JJ93 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'd sign him again on a 1 year contract but not pay him too much. Perhaps basic salary with high bonus for goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he’ll reject it. As he wants a huge pay day. Unless he was on £250 per week at Kilmarnock he’s asking for too much. If he was to sign it would only be fair to write into his contract that a portion of his wage garnished to pay back his debt to Budge IF that story is true. And we know his character isn’t the type to go for that either. So he’s not signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not going to Rangers Hibs Celtic or Aberdeen so if he stays in Scotland we’d be up against Motherwell's, Dundee’s and st mirrens. Maybe a league 1-2 clubs down south would take a punt on him but at his age, big paydays are already over unless he gets an offer in from Saudi Arabia or something, in which case he’ll probably not have to pay for a taxi to the airport as plenty will offer to drive him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Do we have better than Lafferty? - No I like him but i'd be pissed off if we take him as we need to go down a different direction than the 'old guard' one - it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing RN has said that I agree with is that Hearts is supposed to be a young club - we already have Gordon, Naismith, Smith and Boyce. Getting more old players is ridiculous.

Sorry to put your argument to bed but Boyce has scored against Rangers, Hibs and Celtic already, the “big boys” as you put it. boyce was also carrying the whole team in games and has racked up a fair amount of assists whilst scoring. Lafferty probably was in single figures for assist his whole career Edited June 7, 2021 by Absolute Scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s worth selling players for 1s and 2s millions. Falkirk knocked us out the cup at Tynecastle the week after Berra was sold. Hibs knocked us out when Osman sow got sold. Beaten by Celtic in a semi and 2 finals after we sold Lafferty. Just let these guys walk for free at the end of deals for all I care. Plan the financial budget with player sales completely taken out of the equation. Anything under £5m is not worth the sale. Just keep the good players here for full length of contract.

Also I wouldn’t mind selling a player for 2M if that 2M was going to be fully invested back into the playing squad but it never is . Would love when the time comes and Souttar goes if it 2M Budge or whoever to come out and say the 2M is going back into the transfer kitty for the manager at the time to spend .

Sid Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 11 games in SPL (last season) 9 goals. I would take Neil Lennon if he gave us that next Season. Not sure how we can think we have scoring power to turn this down. If it’s to do with not repaying Budge, that’s different but, purely on stats, I would take him. Boyce is 14 in 25 last Season. We won the League at a canter. Killie got relegated. What is there to point to Boyce stats improving dramatically and Laff reducing when it’s Boyce who is stepping up a League and Laff (hopefully) moving to a club in same League further up the table. NB assists just 6 Boyce 2 Laff (Boyce more than double appearances). Laff “Big game player” scored all his League goals against “wee teams” last Season. Take all the politics out of it, just seems a player who could get goals for us next Season who has more than proved it this Season - and I want goals!
