    If true, I'd expect we can match their offer to the club, no chance to the player mind.
    Wanna struggle in League 1 or play in the Championship for a team with parachute payments.

    Come on now!
    Struggle in league 1? Really

    we were not great today but we also nullified a play off contender. They had their only shot on target in the 91st minute. We drew with sheff wed, not Cambridge

    Wonder if the Sheffield United interest in Kirk is legit or if it's " can we drag an extra bit out of Charlton ".

    I thought he had a release clause?

    If so why was it not triggered in Jan with bid reportedly higher than the current one ?
    I understood that it was , but his agent wanted a bigger payout and killed the deal

  • Setting myself up for a fall but I can't see Sheffield United being a viable contender for Kirk.

    They don't play a formation that he fits into (unless they are going to set up differently from last night). I would also think they would be targeting better/more immediate talent to chase the PL return. They already have Burke and Mousset who can play in his position if they change set up to play with out and out wingers. From his perspective he will earn a good wedge of course but he's old enough (24 in a few months) to know that if he wants to carry on moving on an upward trajectory to coincide with his peak in 3 years or so his next move needs to involve first team football on a regular basis. That puts him in the shop window to move again or means he can move upwards with the club he signs for.

    Add to that Nixon breaking the story and it's not a goer.

    Now if you said Stoke, Preston, Blackburn or even a Wigan then I'd see it.

    Expect he'll be a Blade tomorrow!

    100% KIrk is nailed on.....as per yesterdays post from @CH4RLTON, who apparently spoke to Crewe's communication guy, so relax everyone Monday's the day, anyway, when do we even waste time listening to anything Nixon say's?.. B)

    I saw SG in the car park last evening, so he did come back after his scouting duties.

    I struggle to see how he plays at SU with Brewster, oliver burke, mcburnie, sharp, mousset, luke freeman, ben osburn, also max lowe who they got from derby who is a left sided player all ahead of him surely

    TBF we can’t do more than put the fixed fee on the table. If someone else matches it and he goes there then nothing we can do.

    What I would say is…. Why has this been left so late? The fee is the same as it was back in January by the sounds. Could we not have just laid the money down back in May and not tried to wait it out? 

    Unless we have and it has been dragged out by the club.

    I don't think it's true. But if it is, we really can't expect to compete with Championship clubs. Especially one that has just come down from the Prem.

  • A striker, Attacking Central Midfielder, Left winger, centre back, left back. That’s the bare minimum. Without those first three we are not going to score enough goals. Without the last two we leave ourselves at the mercy of the injury gods who in recent years have been particularly cruel. Yesterday was a wake up call to the recruitment team. The squad as is won’t be in or around the playoffs.

    Ultimately depends on if he wants to play (as he would with us) or if he wants more money (as you'd assume SU will pay more than we will). Hopefully he chooses us, if indeed Nixon isn't chatting rubbish as usual.

    I was told on Friday, by a very reliable source very close to someone who would know at the club, that Kirk will be signing for us but not in time for Saturday.
    However, the rumour that Stoke have now come on the scene is highly worrying!
    If true, that reliable info I was given may now be in jeopardy…..so it’s 🤞🤞🤞 everyone.
    Don’t think Stoke in for him .. just like Sheff Utd if these teams wanted him why they waiting till now ??

    Great signing if it comes off, good to know we're willing to spend a bit of money too.

    Maybe Stoke are (or were) waiting to offload someone like Ince before making a move.
