Bazzas right boot Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Better players will hold on until the last week. Hearts really don't have any control over that. So you can take a shite player for the sake of 4 games or wait and maybe get a quality player for 2 years. Nah, better panicking and getting the first player available. Recruitment has been sound this window. The panickers Should really wait until the window closes before thrashing about and moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimosavi Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hearts should take a look at Josh Morris from Scunthorpe plays left or central midfield and is valued at 400k 25 year old and has his best years ahead 28 goals in 124 games so 1 in 4 roughly he isn't defensive enough and nor a free agent rules us out Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Missed if already posted but here's Fowler on who's unsigned in Scotland right now. Sibbald seems the one worth the most discussion for us.

269miles Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 But season has already started We've known about the keeper issue for months!! No excuses to not have someone in by the Celtic game We don't have enough money to attract anyone decent at this time of the window. It'll be last minute stuff.

droid Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 6 months we've needed a midfielder - confidence level high of fixing it in these 5 weeks ?? Last 16 match in the league cup (likely to be against a decent side as we'll probably be unseeded) less than 2 weeks away ..... 6 months?? We've never replaced Hartley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Buaben is a terrier, we are needing another one away from home though A terrier? He's a slow, ponderous waste of space.

JamboJen Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 A new creative Midfielder: is that not what Martin was signed for and meant to be? Tbh I actually think Martin had a role to play and I'd be starting him on Saturday, but if he's going to remain second choice behind Cowie/change then we definitely need a creative midfielder.

Aye, ?250k is incredibly steep for a Scottish championship player. I'd hope Houston and Levein could maybe meet in the middle. He seems a decent player that could be excellent as a project.

That in itself brings an expectation.. There is no way the football department is going to escape criticism.. This. With all the contributions there is an expectation of better communication with the fans. Losing to Peterhead isn't good enough and doesn't bode well for the new season. The result midweek was the tipping point for me as I've kept quiet and wanted to give Cathro a chance but getting beaten by Peterhead so close to the new league season is very telling. It has set off alarm bells that the relegation form from last season will continue and some fans are just not going to sit back and tolerate it.
