ChinaOwl Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Shame we couldn't hang on to George for another year though. Given the lengths that Leicester have gone to for his services, maybe we could have lined up a swap deal for Harry Maguire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think we have been cheated out of two million quid by Leicester who have found a back door way of signing him for nowt. And that two million quid would have come in handy re FFP. You have to ask why DC didn't take the 2 million as he then decided to freeze him out whilst his contract ran down. It would indeed have been useful re FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got yoghurts in the fridge with more history. I remember the BBC crowned it the UK's sporting capital or something a couple of years ago. That freak title win and Gary Linekar have a f*cking lot to answer for. What else is there? A rugby team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeeez I know right, spending a year wasting away in the Belgian second division just to get one over on the Wednesday. Very very bitter indeed.

With the benefit of hindsight we probably shoud have but, I'm not going to criticise DC for trying to keep hold of one of our talented youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 DC was done like a kipper. We move on and hopefully lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 41 minutes ago, vulva said: Not the point. This is a deliberate circumnavigation of the rules. Stuff like this is why clubs having links/ownership with other clubs was stopped in the first place. The whole thing stinks in so many ways. If Leicester want him, buy him. If they can’t agree a price, wait until the contact expires. Leicester want the book throwing at them, and I sincerely hope the FA and UEFA get involved, suspend the transfer and the lad rots for 12 months. Damn right - and he’s already rotted for 24 months.

Kraschenbern Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I really don't get the obsession with Hirst Jnr. He's no longer our player. He didn't want to be our player. He's not as good as everyone makes out.... as the last twelve months have clearly shown. We released a player this summer who was supposedly one of the top fifty youngsters in the world and no one bats an eyelid. Can we move on now please. It's so chuffing boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad runs his contract down and signs for another club, Leuven with Pearson. After a season Leicester sign him. We had our chance to take the money or work out a deal.

If Leicester want to mess around like that for a few million, then go for it. It's not going to make much of an impact on them or us in the long term. Move on from him, he's not a Wednesday player any more. Who gives a fizz about Leicester? All well and good, but what if he hadn't been at Wednesday, what if he'd been at someone like Crewe or Accrington or Bury? For them that lost fee could easily be the difference between survival or folding, surely it's the principle that matters rather than the fact it happened to us? 2 hours ago, room0035 said: Its the wider implication that's the issue though, Leicester do it so do Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea. Why is any football team outside of the premier league going to develop young talent when the player can be bought by a foreign feeder club the avoid paying for them. Which is why the loophole must be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
