I was suprised too but it's a guy that coaches and knows him, or says he does. 

He's not a bull shittwr in general. 

 

If that's the case tho then surley if we pay out top players around that we can fiend off some teams. 

Wouldn't be against Souttar earning around this sum, it would only be for 8 or 9 months anyway

I think people are rating Souttar far higher than he actually is tbh. Outstanding for us but no more than higher Championship down south.

Definitely 

[Pasquale for King]

I think everyone including the player is waiting to see how many games he actually manages to play, I would wager he’s not played 20 games consecutively for us. 
It would be a gamble for the club or the player to sign a contract at the minute, January onwards if he plays until then might be the time it all gets sorted one way or the other.

Think he will be disappointed if this is the extent of interest

Question is… why do none of our youngsters or better players sign extend contracts.

 

Hibs seem to get their youngsters/saleable assets like Doig, Boyle, Nisbet etc to sign extended deals to protect and reward the club. 
 

Our players seem to run down contracts 

Hearts players are more intelligent than Hibs players?

 

They don’t believe any agent or club overhype about their value unlike the lemmings jumping over the cliff at Hibs….

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a player moving from Hearts to Hibs increases the average intelligence quotient of both clubs.

GTF can mean getting feck all for a player wishing to move on.

We have to be realistic.

I really hope we can persuade him on a further 2 year deal, knowing he will leave halfway through.

He has ambitions, Hearts ambitions may not be enough for him.

Fine...£4.5 million + 23.5% sell on.

 

Take it or leave it.

You might hope that Soapy would recognise the fact that the club have stood by him through a number of long-term injuries and sign a contract that lets us get a decent transfer fee. But that just isn’t how things are these days. His agent will tell him he’ll get a more lucrative contract and signing-on fee by sitting tight and seeing out his contract, and that’s what I expect to happen. It’s annoying, but it’s modern football.

 

What is frustrating is that Hibs (as others have said) seem to be more successful at getting their players to sign in similar situations, but I guess that’s life. Almost all of our ex-players speak about the club with genuine fondness, whereas Sauzee (to give one example) does not.

[Naisys Tackle]

If he signs a deal the same people that would say he won’t be missed will say he’s now worth £5m.

 

Souttar will see his wee brother is now progressing more in his career and will probably want a bit of that pie tbh. 
 

He does owe us though I feel with giving him his new deal when injured. 

[InternationalJambo]

Remember the overreaction when Irving left? Different calibre of player granted but have faith in those making the decisions. 

[Rick Sanchez]

He'll see us right by insisting a near useless 10% is added like Paterson did. He'll get a few 'that a boy' type comments and PHM chat but in all honesty, it'll be 5 figures or nothing.

I keep hearing that Hibs are great at protecting their ‘assets’ however surely this is only admirable if there is an end game and they actually make any money?

 

I can only think of J McGinn in recent memory and even then they got sweeties. 
 

Porteous, Boyle, Doig or Nisbet are only worth what teams are prepared to pay for them. Which as of this summer is collectively £0.

They’ve 20% on McGinns next sale.  Sold Cumdug for over a mill too.

Souttar’s advertised “choices”’are shite. Stoke, Blackburn or Rangers. Bigger wages but no ambition. 
 

I might be biased but he would be better signing another year and seeing what sort of move some games in Europe would get him and a longer period in-injured. He’d be in the SPL next

January IMO

 

His current apparent options are cul-de-sacs

I’d like to back JtJambo arse up here, re the massive fan base ? I’ve met one in my life and heard Robbie Williams may support them or the other nondescripts nearby, the other team you mentioned? Ffs The cash went , the fans went ,boohoo

Again, that’s something that may or may not happen. It’s not real. And Cummings went for far less that £1m iirc.

[wattie exploited]

no danger will he be leaving he will sign a new contract as we have paid his wages for the last 2 years with him out he will do the decent thing and sign a 3 year deal with an option to leave if we get a certain amount to let him go  so its a win win for both club and John 

we are building a team we dont want to dismantle this team

All we did was honour his contract - should we have sacked him for getting injured?

Edited October 10, 2021 by Tom Hardy’s Dug

[Jambo92]

Hes already missed a quarter of this season with injuries, I'm happy for him to stay and play when fit for us but we seriously need to be searching for more reliable replacement whether he stays or goes.  I think he would be mad to not sign a new deal, any club giving him a fatter wage will have it riddled with clauses tied to his fitness, id imagine Hearts wouldn't so simply gives him that security as he starts to try and prove his fitness.

[Pans Jambo]

Brilliant player on his game. Was a real shame about his injuries, but he wouldnt be at the club now had he not been injured. He would have been sold by now. 
Hes not bigger than the club. Every player leaves eventually. I just hope its not to Glasgow & we get a fee for him.

I believe the club are quite far down the line with JS on a new contract but let’s all get our knickers in a twist over a newspaper article who need to print stuff as it’s international fixtures this week.

That rag is blatantly pro Rangers but I wouldn't expect a Rangers sympathiser like yourself to acknowledge or admit that.

Ideally I'd like to see him sign a two year extension at a decent wage. I think we can easily meet his demands. I'd be surprised if he did the prima donna on us.

The fact he's not signed yet is probably the the best indication that he's not signing an extension. 

 

Hopefully that changes but it doesn't look good. 

 

 

[Longbaws]

I'm playing the guessing game too.

 

He signs a 2 year extension.

 

Then stands out in next season's Champions League group stages and goes for about 25 mil 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

 

Rantic both say he is going to them then Savage outs them for bidding £200k.

His current apparent options are cul-de-sacs

Stoke and Blackburn are both pushing hard for promotion to the EPL, Stoke in a playoff spot just now and Blackburn just below them. Rangers are Scottish champions, league leaders just now, and if they stay there they're either straight into the champions league group stage next season or have a guaranteed europa league group stage fallback (can't remember which)! 

 

To say there's no ambition in any of those options is just nonsense. 

[TexasAndy]

With his injury history you would think he would want a period of settling back in.  Playing well for Hearts would also get him back in Scotland squad.  I do wonder however if he is desperate for move that will boost his bank balance in case he fears another injury.  

[scottg71]

There is no way his new agent, Jackie McNamara, is advising him to sign an extension with us. I'd be surprised if he goes in January either. He'll get a lot more as a free agent.

I was also told he won't play for us again unless we have injuries. I suppose we'll see if that's true come Saturday.

Also, for a club that had virtually zero significant leaks re transfers in the summer, lots of people suddenly appear to be getting "told" things 🤔
