He ****ing spunked millions on shite and arrogantly thought he knew best. Fair enough. It wasn’t as if they got it wrong. The guys the reason we are in this position just now when we should be watching games involving us on the tv and have Europe. A much bigger budget than anyone season after season but shit to show for it. Not disputing that, but there have been other managers who have failed and not had the same criticism. A couple of examples. Lennon not getting Celtic into the Champions League groups and then getting pumped out of the Europa League by a team with nothing like his player budget. Gerrard’s Rangers completely losing the advantage they got from beating Celtic before the winter break, by losing far too many points after the break. That run cost Rangers by allowing the SPFL to gift Celtic the title. No trophy since taking over. Never a peep of doubt or criticism on Sportsound etc about those two. Too scared to.

A 17 year old wth 30 games asking for guaranteed first team football in the Series A? Pull the other one. He's good but is still relatively unproven. Can imagine potential new team-mates reading that... "Play me or I'm off" wouldn't go down too well considering Hickey's age. If true he's being badly advised. He needs to look at Andy Robertson, get his head down and take his chances when they come, not make demands before he's even signed. Can’t believe this at all. A 17 year old demanding game time in Serie A. I’d be shaking his hand and showing him the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of seeking written assurances of game time? It’s the “free to find another club” bit that I’d be questioning. 🤔 Out of interest, can anyone tell me if this loan deal with £1.8m fee, means Celtic don’t get their 30% of the fee? It’s been debated on here a bit and I don’t think I’ve seen anything that looked particularly concrete either way. If it is the case, then my hatred for Celtic makes me paranoid and wonder if they are speaking to his dad. Are there any actual quotes in this article? It would be extraordinary for a boy so young and inexperienced to be demanding this. Like you I am a bit paranoid here, but wouldn't put it past Selick to try to scupper any deals to then step in.

HMFC01 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I do not see any problem or any kind of arrogance for a 17 year old asking for assurances of first team football after getting promised such. Get it on the contract, sign it, deal done. If you're getting offers from bigger clubs you are entitled to be fussy about signing a contract for a club unlikely to win trophies or qualify for Europe. It's a big league with a lot of competition for success. It's still a move that could make him, only if he's getting game time. I think this could go on until near the end of this month. If we do sell him and get a sizeable transfer, we might be able to buy a player if they really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern are a fantastic set up and appear to have offered a great oppourtunity, he will play third tier German football but will train with the first team at times. But Bologna saying he will be a first team player, so 2nd choice left back in a top 5 European league is a big offer. But clubs can be often all talk and will say things just to get a player to sign so he could sign for Bologna and find that he is shipped out on loan (they have 22 players out on loan.) So a written agreement shows how serious they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sign them on first team wages and to be assigned a squad number but that still won't guarantee you game time. I assume that's the different between the Bologna and Bayern offers (assuming it's true) - he'll get a first team squad number and dressing room spot at Bologna but he'll have to earn it at Bayern. Either way, it would be in his hands. Play well enough and with any luck he'll be a first team player at either club. At 17 though, it should really be about continuing to develop for him.

Spellczech Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I cannot for one second think that Hickey would consider returning to Celtic knowing that he was unhappy there last time round - Even reserves at Man City , Bayern or wherever would be more attractive option... Personally I believe he would be a fool to move anywhere, as he will not be guaranteed first team football ANYWHERE except Hearts. He's 17 FFS, be patient and hold firm. Go to a big team for multi-millions not a 1-year pay off. Whoever is advising him is doing is doing a terrible job of it.

Keeps him happy playing in the Prem for a season, gets him another years experience in the league, and we'll have him back for when we go back up. We shouldn't miss him that much in the Championship and could quite easily sort out a loan of our own to cover for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year at Hearts in the SPL would have been good for him. However, the kids too good to be playing in the Championship against cloggers when he's already proven himself against the likes of the OF in the SPL at 16/17. He needs to move up a level now and we need to sell him this summer. I think he'd be extremely naive to turn down the chance to be coached at Bayern Munich. They aren't paying us a million odd to swell the ranks of their 2nd team, they can have their pick of any player in the world, yet they want him. That alone should tell him something.

One of the CB's needs to be a full back to play it effectively imo. Smith is ideal to play on the right. I sort of thought he might be looking at playing a back 3 because he is interested in signing Kingsley who would be ideal on the left of a back 3, as would Murray Wallace. If Smith is to be RCB of a three then I would suggest cover is then needed for RWB. Brandon on his is own (just recovered from injury himself) will not be enough. Unless he’s looking to convert someone like Moore into that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a question of IF he’s going, we know he is, so let’s just get it done. Personally I would like to see him move to Bayern as they really do invest in their youngsters. However at the same time if he doesn’t make the grade he may just leave for nothing at the end of his contract and move to a decent side but we get nothing in a sell on. Bologna might give him more first team exposure but not only is the moving on for nothing still a possibility Italian teams also have that weird co-ownership thing meaning any sell on could become extremely convoluted if he were to go down that route. But to be honest, l just want Neilson to have cash to spend on who he wants in rather than hold onto someone longer who has no intention of being here come the start of the season.
