St Mirren boss Danny Lennon is hoping to have Aaron Mooy in his squad for Saturday's Scottish Premier League clash with Hearts at Tynecastle.[LNB] The 20-year-old Australian midfielder is training with Saints while the Paisley club try to come to a financial agreement with Bolton.[LNB]Mooy rejected a contract extension offer from the Lancashire club in the summer and Lennon is confident a deal to bring the player north of the border can be concluded.[LNB]"Aaron is actually up (training) with us at this moment," the Buddies boss said.[LNB]"We feel confident that we can come to some sort of agreement with Bolton.[LNB]"We have him up with us so that if it does go ahead he will not have to play catch up.[LNB]"There are one or two things to be sorted out but we are confident that there will be something sorted and fingers crossed it is before the weekend."[LNB]Saints are bottom of the SPL with five points from eight games as they look forward to the trip to Hearts on Saturday and Lennon believes developing a "nasty streak" would go some way to improving results.[LNB]He said: "We need a wee nasty streak about us. At times we are just too nice.[LNB]"I don't just mean with the opposition. I also mean with our players influencing and directing players around them.[LNB]"I feel the more experienced ones have to give the other ones a hand and point fingers.[LNB]"In the last couple of weeks at training, for instance, I have heard players moaning about the ball being over the line for a throw-in.[LNB]"But see when a goal goes in - not a peep.[LNB]"That frustrates me because I would be more concerned with that but I will keep at them and eventually the penny should drop."
