grumpyespana Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think the biggest problem for our strikers is the service they received last season as for Sammon who can say if he would be a success or not but the key here is he knows the league so should be up to scratch straight away.

Jammy T Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Was totally baffled this guy got a move to the EPL. If he'd ripped it up here and got a move south, failed and we were interested it would be fair enough. But as I see it he was average up here and never deserved the move south in the first place.

Greedy_Jambo Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I wanted him at Hearts before he left Kilmarnock but English clubs came in for him. He went for ?600,000 then ?1.2m to derby.

Hendricks Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The argument that just because a player went south and made little impression is not one that means they wouldn't for us especially given the standard of our league and the fact we are a big fish in it. Players fail at a certain club for many reasons. Probably the two biggest Hearts legends of the last 30 years, Robbo and Rudi had very unconvincing and largely disappointing spells down south. With regard someone like Salmon there is little to lose and plenty to gain IF he is being seen as an addition to the squad rather than a first team starter from day 1. We need a number of players, as some have said at least 2 new strikers. He is free and won't want a lot so if he's the 2nd of those and we have a main striker signing to come then who knows it could work out well. From what I know he has a good attitude so let's not write him off immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously do, and it seems (IF this rumour was true) he has been recommended). I hate to harp back to older players.....was Paul Hartley greeted with fireworks when we signed him, turned out alright...and there are many many more too. I personally have no input in who comes to the club like 99.9% folk on here, so with that we just have to support anyone who joins surely - its the way I will always be as a supporter of Hearts!

Raymond Reddington Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 He played well for the killie side that played from the back (under mixu) he can play in the 1 striker role.

Drobbo Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 When he first went to Wigan it looked as if he might have something; the sort of player that might well come good if he had somebody to help him develop. That didn't happen at Wigan or anywhere else he's been. It's difficult to call on this one. He may find the net easier to find but it's not a signing that is going to set the pulse racing.

Harvey Specter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It was. Much better. In the SPL it really wasn't. Adam Rooney played 68 SPL games for Inverness and scored 20 goals. Conor Sammon played 65 SPL games for Kilmarnock and scored 17 goals. Almost identical records. Rooney's highest scoring season came in the first division and those goals give him the edge stats wise over Sammon but within the same division there's nothing in it.

Gigolo-Aunt Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 When at Killie he seemed to grown in to the roll and earned a move down South to a very decent level. Never quite happened in England but again he has been given game time in a division (without a great return) at Derby. You would think Sheffield United would have been a good place to get a few goals and build his name up a bit as League One is not the best of standards. Never worked out though. If there is something in this, a concern would be its a few years since his best form but if the wages are right its certainly an improvement on Reilly and there is nothing to say that we would stop art bringing in another striker (we need 2 at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bubblebeard Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Not sure if anyone remembers his fairwell game for Killie against us where he came on as a sub, tried to act like a billy big baws and swaggered about the pitch, but generally looking utterly shite. I seem to remember him attempting a couple of fancy flicks/turns and him falling over the ball in one of them. He never particularly impressed me in the (admittedly very few) other games I saw him play. I remember having a chuckle and being quite shocked at him getting a move to a then EPL side.
