Diadora Van Basten Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It would be impossible to value Temps just now as seven games ago he wasn't in the first team. If he continues to play for the rest of the season in the same manner as he has played in the last seven games then he could play top of Premiership which would be a decent fee for us and a good move for him. I think that most top teams buy players from international football and that would seem to be the next step for Temps. Hopefully Hearts stand firm and refuse to entertain offers from the uglies, championship sides and Prem teams with no hope of European football.

bighusref Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My apologies if I'm confusing you with someone else, but I seem to remember you've called things wrong on the transfer front quite a few times in the past. If Hearts are giving serious consideration to any transfer offer for Templeton, his name will not be on the teamsheet for St Mirren park tomorrow. So the proof will be very much in the pudding. I cannot be bothered searching but IIRC he has dropped a few "in the know" clangers. As for the last bit, irrespective of what I believe about any impending transfer, that holds no water whatsoever. For that to be true, then Templeton would have had to been in London to have discussions regarding wages and signing on fee. When an offer is "on the table", the player will continue to be available for selection until the last minute. What if Hearts are interested but want to barter? Would we do without Templeton whilst any fee is discussed? If that were the case, Kilmarnock would have been without Bryson for the first few weeks of the season.

Your probably not confusing me with anyone else as i have posted "rumours" (rumour = 1.information, often a mixture of truth and untruth, passed around verbally. 2. gossip or hearsay) that i have been told by imo a decent source, some have turned out to be right some never came to fruition but that is what a rumour is, no? Anyways i was told a couple of weeks back a Championship side had tabled a massive bid for Temps, whether its true or not we would have to just wait and see.

Let me re-phrase it then, if a bid is close to being accepted, Templeton would be withdrawn from selection. It's happened a few times through the years, Velicka and Berra being examples that spring to mind. Personally I don't think anything is close, as there are very few clubs down south who have money to spend currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I posted last week i had been told a very substantial offer was on the table for Temps, however i was told it was by a Championship club? Does that mean West Ham are waiting until the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm guessing from that figure they only want to buy his boots. If they want the full shabbang they are going to have to pay a hell of a lot more than Sunderland paid for Craig Gordon. If Temps maintains his form and gains an international cap, VR will surely be eyeing up an 8 figure sum. We dismissed 'paltry' sums like ?3 Mill for Driver (pre-injury) and whilst I do rate Driver very highly I honestly believe Temps has much more to his game.

Personally I don't think anything is close, as there are very few clubs down south who have money to spend currently. Kilmarnock were close to accepting our offer for Bryson but he continued to be selected. For him to be be removed from selection, Hearts would have to agree a fee with a club, plain and simple. Both of those instances you mention were results of bids being accepted. Anyway, splitting hairs, I am quite happy to say that David Templeton will not sign for West Ham United in January. West Ham United do not have a pot to pee in, never mind a spare bunch of Millions for new signings. They openly linked themselves to famous players and big transfers but at the end of the day made one big signing (Barrera for ?4 Million) and an "undisclosed" fee for Piqiuonne (sp?) from relegated and administered Portsmouth, Hitzelsperger on a free and Obinna on loan. Since then, I'd suggest their finances have not swelled any and will be hoping to sell the permanently Ledley King'd striker Carlton Cole or Scott Parker before doing any business.

Jamhammer Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hines is quick but no more than a prospect at this stage. Could do well up here if he could stay fit but I'd be looking for a wee bit more than 4 mil and would rather keep wee Temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgie_rebel Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I believe this to be a load of old pash WHU are falling over with wide players at the moment and that is not where the fix at Upton Park is needed anyhow. Total non story IMO. On the issue of how much is Temps worth. I think that an offer of ?5m would be enough to prompt Vlad to sell. Now. In the summer or whenever TBH. Maybe if he gets his nose into Levein's plans then that figure may increase a little but even at that it's not a bad bit of buisness. My personal veiw is Temps would do better, career wise, to stay here for another year as he is nowhere near the player he can be yet, and he will learn more and develop better under JJ than he would as some squad player in say a top Championship or lower EPL team. Wages at that level though are a real head turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstruck Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Astonishing! There's nothing like getting carried away but, seeing it's the silly season, I would offer the suggestion that a ?4m bid for Temps will value Suso at ?8m as, after all, Temps is only starting regularly due to Suso being sidelined.
