Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

[Howdentiger2]

He's little tubby watching those videos but he's a real unit now. In a few years time he could really be a force to be reckoned with in the championship, he's big, quick, tricky and can use both feet.

He should've had a 4th too. Granted the standard's not great but there's not much difference between that and L1. He needs get fit over the summer and come back in pre season flying.

I wish I was as "tubby" as him haha

I think a fully-fit James Scott with a bit of confidence is a decent option to have as a number 9. He’s never really had a good spell of games playing as a striker here. Still think we need a couple of strikers in the summer since Eaves will probably go, Forss is going back and Tyler Smith hasn’t done much. I actually think Scott is a better option to have than Eaves, Forss and Smith anyway. Unless Hibs offer a seven figure bid, we should probably keep him.

It would maybe help if we didn't play him out on a wing! But, irrespective, I can pretty much guarantee he wasn't, isn't and won't be the answer to anything for us.

Never said he was. I said he’s worth keeping around.

Me too, but I'm certainly no athlete!

It's always bizarre to make such strong statements like this especially off a few games he's played for us. He's only 21, and young players mature/develop quickly sometimes. The most obvious example was Fleming, who in the pre season game at the KCOM looked awful, he was coming back from covid but looked so far off the pace it was unbelievable. He's been outstanding for us since coming into the side though and made 3/4 team of the week appearances and a team of the month too. That's pretty impressive in 15 starts

Ok, fair points.
I just don't see it, and think we'd be better off freeing up that place for someone else. I also think that's what will happen in practice.
But as always, more than happy if proved wrong.

We’ve given away let go had on loan ‘weak’ players overweight players older and younger who’ve shown nothing with us then up they pop a couple of years later to do us - I’d like a slightly chunky Billy Sharpe type with youth on their side , maybe Scott could be one that , please not a Paul Hunter type though !!!

 

[highpeak tiger]

Didn't we pay £1 million for him?

This summer is going to be a pretty big rebuild. In the forward areas, assuming we play Shota's preferred 433 next year, we could be potentially left with just Allahyar and Longman. I have no problem with giving Scott a chance as it's potentially 1 less addition we need to bring in.

Billy Chadwick?

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

Wilks has value, we'd still probably get £300k for him at least, he was worth £2m+ 12 months ago. Eaves on the other hand does not.

I'd have thought someone in L1 would pay a couple of hundred thou. Sheff u hung on to Slater for the sake of 50k so why not us with Eaves?

Probably would cost more to extend his contract that year. Loyalty bonus etc

Will have to see what transpires.

If someone was willing to pay for Eaves, they'd have done it last summer and he'd have gone.

Slater was a young player they were due compensation for anyway who had a host of clubs after him.

But nobody will pay for Eaves, he's 30 and not scored a decent amount of goals in the 3 years he's been with us and one of those was in L1

I thought he was told he could leave but opted to stay as he didn't want to drop down. Not only that he was behind Magennis then. If we bring in 2 strikers then yeah he's probably surplus but we still need depth in that area. I've no strong feelings either way but feel we should get a fee if possible. I take Newcastle's point that any fee would need to be more than the value of his option year though to make it worthwhile.

Billy Chadwick?

Sorry never seen him is he a prospect - on loan somewhere?

There's no loyalty bonuses in our squad and if there was, they wouldn't be activated by an option being exercised by the club on a pre existing deal

Was on loan at linfield in Northern Ireland then had a bad injury halfway through the spell. Was scoring a few before.

I genuinely thought they were in every contract to be honest, thanks for clearing that up though

I'm certain that if Ehab could've got a fee he would have, I thought the only interest in Eaves was on loan and we would still have to subsidise part of his wages. I'm sure one of the ITKs on here said that anyway
