It's quite a long story spanning about 15 years and I can't be arsed to go into the detail. It is sad. I am a bit bored of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 3 million and a good sell on clause. Good business. You won't be saying that when some other club sell him to ManU for 150 million in 4 years time.

trev Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If he was as good as some people seem to think, he would be in our team by now. He isnt 15. He is a young man now, he should be knocking on the door of the first team but he cant even get on the bench. Sure, he may have potential, but lets not fool ourselves he is not the next Rashford or Owen. Chances are he will go the same way as many many many other young players who showed potential. If he wont sign, sell him and move on. If he is prepared to sign the contract, go on loan and prove he can do it against MEN then he will get his rewards. ONCE HE HAS EARNED THEM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think we should loan him out anyways even if he don't sign a new contract.nothing to lose ,if he does well on loan by January offer him a new contract and give him a chance here ,if he wants to leave his value will go up and I'm sure we would get far more by a tribunal than the pathetic 2 million Leicester have offered.

At that age some players are physically mature and some aren't. Clearly Hirst hasn't matured fully yet for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastleigh Owl Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't understand why so many get their knickers in a twist over this lad. The writing was on the wall as soon as his dad slipped anchor, no way back after that. The club just needs to protect it's asset in whichever way it can now.

handworth52 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 noticed how david hirst isn't listed to attend Mondays 150 year bash ,there is a list of 30 plus ex players and managers but no hirst. I wonder if its anything to do with his sons contract? or maybe its just that he is on holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
