HoGwash Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 4 minutes ago, HopeDiouf said: Equally, it doesn't mean that if we chose to pay a fee to get him now, it is moronic. Or Lunacy. It's just a choice that we might or might not make. I agree but I didn't call anyone or anything moronic, lunacy, tinpot or any other insulting term, I simply argued that if the club decided against paying whatever fee RC wanted, that didn't make us tinpot. Personally I would prefer that we didn't pay a significant fee for a maximum of 15 games but that also assumes that the pre-contract is in place. If it isn't then the negotiation changes.

Mikey1874 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Adding the extra day to the transfer window came from discussions by the bigger nations - Spain, Italy, Germany etc. Seems now its set that transfer windows will now end February 1st and September 1st.

And prior to that, the Evening News (courtesy of @Selkirkhmfc1874) and seeing as that's via Glasgow the word must've been circulating amongst reporters last night.

Wee Mikey Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 17 minutes ago, Sooks said: Also on " verbal agreements " Under Scots law, legal agreements do not, in most cases, have to be in writing. The law considers verbal agreements to be binding if the parties have a common purpose and they clearly intend to create a legal relationship. If these elements exist, the Scottish courts will enforce a verbal agreement. Mind you, if it comes to that then it really would be a bit of a shit-show.

Disser Pointon Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 45 minutes ago, sam? said: Dhanda and Fraser are two different style players, its not one or other. SN mentioned in an interview last week he had been tracking Fraser from last summer. I don't disagree but I think the addition of Fraserv should be sufficient till the end of the season given the position we are in and the funds could be put to better use.

Phil D. Corners Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 34 minutes ago, Pete Elliott said: I’d rather the opposite. Come the summer we have an embedded Dhanda rather than a loan player heading back to his own club. Normally yes. I would love to get him in now and settled for next season. But 150k for four months earlier is too much for me. We are looking good for third and he’s Cup tied so not sure he’s going to make a difference this season. IMO we should would spend the cash elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renoir Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I was at the Livi game last night and Dhanda was a stand out, technically better than every player on the park. IMO Ross County would be silly to let him go in January as he really could be the difference between Championship and SPL (if Livi were ever to pick up). Seems to have a great attitude, so no question of him downing tools. Penrice made a couple of decent runs going forward but wasn't too much interplay as Noubles passing and touch was dreadful (apologies for ever even suggesting we made a move for him previously). Interestingly both Dhanda and Penrice are the teams primary set piece takers and I would suggest this is an area that we could improve vastly, particularly corners.

Just that he'd be a good option from the bench - which could also be a good way to build up his fitness/sharpness. 4 minutes ago, Wee Mikey said: KVV ain't like-for-like vis-a-vis Shankland.

Gene Parmesan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Van Veen is on a sizeable wage, I'm not sure it would be very good business to take on a high earner to sit on the bench. If Shankland goes, that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Brian McLauchlin, BBC Sport Scotland What is the state of play for Hearts as we tick towards tomorrow's transfer deadline? As things stand, the club is yet to receive any kind of interest in Lawrence Shankland, having offered the striker an improved contract. BBC Scotland understands Hearts won't place a bid to sign Yan Dhanda this month unless there's an outgoing from the home dressing room. The Englishman will join on a pre-contract arrangement in the summer. And there's been plenty of chatter of interest in Livingston left-back James Penrice, but the Tynecastle club have no plans to bring the 25-year-old in this window. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cqed74pnp12o So just Fraser and contracts. Unless someone leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
