Inch Hearts Posted March 25 Trialist from Ghana. Anyone heard anything about him apart from being a trialist from Ghana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrB1to4 Posted March 25 Highlights show him as the same kind of player as Djoum. Hopefully the kid does well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamboinglasgow Posted March 25 Evening news article here https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-run-the-rule-over-ghanaian-trialist-1-4895040?__twitter_impression=true Love to have a Cletus at the club. Though from how another poster said on the bounce game thread (dont know i we can name posters who haven't posted on this one) how he played, I would not hold my breath that we would sign him According to Transfermarkt he is an 18 year old Ghanian who is a left midfielder.

We've signed plenty of players over the years who had far bigger teams interested in them, who have turned out to be duds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a team of oxen and a plough on standbye just in case the pitch got flattened too much by all the dudes jogging around on it. Can Hearts just give £3 per month to Water Aid? Every team is looking for the next big thing out of Africa and I sincerely doubt Hearts are going to be the ones to discover him. We've been burned in the African market enough times to know better. How about we get back to blooding young Scottish players so that we can try to take 3 off San Marino next time...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rudi must stay Posted March 25 This boy is Djoum's replacement. Bet you, an 18 year old, I am not sure what to think about it. The pros are energy wise, he has plenty and a good passing range (obvious from videos), the cons are a lack of SPL experience and it's a total gamble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
To Be Frank Posted March 25 We should clearly only be signing proven top level players aged 24-28 who are the finished article. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tasavallan Posted March 25 Why do we hear about players coming for trials at Hearts when many will not be signed? Leaking of trialist's names does not happen as much at other Scottish clubs where usually the first you hear of the player is when they have signed (scarf over the head photo).

Seeing as this is a Hearts message board I'm going to go out on a limb here. And categorically state that Hearts could have playing week in and out the Scottish equivalent of Rooney, Giggs and Bale and we would not have all three play against San Marino.

Nookie Bear Posted March 25 Did we ask this guy to play wide left as part of a trial ?? Everything about him screams central midfield. You can see why he has caught the eye of Hearts: doesn't do anything too exciting but keeps possession and is tidy with the ball. Seems to have a good fizzicality about him as well.

That's what I like best. Proper athlete, typical CL signing this if it happens.

Dayman Posted March 25 That’s the standard of the Ghanaian premier league? A professional league? I’m going to get on skyscanner and find the next flight to Ghana, because I’m going pro. It looked worse than east of Scotland level, and so does he. i love the last highlight, where he missed the ball and they try to claim it was a step over or something.

When was the boy relegated with Partick sitting on the bench a proven top level player? Or long shots in the lower leagues down south? The Livi Captain is an improvement.
