Shanks Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I would tell them the price is now £2m and it's going up by £100k every hour. If they won't stump up the funds then that's fine we'll just keep him for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Whatever we may think of John Souttar signing his pre contract with Rangers, the theory that he wouldn’t put himself into a situation where he might get hurt should now be laid aside. That was a sore knock he took today and Hearts did the right thing protecting him for Tuesday. As far as Rangers are concerned, they had their chance to pay £600k to get him to enhance their chance of the guaranteed Champions League money. Now our circumstances have changed and we would be stupid to sell for less than £1m and having a replacement available to get in before the windows closes. Rangers may very well lose a lot more money than Hearts by not being able to resist the temptation to be disrespectful to Hearts valuation of John.

Gizmo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We had better have jacked that price up. Rangers are in the sticky stuff - Celtic closing fast, their defense not looking clever at all. Souttar getting an injury today should also focus their minds. I don't care in fairness - I hope they don't move for him and he helps us get 3rd and a cup final.

Cruyff Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We get to keep him and, will be better for it or, we get a good fee that we can re-invest now or in the summer. Win Win imo. Rangers will be weaker if they don't cough up and we don't give a shit. Says a lot to John though, they are quite happy to offer him a contract on a free but didn't want him enough to splash out a million or less to help them win the league. They clearly don't rate him enough and they've thrown him under a bus. John shouldn't have signed with them until the summer or, told them to agree a fee if they wanted him. I'd be tempted to renegade on that deal if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 “Blinded by bitterness” is a line that applies to me. Souttar, you may be a ratty wee ****, but after today I agree you’d still put 100% into our club and I no longer doubt that. 48 hours. If SevCo lose the title they have to think “Did we do everything in our power to retain the title?” If they can’t pay £600k-£1M then that’s small change compared to what they’ll lose in a lost title.

They have probably shelled out a couple million loan fee for that boy from man United, plus whatever contribution for his wages, yet won’t pony up the £600k hearts want for Souttar. Not sure what he can do, but wouldn’t it be nice if John remembered this debacle and turned round to rip up his pre contract - they clearly don’t want him as much as they are making out ….

jambo mark Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think we have our back 3 for next season, but with injuries it will be a while before they get a chance to play together and bed in. Sibbick Halkett Kingsley I’m honest now thinking if they don’t pony up £1m he’s worth more to us keeping to give us continuity at the back. Otherwise we go into the Derby with 3 of Sibbick/Moore/Smith/Kingsley who will have never played together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is contracted to Us, they have control once they pay up or John see's out his contract with Us playing week in and out. He will line up against them, or it will be one of those injured an out moments to suck up for Us. I want John to stay , so we find out if he would play V Them...
