La Scimmia Rossa Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 It would be nit picking to point out that Hendrie had made over 100 first team appearances, wouldn't it? So 2m quid divided by a hundred appearances x two appearances for Jack hendry equals 40k. If we get 100k i'll be both surprised and happy.

Diego Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 So 2m quid divided by a hundred appearances x two appearances for Jack hendry equals 40k. I'm loving your maths; can't wait for us to pocket £3.6m for Doolan, and £8m for Gallacher (international caps count double, right?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 This Evertonian, seems to think we are getting £1,000,000 for young Jack. Mmmmm! https://mobile.twitter.com/baileydarren1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaf Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Oh, if that Evertonian was right, then imagine the value we have using LSR valuation process...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 yes, let's aim low and be happy with 40k. magnificent mentality. i do like darren the evertonian though. wonder if a swap deal can be arranged? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 If we are serious about our ambitions for a top 6 finish this season then the directors should resign en-masse if they accept £1m for our star play maker, Jack Hendry.

La Scimmia Rossa Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Clearly i'm taking the p*ss. there is no logic to any of these transfer fees. Therefore i'll take 100k. A million quid would be 10 times as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Good luck to the boy if he goes. The club can't turn down anything >£100k but he should be ahead of Frans who has been rubbish so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Everton may have money to spend but that doesn't mean they won't be shrewd with their cash. They will pay what they think he is worth and not a penny more than they have to. £1m for an unproven youngster from a bottom 6 SPFL a team with less than a year left on his contract? Absolutely no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Agreed. £1m is mental, reckon we will get a "six figure sum" which to all intents will mean £100k. And that's still decent for an unproven youngster (who we've only had on the books for a season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Everton may have money to spend but that doesn't mean they won't be shrewd with their cash.

Jaggernaut Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) If we sell Hendry for around 100K, then I think we should seriously re-think whether the entire youth set-up is worth the money that it costs to run it; we're doing nothing other than nurturing young players for other clubs, at our expense. And the fans hardly even get any time to see our best products positively influence our own first team.

Norgethistle Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 So you don't think he's much good, then? We'll probably accept £50k for him paid over 12 installments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think £100k for an untested youngster on a one year contract who we've only developed for one season (after his release from Dundee United) is decent business? Really?

Really? What is "untested?" He's played for our first team more than once and has done more than a good job each time. If you mean he's untested in the English Premiership, then that also applies to any other young players that get transferred from Scottish teams - usually for considerably more than 100K.

ian_mac Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Jaggernaut - the youth system is not funded by the club it is funded by the Weirs. And we can't just scrap it and decide to use the Weirs money for something else. Scrapping the youth system would not make one single penny more available to Archie. All these facts were well publicised at the time so I am surprised you are so misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ian_mac, Thanks, but I'm not misinformed. Well, I would say maybe that I'm not fully informed; isn't the Weirs' funding in place for four years, one or two of which are already up? Then what? I'm fully behind Weir Thistle in principle, but at some point there will need to be evidence of real benefit for the club, I'd think, unless it's really mainly a community project. We need excellent young players to make it as regulars in the first team, not just fringe players who eventually get binned, or sold on for what these days is chicken feed, even if useful chicken feed.

ian_mac Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's not costing us anything to run, and we are apparently about to get £100k for a player who hasn't even played 10 first team games. Yet you want to scrap it now, when we are starting to see the benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 What is "untested?" He's played for our first team more than once and has done more than a good job each time. Shall we start discussing players who have had promising starts to their Thistle career and ended up doing nothing? I'll start you off with Ryan McStay - still one of the biggest disappointments in my time supporting Thistle given how well he started with us. When Jack Hendry puts in consistently strong performances for at least three months then I'll consider him "tested". Lets also remember that we've developed him for just one season - he's not a product of Thistle Weir, he's a guy we picked up who had been released by other clubs who is turning out to be quite promising (see also Steven Lawless, Sean Welsh, Stephen O'Donnell and Aaron Taylor-Sinclair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think the EPL is an abomination and will eventually kill off football in this country. English clubs are buying up players, who have only played a handful of games in a scatter gun approach in the hope that signing so many players eventually they will come up trumps. Having already been discarded by one team Jack Hendry should really be looking to extend his time at Firhill where he will get a game and the experience he needs rather than end up in the EPL slagheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Think that's pretty unrealistic TSJ. Put yourselves in his shoes. He has the opportunity to sign for an EPL team and earn massive money NOW. Playing any longer for a poor team like us could harm his chances. He could get injured tomorrow and be out for months.
