    Hickey will not sign for us unless he is the first choice left back. I think his past decisions prove that, choosing to sign for Hearts for the opportunity of first team football then choosing Bologna as he was guaranteed more first team football, or that’s how it looked at the time.

    If he signs I don’t think we sign another left back unless we sell Taylor and boli.

    You can't give any player guarantees that they will get game time, what if they're garbage & we need to keep playing them. I'm sure this is something McGinn wanted as well.

    This. Its Aaron Hickey, not Maldini. Can't guarantee first choice.

    My worry is still who is it deciding which players we are trying to sign? Because it sure as * ain't big Ange. Almost all the players linked have been talked of as targets for a year or two, which, to my mind at least, suggests the same person/people responsible for bringing Bayo, Klimala, Ajeti and the various other duds from the last few years is still calling the shots.

    It’s not a case of guaranteeing you will play every game more of its you’re coming in here as my first choice, or to compete with another player or you’re coming in here as back up.

    And I can guarantee you agents do say player x won’t sign unless you guarantee they play, not saying this is the case here.

    Main point is it’s quite clear he won’t sign for us unless he knows he is going to be given game time. Then it’s up to him to keep his place.

    Buy him and back him as first choice or don't buy him at all. Some fans seem to think we need 5 left backs, madness

    Would still rather Bjorkan for about half the price.

    We need an influx of Italian posters to wax lyrical about him.

    I was keeping an eye on his ratings on Sofascore last season, had a few decent games by the looks of it! Didnt see any games of his though, like to keep an eye on young Scottish players see how there getting on. Still young as *

    Could defo do a job and be the future on that left hand side from what I see at hearts though, moving abroad at a young age can only help with maturity as well

    Could we not go and sign him and Doig? Does it have to be one or the other?

    I've seen a few people from here and other place's saying how he's extremely comfortable in central midfield. Also you wouldn't know what footed he is..

    Quite rare for a Scottish youngster to be that flexible and versatile. Uself in itself..

    He got played as a CM in the youths.

    If I was to compare him to a Scottish player in terms of style of play it’d probably be McGregor, which doesn’t make sense considering he’s a LB now.

    Even when he got flung in against us at 16 you could see how composed and technically gifted he was.
