Sounds like most likely thing from their reporting is Hirst signs a new contract here.
With Delap going for £30m, strikers so hard to get hold off and George Hirst being excellent it would take silly money to get him away from here anyway |  |

Do you think we could effectively replace Hirst with £15M? If not, why would we accept that as a fee? At 26 I would want a lot of clauses that could easily be hit as add-ons and a decent sell-on fee. I think we paid more than that for Delap with no Premier League experience at all didn't we? |
Jay Stansfield was a target for us as a similar style centre forward, and Birmingham paid £15m for him to play in League 1 this season.
Sure he has done well at that level, as you'd expect - although taking penalties out of it, Alfie May has had a better goals return for them - but certainly no more impressive than Hirst's post January period in L1 for us.
Stansfield is younger, but Hirst is still only 26, and given that a lot of his quality is in hos intelligence, strength & hold up play, he should be a good performer for another 10 years, at Championship/PL level, barring any serious injury. |  | | |

Not saying I want Hirst to go as I think he will be our main man up top next season. However, given his injury records from the last two seasons if a huge offer came in, we should seriously consider it. BUT we simply must have replacements lined up first as we will 100% end up paying OTT. |  | | |

£15M Is the minimum we should even consider. Delap was £15M plus addons. Some were talking about taking £5M for Hirst, which crazy. Ideally Hirst goes nowhere this year, we get in another no. 9 to develop alongside Hirst, get Hirst on a 4 year contract and then maybe consider letting him go in a couple of years. | | | |

Football Insider is very clickbaity, so not sure any of it should be taken with too much credence. I'm sure GH's agents would love him to be offered new terms. |
Did you just call FI clickbaity and then report exactly the same thing? 😂 | | | |

It'd take a pretty ridiculous offer for us to even think about letting him go I imagine, and I can't see Leeds or Burnley wanting to pay an inflated fee for someone with his injury record over the last 2 seasons. If we can keep him fit, he's a top level Championship striker and he's shown he isn't out of his depth at a level up. We should be looking to replace Delap with someone who can compete with Hirst, I'd rather not have to replace Hirst as well as Delap. |  |

It really depends if Hirst wants to spend next season in the PL as backup (earning £50k) or if he’s happy as (possibly) main striker in the Champ (earning £30k).
If he wants out then there’s not much point keeping him. Hopefully he will stay. | | | |
