CoveRangers1922 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 1 minute ago, Aidan said: Kane Hester signs, club record fee apparently. Mo, I feel, have missed a prolific striker for years but I can see Kane filling that void. He'll cause defences problems and will take chances if presented. Should be a fantastic signing Intrigued to see how he will partner with Rory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Was heavily rumoured to be joining us but that's some signing and a 3 year deal woof as Archie would say 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 3 year deal and money paid for a player, is something you do not often see at this level unless it’s Falkirk. Any idea what the fee is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what the fee is? Club record fee is £17.5k. So it’ll be something above that as they have stated they have broken a club record fee.

tongue_tied_danny Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'm pretty sure that our previous record was £30k for Jim Smith from Airdrie back in the "free spending" Bryan Keith era. Could be wrong and I'm happy to be corrected though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Big signal of intent. Just hope we're not over-extended £ wise on this and there's some dough left to get a midfielder or two. Presume this means CJ more likely to be away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t had any huge fees that I’m aware of but I’m pretty sure we got 5 figure fees for Martin Rennie and Blair Lyons in the last few years and we would have got a decent amount of money for a club of our size when Martin Boyle went to Saudi Arabia too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo83 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 With Hester on board a think that will be the end of CJ now,can see him moving on from what I've Heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Hopefully Elgin played hardball and got a good fee for Hester. He's still to get his ban from the SFA/SPFL for the betting scandal, along with several current and ex Elgin players and I'd imagine he'll get hit hard, due to it his being a criminal investigation and going as far as court (although he was found not proven.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe he'll get anything less than a lengthy ban, he admitted he took money for getting carded, just that he forgot about the deal during the game and the foul that got him carded was just a coincidence, I'm amazed the jury found it not proven. I wonder if Montrose negotiated a get out clause if he's banned for the season? https://www.northern-scot.co.uk/news/elgin-city-striker-kane-hester-cleared-of-defrauding-bet365-306391/ Edited May 22, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that it has all been dealt with now....But a bit confused by it all myself.If the big wigs were going to do anything would have done it by now?.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz1974 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Just as the Liam and CJ thing gets put to bed, we go and buy another one with trouble looming.... That asides, he might be brilliant! Interesting that the went as far as to say he will partner Rory. which is something we have been screaming out for, someone who thinks like Macallister does.. Could be dynamite! Do you think Gardyne will have to go? To release some cash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
