Have you ever had 15k in the bank, like 15k that you could spend on anything you wanted? Or have you ever opened your pay packet at the end of the month and there was 60k in it? I hate Celtic, Rangers and Hibs as much as everyone else, I’d happily bin my hatred for 15k a week. Maybe am weird. Sets your whole family up for life potentially. He could’ve positioned himself better and could’ve acted better, I don’t disagree with that but I can’t blame him for chasing that kind of cash. 

There are down sides as well though.

Your life is not your own when playing for one of bigot twins.

It's been said it's like living in a gold fish bowl.

It can also affect your family , kids getting grief at school etc.

Personally if I was good enough at football to earn that kind of money I would head to England where even second tier sides can out bid the OF.

Switch attention to Milinkovic, and unveil him with Naismith and Washington.

FFS Geoff. Just once concede that someone may have a point that doesn’t fall in line with your opinion.

Aye - Notts, any chat on that?  I'm told the contact was initiated from his side as opposed to ours, same with Walker.

Is it not more he has a year left so he's trying to get a settlement payment to leave?  i.e. give me a £50k and I'll go sign elsewhere or I'll sit and you can pay me £250k for not playing...

 

Just a case of who blinks first and what figure they can agree.

I was ignorant to the existence of TH until very recently. Man, that place is a ****** cluster****. Every banned, drooling, malcontent from here is posting ever more nonsense on their forum. 

 

Good for them, though. They can be big boys and swear whilst airing their drivel. 

 

I read on my one and only visit that the opinion is I’m an employee of Hearts, along with a couple of others. 

 

Bang up job, Dex lad.

I’d be happy for us to look at Gauld. Bring him in and let him work with the coaches and manager for a few months and get his swagger back.

I had a hunch much earlier this week. Common sense to make the enquiry .

Walker and Cummings are big pals he may have out a word in with Levein to see if we are interested.

Would Cummings not cost a fee?

He’s in the same situation as Walker, last year of contract so could sort a pay off with Forrest and he’s good to go. 

Failing that I think a fee will be required.

Gauld would always appear to have made sense to come to us - I was surprised that when he went out on loan in January it was to Hibs. I don't believe we didnt have the budget and we were crying out for creativity with our injury crisis.

 

So, it might be that Levein doesnt feel his career has gone where it should or could have and isnt interested - he didnt do much if anything with Hibs. Also I cant see him signing for us dividing support.

 

McNulty was only short term at Hibs but did well for them - I cant see him signing for us dividing the support.

 

That only leaves Cummings.

 

I must admit, I'd take him. I always felt he had a spark and energy when he played for Hibs. I think he would soon rediscover his maroon blood if he joined us - maybe a loan with an option to buy so that we are not absolutely bound into it if it doesnt work out.

What has done for them/down there to warrant a fee - surely he is more a burden re costs than somebody worthy of a fee and spending a fortune on him for a year if nobody buys him?

Wee cum dog - can’t really decide but if pushed would take him. Tidy left fit and was a busy player when on his game. I agree with earlier post maybe loan deal would suit both parties.

 He only has  year left on his contract, so I imagine we could take him on loan and pay a % of his wage while he was here.

Say Cummings comes in? Washington can play out wide aswell as Walker.

possibly our front 3 levein was on about.

cummings would shock me the most. 

Wonder just how true his dad saying he’s interested is as a loan surely is possible

It will be more than £250k for the last year of his contract. He would have been differed nearly £5k per week but knocked us back. Three year deals usually have annual increments built in to them. I’d guess he started at about £7k first year so last year is probably worth at least £8k per week so that’s £400k plus any bonuses. If he gets a settlement of half that it counts as a decent signing on fee with his next club.

That is the starting fee. Whether I agree with it or not, is irrelevant.

 So they would rather pay his full wage for a year as well as not get any kind of fee?

 

I'm not saying it's untrue, just saying it doesn't really make financial sense if they are trying to raise/save money.

 

It's all hypothetical anyway.

McNulty Is a good shout. We tried to get him before he joined Hibs but he/Reading knocked it back

I had thought maybe McGeouch - but I think most of us would be ok with him signing. 

 

Cummings is the real controversial one with his Hearts history and him basically saying he wanted to ram it up us every derby and him slagging his treatment of him and saying we were nothing to him any more.

 

All for the galleries of course, but that's the controversy as Hibs fans adored him - they would be spewing.

McNulty would be divisive as well I think. My Hibby acquaintances want him back

Fair enough. I’ve no clue about figures, was just using that as an example that they’re not due him money, it’s not a debt.

I hope it is the Jamie Walker who tried and done well for us, and not the don’t give a shit one we saw towards the end of his time here.  

 

I also hope it is not for a larger wage than we initially offered him.
