1874robbo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 If we've got a spare ?500,000 to spend on transfer fee plus wages, I'd rather it was sent the way of Walker and Patterson to extend their deals by a further year. I dont see the point of that tbh. They will not be with us passed this season anyway and it would be highly unlikely they would sign extensions.

We might get to see a special player for a year or two and the club might turn a profit. We won't be gambling with money that we don't have.

bistokid Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Whether we've bid for Gamakov or not, I can only think that Neilson is bluffing here. When he talks about options its evident we don't have enough - I'd be surprised if we do not pursue something before the window closes, equally if Anderson is still with us.

Gav M Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 We do not conduct our business in the media, we go about things in the background and only make a statement when we have our man. I wouldn't expect robbie to be saying anything else at this point. If we get someone in, great....if not, the club haven't got the fans hopes up and alerted other teams to our targets.

Same happened with Oshiniwa though, Wigan and Celtic were mentioned as direct competiton but the reality is/was there was probably only us that were actually 100% interested in him and he came here. Agents have a job to do and linking him with several clubs is designed to put the pressure on the interested parties. If we have had an offer knocked back this info from his agent is desingned to force our hand to up the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJohn1874 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This might mean Walker is moving sooner rather than later and if so this is exactly the type of move we should be making, one attacking midfield player for another. It could also mean McGhee is moving. What people need to realise is that Hearts are a selling club and have made a big play about how they can help players find a path down south. This can be a good thing for encouraging quality foreign players here, who would not come if we were going to make a fuss over keeping players here. To me this sounds like a quality investment and a direct replacement for Anderson and El-Hass. This would also allow Anderson to go on loan to see if he actually has any ability or just moved on as most of us suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It's agent talk with reference to events that happened weeks ago when we may well have been interested in the player along with a number of other players at that time. Time has moved on and other signings have been made but the agent still sees his client at his existing club with just over 2 weeks to go until the transfer window closes and needs to get his name out there so starts leaking stories to the press in a hope of generating interest. The club seem to need the money and can see the chance of a fee fading into the distance so no doubt are happy to see the player touted around. He's doing his job and good luck to him but unless there is a move out I don't see this one happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YMWrules Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Still plenty of time left in this transfer window,teams from this part of the World will be easier to deal with near the end of the window. This boy looks like the type of player we would be interested in but if we don't get him im confident we have another 3 similar guys that we would be looking at and in the event of McGhee being sold im sure we will spend every penny wisely.

All good points and, to maybe back up the interest story, my source, very reliable, says that CL is after another player but things have probably stalled and they may need to go back again in the next window, That says to me that we expect some of our current squad to move on, releasing funds, then get the guy we are after. He is allegedly keeping this one close to his chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Two things. Firstly we won't tell our rivals our signing strategy why would we. Secondly the club aren't going to say until deals are done but have been rumbled previously. Juanma for example was not meant to reach our domain. This is therefore a possibility but deals are often complicated and done publicly alerts others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I don't believe guys as astute as Levein and Neilson can't see that the glaring hole in our squad is a high quality attacking central midfielder. Even if the preference is to play with 2 sitting midifelders a properly talented attacking central midfielder could take this team to a different level. Our football management will know this and whilst we don't desperately need such a player I am 100% certain that they will be working away in the background to get such a player, whether this window or next or for next season.

Rods Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I feel Anderson has been a bit unlucky. He came to Hearts when we were on the crest of a wave a wee bit and could not get in the side. I also feel that his arrival game walker the competition he required to kick onto the next level which he has done so far. Still plenty of time for Anderson to shine he just has to bide his time I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_92 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Kostadinov was a kid who'd never kicked a ball in a proper football match when we signed him.

Literally the only similarity is that they're both Bulgarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing whooshed over my head. You asked "Remember the last hottest prospect in Bulgarian football we signed ? how did that work out?" I was merley pointing out that it's not relevant to us looking at another Bulgarian. Whether he is touted as being a wonderkid or not was being debated. If we are genuinley looking at him then it's RN and CL who wil be making the decision on the quality of the player not sombody who was related to the the sining of Kostadinov 10 years ago.
