RustyRightPeg Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 What I would say is if we lose Shankland to Utd and don’t end up with Simms it could be a critical mistake. For the sake of a couple of hundred grand, when we will be taking in millions it isn’t what I wanna see tbh. Could be wrong, we could sign another striker mind you.

Shankland and Simms are the quality we require IMO. If we don’t get either of those we’ll need similar or better and it might cost us more Shankland must have rocks in his head if he picks Utd ahead of us. Personally I don’t believe the story but we probably need to move quick and pay the asking price if we’re set on getting him Heres the thing.

I’d be surprised if Shankland would want to go back there instead of us. I realise we need to have an offer accepted but for me it’s just a matter of time. Beerschot can say all they want but I reckon they want to move him on. He clearly doesn’t want to be there and eventually if he wants to come here it’ll happen. If it was even hibs or the sheep it’s at least in the same ballpark but United are a clear step down from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambopilms Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Would be raging if we lose any targets to Utd especially a striker.

LarrysRightFoot Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I know this sounds big headed but if Shankland goes back to United IMO it means we don’t want him.

Rick Sanchez Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 It would actually make sense for Beerschot to turn down our offers IF THE ABOVE WERE TRUE.

I’m all for hearts being lucrative with their signings policy, but we are in a good position and need strikers so if Beerschot want that figure just cough it up hearts.

DC_92 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The idea United are going to waive half a million seems fanciful to me. That money will be budgeted for so it's effectively the same as them paying £500k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hypothesising here but Beerschot wouldn't owe Utd £500k then, and wouldn't have to pay Shanklands's wages in that scenario. Cutting their losses basically.

Last I heard on simms was he was keen on coming back, down to Everton wether they want to Loan or sell him. We are willing to put our attempt in at both permanent of course will be harder due to interest elsewhere. We are much more confident than this time last month however👍🏻 pushing to get a defender in the door late this week early next if we can beat off the competition.
