    I’m guessing all the old owners that were thrown into jail for corruption after the Gazza money laundering era have all been released recently? The amounts the Italians are throwing about the now is mesmerising (not talking solely about hickey but as a whole)

    Don't know if I would want him but definitely wouldn't be spending £4m on him.

    He's only played 11 games this season, maybe for 2.5 million but not 4.

    Alarm bells ringing for me as he just joined them this season and why would they sell unless they think he's not good enough and a bomb scare .

    I've never been overly impressed anytime I've seen him which admittedly isn't a lot

    I'm sure the 4M is in euros. So a starting price closer to 3.5 and probably a real price around 2.5 to 3

    I thought we should have bought him after KT left tbh, not sure how he's got on in Italy but looked a decent prospect at hearts.

    Why the * we never bought him from Hearts is a mystery when we had loan players playing in that position and doing *,can play both wings too,our recruitment has been a joke for too long.

    While I don't know much about Hickey, I think everyone agrees with your opinion on recruitment.

    The fact that we sold three wingbacks for a combined £35m+ and brought in two for under £6m and another two loans shows it. The players leaving would be hard to replace but the replacements are no better than some in our youth teams. Really poor recruitment and we wouldn't have been any worse with not paying out for them.

    Being conservative is costing us and the board can't see it.

    We're trapped in a never ending cycle as the board don't want to over pay for a player in case they fail. The ones they do buy fail and this reaffirms that they don't want to over pay for players in case they fail.

    Pay peanuts, get monkeys. There's value for money out there but your scouting has to be great or lucky, which ours is neither.

    Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we were in talks with Hickey but he choose Bologna because they guaranteed him first team football.

    4m euro is definitely too much considering his limited game time.

    Would definitely still welcome him back though.

    3m euro, 30%sell on, done deal.
