    So could lee O'connor. Seriously don't get the interest in hickey. We have more than enough right backs

    He's right footed. He's a right back playing left back because hearts had * all left backs in their squad.
    We already have a right footed full back who can play left back who's 2 years older and has already played for his country and he can even make a 30 man squad for pre season.

    If we want a right footed full back to play left back just stick Frimpong out there.

    Why bcoz the tactical * genius Craig Levein played him there?

    He's a right back and he's not any better than what we have

    He can use both feet but looks comfortable on the left that's his position.

    If we sign him it will be as a LB and we're linked with him because he's a LB..

    So, for all debate he's a LB.

    Fair enough, but he's not good enough to improve our squad. He'd be back up to the weakest player in our starting 11

    While I agree with this I also think at 22 Taylor still has lots of time to develop and at the moment Taylor is better.

    The hickey thing has went quiet I believe because Celtic don’t want to deal with heart after their farce with the spfl

    i really like the boy Porteous at hibs, really aggressive and pretty quick, with a nasty streak in him. but we don't seem to be even sniffing about him, Lenny did manage him i suppose and maybe just doesn't fancy him or rate him.

    He's naturally a right footed player who's being played left back bcoz hearts are * and don't have a left back.
    Not really difficult to understand if you understand what left and right is. Would you prefer I drew you a picture in crayon to explain it to you?
    He's also not good enough

    I'd take hickey at hearts, young, cheap and plenty of potential. He can defo do a job in certain domestic games now, the guy is the same age as dembele and Taylor will improve too with a run of games.

    Dunno if you can say he's not good enough. He has over a full season of spl football under his belt and he only turned 18 in June. He is two footed (albeit seems to prefer the right) and will be physically strong for a left back .. not saying we should be slotting him on first choice left back but for a couple hundred thousand i wouldn't be discarding him

    He's a good young player and has good potential. However, he isn't good enough to be a starter for us right now as there are a good few parts of his game he needs to work on particularly the defensive side to it which is understandable given his age. And as left back is our weakest position, signing an 18 year old with potential may well be a good move but it certainly doesn't address the left back problem.
    Happy enough to sign him and loan him out but we need a 1st team ready, 1st team quality left back.

    I think he'd give everything he's got for us but I'm just not sure how much he actually has left to give. A move I'd have jumped on 5 or 6 years ago though but not so sure now. Low risk back-up option though I suppose and if he does end up here I'll get behind him.
