Adam Rooneys Contract

[starchief]

Why, what's he going to win in England if he doesn't go to Man U or Chelsea? The Chamionship is just the Second Division with a fancy name.

With Hearts, I expect them to potentially challenge next season. As in, a real challenge for first, unless Rangers get some investment. Hearts with Diamond and Rooney, plus the likes of Templeton and Elliot getting more games could really do something (although I'd still prefer Rooney to stay).

Hearts have also a far better chance of winning a cup than Watford or Notts County.

my thoughts too dalneighcaley!

A question, what international platers of major countries play outside the old firm? Basically none, if he wants to progress his career get out of Scotland!

What internationals of major countries even play for the OF?

AR isnt an international of a major country - he is from NI and good as he is, he isnt the best player in the SPL or near it at the moment - may as well stay in Scotland and improve his game, afterall look at Boyd & MacDonald - 2 prolific scorers in the SPL repeated over numerous seasons went down south cant hit the net.

Personally if he decides to leave I hope its to a bigger club where he gets the chance to perform and develop his game whether thats in Scotland or not - always want to see ex-players do well - Robson, Cowie, Black - always get a bit of pride when our team is mentioned as helping them on their way.

Last time I looked, Dublin was very much in Eire (although in the eyes of some this includes NI).

Apologies, wrong side of the Irish border - obviously matters not to me or I'd have been right ;)

Och I live in Canada but you canm call me Scottie too.

What's all this about a development fee if he goes to another Scottish club? What kind of a size fee would that be?

[+CaleyD]

I'm not actually sure their would be a development fee, even if he went to a Scottish club. Something in the back of my mind is telling me that because he came to us after the age of 19 and from another association then he doesn't fall within the criteria.

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

It appears there is if he goes to another club within the same association - so a Scottish club - I think it affects players under the age of 24 and have been at the club a specified number of years and he appears to meet that criteria.

Depending on the size of that fee it may well put a number of clubs off. So if he does leave would seem more likely to be back down south or a potential overseas adventure.

Having said that I would like to see him score a few more goals before he goes (if he goes....)

It's a bit of a minefield......have attached relevant info if you want to try and decipher

Colchester united are very interested in him, there local rags been putting him up in lights, no for sale sign out side his house yet..

[starchief]

Big mistake if he does. Very difficult for even regular goalscorers to get spotted down there. A small pay rise in the short-term could lead to less money and prestige long-term.

Derby and Reading both had scouts at yesterdays game watching Adam .......

[Yngwie]

Butcher has said "it is impossible to be confident" of retaining Rooney.

[Georgeios]

hes off to Tynie,,,,

[Alex MacLeod]

Never trust 'reliable' sources George. Besides, he is still contracted to us till around 25th July so could actually play first game of new season.

[12th Man]

As Hearts have been mentioned how many languages would be spoken in their dressing room?
