Superstar Tradesman Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 With the roll of games coming up and the possible cash insentives for the club (and personally for Hart I suppose), I'm indifferent whether he leaves now for cash or plays to the end of the season. Happy to get the £200k or happy that it'll keep our squad together during the cup runs and league position which'll give us more time to replace him.

BigAl Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 There is no way we'll get £200k for him now, morel ikely to be buttons. Hart and PNE are holding the aces now unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the display that 'Mare put in on saturday I'd happily forego the £100-150K we might rangle out of them just to avoid that spectacle again.

Keep him and leave Nightmair out or sell him for whatever we get outta the cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee toon red Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Interesting decision to choose Preston over Plymouth. Might well be joining up with a League One side at the end of his Dons contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Peacock Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Actually - the more i think about it, the more i think it might be a good idea to hang on to Hart until the end of the season. For us to go into the CIS Cup semi final, a potential Scottish Cup run, the Bayern Munich matches (Not expecting a further UEFA cup run - just wanting to save humiliation!!), and the league run in with Sir Lee Mair at right back, the more i think we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot. I've got no doubt he'd give 100% for the cause, and if he helps us in these competitions, it's be worth far more than the 175k that we're talking about getting for him in January. Also gives us time to seek a decent replacement instead of just getting someone in for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Preston are spending to try and dig themselves out though. I'd expect to see them crawl out of the bottom (so to speak). Inclined to agree with Drew about Hart. Keep him and possibly get the benefit of a player who is determined to leave with a bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the last few games I'm inclined to agree wi him too but I am not comfortable with playing players who are not wholly commited to the club.

CtS Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I dare say Hart would be as determined as any other afc player to end the season with a cup winners medal in his hipper. Especially if it's a uefa cup one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only niggling thing at the back of my mind that i'm not totally comfortable with either - however i get the impression from Hart that his situation wouldn't change his committment on the park.

BobbyBiscuit Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 After the last few games I'm inclined to agree wi him too but I am not comfortable with playing players who are not wholly commited to the club. have the same view, I think Hart would give it his all but there must be a niggling doubt at the back of any players mind in a similar situation when a 50-50 is there to be won. Unfortunately, I think it's probably best we agree compensation with PNE and part company with him. He's been a good player for us and i'm very sad to see him go to be honest, but it's really time for everyone to move on from it. Also, you know there will be a few bellends who'll give him abuse if he continues to play for us. That doesn't achieve anything for us and we can do without it.

One huge point to be made here though. The automatic replacement it seems is Nightmair. A potentially less than wholly commited Hart HAS to be a far superior option than a completely useless Mair.

Drew Peacock Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 My solution - buy Steven Hammel and put Ricky Foster in at right back in the meantime. My biggest fear in all of this is that our dire need for a proper left back is forgotten about as we look for a replacement for hart at right back.

Hammell still has 2 knock backs to give us unfortunately. Byrne ain't a full back and despite some very good showings there, neither is Foster.

CtS Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 For me Hart's defensive capabilities are not in any doubt, just his ability to put in good crosses. Our defence needs to be solid. Can anyone remember what the spl prize money is, does it not increase about 200k per position in the league? I say keep him until May. Unless a suitable replacement can be sourced.

Penfold Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'd be far happier is Hart stayed till the end of the season, unless Jimmy has a good replacement waiting to come in as we don't have any sufficient cover atm. People seem to think now he's leaving he'll be sticking in own goals left right and centre. Plenty of players have played for us in the past when they've known they are going. As someone said above, he'd probably be one of the most determined players to get a medal if he stayed until the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall Jimmy saying finishing 6th or finishing 4th doesn't have any financial benefit to the club(unless of course it meant Uefa Cup) as the additional prize money is mostly put into player bonuses.

Kowalski Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Slight delay in his move after results of the MRI scan. Could be out for 6 weeks, Preston to re-negotiate the fee. http://www.pnefc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10362~1224721,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
