Rudi Hates Hibees Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think we will make 4 more signings. 2 strikers, a winger and a centre half. At least I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boy_in_maroon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hearts are closing in on two more new signings as they attempt to add another striker and centre-back to their squad. Head coach Ian Cathro will take his number of new recruits to six before the January transfer window closes if negotiations reach a successful conclusion. He wants another forward to compete with Bjorn Johnsen and Conor Sammon up front, whilst extra experience in defence is also seen as a priority. Talks have taken place with prospective targets and Cathro told the Evening News that progress is being made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glastonbury jambo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hearts are closing in on two more new signings as they attempt to add another striker and centre-back to their squad. Head coach Ian Cathro will take his number of new recruits to six before the January transfer window closes if negotiations reach a successful conclusion. He wants another forward to compete with Bjorn Johnsen and Conor Sammon up front, whilst extra experience in defence is also seen as a priority. Talks have taken place with prospective targets and Cathro told the Evening News that progress is being made. ?We need to add that ?attacking option and we?ll look to bring in another option at centre-back. We need cover in those areas,? he explained. ?We?re quite far down the line with those things and once we?ve got everything done then the fans will be first to know. ?We need to do some things to make sure we?ve got the right options and balance across the squad. What we need to do over the next couple of days is see exactly what those will be. We have to be professional about making the right ?decisions.? Hearts face Raith Rovers at Tynecastle this evening in a Scottish Cup fourth round replay. Cathro admitted his players owe the fans a performance and result after Sunday?s 1-1 draw at Stark?s Park. ?We want the crowd to be with us. The more people who can come along the better because I think we owe them a little bit,? he said. ?We certainly feel that. ?We want their support and we want to give them the football and the win that they deserve. We can move forward together after that.? The 30-year-old is less than two months into his first managerial job but insists Hearts are already making progress. He conceded that improvement has yet to manifest itself in results on the park, with only one win in six games since he replaced Robbie Neilson. ?I see it every day. That?s one of the reasons why I feel the frustration 1000 times more,? he explained. ?I know what we are and where we will reach and I know everything will work. Nobody else does right now so what we need to do is talk less, show more.? He stressed that his post-match BBC television interview at Stark?s Park on Sunday was evidence of his frustration. ?I can?t even remember what I said or what the boy asked me. ?That?s a representation of being frustrated and upset. It?s easier for me to stay calm and focused because I know where we are going and I know we?ll be ready to do it. ?We?ve added players and we will improve and I?ll look to add more and improve again. I know these things. The frustration is we have passed another game where we have not given the fans reason to believe. ?That hurts all of us but that?s a sign we need to accept as part of our life. We are going ? we?re not sitting still. The disappointing part and the part that leaves me with a feeling of frustration is that we haven?t let others see it. ?People only see results and I know that only with them will come the belief from outside. That doesn?t mean that we haven?t been moving forward. You can?t move forward for a long time without winning ? we know that and that?s our job. It?s a gradual thing.?

glastonbury jambo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 "yep theres 2 strikers coming in and a creative midfielder....hopefully , talks are ongoing" That's what you said GJ. Unless you know more than Cathro's letting on? I'm only messing anyway, but I'd love it to be as you've said, though going by that interview, it's not what's coming in. At least there IS a striker due though. We all need a wee lift. wait and see {-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Being a glass half full guy the positive from one of IC other interviews is that these are signings he didn't think possible at start of window, not time is running out players may still want to get a move. Hopefully of the pedigree a bit above what we would normally get?

davie1980 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 A wife option would be good. By which you mean we need to sign a player with a top notch WAG? I agree fully! In fact I think all players should be scouted and vetted for the quality of the bursds.

Jambof3tornado Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The lift a new striker would add could be doubled by shipping Sammon. I've stood up for him but he really is mince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Behold the return of The Moose... Centre back and target man all in one! To be honest, such a signing would be OK.

Paolo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I believe, he's made it known he wants to stay and fight for his place. In other words, "**** ye, I'm happy taking the money here, ta." All our own doing. Maybe he's a bit more professional in his outlook than Juwon, and he does decide to go get some game time somewhere. Who'd want him though. Genuinely. Or he is happy to pick up a decent wage for very little. Not that I blame him. We offered him the contract, and as shit as he is, he is meeting the terms of it.

Paolo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Correct. It's our **** up, not his. However he should make up his lack of ability with effort on the park.Fair point. Unfortunately, jogging about for a few minutes, and crouching when trying to head the ball is still probably meeting the terms of the contract.

Finlay James Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 New faces are always welcome, but the bit in bold above gives me more hope than anything else he says. Indeed. To be fair to him, the media have been all us since he became our head coach and they have psychanalysed every single word. A few wins and they will leave him alone, at least until we start to threaten the old firm. I really like Cathro and couldn't care less how he comes across because the players certainly seem to be taking to him and that's all that matters.
