heartsfc_fan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ewan Murray: Chat over weekend was Craig Beattie will sign for Hearts tomorrow. Much needed attacking impetus, if he's fit. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I do not get overly stressed about who identifies players at Hearts, as long as it is left up to the manager to select them for the matchday squad then I do not think it is massively important and I doubt PS thinks so either. Pretty sure Sergio would want a striker added to his squad if he was available right now. All true I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmaroon Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Together with this and earlier threads that's over 20 pages so far of speculation. This is exactly what I didn't miss about the blessedly quiet January transfer window. Anf of course if we do sign him he will be allowed maybe three appearances before the "he's gash/shyte/pesh" threads start. You optimist you!

Jambo, Goodbye Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The idea of Craig Beattie scoring the winner against Celtic in the Cup Final pleases me. I do realise however that I am well ahead of myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Who's being negative? I'm only going by what the manager said: "I don't know. It's not up to me to speak about that," said Sergio when asked about the possible new signing. "I don't sign anybody. If somebody is making a contract with the club, nobody tells me nothing yet, so I am not speaking about this yet." the managers said a bit more here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17087136 To me, in all honesty, it sounds done and dusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If we sign Beattie I look forward to seeing how he does. Those expecting one striker to have a transformational effect on our performances should maybe reflect on the fact that between them Torres, Kalou and Drogba could muster one shot on target against a lower league side at the weekend.

I actually think he (potentially) could. Look at the difference last season with and without Kyle. I think if fit and on form he could improve the team significanly.

Bozi Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 While one forward won't transform the team having someone who can hold the ball up and allow the midfield to push forward into space,link it wide or simply get in behind the centre backs and getting them turned will hopefully mean that opposition defenses are forced to concede space that we can use. At the moment opposition defenses get an easy ride,push higher up and deny any space to the midfield and our play has become very stale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 We're putting a lot of strain on Elliott to perform and Glen and Smith aren't really up to it (yet anyway). At least bringing in Beattie will give a bit more experience up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VargasDa Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think Eliott is unfairly seen as utter gash. He will never be a lone striker, he needs someone up front and in his time here I dont think it has happened often enough. He does graft for the team. Would love to see him with a good partner for a few games in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certaily does but heres hoping if we do sign him he can stay fit. A lot of if's and but's at the moment. He's a player that can hold up the ball and score goals which we've not had for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnking123 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Eliott needs another striker beside him that can make space for him. Afraid Sutton's running of the ball was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would just like to have a striker worthy of the name. One who scores goals. I don't care who he's played for before. Beattie has scored about 30 goals in 160 club appearances, so averages less than 1 goal per 5 games ... not much different from Elliott's average this season, and poorer than Elliott's last season. I'm with all the possible positives expressed here, but I just don't think we should get carried away. And mutiple multiple page threads suggests to me some might be.

Victorian Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 why the giant pondering over a tuesday signing? it's a recognised day of the week. there's roughly a 1 in 7 chance of a signing falling on a tuesday. if they were to make a signing and announce it on an eighth day of the week that they just invented, yeah that might be worth a raised eyebrow. i reckon we'll see him tomorrow ( tuesday ) with the scarf above the heid... if he buys one.

Steady . Elliott up front on his own would work if we played in a way which suits him. We don't so it might be best for Hearts and Elliott to see him in a wide position where he would do a hell of a lot of work for everyone else in the team.
