Darkwhisky7 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 There’s going to be lots of similar threads this month, me, I’ll just be patient and see what comes around, pretty confident we’ll come out of the window stronger, especially with all our injured stars back. If we make a couple of signings as well, great. Can’t wait to see our new centre forward in action as well. Soutar will be away but hopefully not for a year or two.

luckydug Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Don't think clubs will take a chance on him until he is over his latest injury.

We need to start getting decent fees for these players, including sell on. 1.5 years isn’t a long time and if he didn’t sign a new contract we can lose him for free next season.

HMFC86 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Be very surprised if a club would spend money on a player currently coming back from a second long term injury in fairly quick succession.

Hope its shite I think your hope is the correct answer. He has no desire to leave HMFC at the moment as he knows in himself he isn't the finished article and still has a lot of learning to do. And the figure of £2.5 million mentioned in this thread is surely someone trying to create a joke. When Souttar does eventually leave us it will be for a hell of a lot more than £2.5 million. In the meantime he will continue to develop at Tynecastle. Edited January 1, 2019 by portobellojambo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be capable of playing in the EPL, even if it is only a bottom 6 club. Which puts him much higher than the SPFL. Then there is the money side of things. He could be earning as much as 50k a week or more by heading South. Which he should absolutely chase. 3-5k a week here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Anything over £3.5m with a sell on and I'd be OK with it. Anything under £3m and although still good, be a bit underwhelmed. I'd want £4.5m but can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The club and fans (who can imagine all kinds of notional figures) live in different worlds. It's easy to say "£5m minimum", but how many such transfers occur out of the SPFL? Not many. If we get a huge fee then the chances of a sell-on diminish. If we insist on a sell-on then the up front fee diminishes. It's a trade off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about our Vlad, but he got the going rate for Craig Gordon. Besides, the rest of the teams outside Celtic are skint. What was the final fee for McGinn? How much are Motherwell selling their striker for? Edit: Never realised he was out of contract in the summer. But still. Most other clubs in the SPL would take low fees for their players due to lack of money in Scotland.

daftie Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Every time we have a thread about transfer fees, we always over estimate what a player is worth, all fans do it. The reality is, who knows what was told to get the player to sign a contract. We all believe he is worth a lot more, but I think anywhere near £3m and I think the club would sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, I'd be reluctant to deal at £2.5m while on the other I would not want us to lose out through injury as we did with Paterson. With Shaughnessy in the deal that is a bit more attractive but I would still want add-ons like for say 100 appearances, 10 or more international appearances and a percentage of any future transfer fee. Asking a bit much maybe but shy bairns get nae milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joondalupjambo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 To me it seems that these days any sell on clause and a decent percentage is key to an overall good deal. If we got 2.5m and 10% sell on to a team like Leeds then he excels and gets punted to a top 6 club in the EPL for daft money we could end up with another 2.5m or so. I trust Hearts to do the right thing in relation to Souttar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
