I'm taking it as its a local target with a potential European side in for them too, could still be a player currently playing in another country though

I’m guessing it’s the Euro Disney characters. Donald Duck on the wing, Mickey Mouse as the Godden replacement and Goofy in goal.

Yes if go onto his account he’s responding to a Coventry fan asking for an update about the “ambitious target”

that Adjei was wanted by European teams too, maybe it’s him - although not beyond the realms of possibility and I wouldn’t say it’s particularly ‘Stop Press’

People believing Nixon is right about any of this is almost as funny as the Twine joke. As vague as possible so if we sign anyone, he can claim credit. If we don't, it was too "ambitious" for us currently.

Don't think he's been close on any of our transfer activity and has a negative rep among a lot of football fans.

He’s obviously referring to the Premier league and has got a bit mixed up between division one and league one

It reads more like it's a European club in for one of our players

He’s more often right than any other journo covering transfers in EFL.

He certainly brings something to the table that's needed. Not much on a football pitch these days though.

it’s not clear though, and could be interpreted at least two or three different ways - purposely vague?

No it is clear from the context and the wording. When asked about our ambitious signing why wouldn’t randomly start talking about an outgoing player without specifying that?

agree to disagree

the question was “…..or any other deals…..”

the answer was …..”a European club in but not agreed a fee yet”

pretty ambiguous to me, although I agree the question was mainly about transfers in

You could also read it as " There's another Euro club in for this amazingly ambitious player. They haven't agreed a fee either".

Vague, uninformative and open to any interpretation.

Wonder if Nixon mystery man is Ahmedhodzic, meant to be leaving blades. Would definitely be ambitious.

Nixon can claim to be so "accurate" as his rumours are at best ambiguous so can be read in many ways.
