Smithian Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Perry Kitchen was my favorite DC United player, so really more like my favorite player in the sport. When he got signed by Hearts, I was shocked. When he was named captain, I was thrilled. I was actually mad I never bought his Black & Red jersey which I could have worn to Tynecastle someday. It went so bad, so fast from there.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Tony Watt Loic Damour Perry Kitchen Orestis Kiomortzoglou Juanma Delgado Kitchen perhaps doesn't belong in there because he wasn't bad, particularly under Neilson, just was a terrible fit for whatever the hell Cathro was trying to do. Kio also wasn't terrible and we got a chunk our investment back, just posted missing at a time we desperately needed someone at his position. Juanma was the most screamingly frustrating to me though.

Think you're right about him being wasted. Only thing I remember is him scoring at Partick to put us through after a rubbish first half. And his song. Guess it meant we were able to knock Hibs out the cup again, so not all bad. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie1980 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I tipped Loic Damour to be player of the year 3 years running In fairness I was being sarcastic/flat out trolling the second and third time I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Cockade Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 thought Willie Pettigrew would be a great signing and he got a few goals but his best days were well behind him unfortunately Alfie Conn as well was only about 28 when he joined us and was a hugely talented player but only proved that for whatever reason his career was over I also assumed that Petric would b a good signing 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy11 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 7 hours ago, copa-mundial said: John Sutton for me. A player I wanted to see in a Hearts Jersey for years. He had scored a bucket load of goals for Millwall and Motherwell the season previously. I was delighted when it was announced we had signed him. How it turned out to be a major disappointment. Especially that sitter against St.Mirren in the cup final. I thought of him as well. His biggest issue was we played a style that didn't suit him. He wanted balls in the box to attack, that's how he got his goals. We lumped it up to him to hold up or chase. Can't remember the game - but he was having a nightmare, couldn't hold the ball up, was chasing balls over the top he had no chance of getting. Subbed off for Gary Glen, the team then started playing the ball out wide and getting crosses into the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 9 hours ago, Victorian said: Gordan Petric. I have a different opinion. He was the weak link at Rangers, and a player I felt we could beat. Didn't want him near the club and can't believe we signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Some of the names mentioned I always thought were punts. You hope they will come good but there is an equal chance of the opposite. I certainly don't get overexcited about players I've never seen or heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Holt Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Unfair to him when compared to other names (The Hologram…) on here but I was convinced we struck gold with Uche in the 1-0 win over Celtic at tynecastle. Never seen Tierney so flustered. Shame Lafferty left without a real replacement as to rely on Uche as a main goalscorer rather than a support striker was never maintainable.

Scored 24 goals in a career cut short with injury. I don't think that's unfair, in order to have high hopes that means you have to rate the player in the first place. Many of the players listed here were sh*te in the first place. Pettigrew and Naismith came to us as players who had played for their country. Pettigrew tried hard but his best years were behind him even though we signed him at 28, Naismith started well but ultimately didn't do much for us. The fact it was due to injury is neither here nor there. Edited February 7 by Jodami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, cjay99 said: David Obua His debut (I think) was against Airdrie in a midweek cup game defeat and it was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a Hearts player. He'd been talking in the press about his great left foot and dead ball ability and then he showed up and was beyond useless. He definitely improved but he was absolutely dire that night.

Doc Rob Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Craig Nelson for me. I was delighted when he signed for us, and he was absolutely shocking. Dennis Wyness similar. He was paraded at Tynie alongside SPH, who at the time was known as a middling winger who once played for Hibs. Reckon 99% of us thought Wyness was the better signing by far. Boy, were we all dead wrong. Anyone saying Derek Ferguson baffles me. He was the heart of our midfield for several years. He wasn’t spectacular, but he was the sort of player whose contribution you only really notice when they aren’t there any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm stunned that anyone thought Conor Sammon and Gordan Petric would be good signings. The reaction on here to both was bordering on outrage. 🤣 Especially Sammon. The only reaction to a potential signing that I can remember being worse on here was when we were going to sign Zander Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I think the most dissapointing one for me was Loic Damour, He was hyped up a fair bit on here before he signed, Decent reputation, had played in the EPL and Championship and was an experienced midfielder who was supposedly on a good wage with us on a 4 year deal, Well the reality was very different, he looked nothing more than an average to shite player any time that I watched him. Must have cost us a fair bit in wages, the definition of a "wage thief" imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
