WavyGravy Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Its on 1 or 2 of these SPFL rumour sites as well which to be fair, are normally right.

Australis Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I like the thought of Gomis and Buaben controlling the midfield and sending the youngsters on there way with some tidy passes.

RenfrewHearts Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Interesting its a 1 year deal in comparison to the 3 year deals for the rest. Decent signing nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Maybe the staff need to be complemented on their powers of negotiation. They probably played heavy on the improve your fitness/prove yourself again for a longer deal/put yourself in the shop window angle, also the fact he must realise he was at Partick recently and be a bit realistic with himself.

heartsfc_fan Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Getting players like Gomis, Alexander and Buaben in. Plus the two lads from abroad and getting talent like Nicholson to sign up long term - this is only a good thing. Somebody must be doing the right thing in the background. Levein? Whoever has orchestrated these deals deserves a pat on the back. We are a couple of experienced players away from challenging Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Fantastic - our midfield will be like night and day compared with last season. I doubt anyone can say that we haven't improved upon Hammil and Stevenson. Our defence already looks mended. Just one more striker.... ...and even then El Hass might just be our unknown secret weapon in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Delighted. Never imagined we'd have Gomis and the fresh Prince in our midfield this season. Experienced SPL cup winning players. A couple of players more should see us ok. Although, I feel that there will be players from the youth team, who are unknown to sone of us, that may break into the team like Nicholson did last season.

Keatings scored 18 for Hamilton last season. Carrick showed us at the end of last season that he can score a few. Paterson is a goal threat even from RB. We don't know about Hassnaoui yet. Walker, Nicholson will chip in with a few I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis2006 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Good signing but makes me wonder what our first choice midfield will look like? Robinson and Holt both play in CM so it looks like there will be good competition in there. Can only be a good thing I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted to mention him as he scored last week in the friendly. Hope he can kick on. We are a bit short of experience up front though which is my only concern.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 El Sid would have to be the main front man for me, if it's going to be a 1. Buaben won't bring goals, nor Gomis, nor Holt.

After a good start I'm losing patience. I hope this is not leveins idea of a forward area player Holt needs to add goals to his game if he wants to play the number 10 position. Him adding goals to his game could be the difference between him really making it in football (reaching the one of the top leagues In world) or settling for an English championship level. Paterson was quite prolific at the end of he season from right back. I think there is plenty goals in our team. Buaben and Gomis have been brought in to do the really dirty work which free'a our front 4 and full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonshrew Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think goals from around the park has been a problem for us for years. The likes of Holt, Walker, Nicholson, Smith, Robinson and now Buaben and Gomis need to chip in. If they scored 1 or 2 last year they need to look to 4 or 5. If none last year then look for 1-2.

DG_HMFC Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 He will prove to be a very good signing. He is only 26, his best years are ahead of him, and for him to be given a big chance at a club like ours to form that partnership he had with Gomis at Dundee Utd, fills me with optimism. Our team is shaping up nicely, a couple more additions maybe? Definitely need another GK. Welcome to Heart of Midlothian, Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
