Yeh i cant see him being marquee at heart. They have already said they wouldnt be getting "big names", they would be getting the right player.
But i also agree that there is a good chance heart will be able to fit him under the cap. Home town, good relationship and already trains with them when he needs to. I have no doubt that they would be able to work something out to get him.
Lets face it, our big new creative signing will probably be someone like Cernak.... another club hopping no hope!
