RandomGuy Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 And as for signing folk up 6 months ago doing things like that caused financial problems in some clubs. What? You think an extra six months of wages for a couple of players would cripple the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Brown Jr doesn't even like paying players over the summer months remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 What? You think an extra six months of wages for a couple of players would cripple the club? You are not talking about an extra 6 months salary though. You are talking about agreeing a signing on fee and agreeing a 1 or 2 year contract.

LennyFaeStenny Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I see that's Dylan Bikey just signed for Hearts, surprise surprise that we didn't take a little chance on him no idea why I got my hopes up in all honesty all hope rests in George Hunter turning into something which isn't going to happen.

As he was on trial with us how do you know we didn't? Hunter chose us over Hearts. Greg Hurst chose to join us from Stirling Albion. Can't win 'em all.

mainstand Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hearts signed him and yet he was on trial at hibs at the time. Strange that they have only signed him on a 6 month contract especially if they were paying 40k for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hearts have really strengthened. So have Aberdeen. It's near nigh impossible for us to maintain our lofty status in this league without investment. We really do just keep defying logic! Suppose hard work gets you do far!

Shaggy Jenkins Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Not sure if I'm that bothered to be honest, we would be paying a fee for potential. What we need is someone to come in and make an impact now, I doubt bikey would be that player, I wound be surprised if he features much for hearts first team As such given we probably have enough potential in the current in the under 20s and given his age we, would be developing him as one of our overage picks (if that is still a thing in the u20 league) I fail to really see where he would fit in here. Unfortunately hearts can probably afford to take a gamble we can't. That said we do need to strengthen up front and given we have lost players from the wage bill, find it inconceivable that there is nothing there for at least a decent loan signing.

Killie are going for a "throw enough shit" approach, while Hearts is based entirely on stats. would a fee be needed for a free agent? For Bikey, yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David123 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Reckon next season could be a big transition period with several players coming to the end of their careers, maybe that's what Brown is setting up for TheYellowBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crieffsaintandy Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Wish we had taken Haber before Dundee! Just the striker we are missing Haber was shit last time he was here, and still isn't great, if we ever do loosen the purse stings for another wage would hoping for someone better than Haber on a free. Still mystified why teams like Motherwell, Inverness, Killie etc seem to get folk in, but then again counter argument is they are below us and the continual change of personnel for these clubs doesn't work, but really need a few resigned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David123 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 so who gets the money? It was his old club, because Stirling signed him as an amateur when he moved on the new club had to pay development fee of £40,000 to his old team in France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Reckon next season could be a big transition period with several players coming to the end of their careers, maybe that's what Brown is setting up for I think that too, but then I've thought the same for the last 2-3 seasons! Take Midge and Macca out though (Macca will play on I'm sure) and actually the rest of the starting 11 still has a few years in them yet. The danger is trading down in quality. The way Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs to a degree are more financially secure, it becomes harder and harder for us to get the upper hand. That said, good manger, good team spirit, hunger and experience trumps what much of these clubs can offer on the pitch. Just ask Danny and Liam.

Broon Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Looks like Gordon will remain out on loan so prepare yourselves for an inspirational signing....a defender. We don't really need a new striker...do we? Nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
