DC_92 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The entire Shankland article seems to be based on this quote: "A transfer is not an option at the moment and we have not yet received any official offer for Lawrence Shankland from any clubs." That doesn't say "not for sale" to me, it says they can't sell because they haven't received an official offer. And just because they haven't received an official offer doesn't mean there haven't been detailed discussions on price between the clubs. Changes nothing IMO.

Basically we still have first team players to fill some gaps. I agree the CM will be closer to a backup. Then after all that's sorted maybe a loan or two. Keeper maybe and a striker.

Sorry laziness on my part, couldn't remember his name or be bothered to look it back up - but now that you have asked, I have..! We were linked in the January window with Tsyoshi Ogashiwa. There was a lot of speculation that we'd be back in summer to try again after it didn't progress. I've seen literally nothing to suggest we actually are back in for him, so was pure speculation on my part! Example article from back in December.

Doesn't describe Grant or Ronan I don't think. There's also a bit of ambiguity about whether the 5 includes Grant given it obviously doesn't include Cochrane.

He's a central part of a team that finished 3rd by a country mile last year and they would easily get 2/3 good years out of him. And for us to replace him with better would cost 7 figures. That's his value 🤷♂️ Yip, it's the value to our team and the cost to replace him that is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendoll Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Turns out I've watched Jorge Grant in the flesh before. Got a private box in 2017 at Notts County on my stag do, and turns out he was the guy we all chucked money on for first goal. Finished 0-0 😂 Hopefully he's better these days, though to be fair, it was easily the worst game of football I've ever seen 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is Ross Stewart good enough to replace Craigy if he gets injured mid to long term, and I've seen nothing to suggest that Harry Stone is ready for that yet either.

Pretty sure he has 2 years left on his deal. They might think they can get right back up if he does the business in the lower league (sounds familiar) They might also think they’ll need to replace him if he goes and they’ll need the money to do that. Sounds to me like we’ve discussed it with them and our informal offer hasn’t been enough for them. We need to move on this and not let it drag. Make our best offer.
