Celtic offered £500,000 That’s an embarrassment. Would they have accepted that for Tierney when he was 17? No chance. Add another zero and add a 20% sell on clause and I might think about it.

Mr Elwood P Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Typical Hearts, no decent left back for years and years. All of sudden we’ve got two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weakened Offender Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Whyte looks like a great addition to the first team squad yet Hickey will probably play before him in most matches, similar to Naysmith keeping Pointon out in 97/98. Outstanding prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Panzee Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Nice to have positivity for one of our youngsters. lets hope he continues to progress steadily, he looks great already. remember the hype about Cochrane tho.....young players can change so quickly due to the, still be growing physically....and mentally....

Jammy T Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) The sort of thing I envisage if we get a link up with say Man City (as an example) - is basically getting a really tidy sum from Man City for Hickey. Really tidy. Say within the next year or two and then we still get him back on loan for a couple of seasons to continue to develop him in the first team. Kind of like what happened with Man Utd and Zaha. So we get to keep him for us long as we likely ever would - if he gets as good as it looks like he might - but we get a chunk of cash for him 2 years before he actually leaves.

jamtartan74 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hickey to sign a 5 year deal with city then loaned to us for 2 years with mashino coming to us for 2 years and city paying his wages is what I have just been told, not sure I believe it but that’s what I was told.

OTT Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The only thing the lad should be concerned with is what is in front of him. Moves to Celtic, City, Villa etc. are ridiculous at this age. Will disappear into reserve football like every other promising youngster lured down south too early. Also, how can Hickey sign a 5 year deal with City but not us? If thats actually possible (because of the restriction on contract length of youngsters) we need to force a change, its not competitive and fails to protect our interests in our best talents.

cocobeab Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 B Munich just signed a 16 year old Scottish defender from Celtic who was yet to make a first team appearance. That’s some scouting!

rudi must stay Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 He's not going to be here long, the secret is out with him after the Cup Final. I thought he was taking too long on the ball at times in defence, 2 games later he's sorted that. Some player. Yes he has ability but his attitude is spot on, plays with a smile on his face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There is absolutely no way we should be looking to sell this lad anytime soon. He seems a decent sort so I don’t think he’d bump us at the first opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You know how good a player is when you feel confident that he'll cope with a situation that he's about to come up against. His tackles last night were timely, his composure be-lies his age, his close control and concentration are pleasurable to watch. Reminds me very much of a young Gary Naysmith coming through. If I was Hearts i'd be getting him on a very long-term contract. I'd also tout his name down south so that some big clubs come in for him and we make some quality cash out of his sale. Even if a Man City wanted him they could throw us a few million then loan him back so he continues to develop. Last thing we need is one of the bigot brothers to come calling with a paltry sum.

Mikey1874 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Man City do sign a lot of players who never play for them but end up with decent moves often to the clubs they are loaned to. If I was Hickey I would wait for another year before making any decisions. And look to sign a long contract with Hearts first when he turns 18.

Tierney has never stood out he just gets overhyped for breaking into a big team in a pish league where he's never really been challenged and when he has he's looked pish.

Rocky jamboa Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hickey just needs to improve the attacking side of his game over the next few years to attract the top teams.
