Smith&Weston Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What a prospect we have on our hands here. This guy is going to be a big big player over the next few years and if we have any sense then we ensure we get him on a very long term contract. Not 17 until the 17th of March. That is incredible.

iwasthere1954 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 That poor left back didn't know if he was coming or going. This boy is talented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Munro Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Had an excellent first half, tired (understandably) as the second went on. He really is a great prospect, hope we can enjoy him for several more seasons watching him get better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorgieRules22 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Young boy was out of this world. Not many players at Tynecastle get me a bit giddy but this laddie is pure class. His flick in the 2nd half was outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japanjambo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The laddie is pure class. Also looks to be quite strong in holding off players, for one so young. Thought he was superb today. Had him as my MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Saw on Hambones highlights the brilliant role he played in one of our goals against Celtic. So assured and intelligent. Think it was the move that led to the penalty. Scoring 30 yard screamers can be a bit lucky. What he did against Celtic didn't have a modicum of luck.

Rab WL Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 A skilful player with good touch on the ball, sees a pass and can only improve - enjoyable to watch and hopefully he continue to try things ( even when they don't always come off ) - worth the entry money just to watch this talented player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Kind of shows up St Brenda's comments about 16 year olds, in what was a tough game and, in which he competed well physically. Of course, he didn't have someone deliberately setting out to injure him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't suppose he'll get much publicity as all of it will go to the decent looking young Chelsea player who temporarily plays for Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbell Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Funny this thread should come up, I was going to start one about him, with not living in Edinburgh anymore I don’t get to games so haven’t seen much of him, most of the games on tv Harry has played so I have seen his obvious talent, my question is where does McDonald rank vs Harry, I know they play different positions but just a general overview would be great!

karipidis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 For me the most talented of all the young players, another superb performance.

Yes he has a lot to learn. Surely we can’t go wrong building out squad around these two and a few other, Henderson, Brandon Bauer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thought Police Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Very difficult to remember they are just 16 these lads, and I think CL has admitted this.

Kiwidoug Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Most excited I've been about Hearts since 2005/2006 and this is better because there's no Vlad factor and our finances are assured. Reading the threads today people are genuiningly excited about so many of our players. So much so that the goalie who just executed another shut out barely rated a mention. The next 3 months promise to be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Nice to see a young player like that with a sharp brain and good touch combined. Never loses the ball too easily.

fabienleclerq Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 You know the thing that impresses me most when I watch him isn't just his skill it's his intelligence. For a 16 year old he plays like an experienced pro at times, he's quite happy keeping possesion and doing the simple things rather than being over elaborate. Big future, we need to enjoy him while he's here. Long contract please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different positions as you say but the big thing for me about him, Cochrane and I’d add Brandon to the list is they look 100% ready for first team football already. Their decision making, awareness, confidence and composure, on top of their obvious talent, puts them a cut above all the other recent youngsters, or certainly on a par with paterson and walker. Kudos to the coaches for getting them ready for the step up at such a young age. They just need to add a bit more fitness for this level, not far off though.
