Remember the feeling amongst some of the fan base when he left. The guy wouldn't get in front of McEneff. Infact, I'd love our midfield to come up against him. He'll be back in the Championship...at best. I'll take a guess at Raith. Some genuinely wanted him to be made one of our highest earners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAndrew Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Good luck to the lad. If he had stayed he would probably be in a Henderson sort of situation. Not near enough the team, but seen as relatively decent 2rd or 4th choice. I'm always for young Scottish players who want to try their hand abroad. Just that this time the agent got an absolute bizarre move for him. Another 2nd tier European club might be a decent try for him. Nothing against him going overseas amd chasing an exciting life in his 20s. If he was not an £Xm sort of player that had walked out on is, I may feel different.

Cole Stockton is upfront for Morecambe in League 1!! Cole Stockton had to work his way up, he didn’t just stroll in to that level. Down back to non league level and grafted a career for himself. All credit to him. Is Andy Irving that type of grafter? Very questionable. I would say probably not. There’s a significant chance he’ll have to drop out of pro level and sign for a part time club in order to get the game time now. That starts off as a temporary thing then suddenly he’s 23, 24 year old Scottish league 1 player… it’s like he didn’t realise how easy it is to drop out the pro level and how risky that situation is.

Why would he probably have ended up in a henderson situation? Whats to say he wouldn’t have pushed on if he had stayed playing football at a decent level? He’s possibly threw away his chance at top league football so he could ***** about in german lower leagues. Im sure its been a super duper experience though and he can bore all his pals about it in the pub when he’s playing for kelty hearts.

I get that he should be applauded for trying something different, but the timing was a bit strange. I would have understood if it was at the start of the Championship season but he was a regular in the hearts side and would have played plenty games this season and had a crack at Europe next season.

Deevers Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I feel sorry for Andy. He was extremely poorly advised in all of this. There’s little doubt that he would have been better advised to have spent another couple of seasons with us. Sitting on the bench for a team playing in the lower echelons of the German leagues has hardly been a career enhancing decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batistuta87 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I reckon he's just fancied seeing another part of the world. Fair play to him for giving it a go. I'm sure every one of us would love to have had the chance to make a living from playing football whilst living abroad, at any level. If he wants to see a bit more of the world I'm sure he'll find plenty other clubs based in interesting destinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place seems to love when players leave fail. Exactly. I've only ever heard good things about him too. Has a talent and has been both poorly coached and advised is how I see it outside looking in. Hopefully gets a wee move even to Scottish Champ team and kicks on, makes it back to top league. Local lad, jambo. Hope he does well. I enjoyed watching him for Hearts a lot of the time, but do accept we've moved on and need more dynamic players in the team.

happyjam Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If his team have gone bust I'm sure he is classed as an "out of contract" and can sign for anyone just now. Given our current injury list wonder if we should think about giving him a contract to the end of the season as backup (just to be clear, not saying we should give him any longer than that).

Bongo 1874 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Would take him back, with Beni, Haring, and Devlin prepared to be the legs in midfield. He would add quality as a deep lying or more advanced playmaker, Left footer in the centre of midfield is what we are lacking. Him and Mckay linking up with play ☺.

The team have not quite gone bust yet. It's apparently still unclear if they'll continue playing next season, and what division they'll be in if they do. Have to imagine Andy will be out of there sharpish in the summer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's world beater, but it would be a total non risk signing if the wages are right. Personally think he would work well in a midfield supported by a Beni or a Cammy but for avoidance of doubt I'm absolutely looking at it with a squad depth status, not that I expect him to walk into our first 11.
