BigAlim Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If the lad is only 19 and playing part time he wouldn't exactly be expensive, decent scoring rate as well, if he impresses I imagine he'd go straight into the development squad or out on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nothing to lose by seeing what he's like. But good goal-game ratios at low levels don't always translate. Good luck to the boy, and fingers-crossed he's a gem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Bikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 All the big money is made on finding or developing players before someone else finds them. Success rate can be low but it yields a big return when you strike gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be 2+2=5 but the young lads club are in partnership with Espanyol and an academy in India, might have been through McPhee's work out there in the summer that the guy has been suggested?

bajthejambo Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Let the trialist keep the kit, so there's a boy cutting about Catalonia in a Hearts tracksuit at the very least.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 As others have said, nothing wrong with taking him in for a trial while we are out there. 19 is a good age that he can still can be developed as part of the reserve team and have time to reach the right level. That amount of goals to games suggests he is much better than the league he is in, so question is what level can he go to. If we look at him and he is not good enough then we can thank him for his time and move on. My hunch based on previous trials is that this week is all we will hear of him but would love if he turned out a rough diamond we had discovered.
