Mate, was just about to start a thread on the same thing about the likes of the young lads. If Frail wants to be taken seriously, he needs to bleed in Templeton, McGowan and Visconte as soon as possible. Templeton would give us so much more attacking options than Miko down the right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - we've got young players with potential out there who I feel would have more fight and determination than some of our current first team squad. Give them a chance to prove themselves - after all, we've not got much to lose at this stage now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Muller Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 maybe thats why Templeton is having the experience of playing week in week out just now for Raith and he'll come back to Hearts and feature in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping thats is now the case with Frail now 'Picking' the team. If at least some of the youth dont make it through to the starting line up this season, they never will. IMO Temps, Rocky, Gowzer, Husband, Branny would all improve the current 1st team squad at the moment, and I'd probably chuck in a few more players into that mix.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Without doubt, we should be giving the likes of Templeton a chance. He has gone out on loan and is showing he knows where the back of the net is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has gone out on loan and is showing he knows where the back of the net is. Thing is, we signed him as a striker JR, and have deployed him out in a wide right position since he came here I actually think he's done well out wide right though, and if it was a choice between him and Miko, errrrm, let me think.

I'll say it again, I watched Arsenal's reserves take on blackburn in the cup and they had a young lad who looked like templeton, playing out wide and he had no problem aginst one of the hardest teams in the premiership...

The Brow Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 And for the folk that say there too small.We tricky wingers win alot more fouls. The one thing i hate about british footy is the reliance on big players. You see it every time you watch school footy. The massive boys are regarded as the best players, hence the fact that the british international teams are fairly guff and get shown up playing against teams who regard technique as more useful. some examples are..... wright-phillips, messi, cannovaro (sp?), puyol. Just cos your big doesnt mean your good! Just wish someone would tell Vlad, might mean he stops signing carthorses up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach there will always be something. When I was calling for this last season, it was because we were still chasing a European place. The way I see it mate, the dross that we are currently playing have got us in this mess, and I genuinely believe 3 or 4 of our youngsters would improve our team beyond recognition. Now I agree that it would be folly to put out 3 or 4 in the same game, but what would be the harm in dropping Miko for Templeton, or say Mickey Stewart for Husband.

Maybe just maybe though Frail has noticed he has done well and will put him on the bench at least.Better option than Miko,Iva,Benny,Elliot and dare i say it Chesney(away from home).At least he has done something on loan unlike Elliot and Mole.In saying that i would like Mole to get some reserve games under his belt.He looked our best prospect in the reserves so i would not give up on him yet.

Sconnie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You get 16 year olds making there debut in the EPL, but you never see it in the SPL. Are they just not good enough? There are some players in our team that aren't going to break through, so why are they kept? I'll name two, Dennis McGlaughlin and Craig Sives.

It's probably because players would rather they bragged about playing for Hearts than Cowdenbeath. I'll tell you why they are kept Sconnie and it's pretty simple - The club can't afford to pay them off. The reason being that the daftys that are in charge of our club ie Pedro (Ronaldo will one day sign for us) Lopez, decided 2 years ago that every player under the age of 21, regardless of abilty deserved to, at least, be offered a FIVE, yes 5 year contract. so i'll tell you about the 2 lads you've mentioned above and this story applys to the majority of players aged 20-22 at the club right now... now Sconnie you're an 18/19 year old young professional footballer, you're too old to play for the under 19s and feel you're 1 or 2 places away from being in the starting 11 for the 1st team at Hearts and you're getting nowhere playing in meaningless reserve matches infront of 50 people and you decide that you want to play 1st team football. so you ask to go on loan, your request is accepted, however it has 1 condition - you can only go out on loan unless you sign a 5 year contract. What do you do Sconnie? do you say no, stay and play reserves for the last year of your contract and at the end of the season join 1000's of other young footballers on the scrapheap! or are you the guy who said yes i'll sign that 5 year deal and get 1st team experiance in the 1st/2nd/3rd division clear in your mind that you will be getting a wage every friday for the next 5 years! I honestly believe Sconnie that you would be that guy who signed the 5 year deal. So Sconnie, do you personally know Denis and Craig? I believe you probably don't, so don't come on JKB sayin *****e about them only staying at Hearts because they'd be embarresed about playing for Cowdenfeckinbeath and would rather brag to mates or birds in nightclubs about playing for Hearts. because untill there contract runs out or Hearts cough up THEY CAN'T GET AWAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adeb74 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Mate, was just about to start a thread on the same thing about the likes of the young lads. If Frail wants to be taken seriously, he needs to bleed in Templeton, McGowan and Visconte as soon as possible. Templeton would give us so much more attacking options than Miko down the right hand side. As Much as that would be the supporters "WANT or WISH" the fact that until we have exited this turmoil period at the club this idea could actuallt do more harm than good. There would be too much pressure on the youngsters to perform possibly at a level that they are not ready for. Can you imagine some of the youngsters getting the MIKO treatment? They would be on edge all the time and prob not play to their potential. The fact also that if Frail decides to play the youngster on saturday, the new manager (NOT HOLDING MY BREATH!!!) starts on the monday and the youngsters get punted back out the team! This would effect their moral. Also can you imagine in Templeton's situation of getting first team football all be it at a lower league club but all the same competative first team football, chucking it cause Frail calls him up to first team, New man comes in and finds himself back into non competative reserve team! Does the lad no favours! IMO if we can dig ourselves out this mess and at least be completely safe from relegation and when romanov announces that Frail has the job till the summer, this will be the time to get the youngsters in and at least start building for next season. The players coming in will have it all to play for and might even give this season's regular first team players a kick up the erse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nearly every team in the SPL has blooded youngsters and been successful at it. I'm certain we would give them the support they need. We understand football and would understand the situation they are in. I for one an sick of watching this sh*t. Saying that, our set up will probably turn them into amateurs, just like it has every other player we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that something must change and at the moment the convier belt of talent produced by our club seems to have jammed. Its obvious that the training is not working as certain players are coming over being unfit. The problem is here that something somewhere has to give but again blooding the youngsters at the moment is not the answer. Id rather hope that with the appointment of a new manager that the players would get an immidiate lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
