Jambo_ree Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Is anyone else worried about Bruno's soon to run out contract? Given that he arrived when we were paying silly money to players to sign on, I would imagine he is one of the better paid members of the current squad. I know that he has not always been brilliant, but always looked a player to me, and Sunday seemed like quite a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that he has not always been brilliant, but always looked a player to me, and Sunday seemed like quite a return. Thats the thing, Im sure some people can remember the really bad performances from him. Before he got injured he only had one or two games where he stood out. Dont get me wrong I hope his form from sunday keeps going but as I said in another thread I would keep him hanging with the contract he's on until the 11th hour to keep his performances up.

Charlie-Brown Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Bruno is a really good player as he showed on sunday and it's a shame he's been out for so long - he is now into the last 8 or 9 months of his current contract - it's a shame he's probably one of those earning at a wage level higher than the club can realistically afford...maybe he would accept a drop in wage levels to repay the club for the 18 months he was out injured?

Spellczech Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Bit in the Metro so clearly the Daily Mail's man has been on here, seen the thread from the other day, and called Pedro Barbosa, Aguiar's agent. Barbosa for his part has stated that Hearts have not been in touch about a new deal but that the player is just back from injury and is seeking to get a run of games and be established in the team - totally sensible - and the quote is "I have not heard from Hearts yet but the most important thing for him is to keep playing in games and then we will see", but this gets reported as "Doubts Over Aguiar Deal" by the journo...

Wouldnt that be nice eh? Unfortunately it would never happen in modern day football. Maybe back in the day. I'd love wee Bruno to prove me wrong though!

Cut The Crap Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Given how little he has contributed for his (in all likelihood considerable) wedge, I find it hard to see how we could justify keeping him, especially if we're cutting our cloth.

Would you accept a drop in pay if you were off your work for a long time? I doubt it. I know that I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldius fordovich Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Would you accept a drop in pay if you were off your work for a long time? I doubt it. I know that I wouldn't. Most of us wouldn't have a choice. Virtually all of us would find our wages reduced by our employers after a period of time. In my case I'd go onto half wages after 6 months sick. I've got no idea how it works with players but Hearts will, presumably, have an insurance policy which pays some of the player's wage whilst he is out injured (or is this too simplistic?)

1874robbo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Shock,Horror are we really surprised that some sections of the press have come out with this story??. If Bruno had been dreadful and not motm on sunday would this story have been trotted out by the gutter press?,i think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Dont care whats being reported in the papers, the simple fact is that Hearts cannot justify paying over the odds for a player which in all essence is quite injury prone. He had a great game on Sunday, but the usual over reactions to his performance on sunday sum up this place. He was good and I would like him to stay, but not at the expense of the club. I cannot see him being here next year, but would much prefer we offloaded the likes of Kingston etc before we looked at Bruno. Think he will be offered a new contract, but probably not the same amount he is currently earning. Just my thoughts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Bruno's future at Hearts (or lack of it) will depend to an extent on how many games he plays before he gets injured again. If he's out again in a fortnight and doesn't feature for ages there's not much chance of Vlad keeping him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debt is the same as it was when he took over, and we've won the Cup and seen some good players come and go. We have about 3 times as many players as we did when Robbo's squad was reduced to about 18, and we have quite a few promising youngsters whilst we just had a few back then. This regime has not been the disaster many on here talk about, when you ignore what could have been, and rather review what actually has happened.

I think Csaba is doing a fine job so far even though I'm not a fan of 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 (whichever the system actually is). Csaba is right though we have too many players for some positions and too few for others. The squad is badly unbalanced and this does need fixed in January.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If we're gonna balance the books, its guys like Basso and Makela that need to be moved on - the ones on big-ish wages who are contrbuting nothing. I don't mind paying players like Bruno a decent wage if their gonna perform like he did on Sunday (tbh I think overall Bruno's been one of the few successful "Vlad signings"). I would imagine he's on a few grand a week, but not in the Kingston category so I don't think he's crippling us. First and foremost he's a good player - we've been short on them over the last 18 - 24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
