All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That's potentially a 120 minute shower! That is the amount of time Lafferty will have to spend in the shower if he goes anywhere near Easter Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Mike did a big job for us in Europe, 88, bet he was good company Smithee. He was actually pretty down, leaving a big club for Leicester IIRC because he wasn't good enough, he seemed really happy to sit with someone with positive memories. I liked the big man in maroon but honestly, who saw that celtic move coming?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie2004 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm waiting for the photo of him at Easter Road like we saw of him at Tynie. Good point, just wondering if Hibs have actually commented on this matter, I have not seen any can someone advise please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTBCAL Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Without saying too much I saw communications from HMFC regarding an announcement yesterday. I am pretty surprised there was nothing yesterday as it was fairly definate or so it appeared. I am surprised Lafferty is talking to them but if he is (I'm not sure he is tbh) then I actually don't want him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 LAFFERTY: All I am asking for is a little bit more money! BUDGE: We have made our final offer, take it or leave it. There is no magic money tree to draw from! LEVEIN: Erm Boss, Mr Lafferty has intimated he may go and discuss terms with Hibernian at 10.30am BUDGE: Sod it, there is 2 billion euro in the I.F.A. account to be distributed as you wish...

Nookie Bear Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 What is it he thinks Hibs have that we dont. Lets compare.... Training Facilities: Riccarton versus a farm in east Lothian Ground: A new stand and the most atmospheric stadium in Scotland versus lego land Fans: Our average versus their glory hunting once a decade over 10k average Money: What exactly would the difference be 500 quid a week either way no chance we're talking thousands here If he did choose them I'd love to know why Maybe Lafferty sees Cathro, then sees Lennon...and then has to make his mind up as to which manager he would prefer to play for. Anyway, this is just like any other person looking for a new job. If you have two potential offers then you need to weight them up on your own terms...this is just business and I am sure Levein understands that.

BelgeJambo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I once got pished with Mike Galloway at the pub in waverley station, he was heading for England after being sold by celtic. Lonely guy but kept getting the rounds in, I liked him. Top Top piss artist - Came to an end of season trophy award night, grabbed the mike and started singing the Hearts Song - cleared the place of Hobos. Anybody any idea what he is doing now.

Malcolm Tucker Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think if he'd signed, like one or two posters are saying, he'd have been announced by now.

Arnaud Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Maybe Lafferty sees Cathro, then sees Lennon...and then has to make his mind up as to which manager he would prefer to play for. This is my concern. Sees Lennon, a fellow northern Irish hot-head who he sees some of himself in and possibly has some warped respect for, or Cathro, possibly sitting in the corner* while Levein and Macphee give him the hard sell. *Not itk, Cathro may have been sat at the top table giving it large about how we do our work.

jbee647 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Just so I am clear he is meeting Hearts this morning for the 4th time and then there are plans to meeting Lennon this afternoon? I'm sorry but if he is meeting us for a fourth time and plans to speak to Hibs there is no way Hearts will be happy with this! Fair enough exploring options but surely you do that at round 1. If he doesn't sign this morning and meets that prick this afternoon there is no way the signing will happen - forget all this courtesy pish - Hearts is all that should matter to him after Hearts investing so much time and effort on him...get the deal done and confirmed this morning! Up till yesterday I was cool about the situation, I appreciate negotiations can at times be complex, but if KL has not signed for Hearts after 4 days of talks, we should walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Police Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 So my update this morning says deal is done and the club are waiting to announce it. I do not know what the hold up is. However as all my posts in this thread say. A deal has been done. And whilst i had no reason to doubt that this morning i feel more confident than ever that he IS a hearts player. Now i can see JJ has other info but i don't know where that has come from and i respect he may also have people itk. Different stories go to different people etc etc. Its not about point scoring or anything as JKB likes to make it out to be. I believe the deal is done and i still stick to that conclusion. The announcment i dont know what the hold up is but it may well be a double signing or due to a formal players death yesterday etc. The club are busy during the off season and prioties will no doubt be on other things also happening at the club right now. But my word is he is a hearts player and i have no doubt the club will say the same in due course. The hold up is that he's off to speak to Hibs, which the papers said on Monday was happening this week. Despite this, you and others have gone on about how he's agreed terms and signed a contract which is absolute nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My opinion is - if he's spent four days talking to us, only to go speak to Hibs - something is wrong. If we couldn't come to an agreement and he's toddled off to speak to other clubs fair play. But the fact it's Hibs may suggest he won't be coming back after our offer. I can't see why he has seemingly neither signed nor spoken to them already - it's been dragging on days now. Could we have given an ultimatum? Sign or talk to that lot - no going back if you do?

hughesie27 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There's far too many respectable members on here putting their necks out to state that he is our player for it to not be true for me.

Jambo 4 Ever Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It's not a Berra scenario where there's a personal reason for moving & taking a wage cut. There's not a Europe scenario. There's not a moving to Edinburgh dilemma. There's not really a first choice & you'll get in the NI team, as he'll be first choice for Hibs. History means nothing. That leaves money, most likely. I've not got an issue with it. If he goes to them, then I'd rather we've been working behind the scenes on another target and not wasting nearly a week on one person. Which I'm sure would be the case. This is my concern though.... what if we haven't got a back up plan? And it turns into another Gilks situation, where we just make do with what we have because we have spent all our time and effort on one player?

Slightly worrying if this is the case but no player is bigger than the club. He would be a big influence on them, they will lord it over us for a while if he chooses them, but we can't let someone who goes where the biggest wedge is hold us to ransom. Use the money wisely elsewhere Hearts. The whole saga is becoming bloody annoying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Hibs can afford to pay more, it's only likely to be an extra ?500 a week or so (pulled that number out my arse, but it's not going to be 1k a week more), which would make a difference to any of us but to a football player that's had a few decent pay days in his time, I can't see making a blind bit of difference. Hopefully this meeting is just a courtesy thing as we seem to have thrown all our eggs in his basket in the hope that he signs, meanwhile Aberdeen have got Greg Stewart in while we've been dicked around by this streak of piss.

Buffalo Bill Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I can understand people's frustrations but the club will have done everything possible to have persuaded him to sign. My feeling is that, after three days of talks, if he's now off to speak to Hibs then he'll go there if they simply offer him more money. Perhaps this particular deal has come too early for us. We have a new stand to build and fund and maybe, just maybe this season we'll be watching our operating costs more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungalow Bill Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Could we have offered a basic plus appearance fee (which seems reasonable to me) and Hibs have offered an equal combined amount as the basic (funded by the Cummings cash and lower average wage bill)? This is assuming Hibs have actually spoken to him. Who knows though. I was still fairly confident yesterday but I'm getting a bit nervous now. Still it won't be the end of the world, we move on to the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar PHM Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I wouldn't be overly fussed either, I've always regarded him as a bit of a huddie...but not to them! Setting aside who the player is for a moment. We should never be losing players to them in a straight fight and its bloody embarrassing if we do it this week or any other week. The player himself ? I'd like him, or at least someone of that standard. If its not him I hope we have a plan B for a similar standard of striker that we can switch to fairly quickly. I think as a club we should have set the clock on this for yesterday morning. We're going to look bloody stupid talking to this erse for nearly a week and losing him to a 2 hour meeting with Lennon.
