CJGJ Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) There are stories about him in last 24 hours or so in the Italian press/media with some pictures Il Resto del Carlino https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/bologna/fc/hickey-1.5515945 Bologna, 16 September 2020 – First group training session for Aaron Hickey,left-back class of 2002, who today began to taste Mihajlovic's methods and to become familiar with the rest of the team. The Scot, picked up by the Heart of Midlothian and waiting to be made official, had already been seen on the fields of Casteldebole yesterday for a purely athletic session, while today he was inserted, in attack drills against defence, in a 4 line composed of him, De Silvestri, and the pair Danilo-Denswil in the middle. The full-back was able to take the field with his team-mates after receiving confirmation of negativity to the buffer carried out; the same fate for Claudio Fenucci, also negative result after spending the last period in trust isolation, and ready to return to his work.

The Scotsman, taken from the Heart of Midlothian and waiting to be made official, had already seen himself yesterday on the fields of Casteldebole for a purely athletic session, while today he was included, in attack against defense exercises, in a 4-way line made up of him, De Silvestri, and the couple Danilo-Denswil in between. The full-back was in fact able to take the field with his teammates after receiving confirmation of negativity to the swab carried out; same fate for Claudio Fenucci, who was also negative after spending the last period in fiduciary isolation, and therefore ready to return to his work. Wednesday, at Bologna, characterized by a double session in view of the first away match of the year, that of Monday at Milan: in the morning I work in athletic and tactical groups, while in the afternoon, as mentioned, exercises and attack tests against defence. For Medel therapies and differentiated training, while tomorrow, Thursday, the team will have a session behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie Boot boy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) BackOfTheNet Thanks for the news taken from the Heart of Midlothian . Any idea if a loan or sold ?

Guest ToqueJambo Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I am ridiculously excited about following Hickey's progress. Will be tuning in to Bologna games. Last time I can remember being this interested in one of our own making the step up was Robbo going to Newcastle and Gordon to Sunderland. Sounds like Bologna will know how to use Hickey, unlike Newcastle with Robbo. Unlike Calum P who you feel has found a level and won't really get any better, Hickey seems to have that something extra to genuinely have a chance of getting to a very high level.

When asked why, word about the best cup final in history gets spread even further. Looking at Hickey's rival for LB, Dijks hasn't exactly had a stellar career son far. A very good career with decent number of games with Ajax and Bologna, but no senior caps. It's not unrealistic for Hickey to think that's someone he can dislodge.

HMFC01 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) If he failed we would all know about it. Did someone not post he had an option of staying here for a year or opt to pursue a first team bash right away. Maybe he hasn't decided yet. Don't go mad by quoting me furiously, was just itching my mind. Having got that off my mind, the fact we are looking for a new left back would extinguish that idea ☺ Edited September 18, 2020 by HMFC01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Maybe there is someone coming our way on loan as part of the arrangement?

A bit harsh on Calum Paterson but I know what you mean an established EPL side are unlikely to pay money for him but I think he will always be useful to teams like Cardiff who are pushing for promotion and could get more EPL games under his belt if they go up. Hickey on the other hand could make the step up depending on how the next few seasons go. I'll be looking out for both their results.

BackOfTheNet Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Seemingly Hickey’s representatives are holding up the deal while they “iron out” the details.
