Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) It's 1000% a Gary Gill special we've tracked him for over a year the Gazette say and whoever's done the tracking has the sway to get Gibson to greenlight a 7 figure transfer fee to a European team for a guy with 6 months left. We know Gary has his almost gots like Lindelof but he also has his misses (De Sart, Fischer etc) his latest special we know about I'm not sure if it's a near miss or not Becker got injured almost immediately. I'm glad we're looking to Europe again there's value and quality there if you source it right and Gill's a little murky on actual deliverables but if he's the most senior recruiting voice right now I'm glad he has more influence in replacing Randolph than Bevington being the senior recruitment guy. Also on Britt staying or going there is yet another 2 million pound ballpark value striker linked with us today apparently we've watched him closely over recent months just as we have with Cosgrove and that name is Lawrence Shankland at Dundee. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/lawrence-shankland-qpr-transfer-bid-21286606 Suggests we're preparing to invest in a new striker(s) you'd guess right now it's contingency planning for this window just in case Britt leaves but the next window all of these 2-3 million pound striker links will probably give us an inkling of who we'll move for and in what market if we cut losses on Britt as people expect.

I don’t have anything to back up my claim though so I’m just trying to be realistic. The Swiss outlets are reporting 1.5 million CHF (1.2 million sterling) so if anything Bailey's undershot the fee it seems. The selling club always max out the potential fee though I'd guess a chunk is in future add ons but we definitely paid a premium fee that's for sure, you wonder what they'd have quoted us last summer if we sold Randolph then probably 2.5 to 3 million!

chickenlunch 315 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I'm sure it's not as simple as just a million quid transferred from our bank to theirs. It'll be performance related, if we get promoted etc Link to post Share on other sites

Shankland is an interesting one. An analyst I speak to regularly raves about him. His scoring record is outrageous but I wonder how hed handle the step up in quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The coaching team clearly have a plan and he's an important part of that. Equally the budget is adaptable, it clearly depends on when and how it's paid.

I agree smogzilla, it is a big jump and we’d probably have to pay a premium as Dundee United are going for promotion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
