kimura Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 well that will be a relief to alot of people but i always thought he had potential We all have potential. Potentially I could be the next leader of the Conservative Party in Scotland or the first man from Gorgie to land on the moon. Both of these things could potentially happen if I work hard enough and take my chances. Elliot has no more potential than anyone else...he had his chance to work hard and he didn't take it; he had his chances in the first team and didn't take them. He didn't score goals...ever. He never delivered a killer pass...ever. He didn't knock around defenders...ever. He couldn't fulfill his "potential". Alongside that he had a terrible attitude and was in the papers far too often for all the wrong reasons. So long...good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlingshirejambo Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sorry but he brought it on himself. His petulance on the pitch matched by his inflated ego off the pitch would endear him to no fan. He must show something in training to endear him to mangers of Hearts and Scotland u21 but I have never seen him reproduce it reguarly in a first team jersey. If he succeeds elsewhere congratulation to him. He had many more chances than a lot of players at the club. I will remember him for his huffs,arm waving, diving, blame everyone but me attitude, silly yellow and red cards far more than his few goals.

babertonjambo Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 He hasn't really helped himself though with his attitude. The game against Killie at Tynie last season when he got sent off sums him up for me. He dropped his team right into the brown stuff in what was a very important game and a lot of fans turned on him even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I forecast a year worth of "elliot scores" etc etc on Saturdays now He clearly does have the potential and needs to get out of hearts Quite interesting to see a club like that interested in him as you cant imagine di matteo being up on the SPL If its a permanent deal we may even get a couple of hundred k out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he must have been doing something right to break into the first team at Hearts and into the under 21's of scotland. I think its more along the lines of bad management for a young talent.

Jammy T Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'd say it was a mixture of a young guy struggling to get a grip of being a professional footballer coupled with the fact that he hasnt had strong management for 2 years which has let this sad tale develop. If anyone can get the Elliot that Rix teased out they'll have a pretty good player on their books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It's all a bit of a sad end to a very unpleasant and vicious story....

bighusref Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah Interesting they didnt communicate to us on Screpis though.... Damage control. It seems that the new pr charge has decided to come clean on news that will appease fans and ignore anything else. Which is good as long as all the news is good..... As for MK Dons, would be a good move for Eliot IMO, completely new surroundings, they would simply see a Scottish Under 21 Internationalist that has came from one of Scotland's top three clubs. As clean a slate as he is ever gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot has shown in flashes what he is capable of but I think he is a victim of unreasonable expectations after his form under Rix and poor coaching/man-management by the club after Rix left. The abuse dished out to Elliot has been embarassing at times. I hope he goes on to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Why is Elliott leaving a sad tale ,he has not died caught a lie threatning illness ,he is likely to get a move and still on a decent wage and in a job most of us would kill for. Some people are being a bit over dramatic his boos were no worse than a lot of other Hearts players were given last season (the booing of just the lithuanian when the team sheet was read out was far more pathetic). Personally thought he was a decent but not outstanding prospect but it clear his attitude at times was not the best but he will grow up ,its been clear for a very long time hearts was not the best place for him to develop ,the you tube video turned him into a comic figure which i think took any last chance he had of winning back the fans ,and to be fair to him there has been no real respectful figure in the club who could give him a kick up the backside be that at manager or a player and i think Frail inexperiance over protected him. He is big enough and ugly enough that if he buckles down he will have a decent career where ever he ends up ,and in that i wish him all the best.

Martin_T Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If it's a loan move for Calum, it's good to see the club following my advice of a couple of months ago, when I suggested a loan move to a Championship/ League One club would be best for the player! It will give Elliot a clean slate to try and re-find the player we saw in 2005/6 when he was our starting striker in all 3 of the 4 goal victories over Hibs and gave an outstanding performance versus Celtic on New years day. If it is a loan move and things work out, Hearts will either be able to recoup a decent transfer fee or have a re-invigorated player who still has the potential IMHO to make an impact in our first team.

Drylaw Hearts Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just a thought........ I wonder if it was Rix who recommended Elliot to Di Matteo ?

I think its more along the lines of bad management for a young talent. Really? You honestly believe that? That's amazing. Being the "best" or "hardest working" in training means nothing in real terms...there are plenty of guys who don't cut the mustard in training but who set the field alight when they play; as for being selected for Scotland at Under 21 level well the only thing I can think of that is less impressive or significant than that is being selected for Scotland at full international level. He wasn't badly managed...he was, and remains, honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wish the young Mr Elliot all the best for te future. No player deserves the stick he has received from their home support. No-one could critise his effort and commitment. There may be varying opinions on his ability and potential. Mine is that he will improve with support from management and supporters, particularly if he's played his his preferred midfield role. Good Luck Callum, stick in, hopefully one day see you in a full Scotland jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jambomickey Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 he was one that the instability affected the most! he looked decent player when burley and rix were in charge, loan to motherwell didn't work out for him either and some of the stick he took was below the belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts_crazy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have been one of his fiercest critics over the last season. I would say however that it's not really his fault he kept getting picked when he was clearly utterly mince. If he does go and does well (which I very much doubt) then good luck to him, I don't want to see him back here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 As I said earlier I fully expect once he gets a proper coach to develop him and some support he will be a player Elliot is still only 21, the potential is clearly there and has been recognised by some very good calibre players and coaches( Elvis, Brewster, several u21 manager, several hearts managers) I have no doubt when someone who knows what they are doing brings him on he will become a very good creative/team striker - he wont be a 20 goal a season man ever though Frankly the treatment he has had off our fans is disgusting, its ok to criticise or have the odd go on forums etc but it has went far beyond that to the stage he is continously booed and also abused in his private time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
