For me he'll be an integral part of their team. I think he will be. At utd he scored 8 in 82. He's a confidence player and season before last he wasn't as prolific either. Much more competition at Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with players signing pre-contracts (although I think they are a weird an unnecessary mechanism in a system that is already weird), but I think it's always best for all parties if they aren't made public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now 28 and in his prime footballing years. Comparing the 2 is pointless and unfair on the player. Given the that 7 years have elapsed and he has had 3 clubs since then its fair to say he is now much more experienced. Hearts are clearly getting a much better player than the one United had. As for spending the money on KVV, I think we have done that one to death. We need to maximise the value for money we can get. KVV no longer represents that due to what he now earns. Too much risk attached for the cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 The thought of season ticket money going to signing Andy Halliday for next season is a complete sickner. Him and Nicholson are both miles away from being fit enough to play in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a Hearts player so we can pull the deal. You can't have a guy like that in the team, he's in the Butcher/Obika zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe stop hanging players out to dry because I'm not here for that. We have far worse players than Halliday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have a guy like that in the team, he's in the Butcher/Obika zone. Of course we can. The deal was that he was on loan here until the end of the season with the option of us signing him permanently from the summer onwards. We don’t have to take that option up and if he’s not fit enough then you’d certainly like to hope that we wouldn’t. I suspect he will retire from playing once this season is over anyway so it won’t be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I hope we don't sign halliday for next season and the same goes for retaining the likes of butcher and obika,no harm to them but these guys are in there 30s and there never going to get upto speed after an injury like they would have done a few years ago.with the budget the manager will be working with next season we can't afford any passengers and players that struggle to keep themselves fight from one week to the next.

Ah right. So Motherwell shouldn't sign players in their 30s. Should we not have signed Tommy Coyne and Davie Cooper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
