henry Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 He was what we needed, someone with energy & dynamism and able to close down quickly. Don’t think I he got a fair crack at Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Feels like a player we might’ve found a use for atm tbh.

dazinho88 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Pity he was let go as the limited number of times I've seen him would suggest he would have done well under Stendel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRightPeg Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Was a bit perplexed when we let him go in the summer, especially after the way he finished last season.

iantjambo Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Would’ve slotted into Stendels style of play nicely. Would’ve done more than Damour and Whelan combined. Yet another colossal **** up by Levein. Signs him, doesn’t play, eventually plays him and he does well (scores in cup final), let’s him go! ******* idiot!

Moving him on the basis that we were well covered in mid-field was strange to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatori5 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Picked for a start at the cup final ahead of Bozanic etc however Levein couldn’t wait to empty him. Utterly bizarre given he was our best player from Easter Road until the end of the season. However when CL doesn’t like you then ur days are numbered from the word go.

DG_HMFC Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ryan Edwards is shite and definitely not what we need. Bozanic, amongst others, run about and have energy but they bring zero quality to actually get us results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Police Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Let’s not re-write history. He was universally written off by the majority of hearts fans.

thewiseone Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ryan Edwards another baffling decision in amongst a host of baffling decisions in the last 3 years. Exactly what we've needed. No wonder Djoum left having to play in a system which clearly didn't work! Levein did similar with Danny Grainger at Dundee United. Both players Edwards and Grainger definitely not world beaters but both good energy and 100% committed, and both scorers in cup finals for us. The wrong type of characters for our former boss- winners mentality , not required in Gorgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allowayjambo1874 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Bizarre signing from start to finish, don’t think he let us down when he played.

He may have been limited technical wise but he always gave his all and caused problems for the opposition. He was the same for Partick when he played for them and caused us problems at Tynecastle.

I suspect the only people writing him off early last season were those scrambling to justify his going out on loan so soon after being signed.

jambonian Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It was just another baffling signing by Levein. I mean, why even bother signing him? Sends him out on loan, asked for him back in January, not play him even after his return then when he eventually does, he puts himself about, shows a bit of determination and even scores in a Cup Final. His reward? Cheerio! Fair play to Edwards, never said a bad word when he left even though he'd probably be entitled to. Under-used but not bitter about it. Good luck to him.

I can't speak for others and no-one can speak for me. He wasn't written off by me. I knew he had a bit of an engine about him and there were many games last season where him buzzing about the midfield may have made a bit of difference, and he showed it when he did get a chance. He was never going to be top notch but he showed more in his few appearances than plenty others who rarely got dropped, even though they should've been. He left with his head held high, nothing to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
