What happened to Jordan McGhee......?

[Section Q]

Did he get his move to England......?

[HMFC86]

At Falkirk I think. Just a young player forced into playing before he was truly ready, due to our situation, seemed to go to his head a bit. 

 

Had bags of potential but that’s all really. 

[Dia Liom]

Aye, he went to Middlesborough's reserves for a while. Do you not remember?

 

Shan thread.

[tcjambo]

Did Barcelona not snap him up?

[Bauld]

Was never as good as he thought he was.

 

Intact he was an awful defender.

 

Every time he was put at centre half we were likely to concede. When him and Augustyn(sp) ended up together in defence it was a disaster.

[boag1874]

Feck him. Thought he was billy big baws and has now found his level.

 

Still not forgiven him for that handball v Aberdeen btw. Summed his defensive intelligence up.

[jack D and coke]

Only person I’ve ever seen conceding a penalty shepherding the ball out of play. 

Againts the hobbits too

[Madjambo21]

Mate of mine is a Falkirk fan says he is a good player for them.

Remember he thought he was too good for us.

Hope he enjoys league 1 next season 

[Ministry MK2]

Average player who wasn’t good enough for Hearts. 

[OTT]

Won the Champions league and Europa league at the same time iirc

[Beave1874]

Regardless... Did this and gave me major pleasure over my Sheep friends.

[LarrysRightFoot]

Falkirk fan at work rates him.

Brilliant tackle by McHattie and the bloody ref sent him off and gave a penalty!

[Phil Dunphy]

I’m still ****ing incredulous over that handball at Aberdeen. 

[lewis2006]

Mind him saying that playing for Boro’s U23 was a step up from Hearts ?

Mind when loads of Hearts fans were saying we would get £millions for him.

 

Very poor judgement.

Yes.  I didn't rate him as highly as others though you never know for sure. He did seem to be improving around 15/16 but still playing full back and he got impatient. 

 

I thought he should have stayed at Hearts instead of going to Middlesbrough. Could have developed a bit more. 

 

At least he is playing regularly now.

He was the master of the brain farts and a poor football player.

Spot on, the boy thought he was better than he was. No wonder he hasn’t gone onto better than Hearts. 

[El Diez]

Must look about 48 by now.

[A_A wehatethehibs]

Still only 22, young for a defender.

[Martin_T]

Never gave the impression that he was fully concentrated on making it at Hearts, seemed to be all too happy to let his agent play up news stories of interest from other clubs and IIRC, only signed a two year extension towards the end of the Championship season when I'm sure that, at the time, the club would have been keen to secure him on a longer deal.

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Got too big for his boots. Is now paying the price

[Bull's-eye]

Did he take up Netball ?

This.

 

Had us daring to believe we actually could stay up. The atmosphere was proper mental after that goal went in

Always thought it was a case if something was repeated often enough it became true. Loads of folk raved about his potential but I never really saw it. Remember seeing him for Scotland u21s a few times as well and he was poor.

 

No ill will to the guy though. I'm sure he will have a pretty steady career in the Spfl

He was signing for Juventus at one point.

Thinking back I couldn’t believe the amount of people who rated him.

Not worth going over old ground but it was a penalty. Total brain fart moment just like his handball at Pittodrie.

It’s a penalty. 

[Phil Dunphy]

Whether or not it’s a penalty, he’s no ****ing reason to tackle the boy when the ball is going out of play. 

 

Only outdone one as the worst penalty I’ve seen a Hearts player concede by his absolutely astounding decision to punch a ball in his own penalty area five minutes from the end. 

[Nookie Bear]

An example to all young players in Scotland to make sure you make the right move for the right reasons.

Totally agree

[Regal Kingston]

Came in as a 16 year old and looked a great prospect. 

Its a shame his head was turned. If he stayed here and got his head down he would be in a better place. A good example of what not to do for players coming through. 

 

Hope he rises back to the top.

Interestingly a few , non Hearts , people I know thought he looked like a real prospect . Obviously he did too .

I really think he would have come on a lot more with us . Still young enough to build a good career

[Mysterion]

Prime example of why having a “good” agent can steer players from chasing the big payday towards building a career that will reap rewards long term.

It was tricky. 

 

Just wasn't rated highly enough at Hearts to play centre half but did play regularly at full back latterly left back.

 

Ian Cathro started him in 3 at back before he was sacked. 

 

Maybe  would never have established himself at Hearts. But I thought he should have stayed instead of going to Middlesbrough. Playing is what matters not the position. 

 

But it is a risk whatever you do.

Was at that game, we were down to ten, if I mind.

Also think it was the same game where Paterson put in this tackle over at the Wheatfield and I thought, "we might have a player here". ("enthusiastic" shall we say)

 

[It should have been ten]

Pish player, found his level

He has no above attributes as a player in my opinion. Not strong in the air, not a leader, not a great passer of the ball. So what he had to do was work his socks off, and he never did that for us. And yes I think the Championship probably is his level, just like Calum Elliot and many others, they weren't good enough for an ambitious club like Hearts
