He also has no agenda against the club although, admittedly, his agenda against Levein sometimes across like that. 11 hours ago, Inch Hearts said: He’s no agenda about the club and speaks highly of hearts as he supports the club. Is Levein more intelligent and what are you basing this on? He tries to come over as having more upstairs than your average pundit (not difficult) but fails miserably, repeatedly using words in the wrong context. I haven't heard Levein using could of, would of, or should of, on national television Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if people who want to read about that dont have to scroll through 3 pages of complete and utter drivel to find out information!!

busby1985 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 As I understand it, Naismith trains in the house most of the time anyway before meeting up with the squad towards the end of the week etc. Don’t think he’s at training every session. At this point of his career am sure he’ll know his body and will be keeping himself ticking over before signing for us and joining our pre season.

Would it though? Assuming all the '13th month payment' chat is correct (and it's on the Internet, so it must be!), he's only due a £150k from them if he doesn't (officially, at least) have a club to go to when his contract with them ends. If he says to them now that he wants to start preseason training with us now, because he's already agreed to join us as soon as he's left them, it would hardly be pettiness on their part to say that's fine, good luck, and thanks for saving us £150k!

cocobeab Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Assuming Naismith does sign (I cannae allow myself to imagine he doesn’t after all this time) does anyone know if he is fit, ie free from injury, to start the season? Appreciate he’ll need to undertake a good pre season like all the rest but just wondered whether he was free yet from the problems that kept him out the cup final?

GorgieFifeLife Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looks like it will be August before he signs as his Norwich contract runs out on June 30th so if he remains a free agent for a month after that he will be due £150k.
