Yes you said but without knowing the previous high it doesn't tell you a lot when none of the others scored 40 goals in a season or were top scorers in an international tournament. If the previous high for an 18 year old was £400/week is it a big deal if he's offered more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear he doesn't want to stay so I'd sell to the highest bidder in January, make sure there's a decent sell on clause inserted in the deal and forget about him. I think it's clear that we're past the point of no return with George now Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think nothing at all is "clear". The vast majority, if not all, of us do not known the facts of this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 22 minutes ago, Geoffrey said: Just watched the Beresford interview. He "knows for a fact" that Hirst is not asking for excessive wages. Backs up what Grandad was told and in stark contrast to those making up figures on here. Beresford and Biggs both stressing that Hirst is currently under contract and bewildered that he is not being allowed to play football. Bersford claiming that all the kid wants to do is play football be it here or on loan. That's me convinced then Is £104k+ excessive for an 18 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Don't forget though, he said himself that it is his dream to play for Wednesday (this was when he happily signed his first contract for Wednesday). But has now decided it's his dream to play for whoever will pay him the most. Which is fair enough but just be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The idea of seeing Hirst and Borukov come through the SWFC ranks and into the first team does excite me though Borukov looks a right player And Penney Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch McLovin Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Who says it’s JUST money ? I think he is wanting to be given a chance in the first team and IMO rightly so but is being told George you won’t make the bench with the number we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its the length of contract being offered? Or clauses within it? Given that our Chairman has so far completely ballsed up Ticket prices Corporate pricing Financial Fair Play risks The clubs commercial offering The merchandise The shirts The 150th anniversary celebrations Our aging squad purchases What makes people so convinced hes playing this one right?
