Owlstalk Posted 29 May 2020 Posted 29 May 2020 How is he doing for you? I noticed he'd started scoring goals for your U23's? Have you seen him play yet? What are your thoughts on him?
urban.spaceman Posted 29 May 2020 Posted 29 May 2020 Seems to be thriving now he's in the U23s - 12 goals and 3 assists in 20 games; he's now training with the senior squad and might get some game time now that the youth leagues have been called off. He didn't have a great time at Leuven with Uncle Nige but they were struggling a lot last season anyway. Being with a senior squad in Belgium and not being frozen out does seem to have helped his development though. All in all, exciting young player with hopefully a big future.
Fox92 Posted 29 May 2020 Posted 29 May 2020 Seems to be scoring for the U23s and with that form should be looked at for the first team soon.

What are your thoughts on him? He has looked too good for U23 level which isn't a surprise but where that puts him in terms of being good enough at 1st team level is debatable. We have a tendency to hang on to young players and not get them out on loan as early as possible and then by the time they're 22/23 it's too late. Hirst needs 1st team football all of next season at a bare minimum, unless he somehow gets a chance in our 1st team and then we decide to include him as a player to compete with Vardy and Iheanacho. Seems to have a similar skill set to Harry Kane as in he's not exceptional in any 1 part of the game but seems to be very efficient at various parts and knows where the net is. Obviously at a much lower standard so far.
ALC Fox Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 I'd like to see him on loan in the Championship now he's back in the country, settled, and banging them in at U23 level.

GingerrrFox Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 I fancy we might see George feature as soon as Champions League is guaranteed. He has attributes Brendan really values in a striker.

To ask how George Hirst is getting on after the dodgy way he joined us. You're right, it was a silly question

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 He's probably the palest footballer I've ever seen and I remember Stoke's entire PL tenure.

Kind of yeah He's gone from all time hero and everyone's favourite ever legend to a mixed bag now. Some people still outright love him but many think he's a money grabbing dad who's spoilt his kids chances at Wednesday and ran off, and aiding Wednesday to get screwed over on the transfer of George. Personally I know David well and to me he'll always be the legend, the best striker we've ever had, and I can see both sides of the transfer from Wednesday to you guys totally, especially given a massive fallout between the Hirsts and the Chansiri's which led to George being banished from training at the club.

It's widely viewed that something happened at the club between his dad and Chansiri, which led to a huge fallout, George got banished, and then I think the agents got involved, Nigel Pearson is a good mate of David Hirst and things just went absolutely whacky. On Owlstalk (our site same as this one) it went absolutely NUTS. Totally bezerk. Threads went on and on and on with fans absolutely livid, like their girlfriend had just ran off with their best mate. I was more disappointed than angry at how George left. I was disappointed because he was a real prospect smashing goals in against pretty much any team put in front of him at U23 level and international levels. There was a massive stubbornness from our chairman, mixed with a defiance from George and his people which led to the most controversial moves away from this club in my lifetime

It's hard for me to say what I really want to regarding Nigel Pearson, David Hirst, the massive bust up with Chansiri, the move from SWFC to Leicester, and the max damage impact possible on the SWFC chairman regarding the transfer fee ha ha. But you get the idea...

Maybe one or two more max with 'talk' in the title/url etc Other clubs boards have different names/styles/software. This one is the best though.
