buca junior Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 14 minutes ago, Bazzas right boot said: I can't how it makes a difference tbh. we are guaranteed group stage football, that is the important thing and the carrot for players and the finance for us. I think it’s a little naive to group both tournaments as the same. You can debate it’s marginal gains but it could make the difference in recruiting a high calibre player who has alternative options. Also a convincing play-off result rather than a hammering could again raise our profile to prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t doubt we will keep signing until the latter stages of the window, but we will probably average one a week now until the closure of the window I’d guess.

Cardiff claimed him somewhere (from a Cardiff fan), random non-fan claims he's heading here on loan again. Nothing obvious going down I have a feeling nothing more that Simms will be playing for Hearts next season, the fact its all went quiet I think is in our favour. Can only hope.

I'm as far from itk as you can get but my instincts are often pretty good. I've had very strong feelings that he would be signing for us based on various comments made. If it wasn't in prospect I'm sure we would have known by now. Would be surprised if Hearts splash out £750,000 or so to get him in. Really hope your info is correct.

LarrysRightFoot Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Can’t say Grant is a signing in overly excited about, I’ve never heard of him and at 27 on paper he looks not to have cut it at championship level in England after a couple of attempts. However, it sounds like he’s been known to Robbie and Joe for a long time and he also knows McKay so I’m sure his opinion will have been sought as well and they’ve done enough to earn our trust. I really hope he is like McKay and can unlock defences. Will also be good to have another dead ball expert along with Kingsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a personal connection involved? I agree we should be doing better to produce more Academy talent, but reality is many won't make it near first team. I firmly believe the expectations of the fan base make it difficult for Robbie to give continuned game time to youngsters. Our best striker for many years Boyce was given pelters for having a off month for example. Think the B team will help massively as we can keep them in the loop of first team if they impress or injuries create an opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised if we are telling young players to find new clubs now, considering we need players for the B team. Unless we are clearing out to bring in others in. I do think this will be the season that shows how serious we are about youth development. The club has been saying the last year what was stopping us from bringing through the youngsters is no reserve league. Now we have a B team, it takes that excuse away. Add in the number of games we have to play then there is no excuse for some youngsters not getting game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they are eyeing up someone nobody has even mentioned yet........ A real take the breath away signing. Exciting times ahead, can't wait for the season to start and this page to get forgotten about because we've signed every player we wanted!! I think we're in for a lull in news, not because nothing's happening, but because Ronnan's club want to make sure they have a replacement, Shankland's club are going to hold out for better offers, and Simms want to figure out if they want to loan him to us or sell him to us. There's enough background chatter to make me think that Simms back in a maroon shirt is highly likely, but still not decided under what terms. 5 hours ago, Thought Police said: I’d be very surprised if Everton had made a decision on Simms already. I agree, and what I imagine is happening is that Everton aren't planning on having him in their first team next season, but want to decide if they want to hold onto his rights. I think they're being wise as I think he still needs another season to mature into someone ready to come into an EPL game, but as I said above, it feels like a loan-to-Hearts or sell-to-Hearts decision. Relatedly, I posted on another thread that Russia had long been a market where EPL clubs unloaded their not-quite-good-enough prospects, and that's been closed off now, so they're willing to take lower offers from domestic clubs now.

HMFC01 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Shankland getting held back because Beerschot are short on striker numbers. If they get one or two replacements in this week or next I reckon he will be allowed to leave. Whether it's to Hearts is anyones guess. Alot happening at Everton, its hard to tell if Simms will stay or go. Few weeks on that decision I guess. I'll say we're more likely to sign a defender before another forward. Going by the suggested rumour posted already. Plus Robbie mentioned we'd sign afew players within afew days this week. Grant done, just one more this week.

Hopefully the week before the Derby, hibs will shite themselves. Really doubt we'll get him on a permanent deal though, although I'd like us to test Everton with an offer, maybe even up to £1M.
