Seems like we've used either Bowman, ATS or Bigi's money to "secure" Maguire, Scott and Hastie. Fucking deal m8. Edit: given we've not announced this I take it they've not officially signed up. Either way it's a pretty different tone compared to when he was being asked about Turnbull. If there's not a 'young team' video announcement in the next week it's a missed opportunity IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Robinson confirming in his post-match interview that moving on Bigi has allowed us to offer the contracts to Hastie, Scott, Maguire and tie down Turnbull.

well fan for life Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Sometimes I watch David Turnbull and just want to tell him to behave. What an outrageously talented footballer he is. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Really wish Jake Hastie would stop doing things like that until he signs a new deal. The Turnbull contract saga already took years off my life expectancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we all assumed that Bigi was one of the bigger earners - but if Robinson's statement isn't an exaggeration, then it shows what a decent transfer window we had even if we didn't sign many players.... Now that Bigi has gone, Sammon is probably offering us the least value for money.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Motherwell looking excellent in the highlights of late - I can't believe that top six is a prospect after the start you had to endure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Bigi has gone, Sammon is probably offering us the least value for money.. That's the one caveat I'd have tbh. He's maybe not on McGhee levels but I've noticed Robinson's developed a tendency to lean towards hyperbole recently. Either way it's not a massive leap to make to think that getting Bigi off the books could add a decent amount on to Hastie, Scott and Maguire's current basic and at least contribute to whatever bump Turnbull got. Which would clearly be good value. re: Sammon, absolutely nothing against the big man. We took him on a season loan and it's one of those that we really just need to take on the chin and hope Robinson learns from it. Seeing he's not been in a squad since the Hibs game and the fact that Scott seems to have taken his place (which makes sense as Sammon's not our player and Scott is) I wonder if that's a conversation we've had ie: if he sticks around then Scott will be taking his place on the bench with a view to the future and Sammon will really only be cover for injuries/suspensions. It seems clear we were looking for someone to take over his loan but if those who were interested were the likes of St. Mirren, Falkirk and Thistle then I can totally get why he'd not fancy the hassle of moving to a relegation scrap if his other option is seeing out the season with us. He'll be getting paid his Hearts wage in either circumstance and one scenario is clearly less stressful than the other. Edit to add: Declan Gallagher lads...so which of Aldred, Dunne and Hartley will be on their way? (Acknowledging Aldred's only here on loan) Edited February 7, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke92 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Don't want to get too carried away but I think we could have serious players on our hands in Turnbull and Hastie. Both seem to have very good strength to match their technical ability, something that is much sought after in the game today. The Scottish Youth Cup winning side appears to be really bearing fruit. Exciting times ahead, it is wild how much football can change in a few weeks. On Gallagher, it's encouraging to see that we are looking forward to the summer with so many guys out of contract. Livingston have a few boys out of contract and a lot of them represent very good value for money given they are reportedly on buttons. From what I have seen of Gallagher he looks decent and has a decent pedigree starting at Celtic. Potentially could be a replacement for Hartley, I am still hopeful we will tie down Aldred to a permanent deal. Craig Halkett is another who has really stood out for me but I would be surprised if there is not bigger clubs in for him. One thing the last few months has taught us however is that we have a very talented crop of young boys at the club and should never under estimate the boys coming through from the youth team. Hopefully the likes of Maguire, Scott and Livingston can emerge in the next year or so as well. There's something special about having young Scottish especially local boys coming through, really enjoyable to see just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
