Stanley_ Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ?265kfor Brian fecking Hamilton, yet 6 years later after the SMG money we couldn't afford ?100k for Ricardo Fuller. I thought it was 1 million we needed for Fuller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo, Goodbye Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I thought it was 1 million we needed for Fuller? I think he signed for Preston North End after he left us for ?500,000 so I would of thought that's how much we would of had to stump up if we wanted him?

jimthejambo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I thought it was 1 million we needed for Fuller? it was around 1million. we were literally days away from putting in the bid when the tv deal crashed/old firm pulled out of SPLTV/10 clubs resigned from the league. at which point the club quite rightly pulled the plug. was told this at the time by someone very much involved in the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ?1 million rings a bell with me too. I think we had first option and at the time folk were suggesting it was a good investment. A poster called kenny had all the ins and outs on how the deal should be done, what a great investment it was going to be etc. Only issue he ever posted on The club line on this was that they couldn't get insurance for Fuller I think. It might have paid off because he was a great talent, but the club was already spending outwith its means ... and as we saw there was very little accumulation from the speculation (other than the debt which meant the club tried to sell the ground).

Perth to Paisley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Did Robbo not score on his second debut? If he didn't it doesn't matter it was just 'nice' to think about all the goals the wee guy scored. So far i have seen about 40 in my head.....

Papa Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Deja vu! Shades of Stephen Hughes. I once spent 100 years one fortnight in a wet and windy Devon surfing the net for news that we had signed him after Mark Mcghee said that we had gazumped the well. Fair ruined my summer!

mulleted_jambo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Not very exciting but spoke to a hearts player tonight who said Beattie had looked good in training. Also he did a fitness test today He also said he had no idea if he was going to sign or not.

TheBigO Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It would hardly be a shock if this done deal failed to come to fruition! But lets hope he bags a hat trick against the arabs!! Wonder how many done deals have gone mams-high come dawn in the VR era.* I guess the problem in us compiling a list is that we simply won't know most of them. For example I know for def that before the summer window shut Paulo asked for and was granted the signing of a Portugese CH, whose name I don't know. Thought it was done deal - was told by club it was, door SLAMMED shut, club hadn't acted. Happens a lot I think. Stephen Hughes: we reduced agreed terms at last minute, he rightly told us to stuff them Portugese CH: does it count if I don't know his name!?!?!?!?!?! Zander: was VR who wanted him and VR who canned it (on advice of club doc - coincidentally a good friend of JJs!!), but still counts as was "done deal" Hartley: Again, VR who pursued, not the manager, and never so much pulled plug, but dallied enough that PH had to take another offer Mehmet: Agreed terms, too much time passed waiting for the paperwork and he got a better offer (so we got KK instead! Yay!) Bound to be more I'm not remembering. Hope Beattie not added to list as I've always thought he was decent - or certainly used to think that. Type of signing we need to make and a market we need to look at - kind of Sam Allardyce, Harry Redknapp type signings. Lost their way a bit, but get the best out of them. *By done deal I mean a deal the manager believes to be done but heel-kickery, goalpost movery or sheer bloody-mindedness from the club hierarchy (read VR) has scuppered intentionally or otherwise.

Coco Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Seems to be a little bit of enthusiasm for Beattie on here. What job do people think he can do that Elliott can't do? Surely the sensible thing to do if there is a bit of cash available is to add a player who can do something that the existing players can't? eg a poacher who can actually score, a brute in the air, a player who can hold the ball up for others for example.

cosanostra Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have faith in Gosling. He's been decent in the past with his ITK scoops. Really hoping he signs because having Elliott up front on his own is making me dread going to Hearts games. Saturday was so depressing. I think signing CB would give us and the players a wee lift.
