paranoid android Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) This was always on the cards - Hickey's faither has been in his ear for months. To be fair, you can see why you maybe wouldn't want your laddie to move abroad at this time, but a gig at a club like Bayern is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He'll end up in the same glue factory as Soapy-tit-w**k. Same as it ever was. Edited August 24, 2020 by paranoid android 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 They're celtic fans, mind. Celtic fans or not they’d have to be fucking stupid to tell their son to turn down clubs like Bayern and Man city to sign for an SPFL Premiership team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hickey obviously doesn't want to be at a non elite club.But it's heartening to pop way down here and see the junior **** still hurting and seething at everything Celtic.Magic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes got zero chance of ever playing for Bayern, so its down to whether you think training, and playing, for Celtic is better for his development than spending years training, and playing, for Bayerns B side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they could, but he'd run the risk of "doing a Gauld", and going from a promising young kid getting match experience every week, to guy in his 20s whos miles behind his peers in terms of match experience as hes spent the past four years effectively playing reserve games. He'd be better spending time at a middle tier club, where he can still play regularly, and then jumping up to a top level club. Given the choice I'd think a career path similar to Robertson (move to low end EPL/top end Championship side, move on to top level club) would be better than either Bayern or Celtic, tbh. If you strip away all top flight game time then you're holding them back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about progression, IMO. Hickey needs to continue to play senior games now hes been doing it regularly. Theres no doubt he'd become a better player at Bayern than anywhere else, but he'd likely lose years of his career there. 2 minutes ago, Empty It said: I agree but if the options were exclusively Celtic or Bayern it would be mental to go with Celtic, also dont think he would get in the Celtic team either, so not playing at Celtic or not playing at Bayern. Hard choice... Alphonso Davies or Greg Taylor. Quite clear where hes most likely to breakthrough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaba was still playing there at an older age than Hickey is. As was Schweinsteiger. As was Kroos. As was Muller. They've had not too bad careers. What does lining up against the likes of OHalloran or Seedorf give that these guys all missed out on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did it before then he knew he'd have a week off so he pushed himself too hard. Or if it happened after on his own; he would never have injured himself with the expert coaching available at Hearts. Either way its the SFA's fault.

Smith's signed for Colchester tonight. He's actually an English lad but spent time out in NZ as a kid so opted to play for the all whites. Tommy's a family friend and he was always unlikely to sign for Hearts. His wife's pregnant and they opted to move back to the UK from Colorado Rapids to be closer to family. He's Ipswich based so was really looking to stay in the area although I did here he was very keen on coming north but had to put family first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
