DS98 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 2 minutes ago, Batistuta87 said: Apparently Celtic have offered him £2k p/w, down from £12.5k p/w. I'd be surprised if we can even match that right now never mind beat it, but maybe its not all about the money and might be more about his role in the squad i.e. playing time and/or a potential coaching role, or about his personal life (he has a young family so would assume that ideally he won't want to move house or anything like that). But if he's holding out for a better offer from Celtic that would suggest that money is at least something to do with it! It’s less. And it’s more to do with the fact absolutely no one of any stature has contacted him from the club since lockdown. Not Lennon, Lawwell, Woods or Kennedy. The bridges were well and truly burnt before he did that interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 He was my hero before he left for Sunderland. As i also follow Newcastle it broke my heart as a young lad to see him at them. Then for him to join the IRA lovers was gutting too, but end of the day why wouldn't he join them, his medal collection will suggest it was the correct thing to do. I'd happily welcome him back, still had a lot to offer and we seriously need help in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) There must be younger, less risky and cheaper options in the Scottish leagues and beyond.. Gordon is old and injury prone and an unnecessary risk. The fact that our current bunch are no good is not in itself a recommendation. And as for coaching, Craig never seems to have been able to address his own weaknesses with cross balls and distribution. Celtic have treated him badly? Well football is a brutal game but if he has been sensible he will have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life. I wish we had been less generous with many of the contracts we dished out in the last few years. I think Robbie's appointment makes sense. I can't see much of a case for Craig.

Gordon needs to get himself in the sea the Celtic tramp. How do you know what we’ve offered him? Have you seen the contract on offer? If he wanted a final pay day, he could easily get more than what he’s looking at getting from us. Look at it this way, we have a chance to bring home a hearts cup winning hero, and make him part of the fabric moving forward. He can teach young Stones, and potentially could become our GK in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying this since we were linked with him in January. There's no doubting his goalkeeping ability and he is a lot better than Zlamal for instance, but I have serious doubts over his fitness and when you look at the stats on the time he's spent out injured, it's actually ridiculous. So yeah, good keeper, but I think there's better value for money to be had out there and that signing him would be a bit of a risk because of how injury prone he's been throughout his entire career.

My concern is less about whether he's a 'Hearts man' or not and more about his motivation to be a first team player at this point. He could have told Celtic flat out that he didn't want a new contract long ago if he really had ambitions to play in a first team, but instead he's waited so long and seems frustrated that he didn't get a good money contract to sit on their bench.

Welcome back Craig still don’t know what OUR Craig did wrong, or how he acted wrong that upset you so much. He wasn’t a hearts player, absolutely entitled to celebrate in any way he chooses. Paul Hartley definitely celebrated as a celtic player. Kevin Kyle definitely celebrated as a rangers player. He’s a professional footballer whose priority is the team he plays for. So if he felt a refs decision was wrong, he’s got every right to question refs, as he was no longer a hearts player. Is he expected to curb passion and anger in a game of football because a few of his ex teams fans are looking in? Come on man, that’s childish. I agree regarding Celtic though I utterly hate them as a team, sometimes more than Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Rob Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Gordon would/will be a great signing for us. Can’t believe the level of seethe on here because he signed for Celtic and celebrated when they won stuff. He’s a professional. This is expected - otherwise you’ve got the likes of Riordan, too bitter to put your personal feelings aside when you step onto the park. Signing for Celtic when he did was obviously the right move for him, and his record there proves it. I believe he remains a Hearts man. If you think he shouldn’t celebrate winning things for the club that employs him because he supports someone else, then you should be aware that the vast majority of the players who have won trophies with Hearts have loyalties to another club, mostly one of the Gruesome Twosome. Never seemed to stop them from celebrating in maroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second he chose Celtic over us was evidence of that. On his knees praying to the gods when they won the treble is an image burnt into my mind. No hearts man would ever fall to his knees for their glory. The likes of him and Pressley won’t be remembered fondly by those mutants they’ll be almost instantly forgotten as they aren’t “sellic men” but wouldve been loved and idolised here. Not only did they take the terrorist lovers pound they played up to them in front of us and even at our own place after making their names with us. Craig Gordon wouldn’t get near Hearts if I had anything to do with it. Drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be used as sticky under “Why the club will be fan owned and not fan run!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hate to see any of our players joining the Uglies and enjoying success with them Is Craig a Hearts fan? Is he better than what we have? Will he be a positive influence on Harry S? The answer is yes to all We've had lots of players travelling both ways along the M8. God forbid that Dave McPherson didn't celebrate scoring and winning against Rangers and we could list more When they sign for Hearts and they play for us, that's all that matters, and as long as they put in all they have, that's enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo mark Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I wonder where it all went wrong with some of our support. I remember when Neil McCann returned to Tynie with Rangers after moving there, he ran around the pitch applauding the hearts support, and being applauded back.

Laff here one season and done well for us. He pissed me off over celebrating with Rangers but he’s a rangers man. Sort of different imo.
