Like from the clash of the titans (original) movie, also Jason and the argonaut scene with neptune. It's cleverly done, perhaps a bit cheesy looking.

kila Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 🤣 Some unveil. Going to look forward to watching Bologna's games. Would've loved him to keep developing at Hearts but he's at least pushing himself hard by going abroad. Here's hoping we have a nice sell on clause because he's got the potential to be a player of high interest for many top clubs within his 5 year deal.

Spellczech Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) After too many young players failing to reach their potential or leaving for negligible fees or free transfers let's hope this move of Hickey's shows the youngsters that if they buckle down they can leave for a good fee - a club paying money for your services guarantees you greater consideration for game opportunity as they have something to lose over the course of your contract - and gets the Academy going. I hope Robbie continues to give youth a chance but in the right way. As for Hickey it is the right move. They play football with a bit of brains in Italy so it can only help him.

Seymour M Hersh Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Delighted for the lad and if it doesn't work out for him there it won't be down to lack of attitude or ability. I did laugh at Levein's qote though. "I spent the last three or four months trying to get him to sign a new contract. It was extremely difficult because he doesn't say anything."
