*Pretends to be shocked*

 

Also can’t wait for the meltdown from Sheff Wed fans when they catch wind of this again, they went crazy when he originally joined Leuven as it was so obvious what we were doing

[urban.spaceman]

*waits for Sheffield Wednesday’s outrage*

 

[Ashley]

Was always going to happen, he wanted out of Sheff Wed and going to OHL was a loophole in not paying compensation because they didnt meet the criteria of a graded club.

So this guy end up being pretty good for Leuven? I heard he wasn't that good and that is an amateur league.

[brucey]

So a free transfer then? Or an "undisclosed fee"

He was rubbish there according to Leuven fans. But if Loft can get a gig with our U23s I'm sure Hirst can too

[Mark_w]

Disgraceful. 

[filbertway]

Based on what the Leuven fans said, he will be a Beaglehole wet dream

[sylofox]

shock signing of the summer

[Ric Flair]

Hahaha he was absolute doggo at Leuven as well, this hasn't really gone to plan and the reputation we will get from this is unlikely to be worth it.

Actually does sound like he's muck so might have been better leaving him there.

[ozleicester]

well thats unexpected

[Aus Fox]

And the mystery striker signing, is no longer a mystery!

Welcome George!

Yeah, given as he's unlikely to ever be anywhere near good enough for our first team, I'm not really happy on potentially getting a transfer ban for this somewhere down the line. A couple of the big clubs recent transfer bans have stemmed from dodgy youth players transfers.

[lgfualol]

Now I really want him to succeed. Come on George, defy Beagle's tactics and get into our team pal

[Aus Fox]

Imagine all this hate then he comes on late in the season to score the goal that sends Sheffield United down.

All is then forgiven.

[Finnegan]

God I hope we get them in the league Cup, he comes on and scores a winner. 

[surrifox]

I don’t recall seeing anything about Wednesday’s dodgy ground sale . What was that all about ?

[davieG]

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells

[Guest SO1]

Don't know anything about this. So he's going to France with the team and comes back to be loaned somewhere else. Whatever.

If your going to put him and Ryan Loft in the same sentence then he has no chance.

[Tielemans63]

To be fair, I can see why the Wednesday fans are fuming. It does seem very underhanded. That said, we haven't broken any rules.

[TiffToff88]

Looked like a very promising talent in his time at Wednesday and was even linked with a move to Man U at one point wasn't he?

 

I think it would be harsh to judge him on the opinions of Leuven fans as the guy was playing in a foreign league he probably knew very little about and didn't speak the language. Not to mention the club having a manager with the same problems in Sir Nige.

 

Lets see how he gets on with our Under-23's before we decide he's not going to be good enough!

[Foxxed]

Our Leuven posters don't rate him. Hope he comes good.

 

Isn't there a backstory to this? Hirst wanted out, Wedneaday refused to let him go and benched him in spite for six months, eventually resulting him joining Leuven. And his dad, once a prominent member of Wednesday's staff, has severed links with Wednesday? Have I got that right?
