They're good opportunities to show that they're ready right now. That's about it. Always worth remembering that Hartley didn't really get going until 27-28, so the idea that Burke will be washed up at 21, is a bit silly if we're honest. I was about to mention him, too. I remember watching Hartley when I was still at School in Hamilton. He broke through at about 17/18 as a winger, he was electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield just looked so much better balanced with him in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of those underrated players who just went about their business without much fuss and he was very much under the radar, a player that every team needs. It was interesting to see his game develop from being a mazy winger to being a central midfielder that you could trust to keep things ticking over.

romanticscot Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I felt there was a spell of 1-2 years where Hartley was our best player also. I cant remember exactly, I think it was when McFadden was going through a wasteful spell and in my opinion was playing with a lazy attitude. It is amazing to think that we are talking about events 10-12 years ago, time really has flown by. Our EURO 2008 campaign was remarkable, our squad was really strong then, one thing it shows is the importance of getting our campaign off to go a good start - EURO 2010 we had 4 points in first 4 games.

I understand where you are coming from, and as I said they may turn out to be good SPL players which Paul Hartley was, but we are looking for top internationals. That's what we all hope they become. Let's be honest we are hoping for more than the next Paul Hartley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Brophy looks a decent player, a move til Leeds wouldn't be a bad place as they look like they could get promoted although that would mean less game time for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to be silly money to sell in January IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Gauld deal delayed it seems.. with some slightly bizarre comments from Lennon: "It's just paperwork and getting the agreement finalised." Isn't that.. everything? Need to agree a deal, then sign a deal. That doesn't sound particularly close.. you could use the same phrase to refer to the current state of brexit. "He's fit. It will just be a question of his football now." Is Lennon suggesting he's not good enough for Hibs? Okaay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get too cocky given the signings you guys have made this January! Guy that can't get a game for WBA, a 18 year old with 20 senior games under his belt, an unknown that has played 50 games in Tunisa/Slovkia and a kid from a college team! Gaulds CV holds up not too badly against that. At least we know he can perform in the SPFL.

Could see them bringing him in as a Shaqiri type good quality backup, but they don't really need him and if they did your think it would be now (for the title run in as insurance against injuries etc) rather than in the summer.
