But we\u2019ve seen this before. Big signings don\u2019t always translate to big results.\u201d<\/em> He pointed to previous cases where players with promising reputations failed to deliver in the high-pressure environment of the Scottish Premiership.<\/p>\n<p>Hearts, under manager Steven Naismith, are aiming to close the gap on the Old Firm and solidify their European ambitions. The new signing is seen as a key part of that push. But Sheridan warned that success in Edinburgh isn\u2019t guaranteed: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s a different challenge. The pace, the physicality, the expectations \u2013 they all weigh heavy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite his reservations, Sheridan acknowledged the player\u2019s potential and the club\u2019s ambition. <em>\u201cIf it clicks, it could be a game-changer. But let\u2019s not crown anyone before a ball\u2019s been kicked.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The comments have sparked debate among fans, with some agreeing that Hearts need more than marquee signings to progress.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheridan questions &#8216;excitement&#8217; around Hearts deal&#8230;. &nbsp; &nbsp; Former Celtic striker Chris Sheridan has questioned the widespread excitement surrounding a recent high-profile signing at Hearts, urging fans to manage expectations.
