Can this be the new David Gray rumour where he's linked to us every season for about 5 years, until he finally actually signs, is made captain and wins the Scottish Cup?

In fairness Insall seemed tobe progressing nicely at East Fife.

Then he made a stupid choice.

You know, I'd be willing to accept this.... :wink:

Was on his way out, regardless.

Done nothing in his career.. Haha🙈 and no, we would not be able to afford him.

Ryan Gauld has actually done nothing in his career. He moved for more than McGinn. Mental.

He’s 25, played 50 games in Scotland then 37 first team games in 4 years with not a sniff of the national team.

For a bit of context, Allan is a year older, has generally had a pretty anonymous career other than a season and a half at Hibs yet he’s played 156 first team games to Gaulds 87.

I’m not so sure we wouldn’t be able to afford him. He’s pretty much a copy of Allan’s career before Hibs other than Gauld spent his time in the sun.

Edit: Could have sworn I read Gauld was 25 but he’s 22. :greengrin he’s still done very little in his career though.

Ryan Gauld is 22. His club want to at least recoup the money they paid for him anyway.

Aye I’m no sure where I got 25 from.

There’s absolutely no chance of Sporting Lisbon getting the money they paid for him back. They’d be lucky to find many clubs willing to pay more than a nominal fee.

Think they’ll be lucky to be honest.

The money they paid for him was based on his potential, he’s not fulfilled that potential yet and with him being 22 now he’s not got the same potential as he had then. If anyone is paying decent money for a 22 year old they’ll want him to have played more football than he has.

Gauld is 23 in less than a month.
He signed a 6 year contract with Sporting which has a season and a half to run.
No way will Sporting get their money back as things stand, that is unless an idiot English Championship team get involved.
He has had very much the Scott Allan career to date.
His career will start again when he leaves Sporting and could easily end up at the likes of Aberdeen at age 24.

If he went on loan to a Championship club and had a dozen or so decent games, he'd find himself being worth about £20m.

Couldn’t see a Championship club having any interest in him at all to be honest.

Me neither, but is it totally fanciful that someone like Ipswich would take him on a 6 month loan from Sporting, only for him to find he has been well-coached over in Portugal and his game (and fitness levels) were ideally suited to make an impact there, alerting some stupid, big, rich clubs?

For me Gauld is someone worth the Gamble. Pay somewhere in the region of a half million for him and hopefully his value goes four fold. We know he's a decent SPL players and probably has gotten better.

There’s absolutely zero chance of hibs paying half a million on a player considered as a “gamble”

Or a "non gamble" for that matter.

And that's why we will never reach our full potential as a club. As long as the bean counters are more interested in the accounts than the playing side of things, things won't change. Gauld would be a massive signing and a huge show of intent by the club.

Where does it say he is available for that price?

You on the wind up?

How can we afford to pay half a million on one player?

I believe he's based it on what his real team did....

That's why we still have a club to support, because we aren't gambling 500k on players who still have so much to prove. I live in a modest house, I wonder what I could live in if I gambled my money that's meant for the kids Xmas etc

Spend some of the McGinn and Murray money. Really not that much in the grand scheme of things.

If there was such a thing as a sure thing then I might agree but we don't have a great record on transfers where we've pushed the boat out.

It is too much money for us to risk on a gamble.

Already do.... Close to 14,000 season tickets at about £250 a pop.

I suggest you try again with that one.

I’m also wondering how often you’ve seen Gauld play, because very few actually have during the past 4 1/2 years?
