Josh McPake

[NerdyBlade]

3 games into the Scottish season, 2 goals 2 assists. Only 25, apparently worth 500k (transfermarkt value so take with a pinch of salt)

If we're working with a very small budget, these are the sort of risks we want to be taking. Just look at his goal from tonight!

 

[Blade56]

Won’t be £500k in January

 

[sportsmanblade]

transfer windows shut

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Frees and loans

Granted we might have some O'Hare money to spend.

Who has he scored against as my grandad would walk that league even in his wheelchair!

 

[Rodley]

Could be the next Higdon.

Got to love this forum. A player scores a couple of goals so let's buy him!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

His brother Jake is much better.

It's not just that (although that helps!) - he's young, and from what ive seen of him definitely talented

Happy Birthday Josh McPake 🎂🇱🇻

Happy birthday to Josh McPake today. Still feels like we've barely scratched the surface with him. Direct, quick, scores goals and looks like exactly the sort of player who can become a proper Tynecastle favourite. Hopefully celebrating with three points next weekend. 🇱🇻

This is one game - he's doing this pretty much week in, week out. Was probably their best player on the pitch as well against Benfica

Best player on the pitch?

That and the game they got battered 6-1, he's looked sharp and impressive - not out of place

A 73rd minute sub. 17 minutes on the pitch.
Already 4-1 down.
Okay. I think your knowledge is based on a one game, last night.
How many times have you watched Hearts/McPake to warrant such an opinion?
Last season?

He had a decent record at St Johnstone last season. Hearts picked him on a free transfer. That would've been a good opportunity for us to come in for him given we aren't paying a fee for anyone. Possibly a late developer at 25.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Hearts picked him on a free transfer.

He also fits in well with the Jamestown Analytics model of players that Hearts have signed this season.

Surprisingly, more than I thought I would.

I've a mate who's a Leeds fan. Due to their ownership also owning Rangers, he watches a fair bit of Scottish football with a view to "talent exchange" (similar to Chelsea and Strasbourg.

In doing so, he's seen a lot of McPake through his time at St Johnstone. First I heard of him was when he sent me clips of him against Rapid Vienna. Clips of last night (followed by a quick browse on Transfermarkt) are the basis for the post though

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Looks like a bit of a Michael Tonge / Jamie Murphy hybrid

Sign the cunt

Defenders looked like cones.

And, as stated above he’s not available until next window

Makes a change from "had bad twenty minutes for us, he's worth nothing and will be shit forever"!

His brother Jake is much better.

Does he have an extra leg ?
