Transfer rumour thread 19/20

In fairness, without knowing thé full background, u can argue in the opposite that we have possibly missed out on a bigger fee by not signing him up on an extension last season. 500k in circumstances seems remarkable.

I'm a wee bit concerned at losing Stanton. Thought he was a decent player and always tried. Scored a couple of crucial goals last month too and I think we were starting to see the best of him.

Maybe with Powers coming in we need to free up a wage. But personally I would probably kept Stanton involved for the rest of the season. He's definitely contributed to where we are placed now.

I would rather release King and keep Stanton if it's to free up a wage

I’m not so sure it’s to do with freeing up a wage OA. I suspect Stanton’s been told he’ll not be kept on at the end of the season and an opportunity has arisen for him that the Club won’t stand in the way of. He gets my very best wishes as he has certainly done his part this season and at least can leave knowing that after three years of scheite he’s done his bit to get us back to where we belong.

A’ the best Sam!:heart:

On Hibs forum someone said they heard he wanted more than we were offering, Neilson called their bluff.

Plausible, ethier way it's a shame but we move on

Contrast with the likes of Stuart Armstrong and Johnny Russell who served their time and are reaping the benefits. Further, I could understand kids wanting to get the phuck out of Dodge under the previous disastrous regime, but now with the new owners and RN and imminent promotion, things are so positive right now and he would undoubtedly have got his opportunity to establish himself and get a big move in 3-4 years that would have been much more sustainable. I don’t wish him ill, but I’ll be very, very surprised if we hear much more about him in a couple of years - he’s likely just going to disappear into the ‘system’.

Post of the month so far James :star:

Wish him all the best.

Definitely wish Stanton well, still feeling disappointed about it, maybe end of season not mid season, felt we missed him on Sunday as an option

Plus not like he hasn't featured under Neilson, only Seigrist (58), mcmullan(56) and clark(51) have made more than his 47 apps from RNs 62 in charge and chipped in with his share of goals and assists.
