jamboinglasgow Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think two players will leave, one on loan, another permanent. And one player will come in (Toshney.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Gary Oliver or someone like Robbie Buchanan going out on a developmental temporary loan. It could possibly be both Robinson and David Smith out.

I think we should turn down the money i'm sure what AB budgeted for this season will be way above her expectations provided we keep on winning and to do that we need to keep ALL our good young players just now.

Guest GhostHunter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We aren't awash with money. There's only a finite amount available with AB's initial outlay, coupled to the FoH money, then there's the payments back to AB and wages etc. We'd be monumentally stupid to turn down 7 figures for any player in the current climate.

letsalldothebeattie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hopefully can keep hold of all our top young players Nicholson, King, Holt, McGhee etc. Wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle & Sunderland tested us with a bid or bids for Jordan McGhee today. Wouldn't be surprised if Robinson & Smith left today.

Ecce Romanov Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Shurely the most important thing is getting back up into the Premiership. If we can hold onto them and they turn out to be as good as we hope they are, then their value will have gone up by then (assuming they still have a reasonable amount of time left on their contracts).

rossthejambo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Nicholson seems like a smart lad, I think he'd understand if we turned offers down. He doesn't strike me as the type to kick up a fuss if we were to turn down a bid for him. Pleny time for him to develop. That said, if someone comes in with more that ?1m pound for him we might find it hard to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 In regard to Nicholson ?1m is good but look at Gauld going for ?3m with less game time that Sam. We could surely get same if not more in a year or 2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory House M.D. Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We wouldn't be monumentally stupid to turn down anything short of ?2m for Nicholson. The laddie is going places and at this stage a ?1m move to the strongest Everton side in years isn't a good move for Sam and isn't all that great money. It's a good move on paper purely because of the name but in terms of chances it would be pretty shite. We'll have an income of circa ?7m with FoH cash. Somehow, I think we'll get by. He'll also be worth more back in the prem. Honestly can't see us selling for ?1m less than 3 months after starting with a clean slate and having sold out signs up at the majority of games with 12,000 ST holders. The only player I'd say it would be very wise to sell is Jason Holt as there is no chance in hell he'll be with us beyond the summer of 2015.

Exactly. Celtic or Rangers offer that much and it's derogatory. Let's not forget how much we got for Two-purple-patches Templeton amidst financial trouble. Sam Nicholson is worth way more than him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi's Tynecastle Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 ?1m for any of our players would be difficult to turn down... ...except in the case of Nicholson. He just signed a new contract, which CL said was the best business we would do this summer. So we are in a strong position on that front. Also selling right now would be going against the new ethos at the club - to play a few years at Hearts first, then go on to bigger and better things. Nicholson could end up being the best example of this to use in future if we keep him a bit longer. Though tbf Everton would be a great club to go to, especially as an attacking player. Lastly, if we aren't desperate to sell then we get to play hardball on deadline day. Assuming no previous offers have been made, no way would I accept this initial bid (if it is even true of course!)

Big Moysey Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Would expect Toshney.

Bauld Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If 1m was evertons opening bid we would be stupid not to at least try and haggle a better price.

Mac80 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Craig isnt stupid he will know that sam will be worth a lot more in 1/2 years time. The lad has serious potential. Sam himself will also know that going to evert9n will mean very little game time, and he will be enjoying his football at the moment. The money will come for him, no rush.
