Kiwidoug Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 According to the Hibsman, Hearts are lining up a 350k bid to bring this Bulgarian midfielder to Tynie. His club, Plovdiv or something, are skint and need the money. The article sounds really promising and it will be great if it happens. This is what's possible when you have 8,000 monthly subcsribers and 16,000 plus home crowds. Well done to every one of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSTR Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 And Mr Levein did hint at bringing in a young midfielder on twitter. His club also put out a certain Hibernians FC in the UEFA cup way back in 86. Beating them 10-0. This lad is brought up to hate anything remotely Hibs.

CJGJ Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/hearts-linked-with-bulgarian-milen-gamakov-1-3858292 Hearts are weighing up a ?350,000 swoop for highly-rated Bulgarian midfielder Milen Gamakov, according to the player?s agent. The Tynecastle club have already had one bid for the 21-year-old knocked back by his club, Botev Plovdiv, after offering ?100,000 plus a 20 per cent sell-on fee. Gamakov, who was runner-up for the Young Player of the Year award in his homeland last season, is also thought to be attracting interest from Italian Serie A outfit Palermo. He has one year left to run on his contract and Plovdiv, who are in a precarious financial position, are keen to cash in on one of their prize assets during this transfer window. Nevertheless, Hearts have been told that they will need to substantially up their offer, with a fee of ?500,000 (?350,000) quoted by sources in Bulgaria. ?The [first] offer has not been accepted, but Hearts have not given up,? confirmed Gamakov?s representative, Milen Georgiev. ?There is also interest from other teams.? The playmaker, who cuts an imposing figure at 6ft 2in, is considered one of the most promising talents in Bulgarian football and has represented his country at every youth level up to under-21. He received his maiden call-up for the senior side last November for a Euro 2016 qualifier against Malta, but was an unused substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudiHMFC Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I've been thinking for a while we could do with a big animal in the centre of the park who can create and chip in with goals, 6ft 2 playmaker sounds very promising indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A word of caution though as the story has been leaked from his agent rather than from the club The money side is again quotes/leaks from the agent who know doubt is looking to sell the player with the clubs permission. He looks likes and seems to play like Vukic who Rangers had on loan last season..decent left foot from the video. I wonder how our last young 'wonder player' from Bulgaria worked out ?

CJGJ Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Something about this rings a bell ? The club itself does seem to have financial problems losing their manager last summer 2014 and players due to financial issues after being taken over a few years earlier by a banking owner who promised large investment and building projects for the club...... some were delivered but the downsizing began last summer 2014...... 'Botev Plovdiv's manager Lyuboslav Penev leaves the team. He will no longer be coach of The Canaries due to the financial situation in the club and few of the most well-payed players leaving the team. It is not about his personal demands and financial requirements, but because the team can't reach the aims that we first wanted to follow, said Ivan Djidjev, director of Botev Plovdiv PFC. The team will be lead by the coaches that are currently in the club. Penev thanked all the staff and the fans of the team for the warm attitude towards him' The story below also seems familiar to me for some reason..just can't quite remember why ? Bulgarian side Botev Plovdiv Owner Tsvetan Vasilev has "withdrawn" from the club, according to Alexander Krassimirov of INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL. The majority shareholder at the "troubled" Corp. Commercial Bank is "transferring his assets in Botev Plovdiv to fans group Association Botev." Vasilev is "wanted by the Bulgarian Prosecutor's Office" and is currently in Serbia, where he was arrested. He has "donated 51% of his shareholding to the fans." Vasilev said that he "regretted that he was not able to complete his 'job at Botev.'" With his entry there were "ambitions for a major restructuring of the club," based around the core assets of its players and their value in the transfer markets. The club "had also negotiated the Hristo Botev stadium on concession for 35 years" and announced plans to further invest BGN 20M ($10.9M). The collapse of the Corp. Commercial Bank has "put an end to those plans with the removal of Vasilev's ability to finance the club and his plans."
