Tasavallan Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 13 hours ago, Notts1874 said: I would suggest we have offered him whatever we can afford. That may not be enough but it's not Hearts fault. Hickey has no Hearts heritage and is only a reletively late recruit. Due to his age I understand he is being advised by his father, who may be looking for more than just financial terms for his son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 7 hours ago, SectionDJambo said: Probably Alex Ferguson and Jock Stein. Hearts weren’t too clever at times either. It was fairly normal practice. Some clubs didn’t treat players very well, holding them to cheap contracts and managers tended to be guys who ruled by fear, or had a hard headed board of directors. The aforementioned Alex Ferguson, in my view, showed remarkable man management of players at Manchester United, post Bosman. He generally managed to keep players motivated and loyal, without the iron clad contracts that had been the norm previously. Apart from the odd exceptions, like David Beckham having a plaster over his eye after an altercation with a flying boot. McLean had a reputation for snaring young players on long contracts, and being very difficult if an opportunity came for any of them to move on. Duncan Ferguson, for one, had a major spat with him before he got his move. You may be right about Stein and Fergusson but I only remember McLean being the one attacked for this practice. I'm not sure Beckham and the flying boot, although a very funny incident, relate to his contract. More likely a pish performance that upset demento the red nosed gum chewer.

Mr Brightside Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Interesting in the interview that Hibs converted Doig from centre half to left back. Must have seen something we didn’t and even if we kept him he might not have progressed if we continued to play him at centre half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Quote Bologna have set Aaron Hickey a deadline of Monday to decide whether he's going to join the Italian side, according to a report. The Serie A outfit have offered the Hearts full-back a contract and the promise of a place in their first team squad. Hickey is thought to be weighing up his options having also been targeted by Champions League finalists Bayern Munich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Plenty of time for Hickey to make up his mind. Some mind blowing contracts to consider. Best team in world football probably, looking at him. Got a look at Leo Watson last summer. Could actually be a better left back than Hickey if not a better player. In other words Hickey I think has plenty more strings to his bow than just a left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 If Celtic know he only has eyes for them, their bid will be a penny more than the development fee.

LarrysRightFoot Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 No idea if this is true - last week it was reported he was signing for Bayern - however, if it is he should do the honourable thing and insist on a 30% sell on fee for us in his contract (I’m sure the club will also push for a sell on fee).

OTT Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hickey is going to do whats right for Hickey, but the lad has everything to make it to a high level. Celtic is not a high level. Its shooting fish in a barrel domestically and getting pumped in Europe once you've passed the Icelandic teams. Scott Brown could have been a true Scotland great had he had the bottle to try his luck down South. Hickey needs to go to Bayern or Bologna, so much talent that will be wasted bench warming at Celtic. He needs to hold his nerve and push for the move to Bayern, by 20 if it doesn't work out he could still end up back here or at Celtic. If it does, then he'll be knocking on the door for Robertson's starting place. Lets not forget, we don't have an international right back of any real quality and he is two footed.

Vlad the impaler Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It wouldn’t surprise me if Celtic were talking to him unbeknown to hearts! Convince him to come and then he tells Hearts the only club he’s going to so hearts need to accept any bid....seen it all before. That’s why they kept low balling hibs for McGinn,they were convinced he only wanted to join them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
