I hope it goes through. It would be a great move for him. He would have a better chance of breaking through at Bologna than Bayern. It is also a beautiful city similar in size to Edinburgh and a huge University town and if he has the inclination somewhere he can grow in many ways beyond football.

Kiwidoug Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Is this guy still here? Is he never going to leave. My mum used to have a friend who would say when visiting "Ach well, it's time I was away then" and would actually leave about 2 hours later. Think her surname might have been Hickey.

HMFC01 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Sky Sports said it will be done in next 24 hours. I noticed Bologna were conducting another medical today for De Silvestri who is another full back. They might want to announce them both at the same time.

HMFC01 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Couple of quotes from an 🇮🇹 newspage. Just to add to the hysteria 😕. 1. Hickey, the offer is there - «He too plays in an important club, despite the recent relegation to the second series, he has attracted the interest of various clubs and Hearts are looking around. We presented our offer and we keep the contacts alive, let's see… ». 2. Hickey hesitates, Bologna looks for an alternative to the Scottish full-back. Assault of Reggina on Falcinelli. Bit confusing, hopefully just mistranslated. I am still sticking with skysports update. 🙏 Links from same page. https://www.zerocinquantuno.it/rubriche/rassegna-stampa/rassegna-stampa-01-09-2020/ https://www.zerocinquantuno.it/notizie/news/di-vaio-faremo-il-massimo-per-rinforzarci-fondamentale-ma-non-facile-sfoltire-la-rosa-per-supryaga-e-hickey-i-contatti-procedono/ Edited September 1, 2020 by HMFC01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're quite right, nobody has actually ever said he's definitely going, but I'm just reading between the lines on a Robbie interview from yesterday. To me it sounded like it's pretty much accepted that he'll be leaving but we're just waiting on the teams themselves sorting out the details.

The season hasn’t even started yet Plus any transfer has to be agreed by Hearts and the other team and personal terms with Hickey and we have only paper rumours about how this is going ”Dad Dad I need to sign right now because some boy on Kickback isn’t happy” 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth to Paisley Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Debut at the Giuseppe Meazza....Nice. Although its likely the sporting director is signing him but the Bologna manager (Siniša Mihajlović) has just been diagnosed with Covid. Siniša is in a high risk category having just 'recovered' from leukemia. Things just take time on the peninsula!

Anything2 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 If Bologna is the decision then that probably tells you that he is prioritising the opportunity of first team football over the prestige of being associated with Bayern. There's not a clear correct decision either way but assuming that we can negotiate a sell on % then this is potentially better for the club if his move works out like Andy Robertson and he moves from Bologna to a Champions League team soon as they are far better positioned to negotiate a big fee than we are.

No one can guarantee game time, no one. I'm sure he's well aware of that. I think he's right to seek assurances of how they plan to develop him. He has decent options so no point in going to team and being chucked in a youth team for years. If for example they've said he'll start the season as second choice LB that would be far better than the position Gauld when in when he moved to Portugal.

Correct, at 17/18 years of age, very few players move upwards to somewhere where they will be first choice, being included in the first team squad at least means he only has to perform better than the current custodian of his starting spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
