"I am not a crook." No seriously "Wigan. Want Kieffer Moore at Barnsley. Have money left for the plunge. Barnsley keen on Ivan Toney as replacement." Alan Nixon - twitter.
I'm not against letting Moore go for the right price, but replacing him with Toney is laughable and I'd seriously be questioning what's going on at Oakwell. I reckon it's tosh.
If we ended up with Toney and a spare 1.5 - 2m to spend on a central midfielder and a left back I wouldn't mind. But I question our ability to negotiate the proper fee for Moore
What I don't understand is why are people still taking Nixon remotely seriously. He works for the Sun that should tell you everything
What, that we aren’t actively “looking to sell”? If someone makes a £3m bid for Moore then I’m sure he’ll be off.
It's a debate that we've been through before on this board, but Wigan are one of the teams we need to finish above, in my opinion. I'd seriously question the wisdom of selling them our top scorer.
If it's made its way to Nixon it's definitely old news. He's quite slow on us. So either it's ******** or DT wasn't being wholly open in his presser IMO. Nixon got a few Wigan transfers right this week. Don't blame DT for not being open though. It's not his job to announce this stuff and he has a squad and fans to keep happy.
I’m repeating myself from when I said if we swap Moore for marquiss we’re mad, but .....if we swap Moore for Toney, we’re mad.
Heard wigan were interested a few week back from a poster on here. People slating toney I don't think he is as good as kieffer at the minute but he is 4 years younger a season ago people were slating moore saying he wasnt good enough. Doubt posh would do business with us and wigan is a poor move for moore.
I thought Wigan were slowly sinking back to football oblivion. The football pyramid eventually evens itself out.
£3m is fck all for Moore- even if you disagree with that statement it’s about what he’s worth to us and for me he is an essential cog.
