Yes, of course they can produce quality players, and i have watched lennon Miller, a few times in international youth games, he is a player who has always stood out, but saying a player is statistically the 6th best player is a nonsensical statement, as they have produced those statistics against low quality teams and players.

It isn't really there boss said it and wouldn't said it if he didn't have the data to back it up that is what clubs use laugh away if you want you'll see where this kid goes and the career he will have if he doesn't pick up injuries

You keep saying this- producing quality youth products might be laudable but it has literally no bearing in it being a quality league. You have been provided evidence that clearly demonstrates it's a very poor standard league. That's not a dig at Scotland it's just a fact.

Liberia produced George Weah. Georgia produced Georgi Kinkladze. Northern Ireland produced George Best. Doesn't make their domestic leagues good. It's irrelevant

Are you deliberately not getting it? For one his head coach is going to big him up, he wants the biggest fee possible for him when he is sold.

And most importantly, if you're playing against chod opposition it's easier to look good. If he was starting in the premier league there is no way he would be statistically as good as he is in Scotland. Surely you can see this?

And this doesn't take in to account what stats he means. It could be least yellow cards, passing percentage, most assists, shots in target. Anything. It's a throw away comment with no evidence or even insight to what he is talking about

Obviously but it's still a cool stat reguardless and there isn't many 18 year old playing week in week out in Premier and Championship anyway so right back at you with that one mate so that is another mute point on your part
 
Pretty telling that Rangers seem to be the only club who have ever shown any serious interest in taking him away from Hearts. Doubt he’d cut it in the Championship.
 
Feel sorry for Hearts

SFA have already criticised the “pen” for Celtic that gave them a proper shot against Hearts

And now Hearts losing better players before the dust has even settled

Back to the old firm fighting it out no doubt

3 people on the KMI panel whoever they are voted 2-1 that the decision by the VAR AVAR and onfield ref was wrong. Not exactly a ringing endorsement that the decision was wrong.

As in the end that means 4 refs(assuming the KMI panel are refs) thought it was a pen and 2 didn't. Seems pretty conclusive to me, double the decision makers thought it was a pen.

As I've been saying Hearts winning the league would be irrelevant if they didn't build on it. Their captain clearly would have jumped ship regardless.

next season was always going to be hard as you’d expect Celtic and Rangers not to throw away 10 games due to terrible management.

Like I’ve said multiple times though a sensible transfer policy in Scotland won’t cost much and will return positives. Hearts now have European football to offer and Jamestown Analytics data, £5/10m could get you 4 or 5 players that are easily good enough to be top of the league if you sell them the story of using Hearts as a stepping stone onto the bigger European leagues/teams and you can’t use Brighton as proof you won’t stand in their way.

Rangers doing the usual of taking somebody from a smaller club that’s done well and hope they reproduce for them with no real forward planning.

You’re lumping in 3 refs from VAR that it was right. Personally don’t feel that would have been given “against” Celtic on the night…

Should be going for this lad.

His numbers over the last couple of years are exactly what we require.

Have we really fallen so far as a club that we cannot pick up the better players from the SPL that don’t play for the big two.

No coaches, no strikers, no money! Shambles
