pete 2,499 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Charlton boss Les Reed has launched a late bid to hijack former Hearts skipper Stephen Pressley's move to Celtic, and put in a �£3m joint offer for Hibernian midfielders Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown...Manchester City are planning a swoop for Heerenveen's Brazilian striker Afonso Alves. Alves is a player i would love to see Rangers going for. He is fast, strong and can shoot from outside the box. He is top-scorer in Holland at the moment. I believe he is also only 24. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hibernian duo Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson are unhappy at the club's decision to reject an offer from Charlton. Charlton tabled a �£3million bid for the midfield duo earlier this week, but Hibs turned the English club's offer down flat. Brown and Thomson are both looking to sign new improved deals at Easter Road, but they have been told the club will not meet their demands. The two players' agent Willie McKay revealed the duo were unhappy with Hibs' stance as they would both be willing to extend their stay at the Edinburgh club. McKay admitted he was still surprised that Hibs chairman Rod Petrie was constantly ignoring his calls to meet and discuss Brown's and Thomson's situation "The boys are bitterly disappointed," McKay told skysports.com. "Hibs knocked back the chance for both players to sign new improved deals. "The players are in no rush to leave Hibs, but they must give them what they are worth. "They cannot reject a �£3million bid for both players and then refuse to pay them wages worthy of players in that price range. "I've repeatedly been asking Rod Petrie to sit down with me and discuss the matter, but so far he has refused to meet me and the players are confused as to why the club will not do this." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Willie McKay is a shark - money grabbing bastard ! I particularly like his "Hibs knocked back the chance for both players to sign improved deals" comments ? Why should Hibs NOT knock them back. Those same players less than 6 months ago were happy with the contract they were given, the time to complain was BEFORE they signed on the dotted line. It really pisses me off reading about these guys who sign contracts and the ink is barely dry before they are hunting for more cash. In this case though I blame McKay ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I actually hopw we go for Scott Brown, we need an injection of pace in midfield, it takes him seconds to get from box to box. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think both players were idiots signing new contracts in the summer. There was a load of speculation around them and if they wanted the dosh they should have sat tight on their current contracts which with only a year or so to run would have put them in a more commanding position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Willie McKay has come out and spoke of his anger at this bung enquiry thing that Lord Stevens did. Sounds like a guilty boy to me! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
