Charlie-Brown Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm not sure how much Celtic paid for Flood or the Irish player as well as a few youth signings they made but is our ?180K for Balogh the single biggest fee paid by an SPL club this January window? Are Hearts the SPL's biggest spenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We haven't spent anything bar the loan fee for Balogh. Anyway, it isn't about what you spend, it is how you spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not paid anything for Balogh....yet Possibly not but it was the biggest single spend sanctioned by any SPL club this transfer window (with the possible exception of Celtic?). Certainly David Murray, Rod the Tache, Wiggy Milne, Thomson Junior, erse-Boyle etc didn't invest any more in their team than Hearts did. It is true that we also received the most transfer fee income .... probaly about 75% of all SPL transfer income received this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Hearts the SPL's biggest spenders? Is there a team in the SPL who have weakened themselves as much as we have in the transfer window ? Its a right laugh that the Romanov apologists have to count Balogh as a transfer window signing, given that he's been here since August and we havent paid for him yet. All that happened with Balogh was that we didnt lose him. He is not a signing !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United lost Flood (& S.Robertson through injury) , Motherwell lost Porter both very much key players for them - neither team signed proven SPL players as replacements.

Its a right laugh that the Romanov apologists have to count Balogh as a transfer window signing, given that he's been here since August and we havent paid for him yet. All that happened with Balogh was that we didnt lose him. He is not a signing !!! Ridiculous comment. Until this transfer window, Balogh was simply on loan to us. We have now bought him in much the same way as every other purchase deal is done these days - some money up front with further payments to come. He has now been registered as a player owned by Hearts. The fact that we have not paid the full fee yet, is utterly irrelevant. On that basis, would you argue that Craig Gordon isn't really a Sunderland player? Baolgh came to Hearts in the summer as a loan player and now we have bought him. He is definitely a signing. Put it this way, if we hadn't signed him, this board would have gone into meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As CB mentions above, the article with Scott Crabbe on the official site has a bit at the end saying they went home. Bit disappointed that Cinikas (the one that suggested he had signed for the season) has went home, didn't know anything about the other guy.

Only a Game Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Rangers brought in no one, zero, zilch, nothing:tongue: Did they weaken their team ? Did Celtic ? Did Aberdeen. and did Dundee Utd not bring someone in to cover for the loss of Flood (they did I just cant remember who it was). Christ even Motherwell signed player(s) to cover for the loss of Porter My point stands. We are the ONLY team in the SPL who weakened their team overall in the transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a new signing (i.e the signing of a new player) by any stretch of the imagination. Dont get me started about Craig Gordon because ?9 million pounds ought to have been enough to afford to replace HIM and sign a striker which we needed than and amazingly still need but we havent ever done either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He WAS A Hearts player in december but then went back to becoming a Debrecen player after his loan finished. Hearts then took up a clause which allowed us to sign him. So he now a new signing because like you said, he wasn't a hearts registerd player when we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
