Pretty much confirms the SLP and Cawley aren’t getting the info like they did before.
Why?
I guess historically they'd dismiss it or stay quiet rather than just report a rumour from Nixon.
That said it's quite poorly structured might be an intern or something hired for deadline day.
Info will always get out from players, agents etc. Cawley does get fed info from various sources, doesn't mean he will always be the first to hear though. I don't agree that he is being fed less info from the club, they will always pass on what suits them.
And what are you hearing mate.
Nothing, haven't asked. Going to Oval Thursday with a couple of agents, will find out who we missed out on and what we were offering wages etc. The Canaries usually sing after a few beers
I fear we are going to make the same tactical error re LB as we made re CB in last January’s window. If so, what is it with our recruitment team’s inability to deal with the glaringly obvious? Hope my concerns are unfounded and a LB is one of the 2-3 we sign today.

Even if we do sign a left back it's either going to be a teenager from a Premier League club or a player being forced out somewhere else who hasn't had any game time. It's hardly going to be a player you have identified, tracked & had been the player you wanted since June.

Although unlikely, it could be that exact sort of player, with the selling club trying to line up a prem loan as a replacement before they’ll sell.

The last two Left-Backs we've signed this way werent that bad for us.
Although I do agree in a sense, that loans will always create the risk that they wont always work out.
Trusted source involved at Dundee United tells me that Robson to Lincoln will be completed today.
Is that trusted source by any chance Alan Nixon who confirmed it was happening about an hour ago ?
The deal is close to £1m total, so just think Nixon was doing his agent a favour to get the deal done..........
Lincoln spending a million on a left back seems strange.
They certainly need to replace Tayo Edun who has just gone to Blackburn
I wonder if thats a deal thats dragged on for a while (If yes then might be a sign of how difficult it is for anyone to bring in a Left-Back at the moment), or whether its one thats come out of no where and Lincoln are now showing how easy it is to source a replacement.
If the Arter deal is off I'd say 2 in, both loans, Forward and a leftback.
The improved performance in both Morgan and Watson might see us leave off the CM until Jan and see if we can get a perm in on a better deal (Lowery) etc.
A midfield of Watson and Morgan would be a disaster against any other than relegation bound teams like Crewe.
I agree it's not ideal given Watson isn't even supposed to be in the bench, but feel if we're still juggling budget wise and getting knocked back by clubs on our offers (or failing medicals if you want to believe the internet) that maybe we'll try and make it to Jan then re-evaluate the midfield.
Is this the same Ben Purrington who only missed one match and played 90 minutes pretty much all the other games last time we got promoted from league one?

And then I'm predicting either a Midfielder on loan (Arter) or a Midfielder signed (Lowery)
