You have to ask who he wasn’t signed before then to avoid a fee? You don't really. You can just say- "welcome to Hearts" and hope he's a good player that adds quality to the team.

Considering how much of our money they’ve wasted over the last few years I think it’s a fair question to ask, not that I would expect a journalist to ask or find out why.

CMc Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I like the fact that we’ve signed two aggressive deep lying midfielders. we are either going to have a VERY combative midfield (finally) or they can both get stuck right in and cover each other’s suspensions.

TyphoonJambo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 50 minutes ago, Aussie Jambo said: Not as big as Aussie Rules or NRL but it’s got a big fan base. More than hearts on some big games. Sydney FC ground now getting a refurb. It’ll be huge. We’ve a lot of people not from Australia. I’ve been here for 20 years. Mainly Brits, Irish, Europeans, South Americans.Ex Soviets countries, Asian Chinese Japanese etc. So massive following here. Especially Soccer Roos (****ing hate the word soccer) lots of ex Scots involved in football here. But when you get sick of getting up at 12am or 2am to watch Hearts (Early morning) then you start to watch football in Australia. No brainer. It’s not the same as home but it’ll do. Fans are a bit Euro/South American in chants but the occasional UK chant will show up. We all still support our home teams but follow local teams like Sydney FC, all states have a few teams. So it’s ok. Plus we get a lot of players coming here to play. It’s been going for a while and it keeps getting bigger. Especially with the younger generation. Even got casuals as well. I shit you not. 😂 We don't have casuals anymore,we've got poncey pavement dancers with D&C manbags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_HMFC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Don't know anything about the lad but after reading a few reports on him from people who have seen him play, I'm confident he's another player who'll make a massive difference to our side.

innerjambo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'll reserve judgement on Devlin, as we've heard it all before, only to be disappointed in yet another bench warmer. He sounds a very good prospect, and at 23 a gamble worth taking. We said we wanted quality over quantity, so let's see, and give him the backing required to hit the ground running.
