Yep, it's not so much the 18 months, nothing to learn. It's look at how his game did develop. If it wasn't for Gray and Hibs, he would still be considered a defender.Quote:

Great move for him.Quote:

Josh King's name popped up, was last at Toulouse in Ligue 1. Now maybe one that would usually be out of our reach (an educated guess) but interesting to note he was at Bournemouth for 4/5 seasons. The sort of transfer that Black Knights could help us swoop?
6 goals in 28 games in Ligue 1. Sign me up!!Quote:

Penrice away to AEK Athens
Fabrizio Romano
🚨🇬🇷 Excl: AEK Athens agree deal to sign James Penrice from Scottish side Hearts.
Penrice was Player of the Season last season for Hearts and he will now move to Greece soon. 🟡⚫️
EXCLUSIVE: Josh King to Rangers.Quote:

Someone mentioned a josh king on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned it here. Was just 1 random thoughQuote:

In each Derby game Penrice was the 2nd best left back on the park. Good SPL player, no more, wouldn't be ahead of either Nicky Cadden or Obita.Quote:

That's mental, basket case of a club, but the darlings of Scottish media! 🫤Quote:

A peek at Kickback on the Penrice news confirms it - people may have held this view before, but this new fangled approach they have to football and transfers makes them (even more) insufferable.
Impossible to listen to/read.
It's wild. Not from kickback but Hearts mates (I know!) in chats talking about 3 million plus.... for James Penrice! Not made a single mark in any big game just neat and tidy in the games they should win and have the ball at Tynie. - going forward not the greatest defender. Decent solid SPL player, that's all.Quote:

Close to £2m plus add ons according to Scott BurnsQuote:

Farts losing their best player.. Pleasing.
They’re absolutely mental. This shows how JTA is kicking in.Quote:

Another example that a lot of the players who do well for you in this league are right under your nose.
Crazy money for him, not that I'd believe Scott Burns but certainly looks like they've played a blinder. Should have sold Spittal at the time the media where in overdrive about the 2 of them linking up on their left, could have coined a few million for him too.Quote:

Certainly not Hibs or SDG having a go at Triantis I don't think.Quote:

IMO it won't be long until we seriously start to look at our other options as our first European game gets closer .... a new DM and striker are a must, unless SDG thinks Josh Mulligan can play DM and we chuck everything at a striker, though I doubt that's why Mulligan was signed. Whatever the case I simply can't see Hibs waiting around until the 31st of August for Triantis to make his mind up, and given what SDG has said there, neither do Hibs.
Nobody knowsQuote:

So I’m going to choose to believe that this is the case.Quote:
