Section Q Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) No great surprise there..... """Former Hearts left back Demetri Mitchell has been released by Manchester United at the end of his contract. He’s one of a number of youngsters being allowed to leave Old Trafford when their contracts expire in June. He could interest a number of Scottish clubs after impressing during his two loan spells at Tynecastle.""" https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/transfer-news-live-rangers-celtic-22249010#405033 Edited June 25, 2020 by Section Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille's Thirsty Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would 100% have him back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 If Hickey goes we could do a lot worse. Think injuries made it quite hard for him to hit his stride but there is heaps of potential there. Suspect wages could be a huge, huge stumbling block though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I didnt rate him highly when playing in a back 4, found his defensive side to lacking. When he was aged further forward though I thought he was decent though. Either as a wing back when we played with a back three or when played as a winger.

kila Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think he had potential and showed skill at moments. His spell post injury was poor though, maybe a confidence thing. Would take him back if he wasn't going to cost much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 He was always injured or carrying an injury during his second spell. Still a young guy, still a good player. Would happily have him here at left mid or wing back. Not so much as a full back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki has him at Hutchie up to 2015. I would certainly be interested in taking Hamilton. He is a very good player. He was at Hutchie and played in the same team as Sean McKirdy and Regan Hendry, but was the best of the three. McKirdy came to Hearts and is now with Kelty, while Hendry went to Celtic and is now at Raith Rovers. Hendry actually played a pre season with Hearts U16s, before being lured by the green pound..

been here before Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Great first spell until his injury but pretty run of the mill subsequently, when he managed to get a game. Great goal v St Johnatone and that trick/dummy/stepover thing he done at Fir Park still leaves me baffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything2 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Think Mitchell was unlucky with us. Looked great when he first arrived at leftback/wingback but his inexperience and lack of positional sense became more apparent as time went on then got injured. Second spell he moved forward and again looked like a proper player during our early season good form. Once the injuries to other key players kicked in he again didn't have the experience to be a leader but then not many young player on loan do. Had Naismith, Haring, Berra, Souttar etc. remained fit I think we would have got a good season out of him and he would have got good development.

Pagey Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Was he not being "converted" from winger to play left back by/at Man U? Maybe now he's free to go where he wants, he'll also prefer to play further forward. IMO probably a better idea as not that good a defender.

Bazzas right boot Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 He'd be decent for us. Postionally a bit niave but a good attacking player, technical with skill. I'd take him and whtye as lb options next season no problem. I still have hope Whyte will come good, the lad is a footballer and lightening quick, just rusty defensively and really unlucky with injuries. I think Mitchell might get a gig in the championship tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
