heartsfc_fan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 He'll automatically be the the best keeper at Hibs if he goes. ..and he's our 3rd choice. Certainly won't lose any sleep if he goes there. Decent keeper (peppered in with a few shakey moments), but he's on a good wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drylaw Hearts Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Meh. It's a load of shite though. I bet this Fenlon bloke hasn't even heard of The Balogh and even if he was offered him he'd obviously ask the opinion of his new assistant who just happened to be 50% of the management team who rated him 3rd choice.

gorgie_rebel Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Never felt easy when the Balogh was in goals. Bit too much of a bombscare. Dunno what kind of wage he's on but if the club need to free up some cash, he's a good start.

I.T.K Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 So I think 'the Balogh' on a pretty sweet deal i.e. more then we willing to pay from now on. Also from the report he wants to stay in Scotland and, unless he is daft, he must know that will require a pay cut! Now do you think it would be a good idea for Hearts to offer 'the Balogh' a new deal on less terms IF Kello were to leave during the winter transfer window. If not who would be back up to MacDonald?

bighusref Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Don't mind Balogh. Played well for us on occasions. If, as suggested, he would consider a reduced contract, I'd keep him. He is much better than MacDonald, though. As for being settled, he lives in the stair I used to live in. So, good flat in a good area, I can understand why he wants to stay.

I'd imagine Ridgers will be the new back-up keeper come the end of the season. If Kello and MacDonald were both to reject new contracts then it might not be a bad idea to keep Balogh on if he accepted reduced terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 As others have said, if he's willing to take a pay cut in the SPL we should offer him one. He's better than Macdonald IMO and with Kello's departure pretty imminent I'd rather we had him as number 1 than Macdonald with Ridgers as back up. He's nowhere near as bad as some people are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schevchenko Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Balogh would be the best keeper they would have had in ages, I hope he doesent go cos lets face it he's actually quite good. He was unlucky with a few injuries and then Kello became much more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't think Balogh is any better than MacDonald IMO. Considering our last 2 management teams have kept him out the squad probably tells us something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Tucker Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have nothing against The Balrog. Still think he's a strong goalkeeper and would probably walk into most SPL teams. The stick he gets on here is unwarranted IMO. However, he is bound to be on a fairly decent wage, so if he moves on, he moves on. Awra best Janos.

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He's the 2nd best keeper at the club, in my opinion. My memories of MacDonald are him costing us goals in big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognise that nothing in your post disagrees with what I am about to say, but, I think it is important to note that we do not have a senior goalkeeper in contract beyond the summer. If I am recalling correctly from all lists of contract expiries, the three senior and Ridgers are all out of contract. If I am recalling correctly, we run the risk of having none of them and looking to recruit a couple of brand new 'keepers in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesmith Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't really get the generally negative attitude to Balogh and don't feel he really deserves it. He came to us under Csaba on loan and was first choice. He played well and generally speaking most people where happy enough with him signing permanently. After that he got a limited number of games more mainly due to the emergence of Kello but also due to Csaba's departure. I feel that as well as Kello played a lot of Balogh's exile was down to the fact Kello was a romanov signing and Balogh a Csaba signing. There is no doubting for me that Balogh is better than Macdonald. I am not convinced Balogh leaving is automatically a done deal. With Macdonald out of contract and apparently hesitating and Kello a high earner with a value it would not surprise me at all if the club decided to offer Balogh something be it as a competitor for number 1 or cover albeit on a reduced wage. As it stands come July we could be left with Ridgers. It's worth noting he hasn't played that much in the 3 years he was here and I don't think when he did he really let us down at all.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He's poor. 1 great save (against Hibs) is all i ever remember him making. They can have him. Must have forgot his great game against Zagreb or his penalty save against Dundee Utd that helped us into Europe. He's a good keeper who lost a lot of confidence and had to compete with Kello who has been great for 2 years. Wouldn't like to see him go to Hibs.
