It’s tragic people make up stupid wee stories about Cummings being seen at training etc. Got to wonder if some people are just desperate wee attention seekers.

 

I also received a text from a mate who was at Riccarton yesterday and swore it was Cummings up there.

There was someone who said that there were city representatives looking around riccarton/oriam the other day so there may be something in it. Or 2 + 2 = 5 and said representatives were just looking around with a view to having a youth team in next season's international cup (or whatever it's called)

Ko Itakura? The Japanese guy from Man City? On loan at FC Groningen according to Wikipedia. Unless you know otherwise of course... Defensive Midfielder, capped at U20 and full international level for Japan.

😡

Cheers EtE, wasn't sure who it was so didn't want to guess as that's how sh*t starts getting stirred on here.

Finally seen the hearts twitter video. While the boots tied part is deliberate, the phone tone is not connected, the Hearts tv commentary did that sometimes when it lost connection. So I am sure it's from the commentary of the Hearts v Arbroath game.

Just Hearts being clever. Probably tieing his boots before the closed door game

This Itakura rumour sounds great but he’s supposedly on loan at Groningen until next summer...

 

Just saw a Dutch article saying he was at a club fan event for Groningen on Sunday, so I would be surprised if he came to us (unless Man City felt he was not getting game time.)

He played in a friendly for Groningen 2/3 days ago, he is not getting much game time at all in Holland

Salary savings on Djoum, Edwards, Martin, Sammon, Godinho, Lee etc. Hope we bring in one top quality CM. Not sure about the politics of breaking our wage structure. Needs must do they not ?

Why would he be training with another club when he’s contracted and playing for Nottingham Forrest?

It also says he is a CH but can also play DMF.

Can you imagine the seethe on here if he was outstanding at DM?  The resident moaners would be claiming CL only stumbled over that change by accident.

Has loan ending 2020 - might look like its ended.

Yes. Everywhere including Transfermkt says loan is to 2020.

 

Maybe find out Saturday when Groningen play first league game though he was with Japan in Copa America in summer.

You could break your wage structure without receiving extra funding.

There is an L and presumably R on the socks. Could be specially made for Cummings... 

 

Although he seems to have the L and R the right way round

He's been told he can leave forest so training with another club would effectively be a trail rather than just training.

 

If that were to be with Hearts it'd be to prove his attitude has changed. He's seemingly desperate for a return but 1 member of staff at Hearts has so far veto'd the move.

Yes 30 June 2020 is actually next year!

The lay out on Transfermkt is confusing. Easily done.

I would think 2 if Lee moves but certainly things are underway

 

“If I can get another one or two midfielders in, that will definitely help us.' as per the Manager

Hearts twitter put a teaser that Naisy is singing today!

I wonder what song it'll be?;)

Definitely Naismith's boots in the video, wondering what the dialing tones mean.

 

Hopefully it's a cringey 'skit' where Naismith ties his shoes, dials a number, and declares "Hi James Morrison, the gaffers getting the band back together.'

Has hearts ever had a marquee signing? Maybe just me but I can’t think of any. Some no bad players over the years, but none that make me go ‘amazing’, we’ve won a watch there 

 

For our level, league and budget, Jankauskis and Fyssis definitely were. Maybe Pinilla. I’d say Niemi, Derek Ferguson, Dave McPherson, Fuller, Naismith, Bruno, Lafferty, Robbo from newcastle and Berra qualify too as very good players - most internationals - still near their peak signed from a good level club. Some cost us a lot of money.

 

And Brian Hamilton of course.

Ok I'll start. 

 

Going for a 2 minutes past 4 announcement of Naismith. Both scorelines on the "on this day" video are 4-2 

 

Clutching at straws here...

Another way to look at it along your lines of thinking. Maybe the 4-2 is giving the 24 hours to go call to his signature being put on paper? When does the 13th month payment officially come? 31st or before?

A Cummings reference?

 

Indefensible.

 

Oh, you guys... it was in response to someone saying “Cummings was in the Forest team”.

 

They were Fiordland Crested Penguins... they nest in forests. I don’t know why I bother trying to educate you lot sometimes.

 

I’d be better off trying to teach the penguins instead. 🙄

Who was the Greek striker we nearly signed in leveins 1st stint?I'm sure he attended a game and was about to sign?Giorios Vakouftis or something?

Yep ... still got his strip that he never wore.  His agent smuggled him out the stadium when the protesting started.  Then we signed Ricardo Fuller the following week

Also vetoed by him not being good enough!

 

Good luck to the laddie elsewhere!

This is probably due to stubbornness not wanting to admit that we shouldn’t have let him go when he was a youngster! What’s the harm in letting him train? Naisy been training with the first team and not a signed player either

Appears to be a suggestion there is more to it than that ?

Maybe because Naismith is signing and Cummings isn't.

 

Just a thought.
