very low after last seasons 'late off the shelf' selection of underperforming misfits. Plenty of room for improvement there!

The Bolton press are linking Tucker with them as well.
Has anyone checked Blackpool's Instagram?1 -

You may not get it, but it seems that more than a few managers want their CBs to play on their proper sides.Braziliance said:
I actually don’t get all this right foot business now. We aren’t Man City, we don’t have the luxury to cherry pick the best left footer and right footer in the world and pair them up.Chunes said:
He's right footed and we need a leftie, so it's not that logical. Perhaps that's why Cawley is reporting that we've never really pursued him.Braziliance said:
You say that but one player can actually be the difference between autos and play offs, play offs and mid table and mid table to relegation.king addick said:

We wont get ALL out first targets and that is a fact. The worry will be when it looks like we are hitting our 4th and 5th targets.I’m not usually one to throw my toys out of the pram over a signing but Tucker is one of the most logical signings we can make, if our recruitment team can’t see that and we lose out to MK Dons it’s genuinely embarrassing. Recent history has shown if we just copied what they do in the transfer windows we would be more successful anyway so why on earth would we let it happen again
I do need to point out that you are "throwing your toys out the pram" at something Nixon has said. Nixon!There’s a lad here down the road from us, from what our owner is telling us, would be in our price range, he would immediately be our best defender. It ain’t rocket science you go and sign him unless it’s not feasible.Couldn’t care less where MK Dons finished, that was last season where they had Scott Twine, it’s a new season for them like us, albeit they have a few more things in place. We are bigger than them and have an owner telling us we have a top budget. If we are genuinely interested in him and lose out to them, it’s shocking. Even more worrying if he’s not on our radar
You seem to be ignoring the fact that Cawley has said we weren't ever really pursuing this bloke, but you're going nuts over the idea that we've lost out on him to MK. Is this just about having a pop at TS?
especially when I’ve said we genuinely don’t have a good right sided centre back on our books regardless.He didn’t say that, he said we wasn’t close to getting it done, that’s up for interpretation as it could mean we didn’t have the money OR we wasn’t interestedPop at TS? No it’s questioning why we are letting players get picked up so local to us when there’s claims we have resources. I question our recruitment team who haven’t been at it for 2 seasons now.Going nuts? I’m completely relaxed, but feel free to narrate my posts as you would like to in your own mind0 -
Eunan O'Kane possibly.Cafc43v3r said:
Who was the lad from Leeds (Irish I think) that was a real coupe if we got him and doomed if we didnt? We signed Cullen instead and I have never of him again.Scoham said:

The big question, is what photo will Cawley use on Twitter to announce a signing?
We've had the big fish, we've had walking...0 -
Have seen others saying he’s not all that. Have any of us really seen enough of these guys who pop up as rumoured signings? Not saying you necessarily haven’t Super C, but sometimes I do wonder if we’re all guilty of believing they hype, from time to time, without any real basis for it.supaclive said:Tucker is exactly the type of player we need

If we lose him to MK Dons, be concerned for our season's prospectsI’m pretty sure Gallen and crew will have kept close tabs on players they’re interested in, and will have seen far more of them than we have. Even then it’s possible signings don’t work out for a host of reasons.1 -

Sadly true... TS deluded himself if he thinks we are in a better place now than a year ago.Braziliance said:
Except we are and why do we keep going on about right sided centre backs regardless? You can have two right footers at centre back as most clubs in the world have proven..Bournesnr said:We’re not short of right sided centre backs so not too fussed about Tucker.
Think our priorities lie elsewhere.Deji isn’t ready, Innis isn’t reliable, Lavelle is coming back from an injury and wasn’t exactly showing too much quality regardless.Tucker is a fantastic signing at this level with real sell on potential, potential to play at a higher level than this, over one hundred games in this league, great injury record.I am sorry but if we are genuinely interested and lose out to MK Dons then that is piss poor.
I am debating whether to tell the club 5hat I have moved so the season ticket goes elsewhere. ….,,,
TS is talking about the club as a whole not just the team .. we filled a lot of gaps in the business and we don’t need a complete overall of the playing side as we did last summer … there be 7/8 new players by end of window 4/5 perm rest loans1 -
Thanks for letting us know Ron.0

Maybe, but some of the signings were arguably decent, but didn’t fit the way we ended up playing. Lee and Kirk in particular.We never intended to be a long ball team, but that’s how it ended up unfortunately.1

I can see what you mean when the tweet is taken in isolation. However, having just read our owners comments to the fans forum concerning the loans market, he clearly sees it as being an important part of our plans for this season to get right.shine166 said:

Have you seen him play? Lightweight player, did ok in league 2 but didn't set the world alight. Not deemed good enough for Ipswich too.soapboxsam said:cafcsinger said:Not convinced Barry is good enough for us anyway
Good enough to be one of the very few English lads(can't think of any ?) to Join the Barcelona Youth academy and then Premier side Villa but not good enough for Charlton when we are desperate for a striker/ winger/ forward to probably play in a 3 as two wingers and a number 9 just won't work or didn't at the beginning of last season.0 -
He's 18. Far too early to be writing a player like him off.cafcsinger said:

If he was 25 it would be different.3 -
Heard we weren’t interested in Louie Barry but now Cawley has denied it, Thomas has sent a connection request to the Villa CEO on LinkedIn. Watch this space.2

Bit OTT. Wasn't meant to be smarmy at all. You said: "I don't usually throw my toys out the pram about signings but..." So I assumed you were saying you are throwing them this time. I think that's a pretty fair interpretation and I'll leave it there.Braziliance said:

Didn't Swisdom say that Tuckers agent was asking silly money? Maybe that is why we are not being that active in pursuit.

You've already said that you're not renewing your ST and you're contacting the club to let them know.
I am sure that that news will make TS consider his future at the club.3 -

Once again word is rumours …. People seem to forget that it was Chris Powell who set this move up and even drove him to the training ground .. Niles John is rated very highly not only by spurs but in football in generalThe Red Robin said:
