However I am told by a reliable friend that when CG turned down St Mirren offer, he told Jim Goodwin that he would be returning to Hearts no matter what league we were in. Done Deal 👍🏻 Please make it happen . A major part of our downfall has been our pish poor keepers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 He wouldn't have been my choice for GK but welcome back Craig. One huge plus is there won't be a better mentor out there for Harry Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll guess we’ll never hear from most of the loudmouths. They will just they are acting for the good of the game, just as the would have said they were acting for the good of the game when they chucked us out of the lifeboat.

The Old Tolbooth Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I also happen to know for a fact that Jamie McDonald would love to come back, but would he come back as a number 2, and would it stunt the progress of Stone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboBoy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Great pro. Great person. Jambo. Shot stopper we have not had for years. Also will improve our defence when they know they have him behind them. No-brainer for all concerned including Craig himself. Upwards and onwards. A few more signings and we are ready to go in what ever league we are playing in. Seems to still be a presumption in the media we will be playing in the Championship, but let’s just wait and see on that one as well. All very arrogant and presumptious as usual!

GavK1012 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 As someone else has said, in his first spell, prob the only time I think we could say we have a top class/world class player in our ranks.... He could hold his own in any company...I am over the moon if he returns...I think easily 2-3 years at a level we havent had in a number of years at our disposal and a chance for young Harry to watch, learn and try and emulate...

Rick Sanchez Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I don't think Gordon will have been happy with the way he's been treated at Celtic tbh. 1st choice to 3rd choice while going for a treble treble. But here's a new contract on lesser terms...but could you hold on until we see if we can get Forster in first? No chance, he's ours if we want him IMO.

In no way am I suggesting he should be No. 1, but he has played at a decent level and is in and around the Irish national team also. You don't get into that for sentimental reasons. Bobby, I reckon still has aspirations of being a number 1, and is very erratic. New No 1 (Id take Gordon), Stone & Doyle for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
