It’s a bit concerning the amount of young Hearts players who break through with us and then decide to bugger off elsewhere before we see the best of them, and without getting us a decent fee. You start to wonder what the ****ing point is. Edited October 11, 2020 by Beast Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s every right to keep his options open, but if the family are big Jambos, If Hearts want him to be a regular first team player and offer him a decent contract then I would hope he’ll sign. Just guessing on my part but it will probably come down to how the coaching staff rate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team is asking about his availability and they can’t afford to compensate us for his signature, then they can’t be at a very decent level. If a club rates him highly enough to try and get his signature, then they should pay us for it. Andy could make sure this happens by signing an extension at the club he supports, and wait for the right move at the right time and price. Not really too much to ask of a player that made his professional debut at his boyhood heroes tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned another club just that he has apparently rejected a new contract. Any club that signs hm in Scotland would have to pay a development fee. Hopefully he will sign a new deal and continue to improve and make some money for the club in a few years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunstanejambo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 This place does make me laugh at times. Only kickback could turn a good news story about a young player living the dream (playing for his boyhood club /getting a call up to the national U21 squad) into a conspiracy about him leaving on a free. Will he leave Hearts at some point in the future? Probably, but let's hope that's not for a few years yet. I'm pretty sure at this point in time he'll want nothing more than to play regularly and get promoted so that he can play for us in the top division once again. Good luck to him with the 21s, and looking forward to having him back in the middle of the park for us afterwards. We certainly need someone with his passing ability after yesterday's display.

Doc Rob Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 We do seem to have a bit of an issue with contracts. Whenever we have a player who makes a big impression or is rated highly, they always seem to be imminently out of contract. By the same token, all our underperforming players seem to be signed up for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not vilify the player yet. To be fair, the fact that last year we managed to persuade Harry Stone to sign a contract when he had great offers from bigger teams, and now Callum Flatman has signed for us instead of going down south suggests we are doing some things right with regards to youth contracts. I would want to see our best young players getting a few year contract but it is not easy in a market which some clubs can just throw money at young players which to us is too much but to those clubs is pocket change. It can also be a risk giving a young player who has broken through and looks promising a long contract. They could not reach the level of the first few games and mean we are left holding a player. Or it could be like Hickey, we sign a player at 16 who is using us as a springboard to get first team football then move on, so we can only offer a maximum of 3 years at 16 and the player is not interested in signing past that. I do hope Irving signs a new contract, though if he does I think we will only have for no more than just over a year and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
