Probable transfer nonsense - Knibbs leaving

[Brum Royal]

Couple of Knibbs rumours on Twitter/X. First is more believable, second seems like utter tripe.

Norwich City have made an offer of around £1m for Reading forward Harvey Knibbs.

The former Villa man got 20 G/A last season in League One from 43 games.

He is set to be offered a four year contract which is keen to sign,

Deal could be announced soon.

Yesterday:

HOT OFF THE PRESS: Oxford United have had a 250k bid for Reading talisman, Harvey Knibbs, accepted.

I've been told that the forward is keen on a move from the Royals and is excited by the project under Gary Rowett.

Medical tomorrow.

We sold Bindon for £700k reportedly, so £1m for Knibbs seems a lot. And I'd question whether he's good enough to be a Norwich target, although I hear they've been shit

£250k seems a bit low, but Oxford is close and Championship. He'd fit a plan for fighting survival / a new L1 promotion push.

Bindon was almost out of contract though, no?

Both those accounts spew forth complete bollocks on an almost daily basis.

You may think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

The vibe at the end of last season was that it would be a surprise if Knibbs is still here at the end of August.

Knibbs will end up at Wrexham , around deadline day

At least 6 months left, I forget, but that's only 6 months less than Knibbs now. And Bindon also a significantly better player with a far higher ceiling.

He's not far off.

Not sure what transfer fee Knibbs would command but he's only 26 and we're actually under sensible ownership so I'd hope we'd get close to his true value.

One would hope he and Garcia are priorities for the club to get to re-sign during the forthcoming season. But who knows, some clubs might come up with “to good to turn down” offers in the next couple of months or so.

In a case of complete guesswork and gut feeling, I'd be looking roughly £500k with 1 year on his contract, £750k with Hammondesque negotiation.

Obviously double that for Wrexham
