I could see Aberdeen, at a push, spending £500K on Boyce given their league finish and cup runs, and the money that will have brought in - as well as their obvious desire to improve their squad - but I would be amazed if Hearts were to do such a thing, even given their previous.
I don't think for one second that we would spend that amount on him, but wouldn't be over the moon if we did (though I would make my peace with it, obviously!) - too much of a risk for me.
FWIW, we already have a free scoring centre forward - certainly wouldn't say no to another one though, obviously.

Lennons previous transfer have went from one end of the spectrum to the other.
At Celtic he had the most money in the country to spend on players, at Bolton he had none and had to keep saving on the budget and skip and save on players.
So its hard to judge, will be interesting to see how he gets on at us, imo hes done well soo far with his signings.

This will be an interesting season from a signing perspective. I think all of Lennon's signings to date have been short term appointments? Of them, we're only looking to offer deals for Rocky and Effe.
Despite this, most have been decent enough and were probably what we needed to achieve the no.1 aim of winning the league this year.
This season should be different cause we're not trying to win the league, and there is more scope to start building a team for the future. Having said this a lot the names linked to us seem to look like short term in nature due to these players being in their twighlight years except Stokes.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have no issue with brining in good quality 'experience' to supplement a squad that is already decent and has decent youngsters primed to be promoted in to the first team. Whether or not Lennon brings through the youth at the same time remains to be seen.

As a manager one of the biggest gambles you make are signings and ultimately Lennons career will be defined by how good his signings are.
With that in mind it doesn't make sense for him to gamble on players he doesn't know if players he knows are good enough are available. Not only will he know their abilities on the park but he'll know the personalities and work ethic of them as well, you just cant do that with players you scout or watch from afar.
I've changed my tune a bit from earlier but I can totally understand why we might be after a lot of ex Celtic players and I don't blame Lennnon for going down that route.

Lennon is on BT tonight and made a joke about being linked with all these ex Celtic players when they were talking to him earlier. Not hearing much is good imo, means we're keeping who we're looking at quiet which makes it easier to get them

Just heard that. Kelvin Wilson "speculation ". Lennon saying he spoke to him at Christmas when we had a CH crisis. Sounds unlikely now. Lennon saying top 6 first priority but indicated we should be aiming for "best of the rest" I.e. Second place.

Lennons trying to build a team capable of winning second place....it wouldn't bother me if we had half a team of ex celtic players.......just like it didn't bother celtic when they had half a team of ex hibs players

Watching Luke Leahy just now. A player I've always liked & out of contract I believe.
