What have I said in my last comment that is a problem? It is a direct quote from Craig Levein in answer to a quetion raised at the AGM. I am looking forward to seeing what standard of player we are goping to bring in now that we seem to have changed how we identify players we want to bring to the club. I agree that Berra, McLaughlin and Randall are all decent signings albeit that we may struggle to keep McLaughlin and Randall is obviously a loan player and will return to Liverpool presumably. I'm not sure when you became an expert at mind reading though when you are telling me what I would have said. One doesn't have to be an expert; your track record says it all. We will buy the best we can afford and like with all signings some will work out while others won't. I think you just like to keep the pot boiling...

tazhearts Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I only want Hearts to bring player's in who are going to improve our squad long term. If we can't find a suitable left back or winger in January then let's not bring in players just for the sake of it. I'd rather we kept giving the young boys a chance.

Johnny Two Pies Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Noring, Nowak, Grzelak and Smith-Brown should be moved on if possible. Walker too if we can get some money for him in January. I've seen suggestions that Isma and Martin might go, but I suspect they'll both be here at least until the summer. Wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the young players (maybe Henderson & Moore) are loaned out until the end of the season too, depending on who we can get. Of the players linked with us I'd like to see Russell and Byrne brought in, possibly O'Hara from Dundee. Know nothing about McLaren, suspect none of us do really. We could certainly use a goal scorer if that's what he is. Can't see the Naismith one materialising. I see Lewis MacLeod is fit again but not getting a game for Brentford, might be worth having for the rest of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 First and foremost we need to add pace, width and creativity to our midfield. We could also do with another striker, given we only have 3 options at the moment with Currie being out. I know there is a lot of calls to sign a left back, but I'd have this further down my priorities. We haven't had a left back all season, but we still have the second best defensive record in the league. We've only conceded 2 goals in our last 9 games and have had several different players covering left back during this spell. We need to add players who will improve our goal scoring performance. If that means we have to make do with makeshift left backs for a bit longer, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Doody Jambo Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 we need a natural goalscorer, the guy who can get 20+ a season, not since wee Robbo a left back and Temps would do nicely just quality that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are positions where we could be doing with a signing to improve the quality or add depth. On those front I'd agree with your comments. But we need a left back.

Need goals from other places, especially midfield. Too much on Lafferty and Even isma. V saints and hibs we had one real chance, that's shite. A pacey striking option would be good and I think we'll add to our options up top, however midfield and lb is priority. Agree, it's a huge window for us.

The lb situation needs sorted, moves continually break down because of the need to cut inside, our players are clearly not comfortable out there either. Having a big impact on going forward and creating. The lb situation has been a shambles due to bad recruitment and this year an injury which seems to have baffled the medical world. Needs sorted ASAP and is very much a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Earlier in the season I thought we needed maybe five players in but since we have rediscovered our bottle I think three quality recruits is probably enough at this point.

1971fozzy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 With Laffertys appeal likely to be declined , Isma out of form and Stockton not the answer, we desperately need a striker for the cup game. Panic or not it’s a game which is huge and defeat unthinkable. With 3 weeks rest (thank goodness for the winter break) we should have most players back from injury so I don’t think the January window is too important given our surprising upturn in form. The summer window may well provide better options in quality / value of player for us. i think a striker and a wide player would be enough to see us top 4. All depends who’s going as well though and could be players have already been identified. Interesting times ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacelsid Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We need a ball winning leader type in the midfield, Byrne looks like the type and has a good pedigree at an age with further improvement, Cowie and Prince are nearing the end of their Hearts careers. Also the overdue left back position needs resolving permanently. We also need some pace and mobility up front, especially when we are trying to counter-attack. With Walkers form and injuries I do not think we can expect a windfall, but we may be able to trade for say O'Halloran or Byrne. But Jamie could stay and return to the form he is capable of. We are still trying to repair expensive Cathro damage and need to be moving on players to bring players in. But three or four could make a big difference, and help our young players develop, our squad is stretched. This window used wisely can improve us so we can take on the teams above us with confidence, looking forward to see who comes in, Happy new year.
