Cruyff Turn Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 £1.5million when they’re one of the richest clubs on the planet and owned by a Sheik. Quote

CloustonHMFC Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 No danger this is happening, not for £1.5mil. £5mil and we can start to have a conversation. Quote

Doesn't sound like much of a bond if they are offering £1.5m. I’m guessing that figure is plucked from some weegie ’s arsehole anyway. Quote
Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Utter garbage. Surprised they didn’t plug that story this time last week. Usually the way when we go into an old firm game. Quote

Just had a wee google of him. Fat Celticky moron, by all accounts. Quoted figure probably what Celtic would try and pick him up for. Quote
Jodami Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I'm sorry but Hearts should not be cosying up to a team owned by a wholly corrupt state in the first place. They have also had no hesitation in trying to dodge financial fair play rules on several occasions. How does this fit with the supposedly principled approach of the club? Quote
Penrices left boot Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I think we'd take a few £m with a sell on clause. Quote
gnasher75 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I wonder if they would like to offer Craig Levein a new job as their Scottish scout. Quote
AJAMBO Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Seemingly depending who you read here Hickey isn't ready etc. I read a member post that small talk happened during a recent youth event at the Orium with man city interested in hickey. No bid was made was interest from Celtic too again not an approach but an interest. Interested if they want to do a loan deal with us for Ryotaro. No interest in selling Hickey till he can walk into the starting line up of one of the Top clubs who i believe will be watching him . £20M Quote

Beast Boy Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Probably lifted the story straight off here. Wouldn’t surprise me if wankers like McGregor have accounts on all the message boards and forums of clubs in scotland. Saves them having to do any real work. Quote
Famous 1874 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Only 1.5? Get that to ****. 10 million and a fat sell on fee Quote
RobNox Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 When is he contracted to? I understand we can't currently offer him an extended contract because of his age. It seems like our options are... Wait until he is 18 and hope he signs a contract extension. If not, he can see his current contract out and walk for a development fee. Strike a deal now that gives us a chunk of money while allowing us to hold onto the player. If the Man City offer includes a sell on clause, then maybe it's not a bad deal. It's all very well thinking that he might fetch us £5m or more one day, but just as likely we end up getting a few hundred thousand as a development fee. It might not actually be the worst model to follow, if we can develop relationships with top sides in England and establish a reputation for bringing through young talent. At the moment it seems like our approach is to try and hold onto the players for 150 games or so then sell them for big bucks, while risking them letting their contracts run down and leaving for a pittance. If we can sell for a decent fee while they are still at a young age, retain them on loan and include a sell on fee, then we get the benefit of an immediate return on our investment, which far exceeds any development fee, while also being able to retain the player for another season or two, and benefit from a share of any future transfer fee.

I think Hickey signed a 3 year deal in june-july I may be wrong though Quote

shaun.lawson Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 1. Hearts invest in women's football and recruit technical director from Man City women 2. Sun hack highlights the "close links" which don't actually exist between Hearts and Man City 3. Sun hack makes up a story about City wanting 17-year-old Hearts player, and invents price tag The Sun hack's gotta pay the bills, after all. Quote

Herbert. Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 I would rather he was sold to smaller club like Everton and had a big sell on clause because the fee we get for him could be sweetie money compared to his next move. Quote
Spellczech Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Looks a better prospect than Tierney... Quote

I agree he looks good at this early stage but Tierney has had a few good seasons, Hickey has a way to go yet. Quote
1971fozzy Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) If true , then we need to look at a bigger picture. We retain him on loan for a good few years and get a fee. Sell on clause ? Not many will choose to leave City so who knows about that. Other up side is possibility of getting some City boys on loan ourselves. Its a funny old world now. We risk losing players for nothing with contracts running down. The days of the likes of Craig Gordon and McGinn over the city getting us a lot of money are few and very far between. Hickey looks a very very good prospect. For me the best youngster I’ve seen in quite a long time here at Tynecastle. The Glasgow uglies may well sniff about at some point - well , try Edited August 27, 2019 by 1971fozzy Quote
I.T.K Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Would rather he go there then Celtic, which was rumored. Its would be a good result for the youth academy if we start selling players for over 6 figures to the EPL. Quote
iantjambo Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 1.5 million? With the crazy prices that they pay for bog standard players down the road, they can go **** themselves. Quote
TexasAndy Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 £5 Million plus he gets loaned back to us for 3 years would be a good start in the negotiations!! Quote
MattyK82 Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Even if we did sell him for an appropriate fee to the likes of City, chances are he would be loaned right back to us. Wont happen any time soon in my opinion though (unless absolutely crazy money is offered). He’ll know himself that he’s at a great club to play regularly and develop. Given the source of this ‘story’, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to it. Quote
BRY Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Could this be an agreement as part of the Meshino deal...? Quote
