Leisham38 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Yesterday afternoon Barry Anderson tweeted there was ‘nothing imminent’ at Hearts. The next morning this guy is widely reported as signing.

Deevers Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 7 minutes ago, AndyNic said: Best defensive midfielder in the A League the last 2 years. 23yo. Exactly the sort of player we need in this league. After Haring got injured we really had no one who could be combative in the midfield. Looks like we might just have two shortly. I like what I’m seeing with Devlin. Hopefully concluded soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin AND Baningime would be some ball winning midfield duo it seems Loved that song back in the day, makes me feel old though. Which arguably I am! Got to agree looking at the stats, we would create turn overs of possession quite regularly which would hopefully allow for quick counter attacks.

CMc Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Haring when fit can play a relatively attacking role. An outright DM, two box to box players, an all rounder. seems a good balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King prawn Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Beni Halliday Haring McEneff Devlin Any 2/3 of those would be a midfield that would certainly give the back 3 protection and allow the front guys to stay high up the pitch (something Halliday mentioned was part of the game plan vs Celtic). The problem will be if we get any injuries in any other position - Devlin sounds like a great signing on paper but we need more in other areas.

Yup, with this signing we should be happy on the middle of the park. CB, and a forward who can play wide as a minimum still required.

Batistuta87 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 This Devlin lad sounds like he's got a bit of the Ryan Edwards about him. A kinda wee guy who is enthusiastic, works hard, puts himself about the pitch and isn't afraid to battle with the bigger guys. Fingers crossed he's a good signing 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad the impaler Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 So much for free transfers....that’s the two latest signings been under contract and fees paid.

Thought Police Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 With our system I’d say it’s curtains for McEneff, Haring and Pollock. Robbie will rotate between Beni, this guy and Halliday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 An interesting signing, certainly seems to be highly rated in Australia. Doubt we will see him play till at least the end of month because of work permit and quarantine. Saw St Johnstones head of recruitment reply to someone asking what player is he like (style wise) and he said Kante. Also saw an Aussie who is a fan of Everton say that Devlin is neater on the ball than Beni and the two would compliment each other. Certainly exciting time. The fact that this is the second central midfielder signed when we also have talked about the need of getting a defender thinks we are being very busy.

R1874 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Babderson and Kickback ITKs in shambles 😂😂 Looks a good player - decent midfield options. Interesting to see what happens with McEneff People complaining about depth... at the moment our ‘second Xi’ wouldn’t make it out the championship. We are one injury away from Halliday playing CM! CM is one of the most important positions there is and an area we have struggled. In space of a year replaced Irving and Olly Lee with Beni, Devlin and McEneff. Seemingly very good business indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 38 minutes ago, Berra than you said: Tbh if we are sticking with the 3-4-3 then I think the 2 central midfielders have to be sitters. Yes sure they can press forward, but most of the attacks should come from the front three and wing backs. Gives us another in there, with McEneff, walker and Pollock as more forward thinking options. When Jordan initially played 343, you would like consider Ferguson and Millar as 'sitters' but both played quite high too with of course Millar chipping in with goals.

Robbie will rotate between Beni, this guy and Halliday. Disagree. You have to mix it up a bit, during games as against Celtic and game to game. Haring I expect will go at end of contract but will have a back up role until then. Pollock and McEnuff provide something different, expect both to get significant game time as season goes on. Don't want to re-ignite the Halliday debate (not a big fan but appreciate his qualities) but expect him to revert to utility squad player rather than first choice CM.
