Robbie Neilson

[Profondo Rosso]

There we go, first permanent signing (not a pre-loanne) of the summer

Hearts defender Robbie Neilson has agreed terms with Leicester City and will leave Tynecastle in the summer.

The 28-year-old right-back and club captain is Hearts' longest-serving player after joining from Rangers 13 years ago.

Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo had hoped to persuade Neilson to sign a new contract with the Edinburgh club.

But Sunday's final Scottish Premier League game of the season against Celtic will be his last appearance.

Sounds interesting to me, what can you say about him HF (I mean his abilities on the pitch)?

 

[d70g]

Feisty, no-nonense full-back. Not the paciest but plenty of bite. Should thrive at Championship level.

Right backs from Hearts have always been great, delighted that we've snapped one of them up :icon_lol:

 

[slyfox]

Looking at jambos kickback(hearts forum),they are almost in agreement that he gives 100%,but lacks quality.

Jolly good. I love the fact that there has been absolutely no speculation about this whatsoever. :icon_lol:

Yeah but what about this Iranian lad :icon_eek:

 

[Graz]

No idea who he is...

Thinking the Gilbert deal is dead probably though, because they were saying a couple of weeks ago it was close... then nothing, and then we sign another RB.

Hopefully this guy will be good.

Neilson doesn't sound very Scottish though, is he part Scandi? He looks it too...

 

[Harbro-Fox]

Can't say a lot about him really but a few of you guys seem to think he will do alright so good. No nonsense someone said which suits the bill very good, 28 adds a bit of experience, please with this signing.

amazing, is he available to sign? looks an incredible talent! if he can play in a world cup against Portugal he would look class against a Championship quality Hull team

 

[MHS]

Wonder if his old chums Maybury, Kisnorbo and Hamill helped him to make a decision?
