Jamboelite Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 His ability to adapt to the pace of the game in Scotland will dictate if he is going to be a success with us but his obvious football intelligence should cover some of that lack of pace..

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Any chance of Struna playing against Scotland? Quite possibly, he was a regular before his deal fell through in the summer. If these guys A Get their international games B Improve over the next few weeks Puts us in a better position for next season. Interesting period coming up prior to the split. I think more revealing than after the split, when I think things could be less intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby8 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 To think that some 'experts' on here don't rate him. They wouldn't know a good footballer if one appeared out of their arse. No doubt at all that most of our new imports have bags of skill. It will take some of them time though to fully acclimatise to the pace of the Scottish game. Some guys will do it quicker than others. Rudi for example, pretty much hit the ground running. Tziolis is a class act. He should be up to speed by the end of the season. Lets hope if he is that we manage to keep hold of him.

maroonlegions Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 To think that some 'experts' on here don't rate him. They wouldn't know a good footballer if one appeared out of their arse. He was very good against Hamilton, playing him a bit further up the park could be the answer to our lack of bite in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I rate him, there's no doubt there's a class act in that player, but he's been absolutely shocking for us (apart from v Hamilton). If he keeps the faster speed of play up then he'll be very important player for us ... pity it's 4 weeks too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the fixtures coming up are the most important, yes hibs but that's done. If we continue to improve we will take 3rd no bother.

colinmaroon Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 How do you reconcile that with his performances outside of the rangers second half and Hamilton? He must have been going through the motions or not trying? Easily! He was an unknown factor and is now singled out for tight treatment. Took a game or two to adjust but is now showing that he can handle the pressure, as per v Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddyJambo Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Don't buy it. He hid in a few games instead of looking to get on the ball and dictate. I think he's obviously got talent but serious doubts over his application. Don't forget he turned up in Scotland on a free in January so something is not quite right.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Signed and was wanked over before he barely kicked a ball. Was then written off for slowing down play and not scoring or assisting. Played half decent the other week and is suddenly the international footballer we all knew he would be. Kickback lyf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Before the cup tie you could not say a bad word about any of our signings without posters telling you they knew better. He was a free transfer and what should have been asked is why as well as one or two others we signed but many on here were so desperate for change they told us all how good each and everyone of them was when it was patently not true He is 32 and still looking for a longer term deal.........I'll be happy to wait until the end of the season and see if he's worth another year as I would for the vast majority of the winter signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate you might not have seen him in the flesh so difficult to have a valid opinion. Seen in the flesh? Not sure what you mean. As a subscriber to Hearts World and Fox Soccer Plus here in the States, I see quite a lot of him, and other players. Does that count? I fail to see why people bring up geography here while talking about one's ability to comment on Hearts or a particular player. I think whether I'm at Tynecastle, in an Edinburgh boozer or 3500 miles away doesn't make an iota of difference. I'm seeing the same guy do the same things. I did indeed have a low post count at one time, but I do recall not using them to be a negative **** at every opportunity. Tziolis is a fantastic football player. To claim otherwise is nonsense. Whether we have seen the best of him, or ever will is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Scotland, eh (joke!) A guy has 62 caps for a country far better than ours, has obvious class, yet some doubt his ability to adapt to the pace of the Scottish kick and rush game! Don't make me laugh. Get him signed up and build a team round him. Then, mark my words, Hearts will be playing good football and winning regularly.
