Stupid on both sides that they can't talk and try and sort something out If he does go to Leicester I can't see him getting remotely near their first team for years Kelen Iheanacho can't and he cost 30 million! No way young Hirst cracks that first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As far as I read, Hirst refused a new contract so we refuse to play him in the U18s and U23's. It is that simple! Hirst has every right to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfoster Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 53 minutes ago, Quist said: He said he had 5 or 6 u/23 players training with squad and was looking at them to see if they could help out. May not be exact words but he certainly said looking at them because of current issues. think it was just over half way through. Thought good news. Deffo. I liked CC but never felt he was interested in giving young players a chance. I saw U18s for first time in a while on Sat. Good standard, good football and 2/3 who could well do something in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His age and surely his PL-fortified wage demands are what gave me pause. Would have rather seen us sign a younger striker just coming into his own, a Sam Winnall from Barnsley perhaps? Instead, we get Winnall when there's an absolute logjam at striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only referring to ages but Fletcher I could understand to an extent, decent in the air, added a target man to our ranks (upgrade on Nuhiu), something different Rhodes didn't make sense, especially after Winnall. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He's got Doyen Global printed on his Twitter profile, so if we want less to do with them, it's better he goes too... and to finally put this case to rest, whatever each party may have said or done as part of negotiations. We have parts of the story, Hirst could've been good addition to our team, but if circumstances won't see that happen, good luck to him elsewhere. Right now it's just depressing we've got a academy prospect who's hardly playing or training and wasting his talent away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the situation I was expecting his move to be all lined up and ready to go on the 1st January Yeah me too, maybe he’s not in quite as much demand as we’re lead to believe or maybe those that want him have actually not offered as high a wage as us?

bradowl Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 When I seen that 5 of under 23s had joined in training with rest of squad I thought/hoped Hirst would be one of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standidno Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 14 hours ago, Ian said: All those saying Hirst thinks he worth more than he is are wrong.......he doesn't need to think, what he is worth is a matter of fact and it's whatever other clubs are offering him. So if, for example, Leicester think he's worth £10k a week and we think and offer him £3k a week, the fact is that he is worth £10k a week and would be advised to take that. its basic economics, just a shame that there's been so much animosity going around about it This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
