I do know that they are the only club outside of the Spl (apart from Ross county, Dundee and dunfermline) who is in the elite youth level. So they aren't too shabby.

JamboLad Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just got a text confirming we have siged 2 players from them, brothers. One is 14 and is a goalkeeper and one is a 17 year old left back. Both with bags of potential but never played for Stenny first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is 14 and is a goalkeeper and one is a 17 year old left back. Both with bags of potential but never played for Stenny first team. curious, always need more goalies, though think he will be behind Shaun Thomson (who looks a great goalie) and left back is another strong posistion for hearts with Brown-Delands-Coll all left backs before, though I think Coll is too old for the 17s, so this new lad may be for the U17s. Though if they have bags of potential Hearts should be able to harness that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I have not seen either player play, but this is a great way to bring in players IMO. Targeting lower league clubs and the youths they bring through BEFORE they become James McCarthy sized transfer fees is good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToYouToMe Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I saw Stens against Inverness Clach at the weekend. They have a lot of very good young players and actually commented at the time that I hoped Hearts were scouting the club.

Any player can be bought/sold at any time in the year. If the player is bought/sold outside a window the only thing that the window precludes him from doing is playing for the club until the next window opens. This was shown when Scott McDonald signed for C*lt!c outside a transfer window but he could not play for them until the following window opened.

buzzbomb Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've been in at Riccarton recently when Stenny have played a couple of Hearts teams. I know they beat us 4-2 at U17 level. Not sure if the other team was 14s/15s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm sure I remember an ex youth player telling me Hearts used to put players out to Tranent Juniors for experience.

Think it was done more in the past when youth players wages didn't allow for moving to the other end of the country on loan therefor they went to local/hometown junior teams instead!

Chuck Berry Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 They cant be that gd if they keep punting their youth players to Blackburn Utd juniors. There are three players on loan at Blackburn until the end of the season and one on loan until January. They continue to train once a week with Stenny and continue to play for the reserves, whilst also turning out for Blackburn. I'll ask them to see if they have any centre-forwards they could loan to Pumphy to play at centre-half..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simey Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 For Hearts to pay ?20k for two young players is amazing; as usual you miss the point, most clubs have a budget of that amount for the season for their youth teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more work permit related in that hearts couldnt sign the boys and play them Branny also played for Tynie Star for a year until he qualified to sign for us. Tbh I think the idea of paying 20k for 14YO's in scotland is unsustainable unless your the OF. It all adds up and kids who fail at hearts will go nowhere on free, OF and english teams sell them on and recoup some of the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
