steelcityowlsfan Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 He was offered the best contract ever offered for his age group and said no. He had 1 sub appearance for the first team. Mr Chansiri was probably hurt and angered by this and maybe stopped him playing for the U23 team (not proven). Katrien came in and towards the end of the season George was playing for the U23's again, presumably with the hope of him changing his mind or banging some more goals in and getting an actual decent fee for him. Neither happened and instead George and his advises decided to shaft the very club he "Supposedly" had supported all his life. The move just comes across as spiteful and some sort of payback. Lets hope Borukov can push on and we can nail him down long term. It's inevitable we will lose our very best prospects while we remain in this league and even beyond when the big teams come calling. But let's try and make sure we are suitably compensated in the future to avoid un savoury dealings as just witnessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Well it seems to have split the fanbase. I do think the 'feck the greedy Tvv@t' attitude is pretty mindless though. Emotional reasoning. No brain engagement required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slightly backhanded way the move was engineered to seemingly avoid compensation payments to the club shows that some of our heroes don't feel the same way about the club. Sad and annoying but I'm not losing any sleep about it. He is unproven - we wouldn't have this much nonsense about Nando leaving which would be a significantly bigger blow to out immediate prospects. I am fed up with thread after thread about him. If his surname wasn't Hirst he'd have been forgotten about ages ago. HE'S NOT OUR PLAYER. LET IT GO!

Threads like this actually help with that as we all get to talk it to death till we are sick of it and then move on. As for me it was just a dream to see a player of Hirsts calibre play for us again. Now that seems much less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have no problem with footballers being professionals and maximising their earning potential. I do have a problem with them saying what big fans of the club they are after deliberately hurting it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan48 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Brooks - £12mill . Hirst - £169k. Something not quite right there . Maybe Katrien needs to have a word with those working in the sty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) He wanted to go and earn more money than we were prepared to offer him. Fair enough. Just be honest about it though and don't pretend you're a fan. It's insulting to the thousands of fans who would have loved the chance he had.

I’ve no problem with him wanting to earn more money, I’d be exactly the same. I have a real problem with the way him, his dad and Leicester have screwed the club out of money they deserve by signing for Leicester through the back door. Can you imagine what would happen to clubs further down the football league ladder if this sort of transfer activity become common practice!? Some clubs rely on developing talent and selling it on just to survive. F**k him, not because he wants more money but because of how he’s gone about things.

For what it's worth my opinion is that no one comes out of this debacle with any credit. Unless of course a factual event of what really happened becomes available.

I do think the 'feck the greedy Tvv@t' attitude is pretty mindless though. Emotional reasoning. No brain engagement required. I actually agree with that but likewise with some of the adverse assumptions against DC. It's a sad state and perhaps both 'sides' might have done things differently with the benefit of hindsight. Going forward the problem will be that should he not develop as hoped then some will relish that just as some will vent should he do a Vardy. The sage word now is that we should have accepted the alleged £2m on offer from Leicester. That being the case then that should be the benchmark of potential losses rather than some hypothetical inflated future value. In reality given how football is nowadays we were never realistically going to be able to prudently compete with a premier league club and his leaving was therefore pretty inevitable IMO. On an upnote the Borukov 2 year deal is the latest in more promising recent signs regarding our youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
