CJGJ Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Pinilla on again with Palermo -- playing well though should have scored at least one. Comenting about how many Hearts fans had been in touch 'mystified' as to why he was allowed to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Brilliant goal from you've guessed it Pinilla He looks sharp - but he also looks to have put on a bit of beef since he was with us. Or is the pink strip just not very flattering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be because he's living the pure life now Not as much shagging so he can't shift the love handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comenting about how many Hearts fans had been in touch 'mystified' as to why he was allowed to go. It's not that mystifying really. He hadn't the least interest in playing for us, and continuing to pay his wages was the equivalent of flushing money down the khazi. Shame, but he was clearly extracting the urine at times during his extended 'injury' layoff. Wonder how many games he misses now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.N.T.H. Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 To be fair to Pinilla, he speaks very highly of Hearts and holds us in high regard for helping him with rehab etc. Now, obviously he would say that as we were spunking cash on the guy but i think it just didn't work out for him here. Sometimes it happens. He's finally fulfilling his potential though, good on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Pinilla gets a mention in Tim Vickery's latest BBC blog on South American football. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2010/11/bielsa.html Three goals in four World Cup games was a disappointing return for a side (Chilean National side) of such attacking ambition. They would surely have scored more had centre forward Humberto Suazo been fully fit. Top scorer in the South American World Cup qualifiers, he was recovering from an injury when he was unwisely risked in a warm-up match. Injured once more, he was nowhere near 100% in South Africa. In retrospect, Mauricio Pinilla should have been in the squad. Once briefly in Scotland with Hearts, Pinilla has been once briefly with a lot of clubs in a number of different countries. The striker came close to throwing away his own career with his wild-child antics. But he has always been a highly gifted player, potentially of genuine world class - as he has hinted in Italian football over the last 18 months. Especially in the absence of a fit Suazo, Pinilla would have been a useful option in South Africa. He has been recalled for next week's game at home to Uruguay, seemingly Bielsa's swansong in charge of Chile. The idea of Alexis Sanchez and Pinilla operating together is an appealing one for Chile fans - but after next week it will not be Bielsa's job to get their talents to combine. He is leaving because Harold Mayne-Nicholls was not re-elected last week as president of Chile's FA. Before the election Bielsa made it very clear that he would not work with the opposition candidate Jorge Segovia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I hope he realises how much he cost this club and comes back for a season or 2 towards the end of his career and plays for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I hope he realises how much he cost this club and comes back for a season or 2 towards the end of his career and plays for next to nothing. That would be good. The best player we never had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it happens. He's finally fulfilling his potential though, good on him! Lets be honest he will be in his element in Italy with hot women everywhere lol and if he thinks that much of hearts he can return in a couple of seasons for sensible money, as he still would rip up the SPL Just shows Vlad does have a eye for a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
