rudi must stay Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I think Levein's comments about needing a player with physicality are hinting at Mulumbu to be honest.

cosanostra Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mulumbu would be a French speaker right? Met numerous Congolese and they speak English with French accents. I think he's a quality player and would be a big improvement on Djoum. Hope he signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was down at Dalmahoy today and saw someone that looked very like Mulumbu there. The guy had an african accent and he was with 4 kids (who had English accents, which would tally with his time spent down south) and there was also an older Scottish woman with him who I would guess would be Hearts PA/fixer. I know Hearts put up players or potential signings at the Dalmahoy as I saw Doyle there last year just after he'd signed. Might be putting 2+2 together and getting 5 here but I checked on Google images straight after and it certainly looked like him. A lot of people on here think 2+2 is 5.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even looking at big clubs with big budgets and limitless resources, the strike rate will prob be 50/50, as above (taking it as fact!). Difference at big clubs is less player turnover. Which will be the case with us from now too I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are interested in Mulumbu, and he told prospective clubs he's not willing to make a decision until he's back from AFCON, and consults with his family as to what's best for them. And not what's best for Hearts or other teams? Radical thought perhaps. You're losing it man. Mulumbu would be a cracking signing. Hope we are at least asking questions.

He was getting booed before he had touched the ball . Hardly the worst performance that night . Not exactly a Sammon fan but always gave 100% , unlike some .
