We just need to hope that these three can be moved on sooner rather than later. It would certainly free up a bit of cash to bring in somone we can actually play in the team and might improve it.

Dinger Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 i dont know whats worse, the fact the EEN think a loan ending is news worthy or that people here are crying about it, Sammon has to come back for pre season, but i doubt he will be a hearts player next season, another loan or he will go for free.

TheBigO Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Wish we’d kept him this season and certainly 2nd half of last season. That said it only shows where our squad is and I’d hope we can/have (with Uche, McLean, Keena, Currie as options) done better than Conor. He never let us down really, his finidhing was poor but he created plenty for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a lad with excellent prospects at Hearts as far as I'm concerned. Only reason he was out on loan is because we had a surfeit of players in his position.

been here before Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 'mon the Fish. Played in one of the most disorganised, uninterested, spineless Hearts team for many a year and was seldom given a chance. Became a bit of a focus for the discontent amongst the support at an early stage. By no means a world beater but at the same time by no means the worst player we've had over the last while. As I recall he seemed to have turned a corner in the last couple of games before going to Thistle and this was slowly recognised by some in the support. Im up for giving the fish another chance in the moroon sea. Be interesting to see if he can jump for a header. The only player Ive ever seen who got smaller when he jumped!

Whatever the last couple were before he left for Thistle. Im at work and honestly cant recall what ones they were. Im thinking East Fife might have been one of them, he came in as a sub but I honestly cant recall for sure. I do recall we were shooting toward the Roseburn, sun was out (which makes me doubt East Fife) he'd set up a couple of chances, maybe had a shot or two and Ill swear bling there was a smattering of 'one Connor Sammon'.

My recollection of his time at Hearts was on-going horrendous performances until he was finally stuck on the bench - basically as a 'face saver' for those who authorised his signing. In most cases he was left sitting on the bench and a youngster was subbed on instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Some people had it decided that they didn't like him before he even took to the pitch. Once he's back, he should get a clean chance to prove himself. If he shows himself to have improved, then brilliant, if not, it's no great loss. I certainly won't be booing his return, unlike some "supporters". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Static implies laziness and a refusal to move and work as part of the team unit. Besides pace isn't the be all for a striker. Easily compensated by some brains.

My comment was about people including CL suggesting he should be given a chance to play again. Sammon is an effing embrassment and nowhere near Hearts standard- end of.
