Deevers Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Not overly enthused by the prospect of yet another loan signing. It's all gone quiet on the hunt for a goalkeeper and some quality in midfield. Beginning to wonder where they are looking. Mediocre loans have a habit of just being mediocre and little else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick witter Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Fair enough the boy can play midfield but we need proven experience in the middle of the park look at the difference in the players Aberdeen are targeting and have signed compared to the guys we are trying to get in. Get some money spent on experienced British/Scottish style players. We have been crying out for it for over a year!!!! This guy will be another Choulay or Ngoo or Mcallum.

Ibrahim Tall Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Not sure how a defender that's 'able to play in midfield' helps solve our midfield problems tbh. Our problems aren't in breaking up the play etc it's having zero pace, drive or creativity. We don't need another Kitchen, Cowie, Nowak, Grzelak or even Martin.

Gigolo-Aunt Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Can only assume that Smith is going out on loan and this is a player who can fill in a few positions as a back up. Don't think he is going to make the grade at Liverpool so would not expect them to be too fussy if he is getting game time every week with us. Would be a bit of a disaster I think if he is being signed to solve midfield issues - don't think the club would be that daft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not where our attention should be focussed. I'm not passing judgement one way or another just pointing out a possible reason (if it's true). Although if you step back and think for a minute it might make sense. Liam goes to St Mirren and get's loads of good experience and we have relatively decent cover for Smith (Brandon needs brought along slowly imo). Just a thought though.

rick witter Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Do you think this is likely whilst we build the new stand? Why not?? The building of the new stand should not be at a compromise of the team on the pitch. We signed 9 players in January when we knew we were building a new stand. The money is there for players and we need them in now. If we start the league campaign with our current goalkeeper and midfield then we are a bottom six side.

JamboDaz88 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Really don't understand this one, there are much more pressing issues in the squad than this. Smith is just in the door with us having Brandon ready for the step up to understudy, looks a good prospect from the limited chances he's had in my opinion so why this loan deal? Money we could/should be putting towards a goalkeeper, central midfielder and a genuine wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendricks Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Nothing against this lad at all and he might be a super player in the making but it's simply not good enough in my view to be signing young guys on loan in the hope that they come up and immediately produce in our first team. We have tried it with the likes of Ngoo in the past with very limited success. It smacks of being ill prepared and not having better options. We need ready to play first team starters to improve. Fine if he's one of a number of further additions but totally underwhelming if seen as the answer to some of the major issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 As has been said above we need a keeper another central midfielder and another winger.

el_jambo74 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Also got a mate who is a knowledgeable Liverpool fan, and he's told me he's never been impressed by him. He's not awful but has no outstanding attributes. Heavily built so appears slow. Very much a strange looking target to me with Michael Smith, Brandon and Liam Smith all vying for right back. We need pace in our team and this guy doesn't appear to have it. Uninspiring to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a definate problem for Hearts. Decent crosses and corners into the Hearts box often result in goals for the other team. We must have lost a lot of goals from headers last season and it doesn't seem to have changed much even though Berra is back in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar PHM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Why do people think just because of this rumour the club has decided to pass on a GK and MF? Bizarre chat folks. I can see their point if I'm honest. The coaching staff and the DOF have known since.....lets be generous and say March 2017 that we had clear problems in midfield. Problems with width pace and creativity. Thats 4 months ago we knew and yet here we are, in the League cup against minor opposition (being generous again), 1 week from our first league match in what is a difficult start to the league season and we're struggling due to lack of width, pace and creativity in the middle of the park and we've lost pretty badly to a side that shouldn't have been able to live with us. This should have been sorted long before our first competitive match. I can see how it would irk people when there isn't a sniff of a midfield signing and here we are rumoured to be interested in a position we have at least 3 player cover for already. I imagine even if we do fix it now, good folks like yourself will be excusing poor performances for the next 6 weeks as the new guys 'haven't settled yet' or 'didnae dae a full pre-season' We have improved things up front and in defence. But its like having 3 holes in your roof and only fixing 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
