Anthony Macdonald, great potential aside, has done absolutely nothing to suggest he should be in the first team.

The weird one is the lack of game time for Cochrane who has shown he is more than good enough to play in the first team

Not sure if there's anyone in the current squad that I'd describe as a successful project signing tbh.

He was 19/20 when we signed him. He was signed to go into the first team but that doesn’t make him not a risk. He is 10x the footballer he was when he joined, if he hadn’t progressed then he wouldn’t be starting for us just now.

Its just he was a very good signing because he was just about good enough to start for us at the time and a blind man could see the bags of potential he had.

I just don’t see the same with wighton and that. 2na asked if we should just stop signing prospects and considering our hit rate with them it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. Weve got some great players coming through the academy who are literally no risk players, let’s get seeing more of them rather than signing duds like Mulraney. Couldn’t care less if we’re not professional football folk, anyone could see he was going to flop so what does that say about the professionals running hearts at the moment?

He’s done enough, as much as Mulraney and Amankwaa anyway, to show he’s good enough for a spot on the bench to call on if needed.

Project signings are fine, that what we need to live on, sign guys with a little something, but still lacking that little something. Coach them up, polish them off then sell them for £££

Problem is, neither Levein or his army of minions are capable of improving players, coaching them up, or developing them.

Souttar is an exception, total slam dunk of a signing that any hearts fan with half a brain would have made. A total steal, he was always going to come good
