Bazzas right boot Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 With all the excitement around Shankland, Beni's contract situation has gone under the radar a bit. He's free to sign a pre contract now. Shankland extending followed by Beni committing would be fabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddysBar Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hope he stays. I'm always in two minds about players who are out for a lengthy spell then leave like Souttar and possibly Beni. We’ve looked after them well whilst they were not contributing anything but at the same time, they did get injured working for Hearts.

Rods Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Beni will go. Class player but always clearly had ambitions to play elsewhere. If he signs a pre contract soon I would have some major concerns having him in the starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with it. He isn’t a boyhood Hearts fan. He played with us because we were the best offer available at the time, and now he fancies his chances somewhere else. He’s honoured the contract he signed. It’s neither his fault nor the club’s that he got such a bad injury - just crappy luck. I’d love for him to re-sign, but if not, that’s football.

I think it's more to do with what he said and when he arrived. "Joe, I will make you, and this club, a lot of money" No need to say that especially if that was never his intention. We looked after him throughout his rehabilitation period. It's a carbon copy of the Souttar fiasco potentially in the making but I am still hopeful he will sign the new contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMJ_1874 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 He won’t entertain us just now as he’s been advised not to sign any contract from his ‘advisor.’ He will take the same route as Gino so enjoy him for the next 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmorewasgash Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 No disrespect to him but he has been out more than he has played and was out after hibs game again. If he gets injured again then we have lost money on him and he is free when he leaves in summer. Maybe not popular thought but if him and agent think he is destined for better let him go now for some dosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzy2k7 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 My take is I don't think he will stay, just a gut feeling, I think he will want to see if he can do it at English championship level and progress his career further, would like us to at least keep him until the summer though as he is cclearly our best midfielder by some distance, if/when he does go, I think we should be all over Alan Campbell if we can somehow do a deal with Luton for him.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Can't be sure he's staying but I'm also not horribly worried about him going. The front office's attention has rightly been on Shanks—either getting him to stay or if we're selling him, making sure it happens early enough in the window that we can find a replacement. If Shanks does, as is rumoured, sign an extension (please let it be so), I would imagine Savage and co. would turn their attention to extending players like Beni and Forrest. Priorities and that.

1971fozzy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Id like to hope he gives us another year at least. That would be fair in my view. 18 months out was a game changer like it or not so would be very glad if we had him for another year at least. Fingers crossed.

iantjambo Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If he signs a new contract, then great. If he decides he wants to leave, then **** him. Good player, but far from irreplaceable. I know his injury wasn’t his fault, but if he does a Souttar, then it would leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH11 2NL Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Beni is a classy player but there's no way we should be offering silly money, if he's rejected the deal then fair enough. £ for £ we've had better from Cammy Devlin over the last 3 years. Beni is a huge risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTBCAL Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Beni absolutely wants Hearts to get some kind of money for him. I know this for a fact. How that is achieved I don’t know. There is a small chance he can sign a new contract with a view that he will sold in the summer. But personally I think he will go in the summer either way.

pettigrewsstylist Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I think he is gone if he can get an offer better than ours. No idea if he has any currently. Not concerned about playing him remainder of season if he has no offers that interest him, as he will then be neeeding to showcase towards summer. If he signs pre contract then that changes.
