missusm Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Unfortunately not to Hearts (at least not yet). Motherwell and Aberdeen are in talks with Paddy about a move back up north. He's looking for a move back here to try and enhance his chances of playing for the national team. Good luck to him, just hope that whoever is in charge of our transfer dealiings these days has a look at the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 He's improved since he went to Leicester by all accounts and was attracting interest from the EPL. Thought he was out for a year with a knee injury though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Mentioned on here this morning that I had been reading Wallace Mercer's book. In it there was an interview with George McNeill who used to do the fitness/sprint training work with the Hearts squad. In it he describes players who look like their arms and legs are going fast - so they should be fast runners - but are in fact 'slow'. They waste their energy due to an inefficient running style. That was Kisnorbo all over. And he was pretty poor on the ball too. Was delighted when he left. Wouldn't want to see him back, though obviously he's better than much of the rubbish in the squad at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazo Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Because he was! He was a young kid when we had him and the potential was there IMO. Currently compared to the pish we watch these days and the money we pay them i don't think he was that bad. Certainly no where near as bad as some make out.

Ibrahim Tall Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Everton, Wigan and a couple other premiership sides were after him the other year there. Far too good for Motherwell or Aberdeen, suprised if the story isn't bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I always like Paddy, was a solid utility man who played most positions except his natural one. I think part of the hatred was for non footballing reasons among a section of the support I personally would take him back in a second however I would be surprised if he ends up in the SPL as because already said he was being linked with the EPL for 2 million odd not all that long ago before injury scuppered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Always liked Paddy not sure why people on here think he is so bad. It's not that he was so bad, just...not particularly good! He was slow, had a weird running style and his passing was woeful, where would he fit into our team? Was he supposed to be a defender, left-back or midfielder? If it was midfield, he's no better than what we have there at the moment, Jonsson, Aguiar,Stewart and Palazuelos. He'll probably end up at Dundee Utd with Levein and DeVries again or Aberdeen with Maybury, maybe even (dare I say it....) Hibs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember that happening, that's twice now you've referred to how he was treated by supporters, maybe it's you that's got the problem, maybe it was you who booed him on his debut, hmmm....now I can see why loads of folk on JKB think your a d***head.

Away and get a grip. Miko, Velicka, Larry Kingston among others all cross themselves as they come onto the park without getting booed, explain why Kisnorbo was singled out? Unless you are suggesting there is an "anti-Australian" element within our support. That would surprise me, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonedinoz Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Never fancied him myself, whether he played at South Melbourne, Hearts or Leicester city.

Debtor Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 At Leicester he was nothing much until he moved into the back four. There he became a success and was popular with the fans. However he would surely prefer Aberdeen or Motherwell to League one football but can they afford him? The injury might mean he is not wanted by English clubs and would take less money just to play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambojambo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 He was signed as a promising Centrehalf by Levein, then he was played either left back or midfield where he justifiably got the "Skippy on Ice" tag. Levein signed him for LCFC where Paddy was thrown into midfield and the LCFC fans could not believe that anybody in their right mind would sign such a diddy (I kept up to date on their 'FoxTalk' fan site). Then Levein gets the bullet, Paddy gets a chance at Centrehalf and all of a sudden he was putting in MOM performances! Strange that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
