I was just replying to someone who was wondering whether Cochrane is still rated by the coaching staff. He most definitely is! Yeah, 100% and folk need to realise loaning him isn't a bad thing if it happens!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he has the right attitude and doesn't see it as being a bad thing. Cracking player and he will have his chance at Hearts eventually. My thinking. He's better playing 4/5 games for a Dundee Utd or qos than playing 1/2 in five for us. Just my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTweedy Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Just now, pablo said: Apparently Craig said at the AGM that in that particular case he was giving Harry 60 mins to get him up to speed for the weekend, only for him to get crocked on 59 minutes! The lad has been desperately unlucky this season, otherwise he'd have played a part. He did indeed say that. He would have started against Aberdeen had it not been for that injury. I don't think we'll see Cochrane going out on loan, simply because when he gets fit, he'll be playing for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corstorphine Jambo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Charlie Adam would bring a range of passing that I don’t personally believe our current midfield provides. Dead ball delivery is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view would be that if it was one or two starts for us, he'd be better staying with us, playing with and against a higher standard of player, but if he was only getting one or two sub appearances, he'd be better going on loan for a bit.

That’s good to know. He needs to be getting the chances if he’s to fulfil his potential and show that our Academy is doing its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Made no secret that I don’t want Adam to sign. I think that for the wages he would require he would not be worthwhile. I’m not denying his talent, and if Djoum is to go then Adam being left footed may fit into the midfield more naturally than Djoum being shoehorned in on the left as he is so often unfortunately for him. But Adam’s played less than 20 games in a season and a half, and not because he’s been injured. As others have touched on, he’s not exactly known for harmonising the dressing room either. All this taken into consideration, spending wages that we’d have to on him may not be wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty2442 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Can’t see this one happening.....what will happen is we will be linked with him, perhaps show an interest in him.....and then based on current form Gary Rowett will lose his job and Adam will end up staying at Stoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 His legs may have gone but if he can ping it about like Baggio Fulton used to do then get him signed.

R1874 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Think he’d be good for us. His technical ability is a level above most in this league. Naismith for sure would love playing with him.

I'm sure CL will be checking on his fitness levels and just as importantly his character suitability for the club. All our new signings seem to "get the club" and Adam would have to fit in there as well as having the footballing ability too. I don't want a has been playing out to his pension at Hearts!

Jack Torrance Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I was just watching a thing on Sky and Adam got a mention. They brought up that Alex Ferguson rated him highly. He was asked about his signing fee at the time and Alex was quoted as saying his corner kicks alone, were worth £10m. I’d be happy to see him sign for us. Reckon we’d get a couple of good seasons out of him. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/6701925/fergie-adam-worth-10m Edited January 1, 2019 by Jack Torrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 One of the best strikers of a ball I've seen in my decades watching football. If he could still ping the crosses in to Vanacek/Uchi we'd have a hack of an attacking threat. On the other hand one of the worst defenders I've seen in recent years. It would all depend on how fit he is. Would he need half a season to bed in a la Naismith? I'll trust Craig's judgement on this. He's made his money with his Liverpool and Stoke contracts.
