Musemic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 While I agree that our strength last season came from our wide players we have to keep in mind next season will be a lot of small tight pitches that will not suit playing with width. I wouldn't be too sure of that. Tynecastle is a pretty small pitch itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo 4 Ever Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Next signing will be a centre half who isn't British but will please fans, they may even be delighted... Any other clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The first thing I do when I wake up is go check kickback to see if anyone's signed I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of player we've been signing, they should all do very well in Championship and most should hold their own in the SPFL when we return.

Was just about to post then saw this! Not really had any snippets of info on signings for the past wee while, hopefully this proves to be accurate and we see a signing tomorrow! Zaliukas has been mentioned, would love to see him back!! So possibly a new CB coming in, what else? Any advancement of talks with Lee Miller? Skacel rumours will not go away until he signs for someone. Hopefully there's still plenty to come in the next few weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macros Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Wingers = inconsistent Young players = inconsistent A few minutes of brilliance from a young winger can win matches.

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Was speaking to Walker`s Dad today. Jamie has been offered a 3 year deal and is set to sign. Good stuff. Not saying this is wrong information but I'm sure or thought I was sure Walker signed new deal the afternoon of Budge & Levein taking over. Good news if he does sign new 3 year deal but like Gary Oliver news yesterday I thought he'd already signed a new deal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie played next to him. He is a good defender. Things not going well at Leeds. Fans would welcome his return. If what the guys who are claiming to be in the know is correct, then he ticks those boxes too. Nothing more than a feeling from me though, just seems to fit.

Shaggy2 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It all depends on what Leeds new manager wants to do with him, but Zaliukas seems to be so far out of the picture at Leeds I'd love to think Hearts would be in touch with regard to a year long loan paying a percentage (10-15%?) of his basic. If he plays well, they can recall him and sell him in January if they have a buyer. It's wishful thinking in the extreme, I know but getting Thumb on this type of deal effectively extended our neighbours' stay in the top division by two years!

He's always been a standout for Berwick always looked much better than League 2. Left Berwick in summer chasing a return to Full Time football. Would be a good addition to the squad whether he could force himself into a regular might be a different matter.

Spencer Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Not sure I see the merit in Holt, Gomis & Robinson in same side. I suspect we will see 2 from 3 in most games.
