jamboinglasgow Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/cameron-devlin-i-was-in-tears-getting-uk-visa-i-watched-hearts-beat-hibs-5-1-and-now-i-want-my-dream-to-become-reality-3377281 Great wee interview with Devlin, he might not succeed at the club but it wont be from lack of trying and determination. Certainly feels its a great honour to be at the club and big for his career. Also been told all about the derby by everyone since he arrived and Ryan McGowan keeps telling him about his goal in 5-1. I think it will take a few games to get up to speed with the game here but I look forward to seeing what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts1975 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Probably out of all the signings (beni and Woodburn included) I think this one might very well be the best. Just a feeling. If his skill matches his attitude ……. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like how we educate the players about the Derby, let's hope it has sunk in with them all, and they let Hibs know on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenNaismith Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I’ve watched him train a couple of times since he’s arrived and his energy levels are something else. Very sharp and with a low centre of gravity. I’d imagine he will be an absolute pest to play against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I could have seen him. He played for my local club. But I didn't because I don't support them.

A let of truth in that from my experience. The cricketers at the top level take it far too far but that's another story. From what I've heard he is very self confident and his work ethic is outstanding. I also think we are on a winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 A bit of ability with passion and effort get players a long way at Hearts. Ryan McGowan being the obvious comparison.

I live up in Auckland, I went to a couple of Phoeinx matches with a mate when they played up here at Eden Park last year, Devlin played both times and from what I saw he was decent, looked like he had bags of energy and could run all day, looked like one of Pheonixes better players, I think he will do well for hearts, I was also impressed with the standard of the A league, Phoenix had Garry hooper and Stephen Taylor in the team at that point too.

Tend to agree and we won’t get what we want to see...but I’m sure in time we will. Tbf to Neilson, I could understand him not making many changes. It’s a winning team on form. As much as it sends a message to the players in possession of the jersey, it also lets the rest of the squad know he’s fair and there’s no favouritism. Clarity is important for squad harmony and moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Robbie started both Beni and Ben when they were just in the door - he has also said that the aim was to sign starters that I improved the team. I agree that Halliday seems undropable but I think Devlin may start tomorrow with the same sort of plan as they had for Beni. He gets at least an hour. More if he is doing well and isn’t blowing.
