Thought he had an excellent game today in the centre which was once his position (Scotland U21 and before some smartarse reminds me I know he was paired there with Gary Kenneth) and was not too shabby in setting up the equaliser last week.
I don't get the animosity, Sure, I'd rather have Tierney who barring injury is going to be something really special but who else in the League is better? Declan John, nah; Demetri Mitchell, possibly but he's a Man Utd player and doesn't look like coming back to Hearts. Tommy Hoban, probably but he's injured. Leave the loon alone.
A newer Mark De Vries for Levein's style of football, he'll certainly do a job in this league against all the lesser teams and i'm sure McInnes would have loved to sign him after going down the Zola, Stockley and now Cosgrove route.
The English transfer window closing so soon must have upset our recruitment of a striker, with all the EFL clubs jostling to get their players in earlier than usual which has lead to transfer fees/wages that we simply can't compete with.
I don't think we'll get our much needed striker before the St.Mirren cup game (just a hunch), I reckon it will only be a striker and a McInnes favourite utility type player before the end of the month. Really hope he proves me wrong !?!?
Not exactly what I was hoping for either, 5'7" and certainly doesn't appear to be prolific.
Hopefully just paper talk.
The small piece in the sun doesn't say anymore than that. Probably nothing in it.
