Ivan Drago Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 FWIW he was in corporate hospitality the season before the one just past and he was at a table near me. Dunno if that makes any difference but it may just be he has contacts/friends at Tynie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Wooks Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'd play him alongside Berra. Has been man of match consistently since he has been at the pars and if i remeber right when he was at Portsmouth he was MOM 5 out of the 7 games he was down there! an issue over money was the reason he didnt sign for them!

Guest jackdaddy2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'd play him alongside Berra. By the F@*king way! That would be a good signing, and hopefully will see Zaliukas put down or sold to Pedigree Chum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get taken to the cleaners by even the most ordinary of SPL players (as he did the last time he played in the SPL) We need someone as good as, if not better than Berra.

I cant believe Ive now posted twice on the subject of whether Scott Wilson is good enough for Hearts. Like there is any arguement about it. Couldn't disagree more. I would rather have a new Pressley (one who didn't betray the fans), but its not gonna happen, lets face it. I think Berra and the whole defence would play better with Scott Wilson in it, than it currently does/has. Karipidis and Zaliukas are murder. You have obviously just got used to them and Hearts having them as defenders as ok. Compared to every central defence we have had for at least 15 years, (apart from temp blips) they are the weakest, and shouldn't partner Berra.

Pressley was dense, but loads of fans worship him, even though he is a traitor. We signed Pressley from a very bad Dundee United side after he had failed to succeed in England.

Well I think we are both agreed on the single item that we need a new centre half. But to improve the team we'd have to be looking at people like Russell Anderson or the laddie Reynolds at Motherwell. Not some 31 year old who failed at Rangers almost 8 years ago and wouldnt get a game for any of the other teams in next seasons SPL, far less Hearts. In fact I'd rather have the old Pressley (Hearts legend) than Scott Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 You could argue Pressley failed at Rangers! Yes you could, but you could not apply the same arguement to his time at Hearts. Wilsons' career path after Rangers was 5 games at Portsmouth followed by 6 years of mediocrity at Dunfermline. Pressley's career path after Rangers included becoming the most capped Hearts player EVER There is nothing about this player to suggest that he could even be cover at centre half for Hearts. I could maybe understand your enthusiasm for him if he'd spent the last six years at Aberdeen or Inverness or somewhere like that, but he's been at Dunfermline FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackdaddy2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Nah, Captain? Steady, I liked the idea for 2 reasons - Cheap experience to partner Berra without stepping on his toes. Decent cover if we do actually get our proper Berra partner, and as a bonus would get rid of Zaliukas, and maybe open up the right back slot for Karipidis to try? I am not saying he is the answer to our problems, but he is a good signing in my opinion, the Hibs fan thing doesn't worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley_ Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Some threads on here are hard to believe. Why should we go for a 31 year old defender from a First Division club when we could get a younger player who is a good prospect for the future? I would take an older defender if they have been playing consistently at a good level and could improve our team for a couple of years. I would not take a Dunfermline defender who has just helped his side to 5th place in the First Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jackdaddy2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 How exactly? "And our defence last season was a whole lot better than people think" Sounds like you are acknowledging people think our defence was poor, but they are wrong because you think so. Delusional was a bit strong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
