Hi all be reading posts for a while and decided to join up.Looks like we are close to signing Adam King from Hearts for 200,000 .Just seen it on sky.Hes a midfielder and weill be joining us next season.He is 18 years of age a product of hearts youth initiative
we should be looking for better than this in my opinion as we have our own youth squad that we should be tapping into without going to other clubs. Bizarre if true..
Shortsighted, Dai. He's obviously being bought for the future. Yes, we should be developing our own (we are) but if someone as good, or better, comes along at a good price then snap him up.
This is Hearts we are talking about here not anyone from the premiership ivor. Hearts are rock bottom and our future looks bright as it is..I have never heard of the lad and he might be good but anyone looks good who shows a bit more effort at hearts at the moment.
Looks like we were after him last August but nothing came of it. He was MOM in a recent friendly against Wolfsburg and is highly rated by the coaching staff at Hearts whilst the fans have described him as "technically gifted". Don't think they want to sell but they're in some financial trouble. There's an article and video here: http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/...g-rising-hearts-central-midfielder-adam-king/
Don't matter where the boy comes from that's irrelevant he could be the next big thing. If someone said 10 years ago and I'm being hypothetical here that we were signing a young African lad from Ivory Coast would you say he must be crap. Now imagine that his name was Yaya Toure, how bloody silly would we look now ten years on? For all we know in 10 years he could be playing for Real Madrdid and we could be saying how bloody good he was for us. Give the poor bugger a chance for pity's sake
We would nevernhave got here without "Gems Unearthed ", I always get excited about these kind of signings !
All i hope if he is as good as you say that he don't end up joining donnelly who never gets a chance and who has been treated appallingly in my view...
Agree about Donnelly Dai. Looked very good in pre season. Unless of course he isn't pulling his weight in training.
We paid 500,000 for him, and ML brought him in. I think he is going to the top. Also thought he was more effective than Janzui for Utd yesterday
Pozaelo and Routledge were both better than him . By the way, if I spend any time feeling sorry for a guy not given a chance it would be spent on Jazz cheers
