busby1985 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I’ve told this story before but will tell it again. I watched Hearts vs Rangers at Ibrox last season, 3-0 to them, with someone who used to play with Wighton at Dundee. Wighton and Clare played up top and I asked him how Wighton has managed to get a move to a club like Hearts. He said he is one of the best players he’s ever played with..................in training. Touch, pace, skill, finishing and passing etc, all top notch when it doesn’t matter. Says he just doesn’t have the confidence or the arrogance to take it onto the park. He couldn’t believe we had signed him and paid money for him. Says the pressure of playing for Dundee was too much for him so no idea why anyone thought he’d be able to do it with the pressure of Hearts. Said he’s a lovely guy but just doesn’t have it in the head to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Budge wants to get her money's worth out of Levein give him a mop and bucket and get him to clean the dressing rooms. That is all he is good for.

You just made that up to suit your agenda didn’t you 😜?!?! Tbf, I agree with your figure, but Wighton came from Dundee, Clare from Sheffield wed, so Clare is Likley to be on more than the average, Wighton maybe less o, but your figure is about right imo.

OTT Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think signings like Wighton kinda sum up why we are where we are. Undoubtedly has talent. But lacks the confidence to show that ability in a football stadium. IIRC did someone not say players who have played with him at Dundee not say he had everything in training just not the confidence to take it into a match? Rather cut our losses now and stop kidding ourselves on he's suddenly going to grow a spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts007 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 19 minutes ago, GinRummy said: STV east news confirming he might need up back at Dundee. Dundee manager James McPake will not rule out a move to bring striker Craig Wighton back to Dens Park this January. The 22-year-old is free to leave Hearts 18 months after signing for the Edinburgh club from Dundee. Wighton came through the ranks at Dens, making 96 appearances and scoring eight goals in dark blue. Asked if he would try to sign the player this month, McPake said: “It was talked about in the summer as well – he’s a player I know very well but he’s a Hearts player so that’s where we are at with that one. “I like good players and Craig is a good player but there is a process going on that we have been working on since the summer. “We’ll not talk about who those players are because there is a lot of them. “Is Craig one of them? Maybe. But at the moment he is a Hearts player and there will be loads of interest in him I am sure.” really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonbe110 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 2 hours ago, wavydavy said: How do you come to the conclusion his figures are made up? We paid £250k for him in August 2018. The average wage as reported in the media for our first team players is £138k p.a. So if we assume he is on the average wage then he will have been paid about £185k since he joined us. That gives a total of £435k without any add ons such as agents fees etc, etc. so Pasquale's estimate of £500k is highly likely in my opinion. Do you disagree with that? Tells us what you think it should be. How do you know we paid £250k for him? We have a range of £50k-£250k on here. He will also be paid below the average given his age and where he came from. I’d think £1,500 pw maximum for him. Regardless there’s no doubt we made a decent investment in him and it hasn’t paid off. But that’s football. This forum was very positive when we signed him so a good percentage of us believed in the investment. There’s no arguing that injuries have scuppered his 18 months with us and certainly messed with his confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it works like that. It’s based on what they were earning before plus what we can afford to pay him plus what other clubs are prepared to pay him. It also needs to fit in with the clubs wage structure in terms of who gets paid what. We got Uche on a free so how much do we pay him?
