If he was any good they'd have snapped him up surely with that tie up no? Just a thought... Na they'll be using their Doig money to buy Spinazzola or the likes.

Niemi’s gloves Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 6 minutes ago, Ibrahim Tall said: Probably, to be honest under the financial constraints I’d even understand that. The club just blatantly lying and pretending we’ve signed some superstar prospect from Brighton that everybody wants and that we’re so ‘lucky’ to get, doesn’t help anyone though, Cochrane especially. Even a quick glance at his career so far shows actually playing for Hearts senior team would be by FAR the biggest challenge and highest level he’s been at so far. Kid will have enough pressure on him without pretending we’ve signed Reece James. Every club talks up its signings. To accuse the club of “blatantly lying” is just stupid.

jamboinglasgow Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Good to see a signing, with Kingsley fitness needing longer it is a wise signing to make. Hopefully he fully embraces his chance at Hearts and with only a year left on his contract (which Brighton renewed last month) that if he performs well we can signing longer term. Also find it funny that Hibs go into a partnership with Brighton, Brighton have since loaned promising players to two of Hibs rivals.

BackOfTheNet Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Never heard of the guy until he signed, so I have no worries about him as have had no knowledge of him to have worries. Complete blank canvas and we’ll see how he does. I’m with others though, my only worry about this signing is that Neilson sees Halliday in central midfield. That’s deeply worrying.

It seem more like the sort of back-up signing that would sneak into a newspaper's in-brief column rather than a transfer to be lauded. The full quote from Savage is. We saw off competition from other clubs to get Alex’s signature so this deal is a bit of a coup. This might put a bit more prespective on your comments.

Prob just big Horse ripping them Him having got another year is a positive for us, as is the fact it's only a year. 1) they think well enough of him to extend rather than release 2) he's playing for a contract, if not with them, then somewhere It's a decent position to be in with a young loanee. He can't coast and think "ach, just a loan, I'll be back down the road soon enough". He has to give it his best shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just now, wavydavy said: Knowing our luck with injuries that would be no surprise. Robbie did say in a recent interview that he was hoping Kingsley would be available for some of the cup games coming up but I don't think he has taken part in full training yet. Yet Andy Halliday seemed to play his better stuff wide left of a back three so this is a strange signing. Nothing against the boy but a centre-half is desperately needed and should be prioritized. This would suggest to me that Neilson wants to return to his favoured defensive formation (Halliday in the middle) rather than the 3-5-2 we ended the season on. Hmm!

Welcome Alex. We have one of the biggest squads in the country and we have no cover for left back? Quite an indictment of our "football department". I hope he does well and would be delighted if he does. I am with Ibrahim Tall - it is the ridiculous hype about this latest step in Robbie "building his squad" that I don't get. Notable too that he was apparently out with injury for half last season explaining his having only 5 appearances in the Belgian second tier.. If this helped them to the title as our hype suggests maybe he is some player! Edited June 28, 2021 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern/frustration is that we are now in the second week of pre-season and less than a fortnight from our first competitive game and a loan signing from Brighton reserves is the only addition to last season's squad.

Both teams which turned out at Linlithgow played 4-2-3-1. Mind you given shortage of centre halfs couldn't really have played 3 at the back. Haring & Darge CH first half, Souter and Pops second. Left back second half was Macauley Tait who set up fifth goal but Football First says is usually in midfield so we do seem to need some depth there. (Halliday played centre midfield alongside Damour first half, neither inspire confidence, personally hope both move on.) Welcome Alex.
