Deeply concerning. A good £5,000 less than Hamill, what an insult, who would turn out for £15,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was really decent for us and was quite versatile in the positions he was asked to play. Not that concerned, was bang average at best for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmcno1 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Heard from a friend who grew up with him, that Leon Jones has signed for us and will be announced imminently. 22 year old centre back, eligible for the Chinese national team. Sounds like he sees the Pars as an ideal springboard for professional football and to pursue his international career. Good luck to him and welcome to the Pars. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/former-hearts-youngster-aims-for-china-international-call-up-and-a-new-scottish-club-after-living-his-american-dream-3246998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Peter Grant is doubling down on the 3 at the back and is looking to do a 2 players for every position thing. If so id expect another striker on board too Edited August 2, 2021 by Rossmcno1 Editing awful grammar 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjs93 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 a left wing back for me if that was the case. will be interesting to see if there are any further changes by the end of the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted August 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 2-3 games in and Grant should have an idea where the problem areas are and what he needs to address them. ATM you would have to say that defensively is the weakest link but its early days yet and it takes time for a new system and players to gel. While we have players to come back in from long term injuries (Dow, Martin, McCann and Wilson) its not automatic that they will be able to return to their previous levels of fitness - albeit we all hope they do.

Piracy Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Like I said I suppose it's one of the less predictable signings and one of the more interesting. My wife's pals laddie is with Alloa and he said they were gutted when Grant moved on. He was in about all aspects of the players and had an infectious level of positivity. I hope it starts to really rub off and instill confidence into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Confirmed on Cows that Leon Jones the ex Hearts youngster/ US College grad has signed. A left sided defender. I wonder if that means Lewis Martin hasnt regained fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a big built lad if not the tallest. I hope Lewis Martin is ok though would hate for this to be as a result of a set back for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
