samo II Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I didn't say it did more that its not like he's signing for "his club" and therefore means we're just as likely as them. I was agreeing with you! Don't actually think, especially with the number of midfielders the Gers have that going there would be his best move. And especially if they aren't his boyhood heroes (even less so in Celtic/Rangers case); still could see him coming down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonreds Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Does anyone know how this works? 1530 on deadline day, City put a bid in, Hearts discuss it for an hour and at 1700 the agent is cleared to talk to City. Terms take say 2 hours to agree, that takes us to 1900 - how the hell does the player get time to come and look around to see if he likes the place, setup etc etc? That is without an actual medical taking place....do we get his medical records emailed over and the club docs take a look? I guess if he's had no serious injuries, or smaller ones that reoccur then maybe you take a chance and get the deal signed Does it really happen like that? Surely there has to be more to it than that? Suppose he could've come down and had a look around before, in the hope we had the NM money in the bank to do the deal. God knows, but it's always intrigued me how the late deals are done a always ring lee j or jamie mac as they were both at hearts with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Who would you pick if you were Templeton, City or Watford? Surely a trick question on this forum! But honestly; think Del might have the edge in terms of rep (and Doc too, as he is highly regarded up here) so that might swing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Who would you pick if you were Templeton, City or Watford? Look at the ground. Look at the pitch and stands. Watford is a three-sided ****hole with an acrylic carpet for a pitch because of the egg-chasers. Plus we,ve got Del. No contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Who would you pick if you were Templeton, City or Watford? We'd have an advantage over Watford but what about this Cardiff interest? As much as it annoys me to say it, he'd have to have a good reason not to go to a team in 3rd place with a Wembley appearance in the pipeline...

Jamie Carragher was a diehard Evertonian as was Michael Owen....... As much as we think we hate the gas, we don't hate them as much as Rangers and Celtic hate each other... the thing is, everyone in Scotland is either Rangers or Celtic but a lot of them will primarily support another club. If Templeton is a dyed in the wool 'Bhoy' then I doubt he'd sign for Rangers. If he just identifies with Celtic but grew up supporting, say, Montrose, then I wouldn't have thought it to be a barrier. Plus, I bet we'd offer more wages than Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Can't say I know much about him (only seen him play once) but I like the sound of him and think a talented youngster that Del would know lots about, is the type of player we should be linked with. He also fits in as he is quite adaptable. Thing is I can't see us paying that much for someone this window. Maybe this is who Del ment when he said some deals may be dependant on NM moving. I have my fingers crossed but not that hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodle Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Money talks!

Aye cos we are sending them on loan,the ones that never cut it.Ortiz is already away back to Spain.And Mackay has his old club in Oz back in for him on loan.We already have John Fleck loaned to Blackpool.Bedoya might even get a laon.If somebody comes in for him,to free up the cash.

I would consider our rivalry stronger than Brighton Vs Palace but if a Brighton fan hates Palace as much as i do Rovers, who am i to argue?

Rangers have shipped a few out and will want a 'champagne' signing to compensate the supporters after losing Jelavic. Supporter loyalties don't stop players signing for top clubs even in Glasgow!
