Why not? I think we paid 200,000 Euros for McEneff.

I think we didn't pay that, I for one would be surprised if we pay more than 100k for anyone, which is why we no doubt lost out on Mackay and that's a development player.

Heard we’re in for a striker who only missed out on the Balon’dor because of COVID rules.

 

no not really, but feel free to use this as a prompt for whatever biased rhetoric you may have

There could be interest in them from others. That's why we need to get in first. Someone said Goodwin would've been looking at around £300k for McGrath, that's £200k in the bank plus a player they want coming in. Saves them looking for a  potentially risky freebie as well and they can ask for the other £100k in any future transfer fee.

if saints are wanting popescu then we could always offer his wages for free but by taking it off the transfer fee for mcgrath. They won’t pay a fee for popescu as know we want shot of him

Neilson was a long admirer of Frear so that says more about his abilities to spot a player than it does our budget and that’s extremely worrying.

I think that's a bit unfair, I thought Frear looked great at Motherwell, I'm sure I wasn't the only one

Some of your previous posts suggest you might be ITK ..... maybe... maybe not.   

 

Anyway, is this £100k ceiling an actual policy ?    Were we actually in for the ICT lad Mackay ?   If so, did it really come down to Hibs being willing & able  to pay more than Hearts ?

 

Fans are donating well over £100k every MONTH ..... so I don't understand why we would impose a limit like that on ourselves.   

 

Maybe we're saving up to splash big money on another target when the window opens ?

Fair comment.  On the flip side, we also have signed the likes Kingsley, Gordon, McEneff and GMS. They aren’t bargain basement. And that’s while in the championship. Knowing what division we will be in next season, particularly given it will be the top flight will help attract players. As will actually knowing when the season will start. Recruitment for as long as I can remember has been largely terrible. I hope we shop a bit more ‘up market’ this summer and the likes of Joe Savage earns his crust 🤞🏼

I find it really hard to talk about new signings when there's next to no chance of us signing any of them. 

Do you really think Rob the apprentice Neilson pays any attention to this?

He's just given Livi's 3rd choice keeper a new deal ffs.

Never in for the boy mackay. We have had our eye on a player from ICT and its not him. The boy Mackay isn't the player he is built up to be. Doubt he will play at a higher level than hibs tbh.

Genuinely don't remember him at Well, Ainsworth I remember and he always impressed me. 

 

From the looks of things Frear replaced Ainsworth and he knocked back an extension from Motherwell, so obviously was doing decent enough for them.

Same level we signed Boyce, Kingsley and probably a few others from over the years. Players come from that level. Take dele Alli as an example from that league to premier

We must go all out to sign Campbell from Motherwell that would be a big statement of our intent

I really don’t know, I’ve saw it on social media and folk are talking and relegation clauses, homesickness etc.
 

He’s exactly who I want in the team, a player that plays with heart and determination. But it would be good to know if it’s fanciful nonsense or actually has legs to it. 
 

Fingers crossed though, I’d be tempted to give him captaincy (or vice captaincy after Gordon)

I think Alan Campbell is a bit far fetched. We’d never be able to match the money that will be offered to him in England. 
 

Love to be proven wrong, but that lad is hot property.

yeah 100% . If I could sign anyone it would be CP. 

[Leveins Battalion]

If we are genuinely after guys like 

 

Roberto Nditi

Kwaado Baah

Carlos Mendew Gomes

Ricardo Santos 

 

 

I would be delighted as would signal a shift for me in signing past their best has beens on huge wages and getting the age of our squad down.

 

[DH1986]

Where would we play CP ?
 

He’s become a bit of a Jack of all trades....master of none type player imo. He looked like he was playing just behind the strikers for SW yesterday.....I don’t think that’s his best position. 

 

His attitude and enthusiasm would be a welcome addition to our squad....no doubt about it.

Michael Smith is done in that position although our manager doesn’t seem to be able to see it.

I know when he went down south, it was said he certainly isn't a right back.... I think it was Neil Warnock who came out and said that. 

 

If he did come back up, I'd like to see him play the rwb role like Logan did in the last few games, maybe cut inside like what he used to do for us.

Everytime he tried to beat a man yesterday he came off second best, goal aside I thought he had a very poor game

I said he was an L2 player I’d like to see at Hearts but unaware if anyone else has mentioned him.

I did notice that. That's why I don't think that playing central suits him. I know it was years ago when he played right back for us, but in the spl he didn't have a problem bombing up the line and chipping in with goals. 

 

I think after his experience in the championship and in the premier league he would stroll the spl... I doubt he would come back to us unless he is very homesick.

Sure I seen it elsewhere,it’s a market I expect us to be in.

 

the guy is a unit.

 

 

Young hungry players is the way forward,the last 5 years has proven signing big names has got us nowhere.

Well let’s hope my random prediction has been backed up by somebody who knows what they’re talking about. 
 

He’s a great player and I for one believe he could step up and thrive in SPL.
