Celtic offered him a contract? Given we never accepted a bid thats tapping up 

 

I think he's been given freedom to explore all his options but interested clubs still had to match Hearts valuation.

on a side note, another young Scottish player signed for a club in Europe today. Jordan Holsgrove, moved from Reading to Celta Vigo. He had played last season in the third tier of Spanish football on loan and from Spanish reports did really well. He joins Celta Vigo and will start off in their B team, also in the third tier, but saw a Spanish reporter who covers Celta Vigo say that he will have time training with first team and has the ability to make the step up. Good luck to him and hope he does well.

They reached an incredible and despicable low for me with the hanging of the effigies.  If anyone hasn't seen it, Google it.

 

Every single one of them is guilty by association.

 

Scum.

Now I could be perfectly wrong, as to be known from time to title but I believe the poster meant the poster in snotters about to hang the gang for taking shear saying his dad was doing us over and they are both Celtic minded ***** etc.  There is no reason to believe the poster quoted doesn’t hate Celtic as much as me and you with your deliciously quoted post.  Back to sleep for an hour for me.  Kiwi stop kicking about like Alan Partridge please x

didn’t read like that in isolation - but if If that is the case, and I’ve missed the context, I apologise ! 
 

but my sentiment remains for any other on here who may harbour Celtic leanings, anyone defending Celtic in any shape or form cannot be definition call themselves a hearts fan.

People have ‘soft spots’ for different clubs from the one they support for various reasons such as family, where they live, where they were born etc..  Luckily I’ve never had that challenge for any other club in Scotland. 
 

Hating is different from not having a soft spot as well. Regardless of the totally selfish actions of lots of Clubs during the covid debacle I doubt I actually hate any. I’ve certainly lost a lot of respect for many.

That’s the politest post I have ever read when describing a hearts fan with a soft spot for Celtic well done. 👏👏👏

 

My description of said individual would result in a ban 😂

If there's a better description of shellick, I look forward to hearing it. A putrid and vile club, of the highest order who's fans (majority at least) would be locked up if their antics took place outside 'paradise'.

How are or were Celtic able to offer him a contract before agreeing a transfer fee with Hearts.

 

Despite tapping up rules it's more common than not for a player to have at the very least indicated a willingness to move before any club actually bids for a player and a player's not going to indicate that unless the broad strokes of the contract on offer is divulged (usually by a third party).

 

I'd be amazed if we hadn't for example used a third party to speak with Boyce about his wage demands before we tabled a bid with Burton.

 

I remember Danny Murphy saying on talksport that he held contract talks with every club that ever bought him prior to bids being made, said clubs didn't want to make a bid on players that would then turn them down.

There's no such thing as a Hearts fan with  soft spot for Celtic. 

Unfortunately there are some Hearts fans on here with a soft spot for The Rangers. 

Myself ? I dislike both ugly sisters equally although I hesitate to use the hate word.

My late Hibs supporting father would have been proud of that statement. No matter how hard I have tried over the years, I have never managed to reach the hatred level he had for Celtic and Rangers.

A tad odd nothing has been announced yet. Could you imagine he fails a medical or the plug gets pulled or something at the last minute? A sheepish look at those photos with the Italian flag...

 

Obviously hope that’s not the case and can only assume that the delay in any announcement is solely down to making the blood boil of every Hearts supporter wanting this saga done and dusted to move on.

It's the most protracted transfer I can recall

There was space for one more on that piece of wood too should Bologna be so inclined.

Hickey's transfer is like hibs going bankrupt.  We know it's going to happen but it's taking a really long time.

Doug Hibs are not going bankrupt may look that way over in NZ but nope, they are still looking to sign players.

Some background including how Aaron came to join Hearts first time.

 

 

 

Gerry Ronald seems like a good guy. Might be worth us trying to get him more closely involved in the youth set up?

Not wrong, if we want to focus on youth development bringing in the best we can get our hands on seems a good idea. 

 

Reading that article he just comes across as a guy who loves coaching kids and seeing them develop. Certainly worth looking into.

Had pesto with his pasta which has sown fresh doubts in his head. Allegedly.

Given that the thread title hasn't changed I surmise that Aaron is still here.

Any chance he'll hang around for the semi?

Did you miss the pictures of him flying out and then arriving in Italy?

From what i read, he's in the right place coaching in his local area. The Hearts scouting system maybe need to add GDC to the list of actively monitored teams. 

 

Quite often it's games against non academy sides where the rough diamonds are found.

Who else thinks Hickey will just show up to Riccarton as if the flight and photographs never happened? Like George Costanza showing up back at work as if he hadn’t quit...

Good chance. There was an open door in one of the "airport" photos and I'm sure I caught a glimpse of a moonscape and a an american flag.

This was laboriously tedious months ago and now it’s just outright annoying. Announce the signing already. How can we accept a bid, have the boy fly over there and not have a deal done. He will have known what their offer was weeks ago so what’s the god damn hold up?

The boys been out there for 4/5 days now.  Surely to Christ the medical has been done and the finer points of the agreement between them, him and Hearts have been cleared up?!?!?  If not, what was the point in the fanfare farewell last week.

 

This needs confirmed or declined (by Hickey) up now so we can move one.  If not then someone is just taking the piss.

Did wonder about if he'd need to quarantine on arrival in Italy.

No quarantine requirements for Brits arriving in Italy. It’s all looking a bit iffy, either medical taking a long time to clear or a dose of homesickness. Who knows?
