I’d agree, but we need to remember this windfall is potentially a one off. In fact it’s definitely a one off unless we repeat it and keep repeating it. No sense in being left with half a dozen players on 3 year deals over £10k a week(that’s what £3million would buy for a year)if we can’t consolidate 3rd. I think we’ll be fairly conservative with the money and just step back and look at how sustainable this sort of level of revenue is.

I agree with every word.  We need to build up based on success on the park rather than a reckless spree.

 

The board will know that better than anyone and I trust them.  I suspect we all do.

Think the business model has changed at hearts as we all know,buy in early 20s develop and sell on for profit which makes sense think it’s best way to grow ajax and dortmund been doing it for 20 years.wasting over a million pounds on a say a three deal for a 28 year old Patterson makes no buisness sense to me .

[5jambo1]

Some great early business. Happy with all signings and feel like there is even better to come! All signings improve our squad but to really kick on we need 4 players who instantly improve our first 11. 
 

On another note I keep seeing people putting Kingsley as a LWB in their teams. Although I think he can play this position, surely if we play 3-4-3, his best position in this set up is LCB? Im not doubting he can play LWB but I think we need someone with a more attacking mindset in this position to get the best out that formation? 4-2-3-1 he plays left back.

Jeez, this place! constant regurgitation of dire topics like ex players ,who show no interest in rejoining us...and wouldn't enhance us..... Nicholson/ Patterson et al. Ffs, we're in a great place , financially, let's move on and discuss potential signings who'll fit in with our upward trajectory.

 

It's unbelievable crap. What's Jamie Walker up to these days? Maybe we could get him back, because he would really move us forward........ 🤔

yeah we need another left back who can play LWB. I think it will be tough getting a LB better than Kingsley but if we play a 3-4-3 then we need a quality LWB to push us on

I loved Cochrane but I think we could find a left back with more of an attacking threat. He was very solid defensively.

I love Paterson and would take him back in a heartbeat, even if his form is on the downhill, but while there's been no announcement everything seems to indicate that the club will pick up his option.

 

Here's verification that they have the option: https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/clarity-over-sheffield-wednesday-attackers-contract-as-international-looks-set-to-stay-3691633

 

(Plenty of other sources, this is just the most direct one)

 

Dr. Funk himself seems very happy to stay (and in the replies, the Wednesday fans seem very happy to have him).

 

 

There was an earlier article I can't find where Paterson made comments about how his family love living in Sheffield and he really feels at home there.

 

Once again, I love him and think he's a minor Hearts legend in his own right but it's about 98% certain he's not coming back next season as he's on 7 figures a year, likes where he is, and his club likes him.

 

Depressing AF that a League 1 club can pay that much more than us by that much but there we are. Hopefully a few European campaigns will change that.

 

This post is useful in a number of ways:

 

a) proves he extended his contract 

b) shows he’s not the same player that left us (don’t mean to be unkind, but he looks like a dad playing a kids game in that photo - and they say vertical stripes are slimming). 
 

if the £20k pw chat is anywhere near accurate, and he’s under contract, we spending £1.5 milly on someone in that sort of physical shape?

 

We remember a right-sided SPL-level Gareth Bale (early spurs era). The guy in that picture is not the athlete we remember. 
 

If we are really honest, Callum was always a better athlete than footballer. He could turn his hand to any position because he was rapid, had a great engine and could leap like a salmon. 
 

it doesn’t look like that’s the case anymore. 

He used to be built like Portuguese Ronaldo. In that photo, he’s half way to Brazilian Ronaldo (these days). 
 

And I loved Callum as a Hearts player.

Good answer.  I would have guessed that CG given his pedigree and status as captain would have been on £10,000 a week but I have no idea.

 

I would say though that in order to push on we will have to be paying more than you suggest to attract the calbre of players we will need.

He was only on about £10k first time around, wasn’t he? On the contrary we knew he would never see out? Just before he got sold for £9m. 
 

Hes absolutely brilliant now, but doubt he’s on the same money as before. (Even if £10k is worth less than before).

CG was on a bumper wage at Hearts id say  it was 15/18k a week before he was sold

Guess that’s possible.

My memory could be playing tricks on me.

 

But IIRC, EPL players were getting <£100k in 2007, weren’t they?

 

i agree he was on a bumper wage - just thought £10k was back then.

 I dont mind Hearts having   a couple of marquee players on more than others in the squad 

 

Obviously good talents, sends a message to other players what can be earned and achieved

 

I also dont think its wreckless, as we improve, so does our personnel  and our icome

 

If we cant sustain 3rd then change will be required ,but right now all is good to attract way better than some of what we have, great stuff

Think Kingsley will move back there with Rowles coming in.  Cochrane would be perfect back up but imagine he wouldn't settle for that.

why is everyone so hell bent on Kingsley playing left back? He’s just got in the leagues team of the season playing centre half. 

[Aussie Jambo]

We still have an abundance of good players here in Australia. I’m pretty sure Savage isn’t finished looking here neither. 

Funny that most of the player we knew about have signed. 

Being honest I’d say CP is definitely not coming to us. 

 

Im just going to wait and see who we get now. So far I’m happy but we still need many more players. Until we’ve got arse cheeks spending ability then Europe must be priority. More money in that than our proxy SPL. Oh & finishing 3rd or better. 

 

Has Simms gone back to Everton?

Because he's naturally a left back?

 

FWIW, I'd keep Kingsley part of my back 3, he's excellent there.

As long as we’re speculating with money we actually have and we’re not spending money we ‘might get if…….’ I’m fine with throwing a few bob about.

 

Were in a very good position here because every other club below us is significantly weaker and they’ve got to  gamble money they probably don’t have to challenge us. 
 

Yes we have to develop and improve by turning the squad over gently, improving on who is leaving or who has failed or who wasn’t really good enough but has a contract .  That’s a different thing to blowing a big wad that doesn’t really achieve much more. The objective is to solidify 3rd for a long period and get this European treasure chest every year for as long as we can. We don’t need to blow the lot to do that. Rainy days etc etc.

They just signed the RB from Central Coast so must have been aware of Rowles as well.

 

We are just the big team so it wasn't even a choice 😂

 

On the plus side. Rowles having a familiar face in the boy from Hibs plus Devlin & Natty here should help him settle quickly
