GinRummy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 2 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: My only concern with Shankland would be the cost. If we've got to pay £500k as a transfer fee and also got to pay him something like £10k per week, or even just whatever our current highest wage is, to get him, I'm very doubtful that that would represent good value for money, and I'd feel we could probably have got better for that money. If the transfer fee is a bit lower, and if his wage demands are reasonable for someone I'd describe as somewhat unproven at our level, I'd be happy with us signing him, particularly given Robbie has worked with him before. All fair comment. I’m sure we won’t be bursting the bank for him. At the same time, Shankland’s bound to know if he comes to us and bangs in the goals his next move could be big money.

Skacelsid Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Love Simms to stay, and he seems to buy into us. whether or not its Everton can see him going to even a championship side, who in reality can pay more than us. But I trust Joe Savage will be looking at similar for another loan or a good permanent replacement. We are an attractive club to sign for now and I am optimistic we will deal well.

Don't see why not. He's a long way off getting into the Everton side while they're in the Premier League so he'll most likely be looking at a loan to the Championship or back to us (or sitting in the stands or occasionally on the bench at Goodison). Considering his wages won't change either way, surely we're the far more attractive option since he'll get to play in Europe with us?

InternationalJambo Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Shankland is a goer but ONLY IF it works out for everyone involved in the deal. Forrest as I said at the start of last month was a done deal by the end of April. A lot of the name posted by other reliable posters are on the right track. I said it once, I’ll say it again.
