Selling to other spfl teams

I have never got why we sell to other spfl teams on most occasions it comes back and bites us. I know it's a quick easy sell gets rid of a wage but they are rival clubs fair enough prince was good when he was good and Juanma still needs to find his feet in the Scottish game but selling or loaning first team players out should be a no In my opinion.

When has it come back to bite us?

I suppose you could argue that Swanson, by scoring 2 goals in the LC tie "came back to bite us", but overall he's not exactly been missed.

If a player goes to a club in the same league there's always a chance of them doing that, but if they've not been in your team or you've replaced them with better then it's no big deal

Who was the last player we sold to another SPL team? After we've released a player we have no influence on who he signs for next.

Bazzas right boot

Loaning shouldn't come back to bite us, the players can't play against us, but they can cause damage to Hearts rivals, win- win for us.

 

Don't think it's a big concern, Wallace is the only one who I can think off, even then he wanted to go and his contract was running down.

Andy Watson scored the winner for the vermin to end our 18 in a row (I think).

I'm pretty sure that was Eddie May.

I have always found it weird that our best players have always went to rangers yet celtic very rarely sign hearts players directly.

Black, Temps, Wilson, Weir, Velicka?, Holt, Ritchie? My memory is pretty rubbish, confirmed by trying to remember this stuff. Can't think of anymore going to Celtic.

Can't comment on the old days but in recent times at least we have the pleasure of knowing that most of the players who went to Celtic or sevco after us were poor signings in the end and we got the best out of them when they were with us.

Black went there as a free agent I think.

Weir went to Everton and was there for years before Rangers.

Velicka was signed by former Rangers player Egil Ostenstadt (Viking Stavanger?) and immediately sent to Rangers.

Ritchie was tapped up by Rangers but then they went cold on him. Derby via Man City, I think? Never made an appearance for Rangers.

The entire 1888 team complete with strips

Three quarters of their fans

Stein

Stanton

McGinlay

Collins

Jackson

Laurson

Agathe

Brown

Riordan

Killen

Stokes

 

Durie

Goram

Murray

Miller

Whittaker

Thomson

 

Off the top of my head.

Some of my post might need fact checked, but I think that's how it went. :thumbsup:

Galloway is correct.

 

Coming the other way we have had Colquhoun, Mahe, McPherson, Derek Ferguson, Niemi, Sandy Jardine, Alex MacDonald, Willie Johnston...................so done not too shabby!

Was it not Wallace?

Wallace in the 60s. Lynch in the 70s. Lynch scored the winner from the penalty spot in a cup final against Rangers.

We defo got the best out of him as he was brilliant as we marched to the UEFA Cup Quarter final. Was pish for them. Sure he got sent off against us at Parkhead? Right in front of the 5000 or so Jambos?

Forgot about Galloway. Yeah, I was talking about direct transfers, not players who went to OF later.
