thirdyboy1976 Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Apologies if this has already been discussed. But I have been working away & I picked up a copy of 4-4-2 & they discussed every team from Scotland & England & who were the best & worst foreign players for every club. For Hearts they picked: Best: Antti Niemi Worst: Gordan Petri? Do you agree? Hard to argue I suppose but on a personal level I'd maybe edge out Niemi for Stephane Adam- loved watching him play.

How can you say Petric was worse then Barasa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Denny Crane Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I'd go with Niemi but while Petric was bad, there are a number of candidates who are probably more deserving - Beslija, Makela, Berthe, Nade and Eskilsson to name a few examples.
Vlad-Stupid Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Pretty accurate IMO. It's hard to nail down the worst considering some of the shite we've had
soonbe110 Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Pretty accurate IMO. It's hard to nail down the worst considering some of the shite we've had Flogel is up there as best imo.
Guest Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I'd go with Niemi but while Petric was bad, Eskilsson The only man i know who blamed the crowd for scaring him for not scoring a sitter in a derby game
...a bit disco Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Poker playing ledge Hans Eskilsson? A 'footballer' in hair only.
MoBerthe Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Best xi. Niemi, Flogel, Fyssas, Bruno, Karipidis, Aguair, Skacel, Tomachek, Bednar, Adam, Pospisil. Probably a couple of better ones but can't think. Worst xi. Kurskis, Barasa, Kancelskis, Petric, Van de Ven, le clerq,Berthe, Pilibaitis, Eskilsson, Klimek,Benuisis
Vlad-Stupid Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Look at the thread title again He was one of the worst imo
Vlad-Stupid Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Foreigners? This is the second thread I've done this this is my last drink, I'm going to bed
Beats Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 This is the second thread I've done this this is my last drink, I'm going to bed :Vlad-Stupid:
Floyd Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 This is the second thread I've done this this is my last drink, I'm going to bed Ha ha ha!!! Thought it was just me who did this!! I'm not the only one.
Jambomullins Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 This is a toughie. Best = Niemi and worst = barasa. I think fyssas has easily been our top foriegn outfield player but it would be Vincent guerin had we had him for a season or two as he was top class
Uncle Buck Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 This is the second thread I've done this this is my last drink, I'm going to bed

For Hearts they picked: Best: Antti Niemi Worst: Gordan Petri? Do you agree? Hard to argue I suppose but on a personal level I'd maybe edge out Niemi for Stephane Adam- loved watching him play. Hard to argue with Niemi. There is quite a few could be the worst. Best xi. Niemi, Flogel, Fyssas, Bruno, Karipidis, Aguair, Skacel, Tomachek, Bednar, Adam, Pospisil. Probably a couple of better ones but can't think. Worst xi. Kurskis, Barasa, Kancelskis, Petric, Van de Ven, le clerq,Berthe, Pilibaitis, Eskilsson, Klimek,Benuisis All about opinions and i agree with most of those except i didnt think Pospisil was that great and would have Jankauskas in the "Best" team instead and I honestly thought that any time Kancelskis played he looked ok.
rossthejambo Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Worst is Kurskis, anyone saying otherwise needs a lobotomy.
Floyd Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Folk sayin barrasa have got nae badword clue Berthe & Petric were way worse than Barasa.
Bunny Munro Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Best xi. Niemi, Flogel, Fyssas, Bruno, Karipidis, Aguair, Skacel, Tomachek, Bednar, Adam, Pospisil. Probably a couple of better ones but can't think. Worst xi. Kurskis, Barasa, Kancelskis, Petric, Van de Ven, le clerq,Berthe, Pilibaitis, Eskilsson, Klimek,Benuisis Kancelskis was a great player, right across the back 4. The only bad thing is he couldnt play without getting booked. Beniusis would have turned out ok if he was managed right and not thrown to the lions IMO.
Dayman Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I'd go with Niemi but while Petric was bad, there are a number of candidates who are probably more deserving - Beslija, Makela, Berthe, Nade and Eskilsson to name a few examples. beslija and nakela were far fom the worst we have had... beslija was a good player but didnt live up to the crazy hype.. makela was a good player and always wanted him to start. worst: [insert name ending in aunas]
cosanostra Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Worst is Kurskis, anyone saying otherwise needs a lobotomy. This x 198939384938. There has never been anyone as bad as Kurskis. Skacel best foreigner.
Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 The feature took into account transfer fees & wages etc, so by that reckoning I'd say Petric is by far the worst. Thought Rudi was a stick on for best!
Tazio Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 A bit annoying when you notice that 2 of the best foreigners we have had at the club ability wise aren't quoted by anyone. Annoying as in what a pair of lazy fecking wasters they were. Kingston and Pinilla.
bighusref Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Peter Van de Ven did a job for Hearts. Not great but nowhere near this thread.
Floyd Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Peter Van de Ven did a job for Hearts. Not great but nowhere near this thread. He also had a great 'tache!!!
Napoleon Wilson Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Can't see past Nade for worst foreigner, and thats' not a fat joke. I think they only thing in his favour was he could score against the shite.
Uncle Buck Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Can't see past Nade for worst foreigner, and thats' not a fat joke. I think they only thing in his favour was he could score against the shite. He's nowhere near the worst.
Bozi Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Barasa,kurskis,Petric were all terrible but i have yet to see the name Fitzroy Simpson
Kendoll Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 To quote 4-4-2: Best Antti Niemi 1999-2002: 106 apps, 0 goals The Finnish No.1 was a mark of dependability, making a real name for himself with his penalty-saving before joined Southampton for ?2m. Worst Gordan Petric 1999-2001: 45 apps, 1 goal Not only error prone, but expensive: the Serb defender, said to be on ?10k a week, was the worst of the deals contributing to Hearts financial woes.
:shitwine: Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Barasa,kurskis,Petric were all terrible but i have yet to see the name Fitzroy Simpson Simpson was awful. His only saving grace was his great display in a 3-2 win at Parkhead.
Uncle Buck Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Niemi Maybury Karipidis Goncalves Fyssas Kingston Aguair Brellier Skacel Bednar Jankauskas Our best foreign team would be something like that.
davesmith Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Takis Niemi was a class player for us however it was often easy to forget how good Takis was, he just oozzed class and you could see why he had played at the highest level. Worst is surely one of the Liths who didnt get a game (lekevicius or razulis). Straceny was horrific in his appearence too although I am not doubting he was a better player than he ever showed us.
Bickfest Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Niemi Maybury Karipidis Goncalves Fyssas Kingston Aguair Brellier Skacel Bednar Jankauskas Our best foreign team would be something like that. Great side. But i'd swap Flogel for Maybury, Tomaschek for Kingston and Pinilla for Jankauskas. There isn't a side in the SPL who could live with that team.
Victorian Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 hardy best johnny-F = rudi. it's barking to consider anyone else. don't give a shite who the worst was.
iantjambo Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Best 11: Niemi Flogel Fyssas Karapidis Tall Skacel Aguiar Camazolla Salvatori Bednar Jankaukas Worst 11: Kurskis Barrasa le clerq Petric Kancelskis Berthe pillibitis Beslija Eskillson Klimek Makela on a sidenote brellier got worst for Norwich
:shitwine: Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Best 11: Niemi Flogel Fyssas Karapidis Tall Skacel Aguiar Camazolla Salvatori Bednar Jankaukas Worst 11: Kurskis Barrasa le clerq Petric Kancelskis Berthe pillibitis Beslija Eskillson Klimek Makela on a sidenote brellier got worst for Norwich If FFT did a best and worst player list again (they did in abou 2004), I'd hope Ian Murray would win worst Norwich player. Strangely enough, in that 2004 list, Stephane Adam was listed as our best player (Petric was still the worst). It turned out the bloke they asked was told it was cult hero rather than best player - he admitted he would have given best player ever to Robbo.
Simo Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 In terms of pure 'value for money' Beslija has to be the worst... to think we spunked the best part of ?1mil on him and he'll probably forever be our record signing Harrowing!
Figo GMC Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Best xi. Niemi, Flogel, Fyssas, Bruno, Karipidis, Aguair, Skacel, Tomachek, Bednar, Adam, Pospisil. Probably a couple of better ones but can't think. Worst xi. Kurskis, Barasa, Kancelskis, Petric, Van de Ven, le clerq,Berthe, Pilibaitis, Eskilsson, Klimek,Benuisis Pospisil wasnt even half the player jankauskas was! Didnt mind micky as a player but technically big janny was light years ahead, as their respective CV's illustrate.
Deevers Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Maybe just too long ago for most on here - but I'm more than a little surprised that no-one has mentioned Roald Jensen - one of the best right wingers I've seen playing for Hearts. He'd get a game in any team I'd pick.
