Agreed, we should wait until he's played at least 12 What I would say though is that I can't think of many midfielders who have had such an impact. Thinking back to favourites like Cameron, Hartley and Fulton all took a wee while to really become fans favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only the five Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 A genuine question for everyone. Lets say Gomis becomes a league winner or scottish cup winner with us in the near future could it help him be put in that bracket of one of our best or up there with them. Like he stays with us 4-5 years we win a scottish cup and people look back on " i that margaro gomis was some player scottish cup winner etc etc "Or do we just appreciate the type of player weve got here whatever happens? For what its worth i think hes a great player and could prove to be our top signing this season. Lost count the amount of games ive came from and thought gomis was a standout.

queensferryjambo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Great player at this level. No point in getting carried away though. Should have more shots at goal - he has the ability to hit good long range shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambosammy Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I don't think we would be where we are if it wasn't for gomis and bauben. They make it look more exciting and have more class than most of the players in our league. They work incredibly well together and it will be partly down to these guys for us going back up.

Feckin love them! agree bud, I suppose they've already proved themselves previously at Utd but when they've both had spells out of the picture , I suppose they are proving themselves all over again. They've certainly contributed greatly in a short time already at Hearts and are hugely influential. I only hope it continues and more once we return to the Spl.

Was it the mazy dribbling, range of spectacular passing, explosive burst of pace, reliable goalscoring or box to box dynamism that made him complete for you?

Allowayjambo1874 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Boy just oozes class. Is he one of the best central midfielders we've had at the famous? On a side note how couldn't he get a game at the Dundee Hibernians???? I know this might sound daft but Gomis and Bauben seemed to have played their best football when they have played alongside each other. Both went south from Dundee Utd to Birmingham & Watford respectively, probably on very good money and their careers seem to have gone steadily down since then. Bauben played for Partick last season and I cannot recall anyone raving about him at the time. Being reunited and playing at a lower level seems to have revitalized them and the confidence is now flowing through them and it is showing in their performances. No-one can say after 10 games that Gomis is one of the best but if his performances remain at this standard when we start playing against better teams and he helps us to win things then he may be one helluva good signing. Wonder how he will perform if Bauben leaves at end of season (only got him on a one year contract). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 There is no doubt that both Gomis and Prince are way beyond Championship class and we are fortunate to have an established pairing like that in our team. We need to see what Gomis can do for us in the top flight before making a judgement of where he sits in the all timers list. What he does have is superb attitude, commitment and sheer professionalism, on top of his ability, and I have no doubt he has what it takes to eventually earn his place amongst our legends if he continues to do the business over the coming seasons. For what it's worth, he's my player of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young to have seen Dave Mackay, but by all accounts he played the MacFarlane role (if that's not an anachronism given tactical differences etc) brilliantly. Can't compare the two, but what's beyond doubt is that both are club legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Are we talking compete midfielders or club legends here? Frankly, MacFarlane was neither, he was a limited but enthusiastic footballer. He knew his limitations, played within them and did his job well. I personally liked him a lot but it's absurd to say he's a complete midfielder or a club legend imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowestjambo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I dont recall him ever being a real stand out when playing against us. However, I cannot recall us ever having a player that manages to "pickpocket" the ball away from other players. Winning the ball half way up the park has helped us enormously this season. Contrast that to last year where we barely managed a tackle in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
