IMA MAROON Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 BARNSLEY winger Jim O?Brien has ruled out a reported move to Hearts. Speaking exclusively to The Star the Scottish winger said: ?I know the manager at Hearts likes me, but I?m not ready to go back up the road yet.? ?I?ve still got a year left on my contract at Barnsley. I?m not thinking about going anywhere right now.? The 23-year-old former Motherwell midfielder added: ?I was out in my back garden building a barbecue the other day and my mate texted me and said ?Are you going to Hearts?? ?I texted my agent about it but he?d heard nothing either, so there?s no truth in it. ?My cousin is signing for Hearts so maybe somebody?s put two and two together and come up with a rumour.?

Zibi Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 JJ can GTF if we sign Zander the talentless Tim Here are some raving endorsments from his former team, who have had there fair chance of shocking players over the last few years. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=4&fid=27&sty=2&act=1&mid=2118598207&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz0503 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 There was once upon a time diamond did used to be a decent defender, now aberdeen have gone down hill in recent years(they have aways been shit i suppose lol but.....) I generally think that is the reason diamonds performances have gone down hill... If there is a manager in the league that will put him through his paces and get him back to his best again it certainly will be JJ and his team. Maybe I am wrong and ZD won't get back to the time he used to be half decent but I am going to give the boy a chance and if JJ does get him back to his best well the boy will be a quality signing.... Wasn't that long ago that everyone didn't want webster back at hearts but now everyone wants him in the starting line up.... Give ZD a Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well if JJ can turn Diamond into a footballer then he clearly is more powerful than Hank the amazing miracle worker , Vlad ,jebus ,Mother Terresa and Superman all roled into one . Diamond is a fecking useless lump and more danger to the back of his own net than any opposition attacker . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome Zander, give it your best shot in the famous maroon :Hearts Man spotrun: i'd echo those staements if he has signed. But, with there still being a few weeks to go, and Brown saying he wants to keep him, I think the story has a bit to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 When has Diamond ever been a good defender? I remember watching him when people were gushing over him as a youngster- he was shite then too. If he plays for us, i'll support him but I currently do not rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysthereinspirit Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Noooo! I'm not naive enough to believe that every Hearts player is a dyed in the wool but this would just be such a bad signing. Please Hearts, no no and no again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 JJ really is taking a gamble with this rasper if he signs him because he must know the supports feelings regarding the bigoted ****. First couple of slip up's and he'll be shot into flames. I honestly can't see the reasons for signing Diamond.

I remember watching him when people were gushing over him as a youngster- he was shite then too. If he plays for us, i'll support him but I currently do not rate him. My opinion is that he showed some potential when he was youngster, he has never realised this potential. I reserve the right to be fickle if he joins however.

Doc Rob Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well, Darren Barr was welcomed as an excellent signing and his first season has been forgettable at best. Nobody wants us to sign Diamond, maybe he'll play out of his skin just to balance things up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Meldrew Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It's an outrage. A manager who has taken us to third place in the SPL this season has decided to sign a player he thinks could do a job for us. I say we should sack him and appoint one of the experts on here who obviously know far more about football than JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 If Diamonds Dug Bullet can make it in London maybe JJ can go all Mr Miyagi and make something out of Diamond . If he signs he will of course like any new player get my full support as i expect most fans will do until he proves otherwise .

derjambo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I suggest we wait until he signs and then judge him on performances with us. Novel approach I know but im all for trying something new. He would be Aberdeens loss and our gain. However if an element of supporters have already made their minds up - what chance does 'Zando the Jambo' have of being a success? Fair goes lads, and trust in JJ's judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Don't like him as an Aberdeen player. I would cite the Miko "dive" incident. However, he must know what some feel about him joining us and still wants to come in, so let's give the guy a chance. We are certainly not overly strong in central defence, and JJ thinks he can make him a better player. Like many players, or normal working people for that matter, he maybe just needs a change of scenery and/or new challenge. Not many of our players are Hearts fans, so the Celtic fan thing should not matter. As long as he plays 100% for us he should have our support. Can't remember Mark Burchill's favourite team being a problem for us, and he wasn't exactly a superstar for Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
