You'd think Cathro / Levein would've had opportunities to get this guy in - certainly when he went to Hibs - but never managed it for whatever reason. As far as I could see, he didn't make anything of his chance to shine across the city, due to either being injured or ineffectual. Time to move on I think. I suspect you might be right. If Hibs don’t try to get him that tell us something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lee and Djoum leave we will have a vacancy for him to fill now whereas in January we had so many CMs that Edwards couldn't get near the bench. Whether we go for him is another matter but I don't think we were in the market when he went to Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Definitely, the only issue is Naismith.. I’m sure that naisy playing in that role is the reason we didn’t take him in January. A forward line of washington with naismith walker gauld Playing in behind would do damage, with Uche, Clare, McLean, Keena, mulraney as options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 You'd have thought with Levein and Souttar in situ we'd be in a very strong position if we wanted him, as his situation is exactly what Scottish clubs (except Rangers) look for...But if we were interested i would've expected us to have been interested before now...

Whatever Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 From what I seen of Gauld at Hibs, albeit not a great deal, he was lightweight, a bit lily livered and games generally passed him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartley10 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Initially I'd have said no, especially with his form for the mutants, but it would be a low risk gamble. Levein knows him, Soapy is his best mate, he could learn a lot from Naismith. I'd take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me every Hearts player gets way more than that to show so I'm not sure how much to read into that. He's a talent, but is he suited to our game? 23, no caps, didn't look particularly good at hibs - I can't help thinking he doesn't have it, but could be wrong.

Cruyff Turn Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I don’t know what level he’s at these days or whether he’s good enough to play for us. Needs to get his career back on track.

We’re only guessing of course but I’d be surprised if the club were left in any sort of limbo whilst he made his decision. Maybe I’m way off but I presumed given both parties know each other it would be a case of ‘here’s what we’d offer you, x amount for x years but we can’t wait forever and we’re actively looking at other players’ I’m sure the club will have it covered. The news that Lee is being allowed to leave might add weight to that? Edited June 30, 2019 by Whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 We're in a good position with Djoum imo. Personally I'm happy if he stays and happy if he goes. I know how strange that sounds but at his best he's a very good player. I was very impressed with him in the Cup Final but many on here who see him every week are clearly frustrated with him.

Inch Hearts Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Injury prone, played very little games, couldn’t get a game over the road = 3 year deal 6 months nowhere near the starting 11 then a loan to Dundee next season.
