To be fair I think given he market we are in these days, nobody we sign gets people excited, that comes after we know how they turn out ie, Moult, Higdon, kipre, etc.

I don't think anyone is looking for us to sign a household name or a high profile player. None of us had heard of Scott McDonald, Louis Moult or Cedric Kipre, all players we have made money from. I think a huge difference is the age where Morris is concerned. With those relatively young guys, there was a sense you were getting potential, you never knew how good they could become. Morris is 31 in September. And this doesn't feel like us signing a Bobby Russell or a Davie Cooper, a quality player who can still do a job at our level. This looks like signing a journeyman. He might well do a great job for us but don't expect fans to get excited by his arrival..

They were honest dirty barstewards, whereas hearts were full of devious dirty barstewards

personally think Goss is ok but not in a 3 man midfield as he's a bit powder puff and doesnt offer protection to the left back. I thought Spittal was brought in as the left sided midfield player. Be interesting to see who starts from the likes of Slattery, Spittal, Cornelius ,Goss, and now Morris. Not to mention Tierney who looks better as an old number 10 type player. Gives plenty of options for formations though - a decent blend of players.

I can't believe you left Wayne Foster and Scott Crabbe off that list....... Although to be fair, you probably just lost track of the number of odious b@stards that played for Hearts then.

Rarely post here but to chip in on the Morris signing - on the off chance folk don't look at the thread on P&B. He's not a winger. Burrows confirmed this on Twitter here after he was announced. He's not a striker either. From 316 games tagged 207 were at left midfield. Also, he's played 158 games for Alexander scoring 42 goals with 31 assists. Which I'd say is quite good for a midfielder but maybe I'm just easily impressed.

Suppose time will tell. Think most react with mirth when realising the random information is from the source who claimed we had signed the £15million rated Sofiane Feghouli from Galatasaray last summer.

Ye will prolly get 350 tickets if it is Sligo. (just noticed that I joined here 13 years ago exactly today and this my first post)
