Firefox Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Be interesting if Souttar signs a new deal with a release clause that allows him to leave if we are offered a certain amount for him, then after he signs gets another serious injury, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility. Then we're once again left with him on the wage bill while he spends another season in the treatment room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 If he doesn’t want to sign and decides he will take his chances down south then fair enough, good luck to him. However if that’s the case then he better hope he can last a season without a major injury as Hearts will be under no obligation to support him when the contract expires (cue Fraser Wishart appearing to spout off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player worldwide is one bad tackle or unlucky stretch away from being injured and out for a while. We’re probably no more unlucky than any other team. I want him to sign but I won’t lose sleep if he decides to leave. Short career for most players so having a chance of at least one 3/4 year crazy contract would be hard to turn down. He’s good at our level. Not so much the next level. Which may be top 8 championship at best right now. The money is the reason he’d leave Hearts. Not to win things in England. Promotion would be all he’d win down there. Not a chance he’ll win a cup. He won’t be at a big enough club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nisbet = Can score a few. None of these players will make them anything like the money we will make from Beni or Cammy. Seems about right. I think folk on here for obvious reasons underrate Boyle. He's obviously a very different player but the situation reminds me of Griffiths, in that I think Boyle is holding that squad together. If he gets injured or sold, they go from a European place to bottom six IMO. Boyle to my eye is strong, fast, has a nose for goal, and brings other players into the attack. Agree with your other ratings. I'd put the over/under on additional straight reds this season for Porteous at 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams tap up players all the time, Souttars agent will be well aware already who wants him and what they are willing to pay him, he (souttar and his agent ) will have been aware of these offers for months now. Hence the reason Souttar has not committed to a deal from Hearts, no chance will he be here next season, my guess is he will be gone for 500k max deal in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame the club on this one, if they offered him a deal while crocked and he never got back fit then the likes of you would be slaughtering them for that too. Club can't win in the Souttar situation, he holds all the cards and it's up to him to do the right thing. He's just trolling and looking to stir shit as he normally does. Best ignored.

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) I'd line Souttar to stay but if he goes, it doesn't matter. We have had better players leave club and we've survived, and we will prosper whether he's here or not. Not blaming agent either if he goes. Souttar big enough to look after himself and make his own decisions. His choice and his alone.

Souttar has a way to go before he gets a look in at what we’d call a big club. Injury prone, slow. Not the finished article by any stretch. No where near good enough for the EPL Certainly going by the last couple of matches I’d say Moore is as good, if not slightly better, at coming out with the ball. He’s played some lovely first time balls too from balls he’s moved onto that’s pinged his way. Looked solid defensively too but obviously we need to see the guy longer term. Soapy does have experience of playing against the old firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chong Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Can't have altered much, having a couple of clubs linked with him. The situation hasn't worsened by news that these clubs are interested. There are far more than two clubs interested in Souttar and a basic knowledge of football would confirm that. Not all players watched by clubs are considered due to form, personality, etc but key with soapy is being his injuries and how his recovery is. The physical demands due to the number of games in the England lower league (any under the premiership) would not be in his own interests in my opinion and he would be best served racking up appearances here before hitting the top flight down there. Problem I foresee is the wages the arse cheeks could offer for the same demands and progress route. I would love to think he wouldn't go there but that extra incentive of (almost guarenteed) trophies and the inevitable immediate international jersey could sway him. If it wasn't for the unbelievable bad luck with injuries he'd not be here now, I'm a big fan of him, he deserves success for his perseverance and commitment and I would love that to be here with us but if he does fly away, as sore as it would be, he would go with my best wishes.

Do you think Savage would let this happen and if it did I’d expect Hearts not to play John for the rest of the time he is at Hearts . I can’t see it myself . Maybe Harry Souttar he was in the Celtic boys club when he was younger . Don’t think you can sign pre contracts before Jan anyway . Celtic done that with GMS signed him on a pre from Dundee United then last day of the window offered Dundee United like 100k to take him in Jan I’m sure Stu Armstrong was in the same position or they signed him for millions.

Doc Rob Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Clubs the size of Hearts are in an impossible situation nowadays. We don’t have money to burn, so if you sign someone on a 3 year plus deal and they turn out to be rubbish (e.g. Martin and Oshaniwa) then it’s a financial disaster. But sign someone on a 2-year deal, and if they’re good then you have to start looking to re-sign them or cash in after about 6 months, because once they’re in their final year nobody will pay you decent money, and the player can just run down their contract, possibly signing a pre-contract with someone else half way through the year. Of course, in Scotland we have the additional problem of Wormtongue-like agents, whose main aim sometimes seems to be to get their client a move to an OF club as cheaply as possible.

Section Q Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Souttar has to get a solid season in before we get any serious cash for him. Even then I imagine the fee would be dependent on how many games he plays for his new team. I think it would suit both parties for him to sign a two year deal extension.
