BelgeJambo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Real Competition for places throughout the team now compared to last season. AB, CL, RN and the whole coaching staff are re-building this team the right way. Keeping all these youngsters until they peak would be good to see how far they can go, but at the same time, they will be upping their profiles down south very quickly. Jamie Walker is heading for the top if he continues to apply himself and take in everything he is being coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhjambo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If it's 18 month then I fail to see the point. If he's any good then he'll sign a pre-contract with some English team in 12 month time and he'll leave for nowt. In which case we'll have had a good player for a full year at least and I've got faith in our current management to sign a quality replacement if/when that happens.

Jambos1983 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 To be fair paying a fee for an 18 month deal would be really daft. If we have the option to extend then 2 and a half years seems reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast No Shadow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Not always a good indication of an individual player's ability. Suso and MacKay-Steven would be two off the bat which jump to mind for players who were at a lower level who made a successful step up in standard. No idea if this guy's any good or not, but it's not always the best indicator of a player's potential. That's true. Hopefully we've unearthed a hidden gem.

The Internet Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31091718 Hearts have signed central midfielder Kenny Anderson after agreeing a nominal fee with Dutch second-tier club RKC Waalwijk in his homeland. The 22-year-old, who has a Scottish father, has agreed a contract with the Championship club until summer 2016. Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson told his club website: "He's a quality player, one who I believe will slot right into our side. "I feel we will get the best out of him." Anderson, whose move is pending international clearance, has made 17 appearances for RKC this season, scoring four goals. He began his career with Willem II.

Bauld Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I didn't think we would bring in anyone in as a replacement for Holt going outa as I figured El Hass would come in for that role. Since we have this is why Holt leaving never bothered me. I haven't seen him play but I know he is thought of quite highly and some would say above this level. His physical attributes look well suited to this game and he gives off the impression he will give as good as he gets from defenders. All those things are what Holt struggled with. So for a nominal fee all things going to plan we have a player who's a similar age but bigger, stronger and if his talent matches the ability Holt has a far better player for the game we play in this country. Here's hoping he is all that and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its name is derived from 'Rooms Katholieke Combinatie' ('Roman Catholic Combination' in Dutch) and was a fusion club of HEC, WVB and Hercules. Correct. In the Netherland religion is split on a north/south divide with the rivers Rhine/Meuse being the boundary. The north is majority Protestant and the south Catholic. Waalwijk is located in the south. I lived in a city called Papendrecht which had the nickname 'Pope City'. Teams associated historically with the RC church would generally have purple in their team colours. However, in my time living there I never came across sectarianism in football, the exception being the anti-Jewish attacks on Ajax supporters.

airdriejambo3 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Jesus this thread needs binned where's all the positive comments about us signing a good prospect, it looks like he was playing for a team with problems but 4 goals in 17 isn't bad in a team that's getting beat everyweek. He was playing with Wesley Sneider's brother maybe he can get a message to Wesley to ask if he wants to join the revolution, I think he would maybe solve the wee problem we have in that attacking midfield area.

el_jambo74 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Welcome to Hearts, Kenny Anderson. Work hard, and wear the shirt with pride, and the support will be right behind you (well most of them anyway!). As for Prince Bauben - you have to laugh at some of the posters on here. The same posters decry a lack of loyalty in some players like Holt, yet the minute we sign a new player, Bauben, who has been part of the side that has put us 16 points clear, is slated, and ready to be binned. Where's our loyalty to him? Yes, he's hit a bit of a sticky patch, but there were signs v Alloa that he was getting back to what he was doing so well earlier in the season (one driving run which ended up with him having a shot on goal springs to mind). It's funny that guys can bin Bauben for a guy they've never even seen play! Modern football fans amuse me I hope both Prince and Kenny fire us to the title. We've hopefully strengthened an already good squad. P.S. The religious chat is cringeworthy. Who cares???? As DutchJambo says, the guy is University educated, and hopefully a decent football player. Why some folk try to find a negative is beyond me. The religious chat is 'shan'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Kenny Anderson has probably played his last game for RKC Waalwijk. The midfielder is in Scotland to finalize negotiations with First Division side Heart of Midlothian. Both clubs have agreed on the reimbursement sum, according to the Brabants Dagblad . Anderson's contract expires in June, as an option for an additional year required a Salary Eredivisie RKC and can not afford. Therefore director Remco About Ornamental is not unsympathetic a departure. "Anderson will make the step itself. Now we can earn some. Otherwise he runs over four months as the door," he told the newspaper. Scottish-Dutch soccer player already in Waalwijk since the D3 in season 2002-2003. In 2013, Anderson signed a professional contract for two seasons. RKC could add a third year, but that one sees so from. http://www.geleleger.nl/nieuws/in-de-media/2972-anderson-op-weg-naar-schotland.html That's some name that guy's got!
