Section Q Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 David Milinkovic has told Genoa he would like to return to Hearts next season but the Italian club are demanding a £600,000 fee. The Frenchman is keen to continue his career at Tynecastle Park but negotiations are at a tricky stage with interest from other clubs in Italy and France.Read more at: https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/genoa-quote-hearts-600k-transfer-fee-for-david-milinkovic-1-4748557 http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/940514734?-347:821 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 For all I like DM there’s no way we should think about spending that even if we did have surplus lying around. Maybe in a few years when finances are in a far stronger state in respect of budget for the first team can we then think about any large fees for players we feel are worth it.

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Unless they either drop the valuation by a few 100k I’d sadly pass on this deal. Either that or maybe another loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Not a chance we could pay that but to be honest I wouldn’t say it’s a dramatically unfair price. Based on that they would take 400k for him which is about right Sadly it won’t be us paying any of that type of fee at this moment in time. Unless we sell Soapy for £1.5m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's like the Lee Miller situation all over again, surely we agreed a suitable buying price as part of the loan arrangement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 To an established Italian team like Genoa I'm sure that's a relative pittance, and seems a low valuation; but to us that's mile's out of our spending power. Or at least way more than we should be spending with our other obligations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Nobody will pay that imo. Not a bad thing, gives room for negotiation or another loan. Don’t see this one getting sorted quickly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) I would love to see him back next season but £600k is too much and we don't have £600k anyway. It's a starting figure that will drop but I can't see it drop enough for us especially if there are other clubs interested.

Adam_the_legend Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 600k is an impossible figure for us right now, unless we were to sell someone for decent money and even then I don’t think he’s worth it. Are Genoa going to drop their asking fee by 75%? Unlikely. Sounds like we’ll just need to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Jambo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 39 minutes ago, Bozi said: I thought they cancelled his loan arrangement so that they could loan him to us? So often posters talk as if we are the only party involved in negotiating a deal with another club or player. (Why didn't we sign McLaughlin for longer being another classic example this season.) If Genoa think he is worth £600k now, they probably thought that a year ago too. He has been good but I wouldn't say has massively increased his value this year. Do you think we should have had a suitable price of a couple of hundred thousand negotiated in Mitchell's loan deal as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 27 minutes ago, Herbert said: I like him but 600k could buy us 3-4 decent players. Hopefully 600k is just a starting point and they are willing to negotiate. Suppose it might depend if any of Barry Anderson's piece is true. If there are other clubs interested and Genoa see a present value of £600k as fair then they might be more inclined to negotiate upwards rather than reducing the price. I don't think it matters whether it is Milinkovic or any other player we are interested in, we aren't in a position to offer that sort of money at this time. We are looking, at this stage, to assemble a team which can compete in all domestic competitions and that sort of money could well get us 3 or 4 other players who overall could help more in us achieving that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagey Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 When does his current contract run out? Did I read somewhere on here he’s turned down a new deal? If it’s next summer then maybe wait to sign him in January on a pre contract and see if a cheap deal can be done then? Genoa are having a laugh at 600k. he’s hardly kicked a ball for them and they’ve loaned him out since he signed. Hopefully Skinny is working an angle with then to get back to Tynie.

dazajmbo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Don't believe that for a second. Banderson is full of sh!te, makes things up always. 26 minutes ago, Marvin said: Didn't he get his Lafferty exclusive from here? Yeah 2 weeks after I posted it. The day he signed he was telling us all how he was at Easter road for crunch talks. I called him out on it, got shot down on here and 20 mins later scarf above head is online.. He does not know how much Genoa want, nor does he know if we would pay a fee or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbauld Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Not nearly consistent enough to merit a large fee, when he does turn up he is great but that's not that often.

hisnameis Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Take off a zero and we're talking. Even if we had it we would be unlikely to spend that for a guy who was in and out of the team.

cosanostra Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Even if we had that to spend, i don't think he's worth that amount. 250-300k maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genoa have around 20 players on loan at various clubs at the moment (judging by Wikipedia) - they might just be chancing their arm but I think Milinkovic loves Hearts more than Levein loves him.

frankblack Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) There doesn't seem to be any room for negotiations here. This valuation is utter fantasy from Genoa. Time to focus our attention elsewhere. If we are the only bidder then Genoa have severely misjudged what our spending limit is.

redm Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ah. Might explain why Levein made a point of talking about our restricted budget around the same time as news of the £3m transfer from FOH. That’s one heck of an inflated price tag. I love Skinny and I’d love him to come back next season but suspect both he and Genoa know that £600k is way out of our price range.

You can see why some fans don't think a guy who couldn't make the first team of a mid table championship side is an improvement on last season. How come Steve Clark who has just had a really good season at Killie is seen as a one season wonder that doesn't deserve the benefit off the doubt yet, but a guy who couldn't get a regular game with Inverness does deserve it. There's some logic flying around this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_HMFC Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Never worth 600k. Half that, maybe, but 600k is way out of our league at this moment in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
