Don't think you can compare him.and Vardy, Vardy accepted he wasn't good enough when he was released, Hirst wanted a better offer based on his potential. Yes it wasn't handled well by either side, but his mate at the time at United who was his partner up front for England was getting more game time and a better deal yet Hirst at that point was supposedly the bigger prospect. Just cos he, his Dad and Pearson are Wednesday fans doesn't mean they wouldn't put their career and livelihood first. I don’t begrudge him putting his career first, but I do have a issue with what they did. It’s like when any of us leave a job, you can do it the right way or you can leave under a cloud. There is no disputing the club lost out with the Hirst situation, and as Hirst showed in the following season after he left, he still wasn’t ready. I’m not a Chansiri fan and he is definitely partly to blame, but so are the rest. Edited April 30, 2022 by Stevelknievel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 2 centre forwards on show today is he in the same class as Gregory? Not in a million years. One is 23. The other is 33. At 23 Lee Gregory was playing non-league for Halifax. Hirst has plenty of years ahead of him. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason George Hirst decided to move on. Good luck to him, think he will make a decent lower league striker, he is still learning. Anyway hopefully we won't be in the lower leagues and will want better players to match. If wasn't for the fact he was the son of the best center forward the club ever had. Time to move on we have bigger fish to fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 23 and he looks great, he’s scoring goal, quick, good football brain on him, brave, passionate (was fuming after the 4th goal) and he’s a tall physical presence now. We need to ship Sow and Kamberi out and bring a Hirst type and a top championship striker in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll never know the full story, but it seems to be accepted that he was offered a very good contract for a youth player, the best we've ever offered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened was very much to the detriment of Sheffield Wednesday and at the end of the day I’m a Sheffield Wednesday fan, not a George Hirst fan. You don’t have a problem with it and that’s fair enough, each his own. I do so just agree to disagree. I don’t think as a club run currently by Chansiri we can complain about a club taking advantage of legal loop holes . Ground sale to himself, d taxis etc etc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thought we would match it, we didn’t . He took the money, you would have, I would have. At the end of the day, he loves Wednesday, his dads my hero and he’s ready to play football at the level we are at. He’s on a free, he’s 23, sign him up….for the Wednesday. !

BridportOwl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 There seems to be some sort of presumption that we only need to come knocking and Hirst would join us in a heartbeat. How much do Leicester value him at? How much money would we have to spend on transfers? Would he even want to come back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, let me try again using slightly fewer syllables to make my comment easier for those with less brain cells than Hirst scores goals today or those just looking for a fight! I didn’t have a problem with the lad but thought his goal celebration today was a bit unnecessary and it turned fans like myself who didn’t have an issue with him against him! It not complicated and I really don’t care, I just think it’s a shame that all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase ' best we have ever offered ' may be 100% accurate and true That doesn't mean it's good though It just means it's the most that WE have ever offered Historically our contracts for younger players have been really really really REALLY awful 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
