Popular Post paulrs Posted April 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2022 Looking at the goals he’s scored this season, the fact he’s stayed fit and he’s only 23 you’d have to say he’s a better option than ANY of the strikers we have right now. 7 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A permament club and regular football is exactly whats needed. Or his career will end up drifting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Could be available on a free in the summer (on a serious note, I doubt Chansiri would ever be able to give him a contract after what happened, although to be honest, knowing the Hirsts semi-personally I know that George would've definitely come to Wednesday ahead of Pompey in the summer) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Time to let bygones be bygones - he's coming home! Unless we go up and then Pompey are welcome 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 George Hirst this season has had his breakthrough year by that I mean the year he’s found himself in senior football he seems to have bulked out and looks more developed for the leagues now it’s now he forged his career in the game taking the Wednesday factor away do I think George Hirst as part of a pool of strikers at Wednesday would be a good move, yes at 23 he’s got loads to give in his game and it wouldn’t be a bad replacement longer term for the ageing Gregory he’s certainly offers more than a kamberi id take him however is there too much stigma, drama, muddy water here for Hirst to come in and flourish, yes. Many won’t accept him many will turn if he doesn’t produce instantly or has a drop of form the pressure for him to succeed here will be ten times greater than at any other club due the history and comparisons to his dad His dads sour relationship with the club won’t help it’s just best to leave Hirst the player that could have been or the pantomime villain which ever way you see him in my opinion can’t argue though the lads looked an handfuls this year my guess is he will score 15 maybe 20 plus next year with regular game time and be worth something so if he goes to pompy on a free they could be looking at a nice windfall in 12-18 month time 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 11 goals in a season where he’s played most games. Would be a good signing for this level and Pompey should be able to pick up a striker of his quality for around £350k. Makes sense for all parties.

yeadonowl Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Watched most of this game last night Up until the assist, which was excellent by the way, the game generally passed him by Only thing of note was a shot that went into row z As for Rotherham, they were very 1 dimensional. Lots of aimless long balls trying to pick out Smith up front. The loanee winger from Arsenal seemed to be their best outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I honestly didn't think he was going to flourish after he went to play in the Belgian league and hardly scored any goals, not sure he netted at mini pigs either but he's proved me and a loads more and tbh Chansiri has made ANOTHER mistake there not offering him a better contract. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think dc did make a mistake, he wanted first team wages and time has shown he was several years and a league higher away from being a first team player back then... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoesJackHunt Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Just bring him back if he's scoring goals. He's a Wednesday supporter who had his head turned with a big money contract. He would have been stupid to turn it down and his Dad's connections in the game help him set himself up for a comfortable life. What happened is completely forgivable in my mind and happens all the time in the modern game, that's just football. He now seems to be the perfect profile for the type of striker we need, young and scoring goals at the same level our club is currently at. On top of that he has a passion for the club If he's affordable and available we should throw our hat in the ring in my opinion. now.....where did I put that tin hat !?

Spot on...Hirst jnr had an opinion of himself that was much higher than his level, to a point he even refused loan spells at teams in League 1 & 2 at the time, which is part of any youth team players development!! I don't think he received the best advice from his advisors either but he's finally done what he should have done when he was with us. He's found a level that he's comfortable at and he's learning the ways of first team football in a very competitive league. Where he goes from here, I suppose that is up to him but it is a crucial stage of his career now and this summer will no doubt shape the next 4/5 years for him.

Yep and ironically now either fighting for promotion in league one or survival in championship next year we would be an ideal suit for him.. Wont hold my breath..

@owlstalk Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 So many people happy to suggest they know what George Hirst thought or is thinking or trying to make out they know exactly what went off when Hirst was offered contracts or wages But they dont Dont fall for their attempts to convince you they know what went on or why Hirst left 4 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
