FarmerTweedy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Craig Levien said there would be 8 new signings this summer. We are half way there now with Morgaro Gomis, James Keatings, Soufian El Hassnaoui and now Neil Alexander joining us. Who will be next? GK LB/CB CM S You reckon we're going to sign Geoff Kilpatrick, Catriona Matthew, Suso and either Leighton Baines or Clare Balding? I think those are all highly unlikely!

Gregory House M.D. Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 State the obvious then. Course you would. You'd be a fool not too. Webster/Wilson perfectly adequate pairing. Especially in a stronger squad in the championship. Shame it won't happen. Webster/Wilson was the worst regular defensive partnership I've watched at Hearts. Webster needs a strong head next to him to run the defence to play his game properly. Watching him run it when Zal was out was harrowing. People seem to forget just how poor our defence was after Zals injury. I honestly wouldn't want Webster back unless we were signing a Zaliukas or a Pressley and moving Wilson to LB.

Purely because he's like an older version of Wilson. I disagree with this, I think Webster would be the ideal partner to guide Wilson through games, a sort of Davie Weir type player. Calm at the back, reads the game well, and also, Wilson would be able to focus on his own game rather than perhaps worrying about a mistake from a team mate.

We've already watched this partnership unfold and it was terrible... Webster is not a leader. In fact, he was the exact opposite of "ideal" for Wilson. Davie Weir on the other hand was an ideal partner. Purely because he was a no nonsense CB who could run a defence and a natural leader. Webster and Wilson are both "strollers" who play next to the commanding CB. Not together. This is proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that Webster was the glue in that partnership until my mate asked me to watch a bit more closely. Webster is a stroller. He's a good player but definitely not a leader. If you had a choice of partner for DW. Webster would be third from that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he was the exact opposite of "ideal" for Wilson. Webster wouldn't have to be a leader. When Wilson first came he hadn't played first team football in years and Webster was expected to marshal the defence. Now, Wilson has a season and a bit under his belt, and is at an age where he needs to find consistency in his game. Webster would be a player, in my eyes, capable of helping him find it. What I would argue is whether he'd be the right player to help the likes of Paterson and McHattie along, but I don't think there's any chance of us signing him anyway so it doesn't really matter. And perhaps comparing him with Weir made the wrong point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Moss Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I like Webster, but he isn't a leader. He is happy to let players know when they should be doing better, but I don't think he encourages or coaches a young player through a game, which is what will be required. He and Zal had a good partnership because they had the right balance of Zal being both dominant (aerially and in the tackle) and encouraging and Webster covering and essentially being the 'bad cop'. I don't think that dynamic is reflected at all with a Webster-Wilson partnership - in fact they are too similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And perhaps comparing him with Weir made the wrong point Webster would be an excellent coach/example for Wilson because they are very similar players. Not a defensive partner though. The ideal defensive partner for Danny Wilson was David Weir. We need to find a player with experience not only in football but in leading a team and defence. Much like Pressley with Webster, obviously a tad different but McPherson with Weir and Ritchie. Sandy Jardine with Craig Levein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut The Crap Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There does seem to be a certain amount of "chatter" around the likelihood of Wilson leaving. I've ignored it because I couldn't corroborate it anywhere else, but a few well connected fans I've bumped into seem to be taking it as read he will be off. We'll see, I guess.
