Makween Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Looks like he's done the same with them as he has with us - good at first, then gets into a comfort zone and can't be arsed. Expect him to say that he's looking for a move to the Premiership any time soon before eventually signing for Falkirk on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I always thought he was better at CB rather than CM as he lacks the creativity of a good midfielder. Still think we could do worse than bringing him in to partner Berra in the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular John Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 A very average player that goes through an occasional purple patch. He possesses a dangerous daisy cutter shot but nothing else in his game stands out. He's only really became worse since leaving Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I agree with the poster that said Severin performed best for Hearts when used in central defence rather than central midfield, however bringing him back to Tynecastle to fill that role is not something I would now consider.

Charlie-Brown Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Severin would provide useful experience in the squad (something we lack) to help bring through our younger players - of which he himself was one when he started - Nicholson and Maybury would also provide useful experience - and Lee Miller could be a good goalscorer and rekindle his International career if he works hard! I wouldn't necessarily put all these guys into the team but they'd be useful squad additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.N.T.H. Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 To be honest, i'd take Severin and Nicholson at Hearts now, but we'd have to rid ourselves of a few players in that area. We've got Ruben, Stewart, Bruno, Jonsson, Kingston and McCann. Now, TBH Larry's the man so he's an automatic pick when he's fit, Jonsson's got good quality aswell and Ruben's done nothing wrong since coming in. Bruno's quality is also great, and Michael Stewart, on the whole has never shirked responsibilities this season, giving his all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these midfield players have been OK but apart from Kingston none of them score enough goals. We need less workhorses and a bit more cutting edge.

bighusref Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I was very disappointed when he left. I felt that he was a good midfield player, a good centre half and also quite handy when pushed up front. I do feel he is on the wane now and I do not think he would be a good signing.

AllowayJambo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Think he's an excellant player and still stands out when he plays against us. Don't think he would be right player to bring back but he was a big loss at the time and I hope he makes it wherever he goes. Another Hearts player who listened to an agent filling his heid wi mince!

Not the story I heard Alloway, I heard that Levein offered him a wage cut, Severin said he would not sign a deal for less than he was on and Levein basically said that was all that was in the pot and he could take it or leave it.

Actually I stand corrected if I remember correctly he was offered same type of deal (which at the time wasn't that bad) but rejected it. I am sure he was under the impression he was heading for the premiership/championship though and ended up at Aberdeen on basically the same money as we offered! Anyway, there we go, if he had stuck it out he would've probably got a bumper pay rise when Burley came in as Hartley, Pressley, Gordon et al got.

Del1812 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 From my understanding of the Seve situation was that he was offered a new deal, better, turned it down because he wanted to move to a bigger club. No big club came in, his form faultered and when it came time for him to realise he wanted to sign a new deal, Hearts had already used up the cash and told him where to go. Still performed well for us for weeks after knowing this though, including a man of the match performance in a rare 1-0 win at Ibrox. Much respect to him for that. Plus he's scored a couple of times against the Hibees while up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signed for the muttonmolestors he broke their wage barrier and was on ?2500 per week just more than R Anderson @ ?1850 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I think the way that Levein treated him was poor. Crocodile tears on the pitch at the end of the season from Levein - and then later in the next season crowing about how he was so smart that he could bring in 2 players with the wages Seve would have got. Those 2 players - Pereira and McAllister. Not only that - he kept Stamp on for that year too. I like Seve at centre back - but he has played well in a number of games for Aberdeen against us in the centre of midfield. Would be delighted to see him back at Hearts as he would be better for us in the centre of midfield than anyone we have except Jonsson. Alternatively he could be a decent partner for Berra.

Martin_T Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 The Med? Had many a good night in there a couple years back. It was indeed the Med, or more accurately 'The Beat' which by that time had replaced the legendary 'Outhouse' as the night club part of the pub. Seve was out with Kisnorbo, Maybury and Kenny Milne that night, Paddy K was sound as a pound, Maybs and Seve twonks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never sure where I stand on this one - on one hand, you can understand people in their position just wanting to be left alone, but at the same time by the very nature of their job it'll never happen, and they know that when they get into it.

During my uni days (4 years ago now:eek:), I met a number of footballers on nights out including Severin, Maybury, Kisnorbo, Kenny Milne, Steven Boyack, Neil MacFarlane (top man), Kevin Nolan, Dean Holdsworth, Michael Ricketts, Paul Kane and a few others I have forgotten. Of all those the only two who had the billy big time arrogant attitude were Severin and Maybury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
