He’s 30, but had two or three outstanding seasons down south. Can also play pretty much anywhere, not just left back. He’s also a fecking hilarious guy. Yeah them being pals is one of the main reasons for suggesting him - I think Halliday had a hand in getting Barrie McKay up the road (he said he was texting him etc when he found out we were interested) and wouldn't put it past him to be in Naismith's ear too. He'd be a very good addition for the sake of playing in Europe and like you say can play absolutely anywhere across the back four and midfield. He's definitely confident lol, and would be great for the dressing room because like you say he is absolutely hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we might even sign some players we've actually heard of too! Funny feeling about Kal Naismith. He's Andy Halliday's best pal so would be massively surprised if his name isn't somewhere in Robbie's black book and considering he's out of contract at Wigan he could be a great shout.

If Everton want to either loan Simms out again or move him on I could see Rangers stepping in. They're short of strikers and would know what they were getting. If they were interested sadly we could forget it, can't compete financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another loan is far more realistic. Unless Everton sold him to us on the cheap but included a buy back clause. I did find it interesting that CL said, during the cup final, he thought Hearts would definately try to buy Simms. Before anyone shoots me down, I know CL is part of our set up anymore but you would still think he would be more in the know than most.

Newton51 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hearts have made a final contract offer to Peter Haring and are now awaiting an answer on the Austrian midfielder’s future. Barry Anderson With his existing agreement about to expire, Tynecastle officials opened talks in March aimed at keeping 28-year-old Haring in Edinburgh. Negotiations since then have dragged on and the Evening News has learned some of the details behind the delay. Discussions took place around the length of the deal Hearts proposed. Haring and his representatives wanted another three years which would keep the player in Scotland until summer 2025. Hearts initially offered a two-year contract. That and other details have been debated back and forth in recent weeks and a final offer has now been put forward. Hearts are hopeful that a successful conclusion is imminent. Haring said publicly that he would like the issue resolved after spending the last four years in Gorgie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS86 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'd be happy to sign either Ronan or Levitt based on how they did last season in our league, but also think it's worth recognising that along with Beni, Simms and Cochrane there seems to be a lot of good talent available from EPL sides. I'd never really seen or heard of any of these guys prior to this season too, so will be interested to see who else we can pluck from this market.
