It was perhaps the stupidest waste of a use of a loan signing iv'e ever seen.

Up there with his misuse of Harrison Reed

5 million? Leicester are pulling our pants down. Would be a bigger daylight robbery than Gallagher 

[callumrovers]

We 100% have some offers out for players in europe after listening to JDT interview.

any ideas….

It's optional isn't it?

If he's no good send him back. If he's firing in goal after goal, get the £5m paid.

Still wouldn't pay it. Leicester can see us coming a mile away.

So if he scores 20 goals in this league you wouldn't be happy about Venkys spending £5m on him?

Crikey, anyone promoting Dikes on here needs to see that miss tonight. Donkey.

U don't mean 5 million for hirst? Not a chance.  Not even worth 2.5 million 

Only posting my understanding, not endorsing it or saying its bad.

If he is rank, we dont need to buy him.

If we'd had a loan to buy for Van Hecke for £5 million last season, im sure the comments would of been similar.

Now £5 mill for Van Hecke aged 22 is a steal

What's your issue with Neophox?

That's twice now with a belittling reply 

 

No issue, just talking nonsense, go on then, do you agree that Hirst is Khadras replacement? I’m also not the only one to comment on the replacement comment. It’s like saying Gallagher is dolans replacement, doesn’t make any sense.

Also makes out as though he/she is in the know, when clearly not.

The new contract is obviously just to stop him walking away for free. The £5m isn’t binding on either party other than being a maximum fee that rovers would have to pay. 

Have I got that right?

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Don't know much about Hirst.  Not the most inspiring sounding signing. However, these taller players don't tend to peak until mid 20s onwards,  when they've got the physique and a bit more know how. 

Hopefully he's a good crosser of the ball🤦🏻‍♂️

Had a look on the Pompey forum - stick with this -  they were disgruntled that Ipswich might be in for him.  Someone on the Ipswich board said that Rovers were in for him and that was Hirst's preferred choice.  Ipswich would be his second if it fell through.

That was back in the middle of July! 

Another one that we've had planned for a while or revisited it would seem.

Pretty much, similar thing brighton are doing with Van Hecke before they'd consider loan

he scores 3 goals and we send him back…I fail to see a downside in this deal

Oh yeah we did but the clown in charge played him right wing.

To be fair, Giles was shit for us in the games he played at LB as well.

Yes but say he scores 10 goals is he worth 5 million? No but I can bet he would be the type of desperation signing rovers would make similar to when rovers overpaid for Gallagher and Brereton.  Brereton worked out eventually but that was at the expense of strengthening other areas of the team

he gave up after his first game when he put half a dozen perfect crosses in only to find out there was no one to head them in,good old tony,his false nine and his 6"4 centre forward on the wing😆

[neophox]

Well time to stay clear two days and see what happens. Good luck GB.

[matt83]

These loan with option to buy are fine by me as far as loans go. I highly doubt a guy with 13 career goals in division 3 will be worth anything close to m £5 million but if he bangs them in then might be value.

If he scores 20 goals then there will be other clubs in for him but Leicester are pulling a fast one.  I suppose there's no harm in trying him out but we would have to be an epl club next season to pay that

[OldEwoodBlue]

So we haven't signed anyone.

Game tomorrow with 3 of the first team out injured.

Thursday is going to need to be busy. I can already feel the anti-climax. Probably 2 loans. Nowhere near good enough.

If he scores 20 goals and enjoys his time here then it doesn't matter if another club offers £300m for him, we could still get him for £5m.
