if them clubs were interested still not seen anything to confirm that just .. rumours .ross1 said:Would Kirk, who was born in Cheshire, come to London to play in League 1, when he could join Stoke or Sheff U, and get more money and play in the Championship and stay near home? Just wondering0 -

Unlikely that any of the players that featured would be who he was after but we could be after somebody in either of their squads and he wanted to do business face to face.ShootersHillGuru said:Maybe Steve Gallen was at Loftus Road on club business and not just to watch some football but wouldn’t that imply that he was there to watch one of the 22 plus players used otherwise what’s the point ? Wouldn’t it also mean we’re interested in signing a current Championship starter or bench player ? Perhaps one of the subs will soon be available for loan but then why would a Championship side put them on the bench if surplus to requirements ? If the trip was not to watch one of the players and solely to speak with someone from either club then on a day when Charlton are playing you’d surely wonder why a telephone call wouldn’t be enough. All idle speculation of course but 🤷🏻♂️0 -
The Sheff Utd are not over joyed with the Kirk rumours .. they don’t believe there anything in them because they want better quality players and don’t believe he would feature4

Perhaps we are and he flew to Aberdeen today to hold talks tomorrow!ShootersHillGuru said:

Cheers @SoundAsa£, understand,..it's just me getting pissed off with the toing and froing, dare say we are all in the same boat there, will have a beer and chiiilll, or as Henry would say WIOTOSSoundAsa£ said:
Nothing we can do if he’s getting offers from elsewhere…..it’s not us who are holding things up, he and his (known to be slippery), agent will naturally be taking their time comparing what’s on the table.eastterrace6168 said:I'm getting B O R E D with all this bloodya Kirk is on, then it's off, then it's on.....ffs,.. i'ts like pulling teeth.....get it done or get out the door

Sort of, he does spout some rubbish but he does have contacts in the game and is relatively well informed. I imagine his wrong information is most likely him being a mouthpiece for agents, rather than completely making things up.RedRobin said:The fact the interest from Sheffield United has come from Alan Nixon, I’d take with a big pinch of salt! He makes things up as he goes along.The picture below suggests Sheffield United have recently added an additional target to their list:

A Sheff Utd fan has made a video of Kirk's highlights.

Nixon did say we had already agreed 500k for him so maybe our deal is already done0
-
I got confused watching that video, why were the players running forward with the ball and aiming it at those white posts?

That video of Kirk is very interesting , looks like he's comfortable with both feet and would really add the directness we need.4

Try scoring points when we have signed these players. Thomas has already backtracked on us pissing this division.....Dazzler21 said:
Wait but people have told us our season is over cos players weren't all signed up before the first game and that we won't sign any now... Is Thomas suggesting we will and that we still have a battling chance?!Rothko said:0 -
Kirk is going to be the next Delort5

This Charlie Kirk has got really good movement off the ball, always seems to be running into acres of space having lost any marker.
Very comfortable running with the ball.
Apart from typical winger attributes, I noticed he was very sharp with quick short passing in tight areas.
Good awareness of team mates, finds time, looks up before picking a pass.
Also like the way he often took the ball to the line and cut back his cross low in front of his onrushing strikers - hard to defend that.

I’m still hopeful we can get Kirk but my hopes are fading a bit. My guess is that on Thursday/ Friday we thought we had him but then Sheffield Utd stuck their oar in.3

Has anybody found Charlie Kirk’s dads Twitter account?BigRedEvil said:Kirk is going to be the next Delort11 -

If it's true that Kirk has a buyout, I do wonder why we've waited until the start of August to bid. Very strange. I do now truly believe it's been accepted and his agent seems to be mucking around again. Hopefully the noise about Stoke and Sheff Utd is just to squeeze an extra few pennies out of us.

The question is whether we knew about the clause or not, I hear in the Grealish transfer Villa kept very quiet about it and City just so happened to stumble into it when they bid high enoughcafcfan1990 said:If it's true that Kirk has a buyout, I do wonder why we've waited until the start of August to bid.

Erm , yeah sorry about that…cafcfan1990 said:That takes me back. There was genuinely one bloke who used to shout "use the force Luke" about 3/4 times a match when Luke Young got the ball.1 -
If Sheffield Utd, or Stoke even, wanted Kirk why have they not moved before now? 400k is small change to both, especially Utd. We now from January that his agent isn’t adverse to playing silly buggers and he’s just trying to squeeze more out of us.4

Fairly sure we trigged the clause so in January so we either knew about it or it doesn't exist anymore.LTKapal said:

If Kirk is a target I hope we get him.
We know that SG is like a Beagle with a scent when he has identified a target and it must have been hugely frustrating for him this window if for whatever reason we have missed out on players (like Solomon-Otobor). Hope he is rewarded with the signings he wants.
Just over three weeks until SordellandChurch O'Clock0 -
