rudi must stay Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'd expect him to sign for Rangers in honesty, the only club outwith Celtic who could get close to his wages. Obviously hope I am wrong as I think he'd be an excellent signing. Brings the experience that Souttar needs, whilst still being at a decent age. You would say the same about Tziolis though. Fair play to the board, they're really backing Ian Cathro right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggle1990 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nah. Can't agree. He's quick, solid and excellent in the air with plenty still to offer. I'm not getting my hopes up but if we could get him it would be massive. He's quick? Are you winding me up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 He's quick? Are you winding me up? His manager thinks he's quick and I think he may have seen him a tad more than you recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynecastlesmychurch Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think it's clear from everything that's been said that he wants to come back up to Scotland. The main reason because he wants to be closer to his daughter. I've heard his wages aren't exactly out of our reach around 7k. I reckon we'd probably offer him something like 4k? Obviously a drop yeah but it's not like he's going from 50k a week to 4k week. Its Ipswich he's at not Manchester United! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkirk_Jambo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 He is quick. Not the greatest acceleration but, when he gets going, he is fairly rapid. I can't see a downside for either party. Would be our best defender and he would be settled back with his family. Win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i wish jj was my dad Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 He's quick? Are you winding me up? You don't think he's quick? He's not the fastest at turning but by christ he can shift in a sprint.

NoSheight Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I know Craig Barr who is best pals with Christophe - his first choice is Rangers. Berra isn't great.

Surely Oshaniwa and with Paterson alongside Nicholson leaving, we will have some money to play with. I quite like Bauben at CH though. It's great to have him back in the team.

Managed to get Wolves relegated two years in a row and is the Scotland player with most goals conceded per cap in the history of the game. Not that it's really relevant to whether he's good enough for Hearts but that bit about goals per cap has to be utter nonsense. A quick Google shows Scotland have conceded 45 goals in his 35 caps, there will be players with much worse records than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 We are obviously relying on Ipswich/the Ipswich owner's goodwill here to let him leave on a free. In a business sense, it would be smarter for them to trigger the extra year meaning we would need to give them Paterson (a matter complicated by the fact CP might not want to go there) or someone else has to buy him. I'd still be pretty confident it will be resolved and he'll sign for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
