Musemic Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 We're listening to offers for Kitchen apparently, so if the price is right he'll be away. Which is fine - he arrived at Hearts with the intention of getting a bit of the spotlight to attract a move to England, and with 2 years left on his contract, he could bring us in a wee bit cash, hopefully. If there are English Championship clubs after him I hope the offers are in excess of ?1m. He's under contract until June 2018 so there's no need to let him go for a few hundred ?K at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's revealing that Cathro turned to Nowak to play anchor role within 3 games having not played a single minute under Neilson. I believe it suits both Kitchen and Hearts for a move to happen this month. Cathro seemingly is happy for him to move. A reasonable fee is likely as he has 18 months remaining. Six months of indifferent displays in a position he isn't comfortable in, or sidelined isn't in either parties interests Nowak was outstanding against Killie playing in the middle of the park - still baffled why Cathro moved him to Centre Back in that shambles against Aberdeen.

He started at CB against Killy but the nature of the game allowed him to move into midfield a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132goals1958 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 No problem with ambition but maybe start keeping it to themselves instead of being so public about it and talking at length. It is becoming irritating and it never used to bother me really. When this attitude is widely spread, and quite openly and regularly, I sometimes think it's too much in the players heads about what's in the future for them and possibly a bit more commitment diminishes. We aren't a halfway house for players to come and play a few decent games then think they are ready to jump. Some actually get ahead of themselves too. I agree, as I have no problem in players aspiring to a higher level and hopefully earning us some money. A little bit of realism would not go amiss and in this instance a comment along the lines of " I need to consolidate my position step up a gear and hopefully prove that I can earn a lucrative move in the future.

Coco Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Rherras has the physical gifts but his ability on the ball and positioning is miles away from English top league level. He's been kept out of the side by a youth right back recently! He is the sort of player who should be able to be developed. The new management team have a lot of work to do to kickstart that process.

I kind of agree, but the club itself market itself as a stepping stone to better leagues, when trying to sign players. Unfortunately, so far, most of the ones we have signed haven't a hope in hell of achieving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Henry Furst Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It seems to have taken Cathro 90 mins at Ibrox to suss him out. Often caught out of position, weak in the tackle and poor in the air. That we've signed the boy from Hamilton speaks volumes. He'll never play for a bigger club than Hearts.

He was tragic at ibrox and the fact that Liam Smith was arguably hung out to dry at left back subsequently whilst Rherras was fit enough to be on the bench says much about Cathro's first and possibly lasting impression of Rherras.

stotty Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 No problem with players being ambitious, in fact I'm all for it.

Captain Bubblebeard Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The article says he would like to play at the highest level in England, ask every single player in Scotland and they'll say the same.

Captain Bubblebeard Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'd rather have players who want to play in Europe's top leagues than ones who see the SPL as the limit of their ambitions (like Scott Brown for example).

hisnameis Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 This crops up every few months. Player asked would you like to play in the English Premiership or what are your aspirations. The difference seems to be that if he is one of ours it is headlined and highlighted. Any player in Scotland would always answer in the same way. In his case he may have Sussed his time at Tynie is drawing to a close and is trying to issue a come and get me to drum up some interest.

Players who have no ambition to move on from the SPL will not improve by playing the likes of Hamilton, ICT, Ross Co etc etc three times every season. I disagree - as much as Scott brown comes across as not the nicest of people, he is a fans favourite and gives his all for Celtic! Would much rather have players who want to play for hearts and not be bothered about moving on a year later - and are more loyal to the fans who ultimately pay their wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartmussel Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Rherras was not offered a new deal with Sint-Truiden after some poor displays in his final year with the club.We have cluttered up our squad with some bang average players,hopefully now with some sensible recruitment we can progress.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 If him and Kitchen do go (as Spencer says) then we really need to pull out a few signings this month.

rick witter Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I've got absolutely no issues with our players having ambitions of playing at the highest level, I would expect that to be honest, but I have to say it does really piss me off every time I hear one of our players talking about it to the media. Especially after only being with us for half a season, in Rherras' case, and especially to that rag of a paper! Imagine we walked around our work saying that our dream was to move on to bigger and better things... we all think it but doesn't mean we have to make sure that everyone is fully aware. A simple "I'd rather not talk about playing in England as right now I'm fully focused on Hearts" would be nice to hear rather than hearing of their dreams for EPL stardom. Absolutely spot on mate. Djoum done it earlier in the season aswell. I have no issue whatsoever with players wanting to play at the highest level but they need to get there head out the clouds and start putting in consistantly good performances for hearts first and foremost. From what I've seen from Rherras so far he won't be playing premiership football any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick witter Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 We love slagging off our own players, eh? I think we basically just want them to start getting consistent at this level mate before going on about playing at a level that is 10 times better than the one they are currently struggling at. Not so much as slagging them off. In Rherras case I thought when I first seen him in the early European games he was going to be an excellent player but he has disappointed this season.

LogicalEric Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Good luck to him. To be honest if he was to turn round and say "My ambition is to stay at Hearts for the next 10-12 years" I'd be worried.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It was an interview, in French, in a Belgian newspaper which the DR picked up on and added their own twist (blow to hearts) to. No problem with anything Rherras said in it. As far as his ability is concerned that second goal at Ibrox where we let a long throw bounce in our box was as shambolic a piece of defending as I've seen in years. So he has a lot of improvement to make although he can look decent going forward. Still think the defence is struggling to adapt to the presence of Souttar though.

Mcalford Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like ambition as much as the next person but I wish some of these players would just do their talking on the pitch and then if they are good enough they will get interest, fed up with players saying I want to move to England when they have first signed or 6 months down the line, fwiw I don't really rate him, he cost that winning goal V Celtic by getting dragged out of position and left Sinclair with a free run on goal, however I will sat he is a RB and not a LB so if he gets a chance at RB then hopefully he can prove to be a good signing, I feel he has bought a little bit of time purely because of the fact he is a massive upgrade on Oshiwana.
