Bungalow Bill Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ?1.3 million! I'm amazed Hearts have set the valuation that low. We're talking about Vlad who got ?1 million for Paul Hartley when we'd knocked back the same amount 2 years earlier! He got us ?9 million for Gordon and no one's willing to touch him now! He signed Rudi, then sold him the same day for ?2 million. It doesn't strike me as normal Vlad behaviour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Last year Gowser went and kidnapped Temps and everything was fine. What we need is Captain Zal and his liff mates to take both of them in the back a van until after 12 tonight. I hear that this man has been seen in a blacked out van outside Temps' house and is just waiting for the nod from Captain Zal to move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naeclue Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ryan is on the edge of the Australian national team now - surely he won't wave that goodbye for a move to Rangers? I think the Australian's are odds on to qualify, world cup in Rio in 2014 or trips to Cowdenbeath on a windy Tuesday? The only thing that would sway him might be trying to get some cash for Hearts, ironically enough. Surely it's in his interest to hang around, he's only getting better, and he'll have more options the later he leaves it. I think both boys want to look after Hearts, and that might affect things. If they don't want to go to Sevco, hopefully they can sign one year extensions on existing terms, looking after Hearts, keeping them playing if they don't want to go, and getting them to a better place.

Munch Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Text size Ally snubbed in ?1m twin raid to land Hearts pair HEARTS today rejected a double bid from Rangers for winger David Templeton and defender Ryan McGowan. Ibrox boss Ally McCoist has confirmed his interest in landing Templeton, but has been rebuffed at the first attempt after the Jambos turned down a joint offer, believed to be less than ?1million, for two of their star men. McCoist faces a race against time to strengthen his squad before an SFA registration embargo kicks in at midnight, with Templeton, McGowan and Kilmarnock?s Cammy Bell all on his radar and could go back to the table as the clock ticks down tonight. McCoist said: ?I have said for a few weeks now that we need bodies in and David is certainly one that we would be really keen to get, along with a few others. Since the last time I said we needed bodies in, Maurice Edu and Kirk Broadfoot have gone the other way. ?Ideally, I would like to get another keeper in and let young Scott Gallacher go and play somewhere. I know Cammy has had an operation on an arm, but that wouldn?t put me off. He is somebody else?s player and you have to respect that. ?Managers will obviously go high, but I certainly think we need a handful, if not six. We are low on numbers.? Meanwhile, McCoist has been handed a three-game touchline ban, suspended for one year, by the SFA over comments made last season regarding the identities of tribunal panel members. Ibrox chief executive Charles Green was heavily censured for comments he made in the media. Green said: ?The decision of the judicial panel was disappointing as they accepted there was no intention on my part to bring the game into disrepute and this is reflected in the sanction imposed. ?I explained to the SFA previously and have said publicly what I meant by my remarks and it is time to move on.? McCoist said: ?At no time did I intend to bring the game into disrepute when I made my feelings known about the decision by a judicial panel, set up under the auspices of the SFA, to impose a transfer embargo on Rangers. ?I felt the decision was wrong and my concern was that everyone must have full confidence in a system that has the capacity to impose such severe sanctions. I wanted full transparency on a decision which had far-reaching implications for our club. ?At no time did I wish any individual subjected to intimidation as a result of my comments and I am pleased this aspect of the complaint was dismissed.? By CHRIS JACK By CHRIS JACK ALLY McCOIST hopes to land Hearts star David Templeton today as he gears up for a frantic few hours that could see up to six players arrive at Rangers.

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Does anyone seriously think Temps would choose to go to Rangers? Ignoring the fact he's a self-confessed Celtic fan who loves playing for Hearts with one of his best mates, in what way at all would his career benefit from playing in fields and being booted up in the air every couple of weeks by plumbers and posties for two years. Especially when his stock is higher than it's ever been and he can move anywhere for free at the end of the season. Temps has a real chance of breaking into the Scotland squad and arguably should have been included already. Wallace only went to Rangers because Vlad forced them to increase their initial bid fivefold - and he was also in the last year of his contract (I think). They'll have to do the same for Temps and McGowan for us to even talk to them. I'm also not so sure that Vlad would freeze out a player who turns down a move to the OF - he'd see that as a moral victory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 to be honest, given temps is entertaining this I already think he's a ****** I guess that it's in everyone's interests to pretend this is a real story. Hearts might just flush out a real bid from someone with cash, Rangers get to look like they're trying for exciting young players, and Temps gets his profile boosted and has a good negotiating position if he has to agree terms with another club. On the other hand, it's a bit harsh saying that someone who has allegedly been offered a pay rise of ?280,000 a year is a ****** for considering the possibility.

CJGJ Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's simple for both players Do I want to take a large pay rise but play lower league football for 2 years at least ? (with possible international consequences) Or do I stay this coming season on a lower wage and take the gamble that my talents will ensure that next summer I move to a better club/league with an even larger salary and signing on fee ? (with the gamble of not being injured or bad form course) The above of course does not take account of Vlad telling the players we need the money and it would be good if they moved on so we received a transfer fee ................ not that that would happen .... would it ?

Fair dues. But in the real world, the choices you make are based on the options open to you. While we might think that Templeton should have better options than the Scottish 3rd Division (e.g. in England), the reality may be that Rangers are the only club to have bid for him (I personally don't know). There are then two choices that basically need to be made. Do Hearts accept a bid from Rangers? If yes, then it's up to Templeton to decide if he wants to join. Templeton can't sign for a team in the English Championship, for example, if one doesn't make Hearts an acceptable bid for him. As far as Templeton goes, it could end up being a similar situation to Black...if he decides signing for Rangers is the best option for him, so be it. I am not going to wish him good luck, but I am not going to cry about a player making a decision that he considers best for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo-Jambo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Templeton would be crazy to make a move to the cheats. His stock has never been higher after the 2 Liverpool games. He would get kicked black and blue every week in the 3rd division. His international chances would diminish for the forseeable future. He would get way more money from even a championship club than sevco if he bides his time. Does he really want to go from the high of playing at Annfield to the nightmare of playing away at East Stirling. All for more money. Think about it Temps, its a no brainer.

Depends on your idea of sporting ambition, and all depends on the choices that are actually available. Players and agents probably have a better idea of clubs that are actually interested now or might be in the future. Like it or not, the current entity known as Rangers is still one of the best supported clubs in Britain, players are still getting called up for international duty and they can (somehow...and for the moment...) still give players contracts that will probably make them millionaires. As a professional footballer, taking that option may satisfy your "sporting ambition" more than signing for someone at a higher level...like Barnsley, Aberdeen or Millwall etc.. Maybe, given the options (or lack of them...), signing for Rangers for a 400% pay increase is something a player could decide IS the right move for them. He could stay at Hearts, break his leg tomorrow against Dundee and never play again. I'm pretty sure at that point he could be regretting the decision to hold out for that dream move next year to Ipswich or Derby. Obviously all the numbers and clubs above have just been plucked out of thin air. My general point is that people have to make their own choices based on actual options open to them. If the best option available to David Templeton turns out to be signing for Rangers in the 3rd division, that tells us more about the current state of the game, rather than Templeton himself.

Colonel Kurtz Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Fair dues. Depends on your idea of sporting ambition, and all depends on the choices that are actually available. Players and agents probably have a better idea of clubs that are actually interested now or might be in the future. Like it or not, the current entity known as Rangers is still one of the best supported clubs in Britain, players are still getting called up for international duty and they can (somehow...and for the moment...) still give players contracts that will probably make them millionaires. As a professional footballer, taking that option may satisfy your "sporting ambition" more than signing for someone at a higher level...like Barnsley, Aberdeen or Millwall etc..

Paolo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We could sell them now for ?2 mill and re-sign them in 12 months time. As 3rd Divison players a ?100,000 offer for the pair would be generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
