Debating/slagging off George Hirst makes us look so petty and tinpot, move the thread to other football, close it and let's all move forward into the exciting new season ahead.

How do you know others would pay him more? He wasn't a first team player and now perhaps never will be. Because we expected to earn at least 2m for him (offer from Leicester that we turned down). Again, we lost at least 2m because we handled whole situation so poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Wonder how much he earns now? Considering folk seem certain our offer was well below what he knew he could earn elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And perhaps they offered us 2m in rubber stamps... How the hell, would we broke wage structure to keep him ? By offering him more then we offered to other U-23 players ?! Nonsense... Did we broke our wage structure to offer Emanuelson God only knows how much to play U-23 football, and leaves for free ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it isn't nonsense, break the structure for a one player and you get the lads that have actually made first team appearances banging down the door, thats why these structures are in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you don't know if the £2m is genuine, but use it to bash the club anyway? Wasn't Emanuelson signed for the first team, a player of Champions League experience, and former clubs include Ajax, Milan, and Roma? But yeah, let's compare that to a kid with one senior appearance ever (at that time) - in the early rounds of the League Cup against lower league opposition... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nonsense. You have one player wanted by Premiership team, ready to pay good money for, and most others that we are struggling to get out on loan. What reason we gave to George Hirst to sign new deal with the club ? If we do the same again, we will lose any good talent that comes through and get interest from othrr clubs.

Emanuelson was unfit to play football, and it was never likely he will help us on the pitch or earn us money in the future. It is not important where he played before. Can't believe there is a single Wednesday fan who would defend signing of Emanuelson ?! Both deals were catastrophic for Sheffield Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never any official statement from the club, we had a couple of derisory offers and no more, your argument is built on sand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link suggests the offer was £2m + add ons. https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/leicester-city/transfer-talk/news/leicester-fail-with-new-bid-for-hirst_306124.html - Other links suggest £2m with no structure to the deal. On sky and other organisation that the offer was £2m. Edited June 24, 2019 by room0035 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
