Was clearly too naive to bullying tactics of defenders and got too wound up, and could be easily marked out of a game, but one thing he did have going for him was actually his willingness to get on the ball and have a pop. If anything he was too greedy at times, so your comment is strange to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if anything else will happen this week, but if I had to guess I’d say today will be the announcement of the new backup keeper that will have everyone reaching for their Alan Partridge shrug gifs and (hopefully) tomorrow Hickey’s departure has fee/contract clause announced. UPDATED Monday - Roberts in Tuesday - Doyle out Wednesday - Coaches confirmed Thursday - Stewart in / Washington out Friday - ? You do wonder if anything will happen today after the fiasco that was yesterday. Perhaps Hickey off? Rumours Ikpeazu wasn’t at training yesterday so could be off? Frear has been confirmed as part of training but not in any photos or videos, Akhmatov rumoured to be on trial too but no confirmation of this other than his Instagram post in Edinburgh last week. With training suspended could deals be offered to those two? Or will we advise them we’re going in another direction or ask them to hang around until training starts again?

He wants to be in the Scotland squad for the nations cup in October, and other than the SPL, there aren’t many leagues running that will guarantee him game time that are heavily scouted by the Scottish national team scouts. Motherwell also have Europe, so that’s a boost for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course now they’ve got the quarantine too, so not sure how he’s affected. And we still have no real confirmation he’s trialling with us either.

Curious to see how things may be affected with this alteration in training. There can be little doubt that any effect on recruitment can only be bad. Only an extremely lazy player would be keen to come to a club with training suspended, and how do you check out how a player looks at training if there is no training? Unless it had already been decided that no more players were going to be signed (and I doubt that is the case), then we will almost certainly miss out on one or two targets. Another boost for Hibs as the the semi-final approaches, Rod Petrie will be particularly sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly. Said it a few times, all these international players need to be playing with Euro 2021 around the corner. So he's not got a suitable offer from England and he needs to play until the Scotland play offs. He's shown no commitment to Motherwell with that deal and by the time January comes, we should be back to normal. Just a theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchies75 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 From Daily Record: Championship new boys Wycombe Wanderers want Uche Ikpeazu, writes Scott Burns. The newly-promoted side are keen to land the Hearts striker. The 25-year-old is one of Hearts’ bigger earners but head coach Robbie Neilson is prepared to let him go to add to his own squad. Ikpeazu made an impact under Craig Levein but fell down the pecking order under Daniel Stendel at the end of the season. That has alerted Wycombe who sees him as a similar frontman to Adebayo Akinfenwa. Chairboys boss Gareth Ainsworth wants the former Watford and Cambridge United forward to help his team make an impact after their shock promotion. Hearts have already moved on several players with Conor Washington being sold to Charlton Athletic and Sean Clare to Oxford United Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 If we can get him off the wage bill then it's a no brainer. Frees wages up to bring someone in that doesn't fall on their back side at every turn. One of the most frustrating players to have played for us recently. At times he looked unplayable but ever since he was injured he has never been the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
