Garang Kuol's Hearts stint isn't currently going to plan. The Australian sensation, 18, has made just one league start since moving north of the border in January and has only enjoyed a handful of cameo appearances.
Focus among Newcastle supporters has, naturally, turned to whether the temporary move to the Scottish side was wise or not. Shola Ameobi, Newcastle's loan coordinator, played a big part in Kuol's first UK loan move.
But on the face of it, Newcastle were right to send to the teenager to Hearts. Fellow Australian senior players such as Celtic's Aaron Mooy, St Mirren's Keanu Baccus and Dundee United's Aziz Behich all ply their trade in the division, while three of Kuol's national team-mates - Nathaniel Atkinson, Kye Rowles and Cammy Devlin - play for the Jam Tarts.
