But now it’s officially really curious what it means for Hirst. Praying we can get him. |  | | |  |

I’m sure we have plenty of options. He’s a good fit but I’m sure the others on our list will be similarly equipped to compliment KM’s system. |  | | |

I think he’s class, really want him in a town shirt next year. | | | |

Is it forgotten that he ended up at town because he didn't step up to the championship....
If he signs, fine, but with our resources, I wouldn't be to suprised if we don't actually go for him now we've made the championship.
IMO we'll be looking for someone similar to Broadhead, Clarke etc who in future could hold their own in the prem. |  |

Wasn't so much he didn't step up as he didn't get a chance. He made two league starts at Blackburn, who made a strong start to the season, if I remember rightly. |  | | |

Got to get yourself those chances though Phil, and I think he's had a total of 40 championship appearences across two spells with 0 goals.
I'm not against signing him, at the end of the day he suits our style and he's had a great few months with us, but I wouldn't say he should be a top top priority which has had people desperate for leicester to stay up to aid our chances of getting him.
However, on the positive side of all of this.. his wages are now 50% less so there's room for negotiation.
It's difficult to predict which way KM and the recruitment team are going to go, but i'd still wouldn't' be surprised to see Dane Scarlett coming in, so maybe Hirst, Scarlett and perhaps 1 more experienced striker with freddie joining derby. [Post edited 28 May 2023 20:04]

Strikes me as a player who needs to play every week to maintain his form and sharpness. Took him a while to get going here but once he did he looked class. |  |

Didn’t have a run in the side for Blackburn and took him a month of games to get in form here. | | | |

How do you know his wages have halved? The majority may have no such clause i would suggest. I thought that was the point of the parachute payments. |  |

'd read someones post on here that they were facing a 50% wage reduction upon relegation....
"It was reported yesterday by various news outlets that they had pre tax losses of £94m and the players will get a 50% cut in wages should they go down."

Tho most of the Championship appearances for Rotherham were as a late sub. The team were struggling that season (ending in relegation), also he was much younger, only turning 22 in the February and was competing with the more established figures of Michael Smith and one Freddie Ladapo (plus Kyle Vassell until he went out on loan in January).
A bit harsh to judge his possible Championship future on that. Indeed, it could be said he did well to get on the pitch so often. |  |

This is why you're wrong on such a regular basis. Your 'facts' are something you just read on here or twitter (or you dreamt up).
We know why you're really not keen on Hirst - because you got egg on your face (again) after saying you didn't see the point of his signing. [Post edited 29 May 2023 8:38]

I'm fine if we sign him. I've made that very clear in this thread. I just don't see him as a top top priority. I think that's allowed Flash.
And again at the time it I didn't see the point of his loan.
Time passed. His loan helped us get promotion. Brilliant | |

I really don't know how people don't get it by now...
Certain players suit certain teams and styles. We've chased him for ages and while he was here we saw why. McKenna saw enough in him to bring him in on loan. I have no doubt we would sign him in a heartbeat if we get the chance.
His experience at Blackburn has no real bearing on whether we go for him. |  |

I think he will be even better with a full pre season, remember him had not played too much prior to getting here, and improved every game | | | |

I get where your coming from
He scored some very important goals for us at important times,
I'm on a fence atm,
The way I see it is if you look at all his loan clubs us and Pompey especially he didn't really set it a light early doors at all,now the why,
He obviously takes time to settle bed in he's done that here part of the furniture now, that's a reason to sign him,both clubs he's scored once settled,
He fluffs his lines sometimes but such a hard worker,
He needs to be slightly more prolific Chaplin isn't going to score as many next season,
Strikers as a position much more than any other is all about confidence, he grew into that,
I'm not writing him off,
He probably deserves a chance in an upward settled team,
I think we will go for him, |  | | |

I agree to a point hence why I said id be fine for him signing and I do think he will sign still, however KM'S thoughts may well have changed for all we know, so even if he didn't sign, I wouldn't be suprised as we have a bigger Market to shop in now imo.
BUT my actual point was more of the way some made it seem like the priority signing, which imo it's not, that's all. [Post edited 29 May 2023 12:26]

Do you think we need more than Ladapo and Pigott for that role?
Would a player we had on loan and performed the role very well be preferable to someone who hasn't actually played in the team before?
If your answers are yes to both of those, does that not make him a priority? Of course we will have alternatives to pursue should it not be possible. I would imagine we will have made enquiries about a couple of other options at least. |  |

We need a new striker maybe 2 yes,
whilst having someone in who knows the role well is good, with it being a summer window, it's not imo that important as who ever comes in has time to get upto speed anyway. | |
