It could have been hearsay but I did hear they had paid for a top level KC. Gavin Price maybe would have been involved. Know that they did expect a big suspension at the minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say he was decent, no more no less. Would have him back though. Maybe needs a decent run in the team to kick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Was well liked by Price as he was a good professional and did whatever he was asked. That said not sure what his position is and a bit lightweight. Not the worse loan we have had though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo83 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 What's the fee that you guys want for Kane Hester ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Think you’ll have to ask Hester, his agent or Elgin board to find that out. Hopefully Elgin hold out for a decent deal or hold on to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Interesting news that Elgin have pulled out of the North of Scotland Cup and entered the Aberdeenshire set up. Very good news for the youth set up I would say. Gives a link to the 1st team above under 18 level now. Well needed especially with all the comments about struggling to recruit South based players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you have every right to ask for a decent fee,I just hope it doesn't drag out for weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 City need to make a shape at getting put of the bottom tier - at the right end! Consisitency is all very well but 23 years is a bit much! I would have thought at the very least City could hold their own in League 1, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. The Aberdeenshire cups and league is pretty competitive and hopefully will help bridge the gap from Academy to 1st team and give fringe players meaningful game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope if that’s the case that we do not do that. 50k is far too much. That’s a great full time wage for a player for a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Muilleach Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A couple of clubs have enquired about Kane but their offers were "nowhere near" what Elgin are looking for. I'd say £50,000 for a proven goal scorer isn't bad these days, if that is what City are looking for. And before anyone jumps on me for that - I agree that it is a crazy sum, but given what other players are going for, Hester at £50k isn't steep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s £50k plus a club will have to pay his wages which will be another 20 odd grand on top of that. Be very surprised if anyone took that up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told we paid £50k for Rory who was 33 at the time. It worked out well for us. Hester hasn't been as prolific as Rory clearly but is a natural finisher and still in his prime at 27 going on 28. Might sound steep but worth it IF he bags the goals and wins you a promotion (for L1 sides) or keeps you up (Championship sides). If I were Arbroath I'm not sure I would spend the cash on him as @1320Lichtiesays that's money that could be spent on wages for a proven, established player at that level or higher even. Hester in the Championship is more of a risk than Hester in L1. Still think he'll find his way to Gayfield or Links Park over us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
