Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

[Iceman]

Get this end of transfer window wrong, and I can see us getting relegated, or at least fighting for our lives..

We need to bring in Hyam, and try and get one or 2 of Caulker, Van Hecke or Sepp as well..

Lose Brereton, then imo, we need to go small, somebody quick footed, who knows how to find the back of the net. Gallagher can still provide that target man option, but we really need a striker who can run at defenders..

[simongarnerisgod]

we`ve got to give him a chance if he lands here but he`s not going to get the fans excited and expectant is he,i can think of better options

Leicester have cash flow issues due to their owners underlying business suffering so maybe Hirst is available at knockdown.

His goals record at Pompey and at youth international level is quite good suggesting that he can take the chances IF they are being created.

He fits the uncut gemstone model.

AND he's not a midget.

Midget? You mean “Person of short stature” 

can’t even call my favourite sweets midget gems anymore.

Looks like a big No9. Maybe JDT wants a focal point to the attack after all. 

The 5th goal he looks like he has some pace too. 

[roverandout]

Rather have his dad David hirst

When I typed that I knew I might be infringing PC and woke culture.

My internet is slow today so had no chance to correct it.

I feel suitably ashamed, honestly.

I’d say it’s pretty difficult to play 32 games as a striker and not score a goal. Even if it was with Rotherham. You’re in Chris Brown territory.

edit. He’s already a better header of the ball than Gally. Don’t like him take the pens though.

Even 13 goals for Portsmouth is very poor. They are one of the better teams in Lge 1 and create a lot of chances.

No need to be ashamed on my part ARA. I’m not a midget.

No way we need 3 CB's.

We would already have Wharton, Hyam, Ayala, Phillips, Carter. Why would we need 7 CB's?

Even if you only then brought one of the Van's in as well, who do you leave out? Ayala, Wharton, Hyam?

I would have preferred JPVH permanently to Hyam but such is life. I think Phillips showed yesterday he is already finding his feet at this level, would hate to see him unable to get a game and we can't really loan him out unless he signs a new deal first

I heard that name from a Leicester fan at work when JDT was first appointed. The first player Broughton made enquiries about apparently, but then Vale started showing glimpses in pre-season so pushed a loan for Hirst down the priority list.

Perhaps being back 'on' is a judgement on Vale that he needs time on loan himself.

They know Vale isn't up to it at this point. Bet they're looking to move him on.

He scored and assisted 0 last time he was in the championship .. league 1 is his level,  I honestly can't believe after the last 3 games your okay with this potential signing?

To be fair he was about 20 years old wasn't he?

But still, underwhelming. And especially if we spend a lot of money on him.

Can someone explain to Venkys that Adebayo is still only 24 so they can make a good profit on him when he's sold on?

[Finlay McKenna]

I’m not a massive fan of Hirst but judging him off his time at Rotherham is a bit selective…

On who's say so did they have Farke and Carvahal?? I've seen nothing from the club or anyone else of substance to back up that fantasy. 

As for Styles.... Again pure fantasy! 

Hirst?? Oh Elliot Jackson's reporting on it as well another great track record lol

I'm of the opinion that no one is truly in the know other than those making the moves at the club. 

I could turn on here and throw names around willy nilly.... Doesn't mean it's gospel.

Wake up, grow up and stop being so defensive love x

Seems like you could save yourself some blood pressure by not hanging around a transfer speculation thread

Archer unrealistic 

Gyokeres VERY unrealistic 

Hardie of a similar level to Hirst

Why is Gyokeres very unrealistic? Coventry need the cash it seems.

archer was at preston last season🤣he`s not exactly haaland

coventry are skint,though i admit he could be out of our reach

hardie is a proper target man,good finisher and good header of the ball as well

Not really as it's the only time he's played at Championship level.

Trawling through internet trying to find some exciting options. Wow its underwhelming. Either too old, too expensive or doesnt score.

Hirst started for Rotherham 3 times.

Edit: 4 times, actually.
