    Just out of interest though how did Hecky’s bad run that lead to him losing his job compared to the poor run SDG had ?

    Why so determined to criticise the deal?
    Just really think we could of got more that's all! Anyway hopefully it can get reinvested and we start to see some movement on the incomings.

    English championship clubs pay huge wages compared to SPFL clubs, apart maybe from Celtic and, to a lesser extent, Sevco.

    They can hoover up all the best players in Scotland so there's no possibility of the leagues being similar in standard.
    Can't be saying that on a public forum.... Mr Dyson will be

    I don't know why you're getting a wee bit grief, I think its fine to have wanted more from the transfer fee received, given the season he had in the Dutch top flight.

    Aye, we’ll probably never know the exact details, just north of a million £ by the sound of it, but I’ll probably always want Hibs to get more from every deal. I'm greedy haha.

    Genuinely hope we are having discussions with S. Fletcher.

    Bowie could learn a lot from him, and it would be a fitting end to a wonderful career.
    Randomly saw him and his Mrs coming outa the primary school next to me on Thursday. West end Glasgow…

    Well if I'm truly honest I was thinking it would be between 2-3 million. Which it obviously isn't! So that's why I'm disappointed. Hibs Observer are pretty close to the club and usually fairly good source so I'd imagine they will be about right with the 1 million fee.

    I just think you would struggle to find a striker at that age who's performed well in a good quality league and get him for a million. Please provide example if out there! The fact that we didn't want him doesn't really mean much to me as the club have come out and said he had lots of interest. I think this means we could have been in a position to drive the fee up further. However, I do understand the last year of his contract hinders the value.

    Fair enough but 2-3 million for a guy who's got 12 months left on his contract? That's wishful thinking. £1m is fair and close to the real figure, plus there's a potential half million more in add ons. A good deal in my opinion.

    With you entirely on this. Definitely worth more.

    Where are you getting the potential half million more from?

    Playing Doidge upfront on his own and failing to recognise the system he was playing didn't work. Although maybe we were too knee jerk to sack him. I am glad he has done well since leaving.

    Give it a rest, you don't know how much he was transferred for, and why would Hibs give out such info when they may well be in the market to buy others, don't think that would be very bright, what do you think?

    Have you ever considered your completely divorced from the reality of the business side of the club?

    I have for myself and know it to be true.

    Time to move on. We were never in a million years getting £2-3m for player who openly didn’t want to come back and is 6 months from being to sign a pre contract with anyone.

    He’s only worth what another club is willing to pay and considering his contract situation it looks like we got as much for him as we could get which has probably seen the club make a profit on him as well … it’s all good! .

    If you have a player that no other club is willing to pay a fee for, is that player worthless?

    we possibly could have ended up just getting a paltry £150k-£200k for Dylan in the Jan Window


    some just need to weigh things up

    apols if already mentioned, Liverpool forked out £40m to Bournemouth for their 21 year old left-back Milos Kerkez

    The problem with Vente was he was perhaps overall 5 goals short of being the subject of a tug war between all these Dutch clubs. Being loaned out last season would have got us a fee and his wages paid. Then what we got today, plus what ever add ons. We have done alright out considering he was free to sign a bosman in December.

    I hope we make more of these Vente and Melkersen signings from the 2nd tier leagues of similar nations. It's a win win, if they play well and score goals then great, but equally if not they can be loaned back to clubs in their nations.

    Only at the expiry of their contract.

    If you have a first choice goalkeeper on a 3 year deal. Nobody is willing to pay a fee for him but he is hugely important member of your squad. Is he worthless?

    In Vente’s case he would have been worthless as after a period of time we would have got peanuts or quite possibly nothing at all for him . I think things have worked out well enough for us on the sale of Vente tbh .
