Harry Cochrane

[Currie Hibee]

Just read that he has turned down a new contract and will leave Hearts in June.

Do you think it would be worth a gamble to give him a contract? Kid had talent when he was young but was destroyed by Avril Levein.

Question is would he be worth a theoretical punt or are you better sticking with say Fraser Murray who has had a decent season with Dunfermline.

I think we should be aiming higher than either of them. Just my opinion.

[Seveno]

Lever tried so hard to big him up in the hope that they could get big money for him. The fact that the got no interest says it all.

[007]

A fairly low risk punt just to annoy them.

Ah yes, let’s sign a guy who’s not done anything of note in *checks notes* League 1 this season? That’ll show them!

If he was anywhere near close to being worth a punt at Hibs then he’d have been getting some form of game time at Hearts this season as a chance to prove he was worth a new contract.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Don't see a place for him in the squad atm. He looked decent when he first came on the scene but his hip high challenge on SJM really put me off him. Like others have said he has done nothing of note in league 1 to show we should sign him. If the gorgie pinks have given him a contract to sign it would mean anyone who signs him would be due them a development fee, unlike JC or Josh Doig.

[AugustaHibs]

**** him. Thought he was the big man after he scored vs Celtic and tried to do mcginn in the derby at Easter road. Boy is also pish, no sure I want a boy who’s no exactly excelled at montrose

[weecounty hibby]

Nope, big fanfare based in the fact he was so young but has shown nothing since to suggest he will be a top level player. On loan at Brechin or someplace like that I believe. Probably about his level. File with all the other jambo wonder kids to fail.

Yip.

Not even close to being good enough to be considered as a Hibs player.

Thanks but no thanks. He’s not setting the grass alight at the moment and his claim to fame is a goal against Celtic. Besides, he was bigged up by the biglies as their new saviour of all things football and huge transfer fees.

Our kids a developing out on loan anyway.

[DaveF]

He'll probably be playing non league soon enough and no doubt we will be reading an article in 10 years time where he tells his tale to BAnderson about what might have been.

[Diclonius]

I'd take a punt on him.

Yup. He’s absolutely jobbies. He’ll end up at an Edinburgh City or something soon enough, not get much game time there either and then drop down to a Spartans/Linlithgow Rose or something along those lines.

I actually heard that he was City bound...

If he's refused a contract from Hearts he won't be City bound, I'd say more likely to end up at Hamilton or similar. Found him to be an arrogant wee so and so anyway, wouldn't make it into our development side........a typical Levein over estimation of a player who ranks amongst the 'Darren Mackie is the Scottish Wayne Rooney' category for managerial hyperbole

As others have said, he'll slip down the leagues quickly.

Edinburgh City of course

[greenlex]

He must have a club lined up or he’s taking a risk. In this financial climate the kind of clubs liable to be interested aren’t going to pay up to 6 figures on potential. Certainly not his potential. Having been in and around the first team and a couple of loan spells, even accounting for Levein arsing it up, if he was going to improve I think it would be showing now.

[Peevemor]

I wonder if he has something lined up given that he's KBed Hearts.

Apart from his shocking lunge at SJM, he did look pretty good when he broke into their team, albeit he was vastly over-hyped and over used as per usual with them.

He must have, surely. Nobody would turn down a contract with a newly-established top flight club?

[Jones28]

Also quite nice to see the McGinn to West Ham thread just below this one. The guy who tried to end JM's career is currently in League 1 and McGinn is the subject of £40m transfer.

Ironic.

[Pretty Boy]

I never really got the hype about him.

He was quite neat and tidy and bustled about a bit but there wasn't a lot more than that. I suppose he must have had something if he was playing 1st team football at 16 but he clearly hasn't kicked on.

It's not an area we have a real pressing need and if we did I'd want someone better than Cochrane.

Yep - clearly decent for his age but I didn’t think he was the best of the young ones breaking through for them at the time. If he’s not done anything of note since trying to decapitate McGinn then I’d have no interest in going near the lad.

[Centre Hawf]

He would cost a development fee to Hearts and I’d rather not give them a penny for someone who hasn’t kicked on in 3 years.

Surely £5 would be enough for the "development" fee, poor lad has hardly developed at the wongadome, needs a better club to improve

[Velma Dinkley]

He basically assaulted opponents every time he played and the referees rarely, if ever, punished him for it. Has he learned how to tackle properly yet?

As they are top rated for 'their' training facility, I think it is £60k for each year he's been at the club until he is 24? That is from memory so probably wrong!! He's been with them since 2014 so 7 X 60k is £420k, but I agree £5 is probably too much given how he's been handled.

[Dalianwanda]

I wouldnt take him at Hibs but thought he was very harshly treated by Hearts. Well when I say Hearts I mean Levein. Thrown in the deep end when he was struggling for players then turfed aside when older players returned.
