Aye OK planks. He will be a star and I've said all along that Beni and Cammy will be our first choice midfield pairing. He did only play in the piss poor A League just like Andy Robertson played in the brutally pish Scottish League 2. Doesn’t mean they aren’t good players, doesn’t mean the leagues they played in aren’t pish. He was outstanding today and Beni strolled it too. Can’t see much game time for Haring this season unless injuries or suspensions. But can we just enjoy them while they’re here and stop going on about how much we can get in transfer fees when they’ve only been here 5 minutes? We’re here to hopefully watch a winning football team not a balance sheet. Edited September 25, 2021 by Fozzyonthefence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatsd Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This final paragraph in the match report made smile…. ‘The game wound down after that, with a raft of changes taking the sting out the game for most players other than Devlin who was still chasing down every ball as if his life depended on it, as the referee called time on an impressive display from the Jambos.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true-jambo Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 What a difference to reflect, in the pub after the game, how good the performance was, without a single failure. Beni and Cammy were fabulous together, hard to believe that was their first start together. Barry MacKay had some delicious touches, his rolling his man at the first goal was a joy to behold. Moore made us forget Souttar wasn't playing. Cochrane I felt was excellent and his goal, scored on the end of a great ball from Mackay was a joy. The competition for places puts pressure on every player to up their game, great times ahead. Best I have felt after a game since I don't know when.

kiwijambo1 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Cammy was great playing for our local club The Wellington Phoenix here in NZ for the past three seasons after the manager Ufuk Talay brought him over from Sydney FC ,he’s great with the fans who loved his gutsy game style,he was always happy to engage with the supporters and he never gave anything less than 100 percent during games and also training at Martin Luckie park! Wasn’t sure how long it would take him to step up a few gears at Tynecastle but he seems to be having no problems at all with the tougher rigours of the Scottish premier league ,being surrounded by a higher class group of players will only enhance his game! Really enjoying tracking Cammy’s career and the sky’s the limit for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is up against bigger teams who load the midfield with huddies we might need to bring Pete back in purely for some size. Horses for courses and all that. That being said, his diminutive stature didn't really seem to be a detriment to the twam. He's very active and a total pest. Opposition must hate playing guys like that. As if it’s now a concern that we might need to settle for playing Peter Haring, who’s been comfortably our best midfielder for years, what a team Robbie & Savage have built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegie jambo Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I can only reiterate what everyone else is saying Cammy was outstanding today. Demanding possession, even going back to central defence to pick up the ball. Covered every blade of grass and not shy of encouraging team mates to do better or demanding a pass. Thought his movement allowed Benni to get forward a bit more than he usually does when partnering Haring. Their movement will pull alot of teams about this season and disrupt opponents tactics. Everyone played their part and movement was great today but Cammy & Benni were "the dogs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts1975 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 3 hours ago, RobNox said: That's the other good thing, we signed them both on permanent contracts, not loan signings, so we stand to make a healthy return if bigger clubs come in for them. Also, if we start to develop a reputation for signing players like this and helping them move on to better things, that can only help us attract more players of this calibre. I remember thinking a few years ago and around why we never fulfilled our vision of putting good young players in the side (via the academy or dev fees) who were ambitious, would show their worth with us and then get picked up for big money and preferably down south. And then just recycle the strategy. your last sentence is bang on and that is simply the pay off. It’s so important to have the right type of people to identify these type of players and we have that now with our recruitment team. Such a huge leap in a very little period of time.

Haring is my favourite player and having a player of his quality as a backup just proves the high quality of the team. I just meant that personally for Devlin his size could be a concern as far as playing big midfields, although his tenacious energy makes up for a lot of that. I'm glad to have options.

Marvin Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 15 hours ago, Absolute Scenes said: That is our midfield pairing. Absolutely solid today. Devlin played today like he wanted to do well, he so wanted to stake a claim and he’s done it. The energy, drive and tenacity he brought today was amazing. And Bene, well just another stroll for the lad wasn’t it. Very pleased with that I watched the interview with Cammy on HeartsTV and you could tell he is enthusiastic to be here. Need to keep the pair because if they keep this up other clubs will be trying to lure them away.

StirlingJambo Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Out of the games beni has played I can’t remember him ever losing possession. He’s so good in tight areas getting himself out of trouble. With Devlin not giving his opponents a second of time along with his great passing ability Hearts now have a centre mid pairing we’ve been crying out for a long time. Let’s hope they can keep producing performances like that because if they do we have to real gems on our hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely strolled the game. To have those two on long term deals is orgasmic. Reminded me of gomis and buaben. On the move constantly, available for an easy 3 yard pass and hold the ball just long enough for their opponent to commit to a challenge by which point its beem released and made the tackler look like a fud.

...andFulton'sBaggio Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I wasn't able to get to the game yesterday for a whole bunch of personal reasons. Waking up this morning to read this thread has been an absolute joy. What a difference it makes having a proper midfield, a department we've struggled in more often than not over the years. Cameron, Fulton, Salvatori were dreamy Hartley and Brellier were immense - even if Bellier was the lesser of the two - with Skacel out wide of course Aguiar was great, although he didn't play much through injury And now this. Can't wait to see them play together! I'm with another poster who said let's not think about money. I'm a football fan, and as such a fantastist. I just wanna dream about them staying at Hearts for their entire careers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
