It was very poor quality and it looks like we have signed another player that can’t run. It looked like it was slow motion!! He will get a shock at the pace of the game up here like many players have in the past. Good finished though and looks like he can be in right place at right time.

Have to say, I'm not convinced given how poor that league is but you've got to give the boy the benefit of the doubt. We've only seen him scoring goals, tap ins mostly, which is part and parcel of what any striker does at any level. Given the set criteria Robbie has stated though, we haven't seen any highlights of his hold up play or general play etc.. Which is the thing that we're obviously looking for to add to our team.

Rick Sanchez Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I wanted him in the summer as I thought he'd be ideal in one of the sitting positions. Having now seen how inept he is in central midfield, I would say he'd be better as a defensive wide man, away from home against a top 6 team. Hopefully we can get rid at the end of the season, if not he can pick up splinters. It feels never ending saying 'get rid' but I've not taken to many, if any players these last few years.

Don Dan Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/elijah-adebayo-latest-hearts-pursuit-walsall-striker-robbie-neilson-gives-fresh-update-3110952 The Edinburgh club now hope to reach a deal with the English League Two side and complete his transfer before the January window closes. Walsall already rejected an offer from Tynecastle Park last week and want to keep the 23-year-old, who has ten goals from 28 appearances this season. However, Adebayo has verbally agreed a move to Hearts having been manager Robbie Neilson’s principal signing target for some time.

I liked him but it was a shame we didn’t see a lot of him. This summer we have the opportunity to release the out of contract players and replace them, hopefully on a one in and two out basis. There are plenty players who have played top flight football that we should start precontract talks with. It looks like we keep making the same mistakes and filling the squad out with over the hill journeyman. We need to get back to supplementing a young squad with four or five standout experienced players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium Tremen Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Halliday now showing why Celtic fans sing songs about him, let’s be honest. Work with a Rangers fan and he thought we’d made a great signing. Said his work rate and application was brilliant. Fairly evident he doesn’t have the same feeling for us as he did for the Huns.

Although RN has said he would like a midfielder and I don’t believe for a second we will go into next season with our current centre back options. My point is there might be money to do things you want plus bring in Adebayo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTJ Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Apparently the Walsall manager thought English rules applied - i.e. you couldn't approach him till the last month of the contract, while cross-border it is during the final 6 months. Robbie says he phoned him to explain the cross-border rules which the guy didn't know. I doubt Walsall have had many "international" signings! At least the clubs are talking now, which hopefully will speed things up/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I hope we are actively trying to get a quality CB in this window and a good midfielder or otherwise we are going to continue to ship goals to just about everyone in this league.
