Gazza_8 233 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 It's the whole PLG transfer rumour saga all over again. We were linked with every French player under the sun in the summer and now because Smith, the Scotland head coach is our new manager we're being linked with every decent Scotland player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I wondered how long it would be until we were linked with Neilson. Its the silly season alright. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 any word on the team/captain ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think Hartley might be the new captain if he does sign. Never realised him and Fergie were friends going back to when they played for the same team as kids. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delbear 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 hartley is a begger bastard .... who hates rangers and thinks of us as "orange bastards" if he signs i wont be back till mr murray goes.......... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Lots of places reckon Hartley will definitely be joining next week which I'm sure will split the fans. I can see why Walter is interested in the guy, but its another one I just can't see happening. As for the DOB quote, I think he did deny saying it and was threatening to sue the paper who broke it last year (The Sun?). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk Jim 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 hartley is a begger bastard .... who hates rangers and thinks of us as "orange bastards" if he signs i wont be back till mr murray goes.......... So we don't sign him cos he's a 'begger bastard' ??? Is it 2007 or 1901? Also, it's Smith signing him, so why this is Murray's fault baffles me too! Taking that nonsense aside, i think he's a good midfielder, but given his age, i'd much rather pump that money into getting a younger player like Brown ... i'm not sure if our club in it's current financial state can go spending 'dead' money (no chance of getting anything back!) of �£1M to �£1.25M on a 31 yr old! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I guess the other side to that argument Jim would be that 1M on a player like Hartley is at least a fairly safe investment. If we signed him or someone else who was 30/31, they could easily play for another 3 years in the SPL. Wages wouldn't be extravagant, so it might be much better value for money than some of the diddies we've signed recently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk Jim 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Aye, i take that point ...... 31 i suppose is hardly ancient, and he is a proven player and a decent midfielder even if some people on here will never admit it Maybe Watty also knows something about Brown and Thomson ... maybe we just (sadly!) CANT compete with the mhanks for their services! If we get a million to get rid of that Sionko donkey, then i guess it wouldn't be bad spent on Hartley! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
