This is the best I can do, based on his time with Burton in the Championship a few years ago. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16332383.complete-lowdown-rovers-new-boy-jacob-davenport/ “He had a real impact on performances at Burton. The club was on a low ebb when he joined as they had had a terrible January but he made his debut at Villa Park and was one of the best players on the pitch. “He was very composed and he more than held his own. “He was virtually an ever present after that. “He tended to play deep at Burton as one of three central midfielders and he has an excellent range of passing and is capable of linking play between defence and attack. “He was consistent in his performances and the supporters were huge fans of his, I am sure if Burton had stayed up then they would have made attempts to bring him back on loan. “He was excited to play senior football and I think he proved he was more than capable of playing at Championship level."

When EEN report on it, it’s generally close. Yup, based on timing of past signings being linked by EEN to the player being announced, I would say he will be a Hearts player on Tuesday. The report is signing talks, but you have to imagine that if it is, there has been a generally agreed wage already and it will be thrashing up the other details (though obviously always a chance the agent could try and attempt to push for a bigger wage out of no where and talks break down.) In regards to another defensive midfielder, I think people forget how well we played last year having a midfield of Beni and Devlin. Two players people saw as defensive. But I think those two and Haring can push forward or be a more ball playing midfielder alongside a defensive midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Shankland was making runs and getting away from defenders fairly often only for us to pass it along from side to side awaiting an opening. McKay is generally the one to open up defences with passes, but other teams know that and double up making it difficult. So, if we have someone in the middle of the park like Davenport who will get his head up and look for those passes through the centre as well, maybe we’ll have more opportunities for Shankland, while at the same time giving the opposition another player to worry about stopping their passing.

OTT Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 2 minutes ago, Mr Elwood P said: We only gave Haring a new contract a few months ago. He had a bad game. That is all ... Exactly. It sounds like to me that Davenport is being recruited because he's an excellent young player. I don't think Haring factors into it. Going to be a long season with the games in Europe and if we want the same again next year, its important not just that we finish 3rd but we go as far as we can in the Scottish cup to avoid any freak results of a diddy team winning it and denying us the easy path in. Squad depth so important to delivering that IMO. He's also injury prone by the looks of things, so perhaps alongside Beni, Devlin and Haring we can manage his game time to truly get the best out of him (rather than relying on him week in week out being left high and dry when he's injured?). His age matches Beni, Devlin, Sibbick, Rowles and Atkinson. So we've clearly a vision in mind when recruiting too (IMO developable players with bags of sell on potential). I love where we are as a club right now. Savage knows exactly what he's doing and seems to be laying out a roadmap for our recruitment ideals going forward.

For the first half of my life, we only reached 4 Cup Finals - thats 60 cup competitions, we failed to reach the final in 56 of them, lost 3 finals and won 1 final. Our record has got a bit better in the last 30 years, but its still a very small percentage of Finals that we get to . No Hearts fan should ever turn their nose up at getting to Cup Finals - and its likely we'll lose more than we win, thanks to the presence of the Bigot Brothers.

On 31 August 2017, Lee joined an Italian club Hellas Verona on a four-year deal, for a fee of €1.5 million. Barcelona retained the option to repurchase him until 2019 for an undisclosed fee.[12] On 24 September, he made his Serie A debut for Verona in the second half of the game against Lazio.[13] On 6 May 2018, he scored his first Serie A goal in an away match against Milan, but his team lost 4–1.[11] Verona was relegated to the Serie B by finishing the league in 19th place. He scored one goal and provided two assists during 27 appearances in the 2018–19 Serie B. Verona was promoted to the Serie A by winning the promotion play-offs,[14] but he was excluded from Verona's plan for the next season. Sint-TruidenEdit On 30 August 2019, Lee joined Belgian First Division A side Sint-Truiden.[15] He was excluded from the list of the squad for twelve consecutive matches, and this situation caused much controversy in South Korea.[16][17] His name was on the list for the first time against Genk on 29 November,[18] and he made his Belgian league debut against Waasland-Beverenon 26 December.[19] He finished his first season due to early termination of the Belgian league caused by the COVID-19 pandemic after making only four appearances.[20] On 13 September 2020, he scored his first and second goal for Sint-Truiden against Royal Antwerp, but his team lost 3–2 despite his two goals.[21]However, he failed to score in six games where he played as a starter excluding a game against Antwerp, and his team also did not get a victory at the same time.[22] When he was being excluded from the squad again, some South Korean journalists recommended playing in South Korea to him.[22] Loan to PortimonenseEdit On 1 February 2021, Lee joined Primeira Liga side Portimonense on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy.[23] He had difficulty in leaving special impression on the new club. He left Portimonense after the end of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
