Yoda Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If his recent one-on-one with the Rangers keeper is anything to go by, then no. However, in Robbie we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 People will tell you he's not good enough based on the 2-3 times they may have seen him but over the course of the season he has outscored any of our players in the league. He is a good player and if he can make the step up he will be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Ga Ga Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If his recent one-on-one with the Rangers keeper is anything to go by, then no. However, in Robbie we trust. And he's the only striker to miss a 1-2-1 right enough, I've seen Ronaldo and Messi miss 1-2-1's their then a no from me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god no-one here saw it, or we might have had a thread giving reasons on why we should not sign him. Personally, I have not seen enough of him, or know enough about him, to make a proper judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 This is a question not a criticism, but is he any better a player than Keatings. I ask because, like most on here, I've only seen him play 4 times and to be honest I don't pay a great deal of attention to opposition players so I'm not in a position to judge.

Captain Canada Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If it's true then I don't see the point. I'd rather Carrick, Keatings or Oliver were played and developed as they all have potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like RN & CL believe Reilly may have greater potential Unfortunately I believe Carricks injury has set his career backwards and this season is definetley make or break for the lad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guess The Crowd Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Can't see this being true tbh. Time will tell, but this guy's generally quite well-informed. He also thinks the lad McShane from QOS is heading for Ross County - I was very impressed with him at Tynecastle pre-Christmas, albeit Hearts eventually won 4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He's certainly well regarded and seemed to be playing well, up until he playoffs at least. Can't see him being on an exorbitant wage either so not a huge gamble all things considered. As has been mentioned previously, Levein has a good eye for diamonds in lesser teams so I suspect Reilly will come good if given time by a patient support.

Malcolm Tucker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 My thoughts on this are that Robbie and Levein don't believe Keatings can improve beyond his current level, however they see a longer-term project with Reilly. I'm a huge fan of Keatings but I'll be inclined to trust the management team as they've given me no reason as of yet to question their decision making.

blairdin Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I like Keatings, but what has he done to be elevated by some into some untouchable cult hero? His desire and workrate can't be faulted. But to me he can be a selfish player opting too often to go alone, and doesn't have the goals to shots ratio to justify this. If Reilly comes it's because the coaching staff think he can add something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo191 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Robbie said he will only bring in better than what we already have. Is this lad better? I don't think so. But then again I'm not the manager so what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I would say that we seem to want more options in attack than elsewhere in team. We had Carrick, Sow as first choice at start of season backed up by Keatings, El Hassnaoui, Oliver. And then we signed Zeefuik as a different option. Fair enough injuries messed up choices for most of season. I'm guessing we'll be signing another striker as well as Reilly so I can see how Keatings has been told he might struggle to get games.

upgotheheads Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I saw QOS 4 times last season and the player who caught my eye was Kevin Holt. On the evidence of the Rangers games I didn't see anything special from Reilly, but on the other hand I'm sure that if CL/RN think he's a decent payer then he probably is. When he made an a**e of the chance against Sevco I thought bad luck, but maybe a career defining moment. I'd be delighted to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Zeefuik is away and Holt is away. Sow and Carrick are injury prone, Keatings is injury prone and possibly away. Oliver is not ready and likely to go out on loan. There is no doubt we need another forward player who can also play wide or in support. Providing goals from more than one area of the pitch is important to any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Stevie Crawford once scored over 20 goals for Dumfermline in a season but I personally thought he was generally average and wouldn't have touched him. I'm not saying Reilly is average but those getting carried away with his scoring exploits have to look much deeper at a player as I'm sure our scouts do. Playing for Hearts brings a totally different challenge than playing for Qos. If you look at the standard of striker we had last season we had player who had pace, could hold the ball up well, link play and of course score. But also playing to a high level as teams raised their game against us which we had to overcome. Every signing is a gamble and some players deserve a chance to step up but I'd hope our level of judgement is high in that we see players first and foremost have room the to improve and can contribute to our requirements.
