RichieB Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 £1m is a joke for a young English player of his potential, but it reflects how other clubs will try to take the piiss because he only has a year left on his contract. Really hope we can get him to sign a new long term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Guessing the management might regret weeing Hirst senior off. Can see George letting his contract run down, us getting 350k for him, 2 years time transfers to Man U or somet for 35 million and goes on to beat Rooney's scoring record for England. Only way I can see this not happening is if he gets game time for the first XI but I can't see that happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 He's less proven than Vardy was when they bought him for £1m, I certainly wouldn't call it a derisory offer as Hirst's professional future is still uncertain. That said, given that we appear to have no money issues I wouldn't sell him at that price either. He seems to be worth gambling on keeping for the potential he's showing.

jasper Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 He's 18 and can make his own decisions'fact is"he's been offered a very good contract extension' and it will reflect very bad on him' if he doesn't sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the the one touting his son to the big boys behind the clubs back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19owl08 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I was very surprised they didn't take him on preseason tour. Some of the other youngsters have gone & it would have been perfect time to give him some experience & convince him on that new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_owl Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Good point on him not being part of the Portugese trip. Would have been a nice experience for him. i really hope this doesnt end in tears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebby Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm guessing he's had extra time off because of the late end to his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1867 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 All those saying the bid is a joke, they can roger off etc do you realise that he is in the final year of his contract and will leave for next to nothing next summer. The club have virtually no power at all in this situation, the ball is entirely in Hirst's court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkeye Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Tribunal would give a decent amount of money and a high sell on percentage. None of this "omg he will go for free next year I hate Wednesday" nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
