Transfer rumour thread 19/20

Jeezo....if putting in an enquiry regarding a player is tapping up, then the whole country is guilty of it with Shankland! It's a transfer window...we can enquire about anybody!
Managers contact agents every day to check availability of players...its a 2 way street!

What enquiry? Haven't heard anyone making any enquiry about anyone. Plenty folk sniffing about, turning up at games etc, but nout official as far as I have heard. Might be wrong tho.

I think they might mean Nisbet

I think you might be correct, but I was just commenting on what constitutes "tapping up" any player these days . Whether it be making it obvious you are watching them play (without enquiring obviously) or leaking your interest through the media etc. It is a fine line these days. Now TA is saying 22 clubs have been "watching" LS yet no note of interest or enquiry has been made! I find that very hard to believe.

The comments made by RN sound a bit as if he is talking up Shanks ahead of a sale.

I hope not as would like to hang on to Shanks for our return season in the Prem.

If he goes then Nisbet is a logical replacement though I don't think Nisbet is as special a player :-(

To score 22 or whatever in a very ordinary Pars side sounds pretty special maybe they attack more get to the byeline (so retro) and make him loads of chances like we should.

Well made point. Shanks could be on about 40 by now.

Good news. Was always confident he'd stay at least until the summer. If he was to go then we'd get more for him anyway.

Rest easy. The Baldy one is no longer with us

I think the messaging currently coming from the club is preparing us for a transfer. Hope I'm wrong.

I have a bad feeling about this! How many times have we seen someone is going nowhere, only to be kicked in the bawz on the last day!

Yeah it's all a bit deja vu, really hope not...

I can't really see the club making this kind of statement unless it's actually true and the player and his agent are on board with it. I expect to see him score against Arbroath on Saturday.
