JJ93 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It wasn't that long ago when we were praying for Milinkivic to be signed permanently and gutted when he left. Now he isn't even getting on the bench for Hull and I bet the majority of us wouldn't care if we had him or not. The same can be said for Lafferty. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/ex-hearts-winger-david-milinkovic-vows-to-save-hull-career-1-4802539 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandylejambo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I suppose the Lafferty money has brought others to the club, but he did bring a feel good factor to Tynecastle. in the end though I feel you will be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Tbh, I called that one without the benifit of hindsight. No where good as some made out, but would still be OK in our squad. Some wanted him over Naismith as a priority. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deans Jambo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Can't really remember many games where he was close to man of the match (Celtic 4-0 game maybe). For me he was overrated by most fans but he had potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 In truth Levein used him quite sparingly, and seldom away from home...He was good in a poor team, same as Lafferty. Now that the team is better, we are not really missing individuals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 We need to be cautious but the loss of Malinki, Berra, Levein and Lafferty has barely created a ripple. That is amazing. Great OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt he was distinctly ordinary. Lafferty scored a number of crucial goals for us. Naismith would be the real loss. Mind you I thought that about Berra....

Watt-Zeefuik Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Didn't have a good feeling at the end, but watching the highlights of the 4-0 again he was enormous in that game, which puts him well below "legend status" but certainly "hero for a day."

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Meh on Milinkovic. And Lafferty can **** off too. Someone said he brought a feel good factor. Not for me. Even when he was here I thought he was a dick. It's just that he was our dick. We're a better squad with that arsehole gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay James Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I never really understood the hype with Milinkovic but I suspect that folk were just desperately looking for a hero that they got swept away by the slightest hint of one. He had a couple of good games and had potential but he was a stop gap and no more. I was actually very surprised that he got a move to England. As for Lafferty, he was always heading for Ibrox. His loss and thanks for the goals but it barely registered with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Jambo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) I was never convinced by Milikcovic and like a few other posters didn’t see why others were so bothered about him re-signing. Then I was accused on here of having that view as part of anti Craig Levein conspiracy where we would all turn on him when Milincovic wasn’t signed and we were doing badly. Amongst the many pluses of our good start is some of our more annoying fans have disappeared from JKB!!

Bizarre behaviour so it is. That and the “god is great” stuff. He is a decent player lets all be honest. We’ve moved on and he’s got what looks to be a real battle on his hands. I read it was a chairman’s signing which looks right as he’s not even near the bench. he will be away in January. At least he’s got the 3 year deal down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Milinkovic was good fun last year in a team that had little in the way of attacking flair. I feel much the same way about Lafferty, too. This season's team is much more of a team. Yes, there are very good individuals in it, but they don't appear to be in the 'look at me look at me' bracket. And, as noted above, when you start talking about yourself in the third person, Haken believes that you have lost the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Milinkovic has some great outings for us last year, but I struggled to see where he was going to fit into Levein’s long term plans. I wish we still had Lafferty, but we appear to be putting the transfer fee, and freed-up wages, to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Further evidence that alot of players enjoy their best days at Hearts. He was bang in form, scoring goals, loved by the fans, living in Edinburgh, now his career has stalled and is living in Hull. I understand that the money has to be chased, but career wise more often than not going down south doesn’t work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Re Berra - maybe bad choice of wording but I’m presuming he means that Berra being injured has really given souttar a shot in the arm and he’s improved his game as a result.
