Famous 1874 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Alan Campbell and Stuart Findlay? Yes please Hearts. Exactly the type of signings we should be making on a consistent basis.

Deans Jambo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Campbell is exactly the type we need in our midfield.

Heard Stephen Robinson on Scottish Football Podcast the other day talking about the stresses which lead to him quitting Motherwell, and one of the key points was the annual need to rebuild a team as players want to leave at the end of contracts or sign pre contracts. He hinted that this was an issue again this season and it sounded like he had some players ready to sign pre contracts for other clubs.

It’s as if Wighton wasn’t as crap the boo boys said he’d be so they turned their attention to the next guy to have a bad game. I’m not saying Roberts is good or bad, I mean I can’t really as I’ve not seen enough of him to make a solid conclusion. But no one has, yet they still have these hardcore opinions about him.
