I quite like the idea of it, twitter is full of bitter Aussies saying he's too good for us. But he's a good age, involved in the International setup and was just at the Olympics. Seems to me we are deliberately attacking a new type of market with him and Beni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me we are deliberately attacking a new type of market with him and Beni. I'm just feeling a bit burned by the signings of Garuccio and Bozanic from the Oz leagues, if they're an indicator of the standard - I still have a soft spot for Bozanic as he was a grafter, and Garaccio was unfortunate with injuries - ultimately, neither was really good enough for what we need. He'll have to be better than them. Also, it's another defensive midfielder, and we're crying out for someone with a spark of creativity, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Quite highly rated by the looks of reports on him, in the Olympic squad. I like the idea of targeting younger players who can improve but you'd have to assume that's not good news for Haring and that guts me.I’m hoping it’s bad news for Halliday rather than Haring. Handsome Pete must stay… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I assume Haring and/ or Souttar will be injured by Christmas for the rest of the campaign. Cammy Devlin has signed (visa pending) and he scored a real fuckburner once so I’m all for that https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/watch-incoming-hearts-signing-cameron-devlin-in-action-as-he-scores-a-screamer-3335079 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozanic arrived after a globe trotting journeyman carreer taking in switzerland and Japan. He turned 30 during his first season at Tynecastle so the player that arrived was about as good as he was ever going to get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Devlin is god enough to play ahead of Haring, Halliday and McAneff, then that'll be an improvement, and I'll be delighted. I see Ryan McGowan is backing Devlin - he's hardly likely to say the boy is pish, mind. It might seem like I'm just moaning for the sake of it, but I think our recruitment in recent seasons has been riddled with mistakes - I'm hoping lessons have been learned on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an XI of Craigy G, Mick Smith down the right, Soapy, Halkett and Kingsley across the back, Cochrane on the left, Bene and Devlin doing the hard yards behind Gino, GMS and Boyce I’m only left to wonder by how many points we’ll win the league tbqhwy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheJTS98 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I watch a lot of A-League, so have seen enough of Devlin to be sure that he's a decent enough player. The A-League is a real mixed bag. While there's some complete dross (much like in our league), there are some players there who could improve pretty much any non-OF team in Scotland, and others who are definitely worth a punt. I'd put Devlin in the last bracket. Occasionally outstanding, usually reliable. Interested to see how he gets on. This could be a win-win-win. Newcastle play a smart business move in bringing in a player purely for the fee, Hearts get a midfielder in and (please, please, please, please, please) bin Halliday, and Devlin gets to avoid living in Newcastle, which is a fucking dive.

Guest TheJTS98 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Does anybody know what day the parade is planned for? It's just that I've got a few things on in May and want to get it all planned early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know too much about him, tbh - a forward, seemingly. Cool tweet from the Sons of the Rock: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
