Transfer Rumour Thread 21/22

[offshore_arab83]

Well gents, thats the rumours and speculation started so as usual here we have the obligatory 'mad' Transfer Rumour thread.

Past few seasons threads have been crackers with well over 1m views between them and i suspect the season coming will be full of rumours due to the amount of rebuilding required.

Current rumours are:

* Benji being linked with Ipswich for £400k

* Kerr Smith Villa or Man Utd £500k

* BK Hacken attacking midfielder Daleho Irandust is a target according to social media rumours, once capped by Sweden and has scored 6 and has 4 assists in Allsvenskan this season

The Academy has to be paid for, we've got a big payroll invested there. We don't want to be selling every top prospect but if we've been offered 500k plus add ons for the lad I'd accept.

Re Benji if we accept less than £1m (English league petty cash) I will feel we've been done because I think he'll play in the EPL eventually.

I get the feeling hibs will take shankland for about 350k this summer. Butcher is a target of Hearts as is Fuchs. Benji will go for about 750k but not to Ipswich. Kerr Smith doesnt want to leave so either sell him or play him. The swedish guy is apparently a Mellon target so maybe he is staying.

Youngsters to make an impression next season will be important - one or two of Appere, Hoti, Smith, Newman, Mochrie, Glass, Neilson, Meekison should be a definite.

Our captain is to leave allegedly.

I predict its going to be a disappointing summer window. But one or two coming through.

Edit to say Villa have put in a taster of Smith staying for 2 years but playing regularly. Conundrum.

Also in my view keep mcnulty play him as 9 he could be good for us

The BK Hacken boy is valued at £2M. Contract up at the end of the year. Where did that rumour come from?

I agree 100% on McNulty. I think he could be an excellent No.9 for us if Shankland likely goes. Can't see McNulty wanting to stay on however.

Shankland even on current form is worth far more than 350k. The goals haven’t flowed for a number of reasons; but at least 750k as you know what you will get if tactics suit his game. Even if not his general play is good and as much as I like Nesbit, he is every bit as good and certainly as good as Dykes, who was sold for circa 2 million and I didn’t think he was or is that remarkable.

No sure about these Butcher/Fuchs - Hearts rumours. Hibs wont pay what we want for Shanks. Benji I agree he is worth around that and every team needs a good goalie.

What have you heard about this Swedish boy? Seems an interesting one but hasn't played a game of football since Oct 2020 from what I can see.

Reynolds leaving? Retiring?

What do you mean a taster of Smith?

interesting thoughts there SB71, what makes you think hibs will come in for shanks? is that cos Rab C will be away? i dont think we would sell for 350k, he's an internationalist, aye granted 1 year left but cant see it happening.

Hearts need to get cheque books oot then and can take Butcher if they want IMO

Is Reynolds away?

[offshore_arab83]

I agree 100% on McNulty. I think he could be an excellent No.9 for us if Shankland likely goes. Can't see McNulty wanting to stay on however.

Would he be prepared to drop wages though? is he out of contract at end of this season?
