DigOutYourSoul Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It was AFC Fylde that bid the 150k for Shankland. They’re selling their main striker and have just rejected a bid of around the same amount. Maybe we should just cut the middle man and go for Rowe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd23 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 How about £150k and Moussa? That adds up to about £120k 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Litt Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The rumour is that he's due a very decent percentage of any transfer fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Take it and buy a decent LB and Shank. Caulker cost us nothing as far as I. Aware anyway. 100% profit and he is due to go at some point. Why not now when it could serve us best? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aware anyway. 100% profit and he is due to go at some point. Why not now when it could serve us best?I agree with this.He came in for nothing and was never going to be a long term signing. Therefore, I think it might be sensible to take the money - even if Dundee only see 750k of it - and use that to strengthen.Selling him to Rosenberg made no sense given it was a critical time in the season. This is different in my mind. The money could easily be used to bring in a CB,LB and ST which could make a big difference.No disputing Caulker is our best player but I think it a bid like that comes in he’d be off. Far rather he went back down south as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodallegabombs Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Agree with the above thoughts. Personally I’d try and push the price up a bit as the English deadline is tomorrow so we have the upper hand. But take the approx 1.5 - 2m (minus anything due to Caulker) and reinvest 50%. That will go a long way to helping balance the squad and filling the known problem areas.I’d like to keep him but it makes far more sense to get the money, he came in for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Caulker would be mad not to go to Leeds if there is legitimate interest, basket club or not, they're an absolutely massive club and are now playing under a legendary manager in Bielsa. It's an absolute no brainer. If the interest is true, we can only hope we can push up the price slightly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Also, as much as people have disliked O'Dea's performances recently, he's more than quality back-up to Kusunga and Meekings at this level. If we can get a decent fee for Caulker it'll strengthen our position to reinvest in the areas that desperately need it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
