jambo191 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looked a real threat today against Celtic. His pace, and direct approach, constantly taking on defenders was a joy to watch. Are we seriously in for this guy? If that's the standard we are trying to get, then in Robbie/Craig I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Did look ok. The lad Raven has always looked decent at right back whilst Warren and Meekings have always defended as what I'd describe as proper centre halves. Draper has always looked ok to me in midfield too. ICT have a few players who'd add something to our squad imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccarton3 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Some real honest pros in ICT ranks. Players with character you could rely on when the chips are down. Watkins would be a real good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboscanbevicius Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 ICT are a very good side. Good movement, crisp passing and comfortable on the ball. Watched them a few weeks ago and Watkins was the pick of the bunch. The young lad Christie has a big future too. Would be delighted with either of these boys. Shinnie is excellent too and will be a good signing for Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit of smoke and mirrors but did Robbie effectively rule out signing anyone currently playing in Scotland due to the price - I think he highlight DUFC having to pay ?200k for Charlie Telfer.

If they are U24 and have been offerd terms by their present club a development fee is due - which is what happened with Telfer. Does that not only apply to their first club? ie. the one that actually developed them? Watkins has been at two clubs sine Cheltenham. I don't think we'd be due them much, if any of a development fee. I'd be pleased if we got him though. I take it the Higginbotham rumour didn't have any legs? I see he's top of the assists charts for the SPL. I've said for a while we could do with another wide player to ease the strain on Walker, King and Nicholson. If one of them gets injured two isn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not something like, they have to have been with the club for five years between 14 and 24? I made that up, but it's a similar principle.

LarrysRightFoot Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Not if they are out of contract.True - there will be a fee if they have developed them though and are under 24. I would think most of the players we would look at in Scotland would be around this age. His point I think related to this - that the players we would be interested in would command a fee and paying ?200k for Charlie Telfer is a risk our current finances couldn't allow. Basically we are looking for the best players for the best value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to pay anything other than the odd nominal fee, if that. Don't get the apprehension either. We know that league. Yes we'll not win every week and we'll drop points to St Johnstone etc but as a Hearts fan of more than one season surely that's not going to be a surprise.

Debut 4 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Always thought Ross looked handy, always seemed a thorn in our side anyway but he shouldn't be judged on that alone.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Shinnie is a very good left back at SPL level. Thought he looked ordinary until he was afforded huge amount of space in the second half. Can't say he's ever caught my eye.We can get better I'm sure.

KeithD Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 There are some fantastic players available throughout Europe on free transfers so I don't see why we should be looking at players like Watkins. Don't get me wrong, he is a handy wee player, but I think we can do better. I have watched Caley a fair bit this season and striker is not his first position. He runs a hell of a lot and is decent enough with the ball, but his finishing and striking instincts are actually pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
