** Hearts - January Transfer Window 2022 ** Toby Sibbick signs 3.5 year deal

[Naisys Tackle]

Defoe isnt moving anywhere for cash with the money he's got in the bank  he will end up down at Pompy or Charlton and enjoy himself I think.

Not wanting to fart in anyone’s wind path, but why are we taking someone saying Kingsley’s extension will be announced tomorrow as a big deal? Have I missed something? I was expecting the Kingsley extension to be announced today after several media including a national newspaper reported it last night. Proclaiming it will be announced tomorrow when it’s after 7pm today isn’t exactly putting your neck out, is it?

 

I mean, am I wrong? Surely I wasn’t the only one expecting the announcement even today, so tomorrow is just logical by this time at night?

Jesus relax man…..

Chill out buddy, Dazz has a decent ITK strike rate here, on the scale of talking pish to Word of mouth hero he is defo nearer the top end.

Spreading them out until games restart. Contracts were all signed pre-Christmas. Smith next week. 

[jambopilms]

Well I hope we don't get the usual slump in form after players getting a new contract. Players are better when proving their worth. Djoum was a prime culprit 

Last time we did a bunch of new contracts Berra, Haring, Uche, Naismith, Souter all instantly shit or injured.

If it came across that I was frazzled or something, that wasn’t intended. I’m not bothered or anything, I’m just a wee bit perplexed as I assumed it was basically all but announced by this point given the media reporting. I was genuinely checking social media every couple of hours expecting it today is all. So it just seemed weird it seems to be news to some.

Smith? Meh. I was kinda hoping we’d use his contract expiry and age as an excuse to move on. I feel he’s in decline, understandably at his age, ability wise.

He has a clause built into his contract that means if he plays so many games he gets an extension.

I was previously of that view about Smith, but I think that having him on a 1 year contract can be good as he is an experienced international player who can play right back, centre back and centre midfield so he is a useful squad player. 

[AlimOzturk]

We could do worse than offering Defoe a deal until the end of the season tbh. Been a total professional throughout his career. Not sure how fit he is or if he injury free.

Always been a model pro wherever he has played. Supreme conditioned athlete. Someone like him could show a lot of others how it needs to be done in order to get to the top level. He is a player that could make those darting runs in behind defences like we need. Six month deal if we can’t get the wee Japanese guy would work. 
But probably pie in the sky though.

I envy itk posters.  One has described Defoe as a total mercenary.  How does he know that?  He also said we wouldn't be looking at 38 year old cash sponges.

 

Pretty sure Craig Gordon was 37 when he came here and again, I wouldn't know if he is a cash sponge but i doubt it.

 

Defoe has had a long, sucesdful career at a high level and he should be financially secure.  I doubt if money is a motivating factor but I'm not itk.

 

He banged in goals for Rangers and I think he would do the same for us if he wanted to come and we wanted him.

I'm not itk. 

I'm only giving an opinion.

They haven’t always played in a bigger league, only the 40 odd years. Does geography and playing in a league with giants like Utd/Liverpool/Arsenal/City and Chelsea not help you gain global coverage you didn't have before it? 
I don’t think Rangers are that big a club in the grand scheme of things but neither are Spurs. 
You can’t go anywhere without seeing fans of the uglies with their replica tops on, hardly ever see a Spurs top. 
I don’t think there is a way of properly measuring it, but having the luck of playing in a great league certainly helps. Look at Bournemouth spending £20m on players with a smaller fan base than 5 Scottish clubs for instance. 

Clubs like Liverpool, Man U, Real, Barcelona etc are big global clubs, generating supporters from everywhere, Rangers and Celtic are different, you see their supporters all over the world but the generally com from Glasgow or have an association with them, and in real terms way less than the others.  Spurs maybe the next level down from the the big world brands but probably more than the old firm.

They weren’t always like that though, it’s a recent thing, Spurs and the uglies aren’t really a big part of that globally.

Spurs are not and never will be a bigger club than Rangers, dead or alive. 
Liam Miller was a squad player and Gilmour has played about ten games. 
Its extremely rare for anyone to leave the uglies for a huge fee to a bigger club in England and play regularly. 

In your opinion which of course you always present as fact. Do Rangers have a waiting list for season tickets of several years? Have Rangers won 3 European trophies?

Rangers have 15k waiting and would unfortunately probably sell more than the 44k if they could,sold out  6 seasons running, whilst Spurs

If renewals don’t happen there are 40k on the waiting list. So what do you base a clubs size on? Trophies or size of fan base and the club itself’s facilities and the like?

Despite their whole brand image being about Ireland, Celtic haven't even cornered the Irish market let alone found a global audience. Kids in Ireland would rather follow EPL teams, if they even like football at all.

All those fans and they still let their club die, never let them forget. GTF Souttar if he goes to them.
