Irvine is exactly what we need in midfield. Can't imagine how we'd be able to afford him (or Kingsley) though. We only got Gordon because of the Hearts connection. Sorry but who’s Irvine?

Technically could happen to us later down the line as you say but I wouldn't expect a relatively well off Italian team to have any incentive to screw a wee Scottish team out of their cut. If a loan fee is effectively being paid instead of a transfer fee to avoid paying a sell on clause I would say it is sneaky and something we may fall foul of in the future. Sell on fees in general will effectively become worthless in the future. Edited August 10, 2020 by LarrysRightFoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron will be at the end of his current Hearts contract when the loan ends so Bologna will be free to sign him and probably only have to pay a nominal development fee (not sure how it works internationally). We pocket the 2M as a fee for them loaning him for the year and wouldn't have to give any of that to Celtic since it's not a transfer fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shite, but yes, I think Bednar did too IIRC except he completed the move to West Brom. Rudi initially joined us on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season, which we took up then immediately sold him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianajones Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 As much as it would be hilarious to do Celtic out of money, we should not exploit this unless it's been exploited successfully before.

alanbauld Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) We should be in a very good position to sign ambitious young players who would have (at least) a year in the championship to settle in before hitting the SPL. Far better to sign quality young players who we are going to keep than average 'journeymen' just to get us up (maybe) and get rid of afterwards. Any young player with ambition should be able to see the advantage of signing for Hearts. Edited August 10, 2020 by alanbauld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll not be specifically signing players, but he will give Robbie his opinion, which Robbie can then act on or not. This was said at the time of JJ returning, and it was emphasised that Robbie makes the decision on players to come in or go out. My comment was due to guys going on about our recent signing policy, as though it won't change now the Levein has left Hearts.
