cosanostra Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 after the Celtic game apparently Interesting if true. I doubt we'll sign another injury prone striker after Tullberg and Pinilla but I guess with Hearts, logic doesn't usually apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Chick Young is a clown. Not so long ago I heard him and Murdo McLeod slavering about us being set to be 'the next Third Lanark' 'They were a big club too, make no mistake about it' Anyway, now he's got us down as signing old firm players.

Nah, that's too sensible, good enough player is Porter but with our recent history signing strikers, Pinilla, Klimek, Beniusis, Tullberg etc...another injured striker is definately more Hearts style!

Fat Striker Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I heard he'd signed a pre-contract with a championship club. It's Clarkson I think we should be going for. It doesn't surprise me that Porter is attracting interest from down south. I rate Clarkson but I think it's toally unrealistic to be setting our sights on players like this. He's contracted up to 2010 I think, he's got a couple of Scotland caps (and actually aquitted himself well iirc) Motherwell have every right to expect a decent fee for him. We just don't have that kind of money and even if we move some of our players on we will probably be looking at bosmans, pre-contract deals and moderate fees (I'm thinking round about ?200,000).

Only a Game Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 As long as they're not sleekit *********, I don't have a problem with it So agreeing a deal (through his agent) with Hearts whilst agreeing a deal at the same time with Cardiff (through his agent) followed by binning both clubs in favour of a more lucrative last minute move to Celtic and then publicly bad mouthing both Hearts and Cardiff isnt sleekit enough for you. Killen had his chance to come to Hearts and thought he was bigger than us. Presumably he still does think that way. He's also spent the greater part of the last 3 years being treated for injuries, PLUS..........he's not very good Someone like Porter at Motherwell would be a far better signing IMO.

Fat Striker Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think a fee of 750k is unrealistic if we get 2m for Larry. It saddens me to say I think any transfer fees that we get in this window will just be used to shore up our finances. I can't see Hearts paying out more than ?300,000 for a player at the moment. It's frustrating but it's probably the right thing to do. Get the wage bill down, pick up some out of contract bargains and promote youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think a fee of 750k is unrealistic if we get 2m for Larry. Sorry but don't you read the papers -- we have no money -- we will not be spending sums of money anywhere near that -- we need ?2m plus to keep the wolves from the door to the seasons end.

buzzbomb Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think when Hearts buy it will still be players with a potential sell-on value, like Ian Black.

Dirk Diggler Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't think a fee of 750k is unrealistic if we get 2m for Larry. I think 750k is unrealistic regardless of how much we bring in this month. Bearing in mind we're talking about a figure that Hearts have only spent 3 times before in their entire history, I think it's pretty safe to say we won't be spending that much on any single player this month.

You never know. We spend close to that amount on Jose and Beslija. Like I said, it depends on how much we bring in and get off the wage bill. You're probably right though.

Drylaw Hearts Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I don't believe that we are in the financial trouble that's been reported. There is most definitely a cash flow problem though. Along with the wage/bonus issues the Arbroath situation indicates we don't have a lot of cash on the hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll be (and hope) that it's an injury prone has/never been whose best days are behind him. This is bang on the money. There is no way Hearts will spend serious money on any player. Any money spent will be considered to be at least half of what could be recouped. That will mean the player will be young and cheap. VR is here to make money not spend it.

CostaJambo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'll be amazed if Vlad spends a single penny on transfer fees, irrespective of how much he gets through sales. ...hope to be proved wrong though. Is Killen meant to be dead fast? Would be nice to have someone who can keep up with Driver when we go on counter attacks. Watching Nade puff his way up the pitch is almost embarrassing.
