Hearts transfers (Cochrane goes on loan to Montrose)

There was an interview with Sam Nicholson (good friend of Cummings I think) where he stated that he was kicked out of Hearts for misbehaviour and not because of his injury. Whoever was coaching the U16s got fed up with the police showing up at training retrieving the bikes Jason had nicked to get himself there on time. 

 

We've got a pretty decent track record through many coaches of keeping troublemakers a la Riordan and O’Connor out. Not sure I’d be interested in him. Except for the seethe from Lochend.

 

This wins the Internet.

Out of those 21 Ikpeazu contributed more on the pitch than 20 of them (only Clare contributing more I’d say) in my opinion And he’s contributed more than some still at the club. But oddly enough Ikpeazu is the one getting all the pelters and childish insults such as “he’s ***** shite” from people who likely struggle to get a game at fives even if only 9 people showed up.

 

100%

 

Struggle to get a game at 5's if only 9 showed up..... 🤣🤣

All the best to Uche.  Hope he does well.

Thank you. I’ll accept the apologies from the others as soon as they’re ready.

[Jamboscanbevicius]

21 players out the door 😮 that is a cull right enough. Says it all that I don’t think we’ll greatly miss any of them either. Hopefully we can reach 25+ by getting shot of Zlamal, Hickey, White, Wighton, Damour and Lee

 

I think Gordon and Roberts will be really good additions. We need to add a handful more and then make sure there’s space to blood Irving and hopefully a few others.

He may feel he will back left back to start, but able to push for first choice which can be attractive, especially as he has been at Celtic before and could get European football. Hopefully it has come too late and Bayern have made him feel wanted.

 

Genuinely hope so.

[gregzy2k7]

All the best to big Uche! Cheers for the goals against the hobos! and also he was a big reason for our great start to the 2018/19 season! It's a shame he got injured and wasn't the same after that.

Anyway onwards and upwards I hope we can bring in two more strikers now.

[SomethingAboutObua]

What ever happened to the Stephen Kinglsey chat? To be honest I hope we're not in for him, would rather we gave Garuccio a chance instead of bringing in yet another injury prone left back to start ahead of the two we already have who are now finally fit. 

I feel like if we sign him we've just not learned anything about how hopeless that is as a transfer policy.

[The Internet]

Tbf I think most relegated teams have a bit of a clear out. My big worry with relegation was that we wouldn't be able to shift some of the absolute dross we've accumulated on relatively obscene wages so glad we've managed to do that.

Surely if Uche can find a championship team paying him enough to leave the contract he was on at Hearts, then Damour can too.

[fila]

Glad he is away , big lad never really did enough. Damour going would be excellent but feel he will hang on in for another season .

Uche showed flashes of being useful. Damour is just absolutely shit.

 

Not that bothered that Uche has left. He was so limited, despite how hard He tried.

[hisnameis]

Big Uche seemed to give his all on and off the park. Great attitude and showed respect to the club and fans. Best of luck to the guy. Will get a welcome from the fans any time he visits.

[And he’s not praying!]

Good luck to the big man. Wasn’t refereed fairly for the most part and probably best for him and us that he’s moved on. The goals at Easter Rd will live long in the memory.

Given that Aidy White is fully participating in pre season training I think he will be a revelation this season.

[Leveins Battalion]

 

Anybody questioning as to why we were such a mess last season (and well before that also) just needs to look at the fact we have let 21 players go,5 coaching staff and still have a squad of 22 on the books.

 

It was the worstcase of stockpiling shite i have ever seen at our club,at least when Vlad done it there was some quality in there.

 

The work Robbie and his team JJ and the fall guy Murray have done in shifting on this dross is just a few weeks is nothing short of miraculous!

 

Now for some building.

[Uncle Buck]

Uche is a good lad. Although he isn’t the best player in the world, he had the heart of a lion. Scored some big goals at Easter Road and Hampden too.

 

Good luck to him.

Still 22 players after all that dross is away is quite revealing.

Two thirds of them were unquestionably first team players: Bozanic, Dikamona, Avdijaj, Langer, MacLean, Meshino, Pereira, Sibbick, Burns, Clare, Morrison, Doyle, Washington, Ikpeazu

 

And a fair few of the others like Burns, Baur, Petkov, and Currie have been in a lot of matchday squads.

 

There are various reasons for this, including changing manager mid-season, but by any measure it is a huge overhaul that has shone a spotlight on just how much dead weight we all knew was in the squad!

Left and right back look mighty bare. Stone needs loaned out and Zlamal needs sold. Along with Damour but we all know that.

A fit Aidy White player would be the best left back in this gash league.

Good luck Uche. Loved watching the chaos you created when dumping defenders on their arses. Always gave 100%.

Stone is injured until January or he would be involved in the 1st team squad. 

Zlamal will stay as we need to work with 3 keepers in case Gordon gets injured or sent off. 

Damour we can only hope someone takes him

 

Left & Right back will be fine as we have good youngsters in Cammy Logan & Leo Watson who can help out if others are injured. 

And 4 CB's is good as others like Smith or Haring can cover. 

 

Think one more striker is needed & another wide man and that's probably all we'll see unless more go out

Best of luck Uche. Just didn’t happen enough but when it went right he terrorised defences and it was a joy to watch. Never stopped trying too - wish him all the best.

Surely even this squad is enough to get out of this pi$$y league. I'm not a fan of lee or wighton but even they would likely do enough in this league. Keep the wage bill down and then strengthen next season when we should be back in the premiership and hopefully things back to normal with crowds.

We’ve got Boyce and Henderson with any first team experience unless I’m forgetting someone. Neither have set the Heather alight. Wighton is shite and Naismith won’t play up front. I’d say we need at least 2 strikers in. Hoping Cummings is one because that’s the Sort of standard we’ll need to assure promotion.
