Pretty obvious you would say, but I just hope Savage & co are on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Really happy Smith has signed. He might not start every week but reassuring to have him in the squad, knowing how well he can cover other positions. One of only a few players who’s commitment and effort I couldn’t fault during past seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 7 minutes ago, AlphonseCapone said: Ironic, given the amount of talent they've released in the last couple of years! Happy with Smithy. As others have said, great for the team as he is very solid and reliable in a number of positions (doesn't really do the guy justice as he's a good player, but that's kinda the best description!) But also a great thing for the club. When we're signing new players, bedding them in, perhaps selling players too and needing them replaced and then bedding in those guys... it's important to have the likes of Smudge around the place, setting standards and being a bit of a Mr Hearts. Him, Gordon, Halks, Kngsley, Haring and you'd say Boycie and maybe even Devlin given his character are all fantastic guys to have as flag-bearers at our club. Jeez, when was the last time you could make a list like that - and I've left a couple off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar the Horrible Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Gordon, Halkett, Kinsley and now Smith, shows things are good behind the scenes, Soapy take note! Intersting that Robbie has NOT given up hope of Soapy staying beyond the summer, Its nothing until its something, but... Also Robbies salvo could put Sevco off, as their MO is to unsettle the player, and put in an insulting offer to get him quicker. But I would rather he stayed with us rather than let him go for peanuts, so good on Robbie for the rediculous money statement. That would put Sevco off signing him while sweating he might end up with another long term injury, and that would be their problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any decent club, we all hate the old firm, so giving a player a bit of grief for joining one of them seems fair. Also, nobody knows the full story and we’re obligated to pay him but Hearts seem to have looked after Souttar as best they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valois No1 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 JS just needs to go now. Its clear the fans have kinda turned on him on this one (inc me) so we should take 500k and move him on. Perhaps a wee bit of negligence on the clubs part as Stevie Wonder could see he was moving on and we should have moved a little quicker on a replacement (assuming current squad doesn't fill that space) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
