Bazzas right boot Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 One thing that helped Souttar make his mind up and join Hearts was his relationship with CL. Iirc he mentioned this and CL knows his dad. With CL gone there is maybe less emotion involved in his next contract decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The going rate for decent Celtic players who had a few years Champs league experience was £10m to £15m. I can’t see any Rangers player going for more than 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some made up pish story in a foreign country (can’t remember where) about him going for £20m in January iirc. But that’s what it was - made up pish! Mind when they were going to get £6m for Barrie McKay when they were in the Championship? And £20m for Morelos or whatever it was. These Rangers transfer rumours are pure fiction.

In a sport where every individual is expected to give 100% for the team I can't help thinking that big differences in take home pay must have an adverse effect on some players. Any time you hear a pro or ex pro talk about this sort of thing it appears the norm is that it's simply never discussed, an unwritten rule type thing. You get what you get and you get your head down. if someone gets more, well done them, type thing. There'll be exceptions where there have been guys getting greeneyed over colleagues' reported wages, but do think it's the exception. You get more money by doing well and earning it.

TheBigO Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) On 09/11/2021 at 10:43, Saint Jambo said: It is funny how the mind plays tricks on us. Riordan went to Celtic for £170k after refusing to sign a contract extension at Hibs. Hibs then bought him back from Celtic for £400k. Far from getting decent money for him, they actually made a loss across the two transfers. He then left to China on a free after again refusing a contract extension with Hibs. Including the Riordan move to Celtic also requires going all the way back to 2006. If you include that timescale, then there are examples of Hearts getting players to sign new contracts and then getting good money for them. Most notably, in 2007 we sold Gordon for an initial £7m after he signed a new contract. So maybe it is Hearts rather than Hibs who should be given credit. As for Doig, Porteous, Nisbet and Boyle, I think you will find there are very mixed views among fans around whether they made a mistake by not taking what they could when they could. Also Nisbet and Porteous signed fairly lengthy contracts initially when Hibs gambled on them, but they haven't so far been persuaded to sign new contracts after they have been on good form for Hibs and been surrounded by transfer speculation. Whether Hibs really have judged things so well on these players will only really become apparent if they go on to make big money on them. The position with Nisbet and Porteous isn't so different to Souttar who Hearts signed on a three and a half year deal, then signed a 2 year extension. It really is just a case of bad luck for Hearts that his injuries have meant that he is only really demonstrating his ability on a consistent basis just as he comes to the end of his contract. We could maybe have persuaded him to sign a new contract whilst injured last year, but given he says that even he wasn't sure he would ever play again, let alone the level he would be able to play at, that would have been seen as madness. Can't really see Souttar getting into the Scotland squad as anything other than good news. Likely to keep him motivated. Can't see it making him any less likely to sign an extension. Will up his value marginally if we decide to cash in come January (although with 3rd guaranteeing group stage football next year, taking a few hundred thousand in January feels like a false economy).. Good post mate. The McGinn money and that wee spate where they sold off their 2006 superstars (who came 4th and won eff all and they never recovered from, eventually resulted in relegation!) papers over a few cracks in the theory. They're no different to anyone else really. Motherwell and others have done well selling players too, as have we. Hibs just bang on about it, from the club so they can perpetuate the myth and continue to try to punt average players, and from the fans cos they need something, anything to grasp on to - so they develop world class players and sell them apparently. As for Souttar, you are totally right, nowt could really be done. Really bad timing contractually with his injuries and return. I'm just chuffed for us and Soapy that he's back and looking good. It'll play out how it plays out. Just hope he goes overseas or down south (to a decent club) rather than West (if he goes - obv I'd rather he stayed - FOREVER!)

Chong Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 On 09/11/2021 at 11:16, Absolute Scenes said: on topic of Porteous, he was spotted in the Woodburn social club over the weekend Considering his team was decimated by Covid, you;d think there would be common sense around where and when he should be mixing with people, regardless of his vaccine status. It had been less than 10 days since the outbreak occurred so hadnt passed the minimal isolation phase. Pedantic i know, but what a weapon of a boy. Think Covid is one of the better things to catch up the Woodburn. Heady days though for him. Expensive tastes. Mibby just went for the bingo......you can't hide class eh.

McTominay played right centre back a few times, I think the most recent might have been away to Denmark. He’s hopeless there as he can’t defend, not his fault though, he’s not a defender. I suspect that had McTominay been available he might have played there again so it makes sense to play Soutar there now as he plays that exact same position every week. However, as Soutar wasn’t in the initial squad, he is presumably last choice CB so he probably won’t play. Not sure who is left but if all fit I’d imagine it would be Tierney LCB, Hendry RCB and either McKenna or Cooper in the middle if they’re in the squad.
