George Hirst

[Grappler]

I’ve heard this from a senior person in the pigs academy structure who is a family friend. He says they are basically wasting their time with the youth setup as he wants to play the “stars” who he’s paying the big salaries to. The bloke I know has had years at other clubs with great academies and has brought through 2 or 3 of the current England squad. He says he’s basically just waiting to be told to leave now so he can retire but while they still pay him and he lives fairly local he’ll turn up for work.

I have heard that Leicester are front runners to sign him. They can afford the risk.

Said it before and will say it again, when Cresswell was "booed" onto the pitch, making his first appearance for us, I wanted the ground to swallow me up, It was fuckin' embarrassing from our "fans". The blokes was tough and rugged and never bottled a hard tackle, he got stuck in and scored goals.

Not too mention breaking his leg didn't stop him from scoring against Doncaster

Can Hirst afford the risk though?

yeah it was a mate from "the wrong side" that said it a few times to me. Seems to think it is a done deal? Probably not though.

Well he is doing nothing at the Sty at the minute.

 

[LJBlade]

At the £15k a week they’ve offered him I’m sure he can

Can’t beleive this lad is subject of all the hype.
Over rated to a massive degree. How he managed to get involved with England is beyond a joke.
His England scoring is against Quatar U19s, Japan U19s.
Jordan Hallam has a better scoring record at 18s and 21s but is over looked.

It highlights everything that stinks about the England youth set up.

Bit selective with your scoring record there.

Have a look at the opposition with England. Tells it’s own story. Add Cuba u19s to the list.

In fairness he did score a brace against Germany.

David Hirst was in the same pub as me on Saturday night watching the boxing. I nearly went over and asked him if his son would come to the better side of the city next season.

 

[Liaminho9]

Looks like he's heading to Manchester United - if you believe the Mirror.

And then to Utd on loan??

No compensation either. I'm gutted for them.

From one of the many morons on PorkTalk:

Raises serious questions again about conflicts. Owning multiple clubs, agents deciding who can move where and “adopting clubs”. Managers and players represented by the same company.

Owners trying to buy their way into the PL? Flouting FFP rules? Inventing bogus taxi companies?

Yet people say “you can’t argue with a loop hole”. Isn’t there meant to be a point to developing players and encouraging clubs to do it?

Yes, as most clubs do. Not buying up expensive, overpaid has-beens.

Thank feck, now we can concentrate on players with proven ability who want to be at our club.

Like Forestieri, Fletcher? Fuck me, wait until a few more rats desert the sinking ship.

D-TAXI for Hirst..........

Add Rhodes to that list

 

[BigBed]

Rhodes is the (w)anchor.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Lol!

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a convoluted way of getting him cheap for Leicester - no composure and go in with a bid in Jan or similar. I know spurs tried that trick with fryers too.

I’d be fuming if I was a Wednesday fan

 

[grafikhaus]

Rhodes will go down in history as a Blades legend - like Bobby Davison. The 'Ten-million pound man' who bottled taking a penalty.

I’d be fuming if I was a Wednesday fan

Me too! I'd wonder what the fuck I'd done to deserve it!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Every chance that a major loophole has just been used there.

We should also be looking at Fryers...

 

[finlaytheblade]

Don't think we'd get compensation with him going abroad ,that will URk them!

 

[Torrix1889]

Hirst coming to us would have been amusing but this is even better....getting openly shafted by two of your "legends" for one of the brightest prospects in S6 for years is comical....#laughingstock

The owner of the Belgian club is Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha; founder, owner, CEO of King Power. Make of that what you will. My guess is he'll probably do enough there to earn a transfer Leicester within 12 months

 

[wizadry]

Told you he wasn’t signing their ridiculously high contract offer.

Now where’s that blue peter badge?

 

[Grappler]

Had some cracking beers this afternoon, just come back and read this, fantastic!

North Korea Talk in meltdown, hatred for for former "heroes", Chancer and the CEO woman both had their pants pulled down, rank amateurs

Fuck Wednesday!
