10 goals in 55 games and he sees fit to have a dig at us? Embarrassing.....

Wee team mentality.

[Billy Whizz]

One of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen in our top division
A classic Levein signing

[04Sauzee]

Mind this 😂

OLD FIRM pair Celtic and Rangers are tracking Hearts’ powerhouse Uche Ikpeazu.

Striker Ikpeazu, 24, was playing in League Two last season with Cambridge United, where he scored 22 goals in 80 outings.

Injury has not prevented Ikpeazu from sparking transfer speculation

But the 6ft 3in hitman has impressed with his physicality north of the border since joining on a free in the summer.

He hit the winner in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Hearts and has grabbed the attention of both Celtic and Rangers, while Hull are also keen.


Cardiff City are also interested but any move is dependent on which league they are playing in next season.

Should they drop back to the Championship, then a move is far more likely for the Harrow-born ace who started his career at Reading.

Neil Warnock's side are five points from safety with seven games to play.

BATTLE OF CELTIC PARK
Ikpeazu extended his contract until 2022 last month so Hearts would be looking for around £1million for the burly forward.

[The Modfather]

We’d be lapping it up if the roles were reversed.

I’d gutted he’s gone. I’ll always remember him for this.

Drummed up by Levein and his pals in the media (see sportsound) to make money for Craig Levein.

Another no mark who has to sook up to the hearts support by digging at hibs. Embarrassing, classless yet unsurprising.

Absolutely woeful player, never a footballer in a million years.

Absolute huddy who would have been at home in the Championship. He was one of the main reasons they were relegated again.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Wycombe will hope that he quickly finds his feet in The Championship. He wasn't able to stay on them up here.

[Northernhibee]

Don't let the door hit you on your way out Uche. If your fat arse breaks it then there's no chance they'll be able to afford to replace it.

Sums up everything that is wrong in British football. Absolute cart horse and such a Levein signing. To actually think he managed our international side a total Wimbledon 1980s style throwback.

It says a lot about the standard of the English championship. He’s just a battering ram that can’t be classed as a footballer (due to the lack of footballing ability).

I will remember him fondly as another useless huddy I’ve had the pleasure to witness in a Hearts top.

The faceplant against St Johnstone when he tried to trap the ball was priceless.

[Frazerbob]

Levein actually said on Sportsound tonight that if you asked Celtic or Rangers about him, they’d say he was unplayable 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[BILLYHIBS]

Probably a signing that best sums up Potter’s tenure at Tiny

Fat, unfit, slower than a week in the jail, couldnae run, breathing through his arse, very limited football ability, used as a human battering ram, always gave 100% or the best he could and for all his failings he was a pest and still managed to score a couple of goals against us even although he must be one of the worst players I have ever seen in a Hearts jersey

Best of luck for the future Big Man

That was a minute or 2 after saying he looked at Lyndon Dykes but didn’t sign him cos he didn’t score enough goals. :hilarious

So he signed Washington, Clare and Boyce instead.

With us I don’t feel the obsession extends beyond the fan base though. With them it’s engrained right through the club, new signings are obliged to make comments about “size”, club statements with not so subtle digs at us, players past and present mentioning us at every opportunity... what an insecure club!

Exactly the thought that came into my head when I read this. Their continued existence and everything they say or do seems to be linked to Hibs in some way.

What strange club. Bunch of weirdos and best ignored.

[calumhibee1]

I cannot believe he’s got a move to that level.

[Keith_M]

Come one guys, if referring to Hibs as 'The Wee Team' is all they have left, then let them at least have that.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

blows my mind that grown adults refer to clubs as "Big team" "Wee team" or "Big cup" "wee cup"

Grown adults, not primary school kids will actually say the words "Wee team". Mental

Grown adults are over this board moaning about anything and everything most days.

Just look at any thread mentioning the media, it’s scary that adults actually believe some of the stuff written.

The most baffling/embarrassing thing about Ikpeazu saying it is that it must be a common thing that Hearts players say. You can understand blinkered thick fans from Gorgie coming out with things like that when they haven't finished above Hibs in years and have just been relegated but a player, a very poor one at that, from London with no emotional ties to the club... Odd to the extreme.

[lyonhibs]

Another Hearts player whose brain wasn't connected to his feet. There's a reason they were rock bottom in mid March and absolute huddies like him are it.

[Peevemor]

I notice in Conor Washington's thing in the EEN today that he also mentions Hearts being the 3rd biggest team in Scotland. It looks like this is drummed into them by the club/coaches and I'm beginning to think it's one of the reasons for their recent problems, ie. they believe that they're part of some massive, "famous" outfit and develop a sense of entitlement which leaves them lacking on the pitch.

I guess it helps to keep the hearts fans attention away from:

they have a very expensively-assembled squad, that they can't afford (without dole money from James Anderson)

they had more internationalists than anyone outside the old firm (including a certain Conor Washington)

all they had to do was beat St Mirren (and their fans knew it too)

and they finished 12th.

Still, third biggest in Scotland, that is amazing Conor....

[Since452]

No other club in world football claims third biggest as some kind of badge of honour. Especially relegated ones who haven't finished above their city rivals in years, have won less than their city rivals over last half a century and who haven't won the league cup since before man landed on the moon. They're a funny lot.

All these statements from Budge,Deans,Levein,players and the friendly media is all just diversion tactics to keep the hordes onside.The truth is Budge did save Hearts a few years back (fair play to her) but since then football wise and financially she has been a total disaster for them.Yet not one Hearts supporter calls it out for what it is !!!!

No she didn’t, whoever persuaded the Lithuanians to forget about the 28.5m debt saved Hearts. Once that was done Budge invested 2.5m in Hearts to be repaid in full with interest. Hearts should have a statue of Mr Jackson in their new stand.

That'll be where the 3rd bit comes from.

Archetypal Levein signing. Fat huddy who got found out after 2 months when players learned they just needed to give him space rather than engage in a physical battle and wait for him to dribble the ball out of play.

Half his goals were against lower league teams as well! Embarrassing that he managed 20% of his goals against us but shows the mentality of their fans that he'll go down as a 'legend' for that [emoji85]

There was another £40 million of debt written off or converted to worthless shares by Romanov. Only less than 2 2 million went to the creditors, the rest went to the administrators. Bankruptcy would have left the Lithuanian state with Tynecastle whose only real value was property development. The creditors must have been convinced by somebody that they would find it difficult to get planning permission for anything other than sports use.

I don't think that is the case. Right up until the 12th hour, the Lithuanian state were open to bids to buy Tynecastle. The planning permission was the sticking point.

They could have retained Tynecastle and leased it back to Hearts at say £1m per year. To write off th3 whole debt seemed just daft.
