Re: Heats
Most people should remember Danny Ings' performances after his head was turned
The last thing I want is a keeper - regardless of status / history / abilities - staring wistfully into the distance as he runs downs his final year
Too important a position to have someone not 100% committed - I'm not suggesting that would be our Tom - but its still a risk
Hart has now had a full year and pre-season with Billy (in whom I trust) and - like previous posters say - if Pope's injury was anything more than a knock (did I read he's turned an ankle?) - then we wouldn't be entertaining this
Its not always about money - we have to remember that he has watched a colleague rise to the ranks of the World Cup squad - and who has signed a long term deal at the club. Maybe he just wants to play football and thinks his days between the sticks at Burnley are numbered - he did, after all, spend nearly a year behind Pope and Hart once injury free
If someone offered me more money, long(er) term job security and a good chance of playing every week, I think I'd take it

You've said it there CT - we keep him for another year, potentially against his wishesClaretTony wrote:How do you stop it getting to this? It's been clear for some time that he didn't want to sign a new contract and you can't force him to. We could keep him for a further year, potentially against his wishes, or sell him. Not sure what the club can do here.
I've said it before, Heaton should start the season as No 1, with Pope No 2 and Hart should be going. Pope is the future but should wait his turn, Heaton could go next season on a free. If Heaton doesn't like that, then as he's contracted to the club he can go at the end of the season for free and spend all season in the wilderness on gardening leave away from the first team squad with no chance of England call up. If he was faced with that option - he's not stupid enough to rock the boat.
For far to long the tail has wagged the dog in football, I would be making a stand.

Well put AaC I totally agree.alwaysaclaret wrote:Simply offer him the length of contract that villa are doing, I'm guessing they are offering 3 as opposed to our 2 years, Tom is a proven keeper and a very important member of the team, as was said earlier in the thread he is what binds the defence together and they are confident with him behind them, he's a very vocal captain that we should be keeping at all costs, he has at least 2 years in him, and would be a very able back up in he's 3rd year, massive mistake in my opinion. Yes pope is a great replacement but we're in exactly same position as last year, he's injured, so it wouldn't surprise me to be starting with Hart, massive mistake!!

Of course it is.Reecey1987 wrote:Matter of opinion
And the opinion of most of his managers in the last three seasons or so is that he's not good enough to play for them. It looks like nobody wants him now either or he'd surely be gone by now.

I can only assume that Tom made his decision last year, not starting against Southampton hit him hard I believe. Then to be brought back in when it's all going wrong, you can kind of see why hes said...so much for loyalty...I'm off.

Re: Heats
Aston Villa are a bigger club than Burnley and will pay bigger wages. They are spending big and will have a great chance of being successful in the EPL. Maybe TH thinks that the move will also enhance his chances of getting back in the the England team for next years Euros.

You say for a bit but Heaton could have had a reoccurence (remember Charlie Austin just has to think of falling over for his shoulder to dislocate) and we could have been with Lindegaard for half a season.Tall Paul wrote:It was slightly tongue in cheek, but we could have gone with Lindegaard for a bit or signed a keeper that isn't shite.
I'll didn't understand the signing at the time and I still don't.
Clearly most didn't think Hart was shite when he was cleaning up in the potm votes on here.

Re: Heats
Be absolutely gutting to lose Tom, but to sell him to a club that could be a relegation rival is even more so.
If we’d have known last night would have been his last game for us, would the attendance have been more or less?

On a personal note, I don't want Tom Heaton to go. I actually think he's our best goalkeeper by some distance, but he deserves some respect and if he's decided he wants to move on then I think we should give him that respect.
I still hope it is not happening though.

Re: Heats
Unless Pope is 110% fit then this would be madness and £10m a joke. You only have to look at the difference last season when Heaton replaced Hart. We can't afford another season with a first half like last year, we might not recover and we'll lose far more than £10m if that happens.
And that's without taking into considerartion what Heaton would give a possible relegation rival (and that's more than possible if Hart is in goal for us)
The club has to come first and if making Heaton see out his contract is best for the club then that's what we should do.

Re: Heats
Hart should be fine as back up. Before Dyche trusted a young Pope we had Paul Robinson playing as our backup keeper and Hart is miles better today then he was then.
Also if Hart is happy as backup (big if) I think it will be brilliant for Pope to have someone with so much experience working with him day to day

Re: Heats
I want Tom to stay, but given our strength in goal and our glaring gap in cm, we should be far more concerned about the latter in terms of staying up.

I seriously hope the money from the sale of Heats is going towards obtaining a top quality CM,if not then questions have to be asked,
It maybe that Tom wanted to move,which if true leaves the club with little option but to sell.
Hart starting the season worries me,it's vital we have a strong first half of the season,if we're in the bottom 3 at Xmas again,i don't think we'll have another 8 match unbeaten run.
The bigger danger is Dyche becomes frustrated at having one hand tied behind his back,he's a good manager,but he needs the tools to ensure we can be competitive in this league.

Good business £8 million for a 33 yr old who won’t commit to a new contract.
Rather him go than Pope,Hart always going to be back up to either of them.
More than happy with Hart to deputise while pope gets fit.
He had a rough ride last year because as a team we were awful before Christmas and offered no protection at all.

Re: Heats
I’d like to understand way he’s been given so many pre season minutes knowing he’ll be leaving. Especially given the start we made with that clown in goal last season. You’d have thought Dyche would want Hart to learn what his job is. Oh well.

Its ok saying give him what he wants, but if that's 50k a week for 3 years its impossible finances for us. We can't carry 3 keepers in them terms.
Let's not forget he wont be as financially stable due to how, where and when both Tom and the club were when he signed.
He'd be foolish to turn down upto 50k a week for 3 years and a juicy signing on fee, itd probably be more than what hes earned combined in his career to date...
Dont just think about the club in this scenario, think about Tom too.

Not to mention any players we want to bring in now the clubs know we are richer in money terms and the agents know we’ve lost one of our top earners so can offer more wages to their client.... shot ourselves in the foot with this one!

if Pope is even 75% fit, I would play him against Southampton, regardless of his non appearance in the majority of friendlies.
The defence needs that presence and someone claiming the high balls to get over Tom having left.

"The 33-year old England international, who was in the last year of his contract at Turf Moor, becomes Villa’s 12th signing of the summer.
Heaton started Burnley’s last two pre-season friendlies against Wigan and last night’s 6-1 win over Nice. He’s expected to travel to the Midlands today ahead of a medical."

Re: Heats
Absolute stupidity to sell after the start we had last year
Re: Heats
TH wants to play regular football (listen to the goalkeepers union podcast interview if you get chance) it’s his driving force. He doesn’t see any guarantees anymore at Burnley and at this stage of his career he wants to go and keep playing. He also didn’t want to stay to fight with Pope last summer or then with Hart and leading up to the January transfer window there was lots of talk of a move until getting back in the side. Also Our sides/managers mantra is built on competition, hunger and fight if he isn’t committing to that then it’s time for to him go, with a huge thanks.
To me keeping him against his wishes weakens what makes us strong (team unity etc). He was no doubt an excellent captain and leader on the pitch and off it when he was in the side. However you could question (rightly or wrongly) his leadership as club captain prior to Christmas and the form we were in especially when you look at the change in dime players as soon as he got back in.
Do we need that presence around for 12 months just to stop him joining Villa???
I’m a fan, I think he’d better than Hart and I’d love him to sign a new deal and stay but if he doesn’t want to then it’s right to sell and that’s for both us and for him
