I said so can Lee, but as Lee showed in his first season being good at that and providing some assists is not enough on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll worry about things like that when we aren’t only 2 games into a season. (THAT is 2 games! When a majority of the players haven’t played since March!)

Smith play well for Hearts at RB for a long longtime. Infact, I remember him vividly during our 1-1 draw v Motherwell towards the end of last season, failing to put in one decent cross from about 20 plus opportunities.

But that was because Vlad knew he’d be sold for big bucks a little bit down the line. He actually done the same with Driver a few years later. Vlad thought he would go for the same as Gordon. He just got in the England u21 team and I’m sure we knocked back a seven figure sum for him. Vlad gave him a huge new deal. We know what happened next.

Smith is away at the end of the season. He's out of contract and I can't see him signing an extension considering his family situation (built a house down south, wife lives there already with their 2 kids...). We should be looking to nail someone down on a pre-contract in January as a priority. Although he's probably not quite as good as Smith, O'Donnell for me is the ideal replacement. Has done well in the time he's played in the league and is now in the Scotland team. And actually, I think the reason for him signing such a short term deal with Motherwell is because there's some kind of work being going on behind the scenes where we've perhaps agreed to sign him if we're promoted. But that could just be blind optimism on my part. If not, then the likes of Jason Naismith, Luke O'Nien and Donald Love are all out of contract from L1 down south. Sticking to Scotland, we could do worse than brining Liam Smith back and Nicky Devlin will be available too.

That's has to be his longterm position if we decide to keep him beyond the end of this season. O'Donnell can play WB, not as good defensively but he's decent going forward.

There was a perfectly good right-back available in the summer but typically of Hearts in recent years, we didn't go and get him. Steven O'Donnell would've been a great signing. A Scotland right-back that likes to get forward, decent tackler and was handy for scoring a good few goals for Killie when he was there.

HMFC01 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I would expect it means it has been left open by hearts, not left unpicked by the players. Of course it could be the same story but alternative words, mentioned by Robbie already. The story he says no one wanted it. That's the kind of stuff the media do to get hits.

He only signed at Motherwell until January to keep himself in in the shop window and in Scotland contention. Arguably both of those things would have been less possible at Hearts. I very much doubt we didn't sign him because Neilson isn't aware of him or his abilities anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
