***Other Clubs Summer Transfer Window 2022 ( Merged ) ***

[Bongo 1874]

Paterson, Souttar, Walker, Nicholson, Hickey, in total over £1.5mil in fees.

 

All under Leveins and Neilsons reign. 

 

Hibs Doig and Boyle £4.5mil in fees 

 

Been taking for mugs. 

 

Aberdeen Mckenna, Ferguson, Ramsay, over £10 mil in fees. 

 

Rangers, Celtic at the top for fees. 

 

Embarrassment. 

[Homme]

Bassey and Ajax just seem a perfect fit. He will do great there and we will see him in the EPL in a couple of years for double what they have just paid

Neilson is not involved in negotiations of contracts and selling players. So very telling you are using that as a means to attack him.

Nope Neilson doesn't have a say or anything, have a early night mate.

[PTBCAL]

Been saying this for years… why do our better players leave for nothing or refuse to sign deals to at least guarantee some kind of figure when they move on 

 

Hibs do this pretty much always…. with the current exception of Porteous who I hear is desperate to leave ASAP

£12m potential to 18m depending add on is an incredible piece of business for a player that only had a good 2nd half of the season.

 

New manager put him in team. Earned his wages on that deal alone.

Walker and Nicholson had very little value in the end. Souttar may yet have no sell on value. Hickey we got money for, the full amount to be determined. Paterson was the disappointing one but again has ended up being worth little by the age of 27 ...

Mad - aye

 

Valid - not sure

 

We've known the legacy Levein has left us so those fees are nothing to do with Neilson. If anything, I hope in the next few years we see good profit made on players we have signed recently. We have more sellable assets now than Hibs and Aberdeen IMO (Kingsley, Devlin, Benni, Atkinson etc) so in the next couple of years we should see some money coming to club. 

 

Also, Bassey for £27 million is madness in comparison to what clubs outside the Old Firm make. Yet for some reason if we don't catch up with the Old Frim the knives will be out for Neilson. 

[Homme]

Thinking Nicholson would leave for any significant fee is madness in itself.

Its £18m guaranteed which with approx £4.25m in add ons, when you convert euros to pounds on tweet below (the guy is very reliable) plus a 10% sell on is fantastic business for someone they got for free 2 years ago and as you say only really kicked on in the second half of the season.  With the add ons it would be 2nd biggest ever fee received by a Scottish club.

 

 

They never got him for free but.

In that time we've had admin, relegated, demoted and had a few bad managers. Give us 2-3 years consistency in top 4 I'm 100 percent sure we'll start doing the same.

Agreed, it is going to be a huge challenge for us to maintain good league form whilst competing in tough euro games with travelling, heat etc etc. We will also be seen as the team to beat for 3 rd and will therefore come up against teams fired up and ready. No surprise element as there was at the start of last season.

A sensible post.

 

The key for the future is replacing the players we sell on. Due to FOH money we can do that. 
 

Hibs have not replaced Boyle 

Aberdeen let’s see if they can replace Ramsay and Ferguson.

Souttar was at the end of his contract, so was Patterson I'm pretty, sure so there's nothing we could do about that. Did we get a fee for Nicholson when he went to the USA or was he also out of contract? As much as I liked Walker his transfer value was negligible. As for the £1.5 million for Hickey: he was also approaching the end of his contract and there will still be money to come from  his sell-on clause. Turning Hickey's career round (which he did) was one  of the few redeeming features of Levein's time at Hearts.

Blaming Neilson for Levein's chaotic signing policies is ridiculous.

Because we have been run like amateurs for too long.

 

Savage and co. are hopefully/appear to be turning it around slowly.

Let’s be honest if Bassey goes it’s pretty predictable Rangers will look at Kingsley. He is the best left sided defender currently in Scotland. Finished article, Premier League experienced, fitness difficulties

proven to be behind him, set piece artist. 
 

If that transfer comes around it should be nothing less than breaking our £9m record fee for Craig Gordon. It should be breaking the record fee ever paid between Scottish clubs. Kingsley is worth that. 
 

If a clogger like bassey is worth £18m after they paid £230k for him 2 years ago, then Kingsley is worth 8 figures. 
 

Awaiting the “Rangers to offer bumper £1.5m for Kingsley” pish in the Daily Record. We should just get ahead of it and say anything south of £10m will be flushed down the toilet. Other than that more

than happy to keep him here and let him walk for free in summer 2025 when his contract is up

Followed by the headline, "don't wreck my dream move to the Rangers" by Kingsley - even though he never said it.

First line is spot on.

I would add  we still aren't brave enough with regards to recruitment. 

We still seem to be fumbling about in the free to 250 k market .

0ur squad seems  to be crying out for 2 players of quality , especially up top.We aren't faraway but every club needs a couple of talisman that demand more wages but eventually can make the club money in transfer returns.

It looks like we've been overcautious with the Hickey sell on agreeing a flat fee rather than backing the lads ability to improve and move on for a huge fee.

Nobody is advocating a scatter cash approach but we need to start speculating to accumulate like Aberdeen have done recently.

Not the Neilson part. Walker, Hickey, Patterson and Nicholson all left when Neilson wasn’t in charge. Not sure there was much more we could have done to keep Souttar. Bongo has an utterly bizarre agenda that derails so many threads on here,  its clear and obvious.

Well they just sold a defender to Liverpool for circa 4 mill and a midfielder to an Italian club for circa 2 Mill which has allowed them to speculate on 2 strikers for  combined  fees of well over a mill.

Exactly, speculate to accumulate is effectively gambling. You are throwing money on the hope it brings in a big reward. You can have an educated policy of trying to recruit but if those signings start failing then you are throwing good money away and the losses build up and up. 

 

As you say people who call for speculate to accumulate have a view of it being a no lose situation. That being brave means we will win big. And its the club cowardice that they dont go for a winning system. But its the exact same as a gambler who says they cant lose because they have a system and if they throw most of their income into it then they will be rich. Who knows, it could work, but most cases show the opposite.

I suspect Rangers couldn't afford Kingsley. He's just signed a long term contract with the club and is absolutely crucial to our team. On top of that, I don't think we should be selling to rivals on principle. 

 

I'd start bidding at £5m because he's worth that to us. We'd not replace him easily and should be compensated accordingly for that. Anything less isn't worth the hassle to the team.

 

I suspect Rangers either have a youngster who is ready to step up or Gio has contacts down south or abroad who could bring in a younger player they can develop to try and replicate the Bassey situation.

I like Kingsley but he will never be a 5m pound player, he has had a spell down south, won't go back there, in my opinion not good enough for OF, great he stays with us for rest of his career, hopefully.

The whole of the Romanov regime was speculate to accumulate and look where that ultimately led us. We didn't chuck transfer fees around like confetti last summer and our recruitment was as good as you can remember. Some are just looking at Aberdeens spending thinking we're being left behind when there's still 6 weeks to the end of the window.
