Now that he is no longer our player I can be honest and say what my gut feeling has always been about this player. I genuinely feel that if it wasn’t for his pace then this guy would be paying subs to play amateur football each week.

A more measured summation I genuinely we see a microcosm of society on fans forums, folk feeling they can say or do anything online without any repercussions. Mind you I see fans behaving like animals at games all the time so it’s no surprise they act poorly online too. Don’t say it online I you wouldn’t say it to their face.

ToadKiller Dog Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I hoped he would have stepped up ,showed a bit of skill at times ,never looked as if his heart was really in it or that he would find a high level of consistency.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) So this goes down as a good piece of business then? Like, as a matter of fact. the truth is he improved from his arrival but not enough - shouldn’t be a figure of hate and his missus should never have had to hear racist twats in our support being racist about him there is a bit of a theme along these lines amongst our “hearts family”...

tartofmidlothian Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 1 hour ago, MarkDevriesScores4 said: Personally thought last season he was one of our most improved players. He won us a couple of pens chasing nothing balls and put in a shift in most games he featured. Not the same player this season for whatever reason and it has clearly not worked out. The best outcome for both club and player is that he moves on for a fee which has happened. Wish Jake and family all the best in the states and with the rest of his career. Good post, all true. He threatened to look quite good for a while, but just not Hearts standard. Good deal for all concerned today, all the best to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Good luck to him. I hope he's successful with Atlanta (except when he's playing against Toronto.)

JimCornette Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 He was unlucky with the whole ear phones debacle. The context killed him. Had it been Rudi on a hot streak of form out there warming up with ear phones in most of us wouldn't have minded. But it was Mulraney, off the back of a horrendous spell of personal and team form and it just made him look like he had a bad attitude in a crisis time for the club. Hopefully things work out better at his next club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 They've sold Almiron and replaced him with Mulraney.. I do think he will do okay over there, pace a big asset in that league. I would imagine he will turn into a bit of a Andy Driver and this will be the first of many random moves around the world ending back up at Dundee Utd at 28.

Shaggy2 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 To be fair, when he played well, Hearts played well, which was about three times in 2019. 👍 I’m no fan of Clare (yet), although he has impressed recently, but I found myself sympathising with him every time he took stick and Mulraney seemed to get off with doing absolute zero. Best hide n seek player we’ve had for a long time. Having said all that I wish nobody any ill. Good luck. 🇺🇸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Shillyshally Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Nice change to actually sell a player and make some money. As others have said that is a (minor) success in itself. I remember seeing him against Dunfermline at EEP. He looked pish then and never really improved. Some say he lacks confidence. I suspect it's his lack of ability that's let him down more. He put a good ball in for Halkett to score in the LC v Aberdeen, but other than that I'm struggling to think of positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
