Jamboelite Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hmmmm this would be a big move on the back of Berra signing. I think Isma would work very well with Sow as Osman was capable of dragging defenders which would create space for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 How many goals did he score in China? I'm not sure he's been setting the heather on fire lately and he's quite similar in style to Johnsen.

It's more a target man/penalty box striker that we're needing. May be similar in style but is a lot better than Johnsen so surely if it was 1 or the other we would get rid of Johnsen and get Sow. FWIW I cant see it happening, he is on big bucks in China and has been loaned out and will be on the same wages in the UAE and playing so don't see what benefit it would have to him to come back.

It's more a target man/penalty box striker that we're needing. The guy is an absolute talent. It wasn't just his goalscoring for hearts that was brilliant. His all round ability and how he brought other players into the game was brilliant as well. Don't compare him to Johnsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 How many goals did he score in China? I'm not sure he's been setting the heather on fire lately and he's quite similar in style to Johnsen. It's more a target man/penalty box striker that we're needing. I agree in a way with what you're saying, but if you get the chance to sign someone of Sow's ability, you go for it. And there's more than one way to skin a cat. I always thought we were a better team when Sow played through the middle rather than from wide or deep (like Robbie often did with him for some reason). A bit like Isma, he won't stay central, he'll move defenders around. But having 2 up front who want to be mobile isn't an issue as long as they co-ordinate that. They're both good finishers and both one helluva handful physically and technically. It's be the best frontline out with Celtic imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Berra then Sow. It's almost as if someone's found a copy of the Gary Locke Guide to Scouting in a cupboard. They need to sign McGinn to prove me wrong. And by tomorrow the TRFC Guide to Scouting gcomes in to play. Rumour on Kickback Jambo's get excited.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Anyone who doesnt rate Sow either has their eyes painted on or they are suffering from acute memory loss.Absolutely. Things were going well when he left and have deteriorated ever since. I said then he was a one off and irreplaceable on our budget. He is the random factor that allows other players freedom. Taking him back along with a quality wide player would be very exciting. I have yet to hear of a proper midfield player. Thats the one I am watching for.

It's more a target man/penalty box striker that we're needing. Agree with this, we need someone who can give us more of a presence up front and be a focal point to bring others in. Needs to be able to take the chances we get in the box. I like big Osman, but he could blow hot and cold, and is not the striker we need at the moment.

Ferryjambo99 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sow and Reilly worked well as a combination due to reillys hard work pulling defenders away. Goncalves does all that abd more.

AmeriDan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 A drop off in overall team performances certainly coincided with the departure of Sow to China. He's never truly been replaced and it's completely evident. Not getting my hopes up, but If he were to return, that would give the team an immediate boost, as I'd imagine the threat posed by having in the Sow in the team would create a lot more space for the other attacking players (especially Isma).

Debut 4 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 If we get a striker better than Osman Sow I would be amazed. I would argue the opposite to be honest, he is exactly the type we need.While I wouldn't knock it, alot of fans are obsessed with finding a 20 goal a season forward. You look around and maybe see Boyce scoring 20 for RC but the expectation is different when these type of guys come to Hearts. Sow brought so much to our play which others benefited from. His ability to hold up the ball but also how he could turn his man and open up the game because of that. We may have Isma as a guy who could get to that elusive 20 mark if we build the team to complement him. Certainly you think of Sow's type of player being that missing link. But the way the game is played now with only one up it's hard for forwards if you don't get the chemistry right elsewhere in the team and the service isn't there.
