Had this with Berra, Lafferty & Naismith. "Oh, that's them off to Rangers...we can't afford them." Didn't work out too badly, did it. Maybe Berra aside as he is an Edinburgh boy do you think if Rangers wanted Naismith he would be at Hearts?? No chance. That goes with Lafferty at the time he signed for Hearts aswell. McCauley aswell. Bryson and Adam likewise. If they are wanted by Rangers they will more often than not be going there and not Hearts. I would love to see Bryson at Hearts hopefully Rangers don’t want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnking123 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Bryson is a good player and would take in a heartbeat. Though a loan of Anya would make more sense at the moment. Derby have been interested in Souttar for a while now and a bit short in centerhalfs at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Bryson spent Friday chasing shadows. Caveat so was Max Lowe who had a decent spell first half of the season. A bit short term and along the lines of Cowie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw Craig Bryson play but he’s clearly had a steady career with Derby....7 years with one club in England and under about 10 different managers must mean he has something to offer. He’ll no doubt get better financial options from clubs down south who’ll see him as a safe bet for a season or two. From memory he was an attacking midfielder, in a similar mould to Colin Cameron but without the goals.....so with that in mind he’d only be an option for us if Naismith was to reject the offer to stay.

cocobeab Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Someone mentioned we were watching Penrice of P Thisthe. I watched their game v Falkirk today he, saw a lot of the ball and grew into the game. Bit raw still, showed a good few tidy touches but a bit hit and miss with distribution. Some excellent offensive play mixed with poor decision making, sound positional sense and rarely beaten by Falkirk forwards. File under work in progress. Separately Jordan McGhee looked fairly solid as Falkirk Centre half/Captain without being put under much pressure. The other former Jambo Ally Roy was only on for final mins and barely touched he ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a different matter at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
