Dr. Bapswent Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Without him being fit it must be hard to be confident in what you are getting from the player. Clearly we want him, but want to see him fit. Hopefully RN has seen more of what he needs and we can get a signature, if not now, very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I think it would be worth a punt. We have another 3/4 friendlies as well the double sessions shouldn't take him long to get up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The whole fitness thing doesn't make sense. There's plenty of time for him to get fit from now until the season opener. Unless he's using this to make an example to the rest of the squad, and potential signings, that he expects 100 % commitment and no slacking will be accepted.

Teuchterjambo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I find it an odd one that we haven't signed another keeper. I suspect that they think that Hamilton is ready to step up as back up and should improve further all the time. Signing a decent standard keeper who is not going to be first choice will be very difficult and relatively costly and hinder Hamilton's development.They are probably happy with Alexander and Hamilton and rather than spend the cash on a third keeper they will bank on being allowed to sign somebody on loan if we suffer bad injuries in that department ... plenty of precedent for that.

Maybe there are question marks over Prince's ability to graft? Maybe it's we know you've got ability, come in for a week, show us you can work your socks off and we'll take it from there. Not casting doubt on his professionalism, just speculating with no foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bapswent Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I do hope that if one slight comment, hint or remark that CL makes on Twitter is not upheld 100% that he gets dogs abuse and pelters for being full of shit and the fans are allowed to hold protests with knicker twisting and teeth gnashing.... thats only fair.

Gav M Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think the aim will be to stretch the budget as far as it will go without hindering the standards required therefore making it difficult to gauge how many new recruits there will be still to come. I would imagine that even with buabin signing they will still be looking to strengthen every position where possible and within that budget.

Unknown user Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm reading the situation as this- Hearts want Buaben and are hoping to persuade him to take a relatively low paid deal in the championship using the facilities, spirit in training and Edinburgh the city as the carrot.

Quint Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Relatively low risk signing given Levein knows him and he has been in Scotland before, Obviously proved fitness over the last week. Its important we have known quantities as well as guys that are untried in Scotland and uncertain to fit in with the style of game here. We cant afford to be sitting in December with all our new signings on the bench or out the team. They need to make an immediate impact I am hopeful that the majority will do so.
