The Relentless March of Islam

[CritchSmile]

That wasn’t a free kick. Middle of the park you win a header and the opposition player bends over to put you over their shoulders it goes the other way

I was miles away, I was just worried that it was in the box. Got to just chill around that area. Absolutely fine doing that in the middle of the park and if you get penalised so be it, but let’s not give away free kicks and pens.

Engage brain.

Sounds like he’s away. Hearts Standard reporting interest.

Weird signing

Weird signing

He'd clearly got a 'better' off after we'd secured him and this is just it happening 6 months down the line.

Hopefully he gets a nice bump in wages and we get a lump of cash.

[Zizou]

His days were numbered when he chose against coming to settle in December and hit the ground running for the title charge.

Either didn’t want to be here or very badly advised.

Not a bad player tbf just didn’t seem to gave confidence to be creative. Potentially out of position too.

[Socko]

I feel like we're going to see this kind of thing quite a lot   random punts not working out and getting gone after 6 month. Only need a few to work out.

Not going to slate him but he didn’t exactly show he was a good player either.

I would actually say he was pretty shite from what we seen but didn’t exactly have many minutes in fairness to him.

Quite a big culture shock for him so maybe give him the benefit of the doubt, best for both if he goes.

[Mastermind]

I actually thought he showed moments of technical quality, but lacked the sort of intelligence to follow a tactical plan.

Imagine him giving it the wiggo when being asked to track back.

[Rogers Mako]

Just a strange player all in. The way he was behaving before signing made it seem like he was a superstar in his own mind, a guy who thought he was too good for Hearts and was doing us a favour by signing. When he arrived, to be fair to him, he didn't play that way at all: he worked hard but just didn't look very good. Would've been fine with seeing him after a pre-season, but not worried at all about seeing him go.

[Hank Scorpio]

If we can make a profit on him, then fair enough. The model at work

Yea I'm the same, flashes of real quality at times but very few and far between and some of the random loose cannon shit he'd pull with fouls etc were concerning.

Any sort of fee we get for him will be welcome, if we'd won the league he'd have scored a match winning goal on the way to it so can't be too disappointed in him.

[2MatoFish]

I'll say this for him; he looks like he's quietly fucking mental. I bet he'd have done some entertaining nonsense had he stayed.

[CritchSmile]

He didn’t seem to know what he was doing on the field of play.

Always wonder how the boys who speak 0 English cope when so much instruction comes from the touch lines in the modern day

Mind we had the boy in the dugout for Oda, where was that for Islam?

[Rogers Mako]

Do we know if Chesnokov speaks English?

[2MatoFish]

Do we know if Chesnokov speaks English?

He spoke broken english in his welcome to gorgie announcement video. I get the feeling he was able to understand pretty well, speak poorly if he chose to and speak nothing if he didn't.

[Mikey]

Does look like he could be one of the Dnipro maniacs.

[Picards Forehead]

I got to tag along to the player sponsors Q&A evening a few months back and when Chesney got asked a question he just point blank refused to answer it

Scott Wilson couldn’t get one word of English out of him. I wouldn’t fancy speaking a new language infront of a room of jammie wearers either tbf.
