Kiwidoug Posted August 14 I wonder if our training facilities and the youth tournaments we host which attract major clubs make us attractive for loan deals with prized prospects.

Kiwidoug Posted August 14 Much has been made that our forwards have suffered from poor service. Judging by the video it seems that thanks to his trickery and speed of movement, this guy can lay it on a plate with a pie supper with broon sauce and a pint of lager. Let's hope he signs tomorrow and plays on Friday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hearts1975 Posted August 14 Hopefully he is the link player and creative spark that can lay it on a plate for the strikers. I would normally be over the moon with a signing like this and watching some of the video it could be a fantastic signing. Happy in summary if he signs and will be even happier if Austin doesn't bother translating any team talks or half time dressing room chat into English for him . I'll get my coat ...

From our stadium upto the Oriam facility, even our media room. Only thing we don't have is Parking at tynecastle and is still a major issue, but i believe once the old nursery is away we'll look into that space and utilise it. There is even talk of adding another floor onto the skyline Things off the field for Hearts have never been better than it is right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon Hearts, we're all desperate for you to do well. Plenty of good players. Just start playing well and scoring goals. Remember what they are? They're the things Cluji got 4 of at parkhead that we got none of last Saturday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 14 I kind of agree with vega voss but we’d appeal and Man City would send Pep up to tell them how ****ing good this boy is.

Jesus they even listened to Csaba There must be some loophole in the law because Man City have to be paying the lad at Gronigen and he was the same , no work permit for City so loaned out immediately. Hopefully we get one , even if just because of your last paragraph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HMFC86 Posted August 14 7 minutes ago, maroonlegions said: So how did Man City sign him. They don’t need a work permit to sign him, just can’t play in England until he has one. So they can sign him and put him on loan to a country that will give him a WP until he qualifies for one in England. City & Chelsea do this a lot.

If you are in any way correct, then that might explain why he's (may be) coming to Hearts so soon after signing for Man City. The loan arrangement may even have been under discussion even before he signed for City, Hearts being a club with great facilities, playing at a good level, but where his relatively high City salary will/could be a deciding factor in gaining a visa.
