Brommers Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 3 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Please see previous reply It's a shame you've been manipulated into your views on a club LEGEND btw - bit gullible that IMO Am stepping away from the conversation now - will leave you to it You started this and seem very opinionated on the views of anyone who is critical of the Hirst family but failed to enlighten us on the true story. As per my earlier posy, I have no idea what happened but would love to be educated. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyto Alba Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 If it wasn't for his Dad nobody would care. On his own merits I don't think he's much of a loss to us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious George Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I played his Dad in doubles at pool in The Bradway years ago. Me and my mate beat him and his mate, but David was chatting our lass up and I let it go because he's David. In the end, as we won, not sure David was concentrating on the pool or ours lasses ********. George could be my son by proxy. True story. Maybe not the George bit. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheBoyBeevers Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Hirst has 6 goals in 26 games this season playing for one of the best teams in the league. He’s 25. Cadamateri has 5 goals in 25. He’s 18 and plays for a team that creates a chance at goal about once a month. The whole situation was a regrettable mess, but ironically after waiting decades for a home grown striker of any real talent, we’ve had another one- potentially even better- come through already and that’s where our focus should be. 15 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I don't think his value has gone up much at all. He should be near the peak of his value and currently he is valued at around what we paid for Sinton 30 years ago and about 2% of the value of fellow Yorkshireman Haaland. From what I have seen he is a decent if a bit injury prone 2nd division footballer. If they get promoted ( I would love Ipswich to do it ). We will then see if he is good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking at his age, if he had those numbers for us there would be outrage and cries of we need better. I mean Musaba gets grief week in week out with better figures than Hirst. I think Hirst is decent BTW, I also think he’d be better if he’d not wasted the time playing pretend football on foreign lower leagues. But it is what it is. Time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spondon Owl Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I'm not sure how anyone can comment either way on what went down as no one outside of a select few know the details. Either way George has done well and we've moved on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth noting that we are currently (until this takeover completes) at the whim of Chansiri and his ability (or lack of) to retain players Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prendo's boots Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He's turned into a decent striker/front man and has strength and good awareness... and was an important part of the Ipswich squad until he got injured!! I wish he was still here! His goal return is OK there too where they all pop a few in!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think when Leicester came calling you either accept the offer or, if you reject it offer him a contract at his new market value. Chansiri did neither. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He aint worth £3.5m He ain't even worth the transfermkt estimate of £2.5m when you convert the 3.2m Euros they state into pounds. If they do go up he isn't going to get a game unless there's a striker injury crisis... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
