Broken Algorithms Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Give the lad a chance. We don't know the lay of the land. Bambino claims we've put a contract offer down and that Vaughan was keen to sign. It's still early days yet. We'll see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Going by our past dealings with Hearts there'll probably be no fee involved and we'll get a pre-season friendly with them instead. The academy is a potentially good set up but not if we're losing players before even getting the benefit of them being in the first team. I've also got this awful feeling the Vaughan will be off in the summer. I was talking to a Hibs fan who believes that Vaughan will be off to Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Vaughan, as good as he is, wouldn't get near the Hibs team just now, and he's even less chance if they go up. Hopefully he gives us another year and then he can do as he pleases tbh. After next season he won't owe us anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very dissapointed in him if he didnt give us another season at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 He'll probably go and sign for the pars now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) There's absolutely no telling just how Vaughan will be after he comes back from this injury, I can't see a team like Hibs offering him anything until next season at least after they monitor his performances upon returning.

HoBNob Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hope he stays, obviously, but he's only got one career and he has to do the best thing for it. People seem to forget this when thinking about football players. Likewise all this talk about Raith being loyal etc to him, it would give them an absolutely horrendous image if they'd just dropped him! I've just done my knee and I'm waiting on the MRI results to get back and the physio said it could be the ACL, it makes you appreciate how quickly and innocuously these things can happen, Lewis will be very aware that this is his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Where does Mackie play? Is he a left back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Where does Mackie play? Is he a left back? Yes but can also play left wing I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Mackie plays mostly at LB but played LW in his ladt game at Starks Park against Stirling. I doubt we'll get a lot for him as Hibs only gave St Mirren £100,000 for McGinn, £30k for Sean maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sounds like Scotland's answer to Gareth Bale! Hope we do insert a sell on clause, even if it's 10%, not going to put off buyer and a risk free shot at us getting some money in a few years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_Munrover Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I read we have requested a 5 figure sum for the young lad and hibs have matched it...... Hopefully what we get will cover Aiden Connolly's wage for next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_Munrover Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I reckon they could get £30k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Unsure now saying a five figure sum could be £10k is being a smart arse...? Regardless, good luck to the boy, he clearly has some potential. Shout to whoever does our football manager stats as well, because he always goes to Hibs or Rangers in the first season on there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 When a fee is described with something as vague as a "five figure sum" it is almost always because the fee is something like £10 or £15k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I read we have requested a 5 figure sum for the young lad and hibs have matched it...... Hopefully what we get will cover Aiden Connolly's wage for next season It's probably churlish to complain about our youth system, given it's finally started delivering players to the first team (Vaughan, Callachan, Bates) but it's depressing that we just give up on this guy, and let him go. I guess the superior development set up at Hearts and Hibs means he'll likely progress better, but it'd be nice to have seen this guy go on and do a job for us. You never know, we might have been able to sell him on for proper money later.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im dissapointed and worried that the system becomes a "produce players for Hearts/Hibs to buy" rather than for the first team. I'd love to see some of these guys get a wee run in the team, perform for a season THEN get their move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
