HEARTS FOREVER Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 1 hour ago, King prawn said: Like Michael Stewart He’s played once for Manchester United which is the same as Adam Eckersley. I know Mitchell looked brilliant when he played for us but he’s not what I’d call in and around the first team. I think you miss my point. He plays for Man Utd and had been included in the pre season 1st team tour. He is a young guy with ambition. The players you quote had their chance and failed. I'm sure he will be putting full attention into his own prospects at MU. Hearts will be nowhere near the lads mind. Time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH11 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) His decision to play in the lower divisions affected his career, no doubt. Had he gone down south, I think he'd have been a better player but I believe he stagnated. That said, a LW that stagnated for the experience is still a very good footballer. IIRC, he was called up for the national team whilst playing in the championship. If circumstances allowed ie he get's released on a free, i'd be happy to get him back for a year or two. Steady a problem position, knows the club and a one legged LW is a better proposition than some of the dross we've endured in his position in recent years. All about opinions Herbert, I see you're a new member, so you'll come to understand that there are all sorts on here. Hell, we even had a Hearts 'supporter' who wanted Hibs to win the derby. Couldn't make it up. 38 minutes ago, Herbert said: How long has it been since we sold him? He is pish and everytime the left back position is mentioned his name comes up. Just to answer my question incase you skip over it, its 7years since we sold him and he spent 4 of them in the lower leagues and missed probably a full season through injury. The guy is past it I would rather have sowah back. Edited July 14, 2018 by EH11 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would expect a hefty wage and would contribute nothing. The strongest part of his game was his ability to get forward Wallace 7 years ago would be a great player for us,Wallace now would just set us back he's not fit enough to play a wing back role and his defending isn't very good.

Very easy to waste a year going on loan to such a club. I reckon we are actually a better proposition. Playing in a top half championship team or a top half Scottish Premier team?? It’s a no brainer really. We won’t be getting him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilamas Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Worth noting that Derby already have a few left backs: 1. Craig Forsyth 2. Marcus Olsson 3. Max Lowe (20 year old and England Youth international). Plus they are reportedly getting ready to splash the cash on Kasey Palmer from Chelsea. So if Mitchell in, one would be anticipating 1 or 2 established left backs out. Is that really likely for Derby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'd take Lee Wallace back if he leaves the huns. Wouldn't pay money for him (not that we could anyway) though. I think a third LB is needed with Garrucio and Burns still being relatively young. Burley played Wallace in CDM for a while, if he came back I'd be interested to see how that would go (assuming either of our existing LBs are good enough).

Kiwidoug Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I would have thought there were numerous factors at play here with Man Utd key to most of then. Do they see a future for him at the club? Do they want to loan him out for another season? Did they think being at Hearts was good for his development? Would he be happy to come back to us? If the answer to all that is yes, Derby can stick it. When did they ever win a world championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skacelsid Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It would be great to get Demi for another season, loans have a big part to play, but permanent signings are more important in regard of building for the future, I have high hopes that Ben Garuccio left wing-back and Bobby Burns left-mid between them can give us a strong attacking left side, with Burns tucking in at times when Ben is high up the park, as he likes to be. They can share attacking and defensive duties. It would be great if Liam Smith has developed enough to make the right-wing back slot his own, with Brandon and Godinho side-lined. He had big boots to fill when he had to come for Callum Paterson previously, he is not a Callum, that pressure should be off him now and he may just be the answer. It may be between him and Michael, although Michael may also be seen as cover for the back three and defensive mid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis he has looked better albeit had far more time on field I’d be opting for Burns if a choice between the two. To be fair Garrucio has seen very little game time and may just need a little more to settle in. Good to have options and reserve league for this very purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
