feej Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 6 minutes ago, OTT said: Sort of hard to see who we're going to get in: Shankland, stumbling block with the fee. Dundee Utd since Beerschot owe them £500k still can effectively offer a lesser fee (if any at all) and just need to compete with us on wages. Simms, wage wise and transfer fee wise too much. If not Shankland, and if not Simms, who else could we go for? Paterson keeps coming to mind, but appreciate folk think he's regressed and isn't the player of 2015 anymore. Let the guess work begin, I'll go for this guy, Adrián Dalmau, freebie according to transfermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJambo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Need to get a player of at least similar quality as Simms or we will be worse off than last season .

Not only is Paterson not a very good striker, he's also not available. It seems unlikely we'll get someone as good as Simms, but no-one knew how good he'd be before he arrived either. I'm sure we'll have scouted plenty of potential alternatives. United waiving £500k for Shankland would be an extremely bold move. Not sure why people think that's basically a freebie for them.

DC_92 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 If we're looking for striker rumours then I spotted someone on Twitter linking us with Adolfo Gaich the other day. Thought nothing of it at the time, but the same person was absolutely adamant we were getting a fixed fee for Hickey rather than a fixed percentage and now that's in the press. Gaich would've played against Atkinson at the Olympics last year for Argentina. Absolutely hates a goal by the looks of it unfortunately, although he did get a winner away to Juve.

South Moroccan Rolla Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Wonder if Folarin Balogun (young Arsenal striker) would be gettable on loan. Doesn't have Simms' physical presence but more skillful & maybe more of a finisher. Record at Boro second half of last season looks average (3 in 18) but don't think many of those were starts. Will no doubt have loan offers from Championship clubs again (maybe even bottom 6 EPL at a stretch) but if they want to prioritse game time we could be in with a shout. Would need Arsenal to cover his wages though - probably on some insane amount if Simms is on £15k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Moroccan Rolla Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Cole Palmer (more of a wide player) at Man City would be another worth asking about imo. Unlikely as they apparently want to give him more game time this season if Sterling goes but if we can give him proper experience compared to the odd run out who knows. Maybe Liam Delap from City too. No chance he's getting games with Haaland & the Argentinian kid ahead of him. We should be an attractive loan option for at least a few of the top EPL team's brightest prospects now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting him in on loan would be a superb piece of business but have a feeling they might start easing him into a bit more first team action. Anthony Gordon at Everton or Crysencio Summerville at Leeds might be good alternatives. I'm sure they won't be short of offers fof Delap either after his performances for England U19/21/whatever - but again would be superb to get him for the season. It'll probably be up to them where he goes and if they want him playing at a decent level then arguably we could offer some better experiences than some Championship sides down south.
