I have no idea as to his worth, for all know he could be worth £25,000 per week or he could be worth £1000. Again (not meant to sound sarcastic) what figure would you draw the line at? Well if they are offering 50k a week like further down the thread then its irrelevant. I had no idea that an 18 year old kid who cant get a game in the championship would be worth 50k a week. Id say my version of what people are worth these days is all wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds can probably offer him decent chance of first team football, and have record of promoting young players to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allsoppa11 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Imagine the full horror of him getting in the Leeds side & scoring against us !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do that if someone grew a pair. Get him on the bench, if he is good enough. We may be two forwards lighter this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would honestly sell him. The lads seems more hassle than he is worth. Take 3 million and a good sell on clause. Good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thing gets to tribunal, considering how many professional games he played, and scored in we won't get anywhere near that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get a contract with a big club it's hard to blame him for taking it. (If. All the discussion here is purely speculative). Also, he would be irrational to feel differently about us than he would to a clun such as Derby or Villa were he on their books. Also, we would be irrational to value him any more or less for his parentage. It a good job he's not related to Tom Ince then wookie? he'd be on his 8th club by now (now there's a man that makes me cringe) that is Paul Ince........ Much of my love for our greatest Striker of the last 30 plus years we all know his dad will guide him to get the best future with a very successful set up Truth is that is looking unlikeliest at S6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that an 18 year old could earn that much without actually playing a competitive game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have we got ourselves in this situation? I suppose the story of how we got into the 'Hirst saga' is one of mismanagement which left us unable to match the kind of wages that Premiership clubs can pay to untested teenagers. It's quite a long story spanning about 15 years and I can't be arsed to go into the detail. Edited August 30, 2017 by Sonny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
