151 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Right, as I said his brother works in my work. Asked him as soon as I got in for the low-down. He said he thinks he'll end up at Hearts. He said it all depends on Stoke paying off the rest of his contract as he won't leave unless he gets it, but he says based on when he spoke to Charlie Hearts have offered him a good deal.

If Djoum has turned down a new deal then would happily see a central midfield 3 of Adam Haring and Cochrane. Regardless, at 17 Cochrane doesn't NEED to play week in week out to develop, he's shown he has the footballing ability to play first team football but this seasons injuries have shown what can happen with too much football/training when a teenagers body is growing and developing. Not only that but part of developing as a player includes not only learning from other players but also learning to fight for a place in the team against older, more experienced players.

Debut 4 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Harry Cochrane would benefit playing beside a player of Adam’s quality. Cochrane is still very young and it’s easy to forget that because he was heavily involved last season. Aside from injury problems, CL probably and deliberately stepped Harry down a bit from first team duties and signing a few midfielders in the summer told you that would happen also. Unless you are something really special you are only going to be drip fed at 17 years of age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't think CL would want him an I'd doubt he's fit or a good role model. If he was fit and focused he'd be a great signing but i just don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlim Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) If we do bring him in then we're setting ourselves up very narrowly imo, you can't drop Djoum or Haring on current form, Adam would be too expensive to sit on the bench and on top of that Cochrane, Lee and even Bozanic are useful players to bring in when they're on it, stark contrast with our wide options who haven't really shown much at all to deserve a start Option 1 would be: _____________Keeper Smith__Souttar__Berra__Garuccio _____Djoum__Haring__Adam ____________Naismith ________Ikpeazu__Vanecek Option 2: ___________Keeper Dikamona__Souttar__Berra Smith__Haring__Adam__Garuccio ____________Djoum ______Naismith__Ikpeazu/Vanecek Option 3: ______________Keeper __Smith__Souttar__Berra__Garuccio Morrison__Haring__Adam__Mitchell _________Naismith__Ikpeazu Could go on forever tbh, it's good to have options but for me I think wide areas are the ultimate priority, God knows how we'll set up if Lee or Clare hit form or if Dunne returns but at the end of the day any XI with wide players in it isn't our best and that's a bit of a problem imo Edited January 3, 2019 by BigAlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair835 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 People wanting harry cochrane to get a run of games need to remember he is only 17 and not yet ready for full 1st team duties, to expect him to play week in week out and be a standout is abit silly imo and lets face it, if charlie adam does sign it can only benefit harry in the future, i very much doubt itll hinder his progression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stoke know he's happy with what hearts have on the table, they'd probably dig their heels in and say he can take or leave whatever (if any) severance they deem fit. By denying any knowledge of an offer it kinda keeps the ball in his court as he could claim he's uncertain of any future income etc and could well be relying for a while on what he gets from Stoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
