Not sure if David Witteveen could lace his own boots.

then it's lucky he has chosen our league with it's lenient referees,at least to Hearts players then.

Regarding the step up its all about the player rather than the league they come from for me. Sometimes a lower league player has nothing to lose so maybe has less pressure stepping up. 

Of course it's about the player, players are only human at the end of the day, it's attitude and application which separates some from others. I hope he proves to be a good signing and can make the step up, but tbh, I was hoping for a someone from a much better level. I think that 3 at the back is the way forward and we needed a top drawer Centerback, of course this might be a cover signing who can improve over time, he might be good. It's

 

He seems quite aggressive anyway and recently we've had Avlonitis from Sturm Graz and Novak who've been a bit too soft to play in this league.

That's why Levein is signing him. He there to make the other signings look good.

[Clerry Jambo]

For a man that’s needs to improve the team big time to challenge top 4, he’s certainly banking on a lot of gambles. Personally would have liked to have seen players with a bit more depth in their CV, however hopefully levein can ram these thoughts back down my throat!!

This kind of signing to strengthen squad in my opinion rather than first 11 type signing

Hearts are hoping Peter Haring will be in Scotland within 24 hours as they consider signing the central defender from Austrian second-tier club Ried.

The 25-year-old had the worst disciplinary record in the Austrian Football Second League last season, picking up 15 yellow cards

Certainly is mate. Suspect there will be a few leaping to his defence if this becomes another season where we fail to meet minimum expectations.  

 

Not sure that we have signed anyone to date who would improve first 11. Squad has more depth but whether it has more quality very much remains to be seen

I agree although surely Lee must be an improvement on cowie and Callaghan

25% as good will do me. 20 years on and he still looked in good enough shape to play for us now judging by what I saw at EICC bash. Most under-rated footballer we have had in my 50 years of watching.

I get your point though first 11 probably played one game last season. Our squads lack of depth was a huge issue last season

I think it’s fair for Hearts fans to be more apprehensive.

 

Thats not being negative, we’re simply waiting to see if they'll(new, relatively unknown signings)

be good enough. 

 

People running to hail these signings solely to defend the boss, rather than simply trying to gauge the potential quality or influence these signings can have ,are being naive.  

 

You could argue proven signings can fail but in the first instance they immediately inspire more confidence for times ahead.

What would you say to the people who , seemingly , automatically slag off any new signing ?

My thoughts as well. Clearly is taking a risk with a few of these signings. However there are a few diamonds in the rough out there. That also means if these signings don’t work out then we are in a real mess. Hoping we get Mitchell, Naismith and Milinkovic back.

Still waiting on a signing that will give me hope for next season.

Pretty much this, and each signing we make seems to back up this argument. 

 

Positive about Lee, maybe Edwards, but not sure the rest are going to push us forward too much.

What? So we only sign known quantities from now on? Give Levein a chance to sign his own players.

[RS86]

CB needed depth, not improvement. Will be back up to Berra and John and probs behind Hughes too if he resigns. Giving a lad who they see as having potential the chance to step up and on I'd expect on a fairly low wage.

 

We could easily have looked for someone who was a known entity and maybe more likely to push for a first team place but wages will be better spent elsewhere IMO. I'd call it an astute signing, but no surprise to see folk moaning.

Don't get the connection unless we use him as a foreign scout.

I think we should sign people who have played for us before and people we can't afford.

Whos doing that?? From what I can see it’s between those criticising because of players backgrounds or that they haven’t heard of them vs those who just want to see what they’re like on the pitch. 

 

Apart from probably lee and burns, I don’t think anyone is hailing the signings.

I think most of a sensible disposition are waiting to have a look st these players before making any sort of informed judgement on their capabilities.

Some random from a pish league has worked out well before right enough.  Like the last polish huddy last year.   Levein has been at the club as the main guy the last four years.  The only unknown quantity defender bought in that time who was half good as big Ozturk.  The rest have been absolute pish.  Thank god Berra and Soapy where handed on a plate.

That describes a pretty big percentage of our players signed in the last 20 years

[jambo_No5]

Is anyone able to find the thread for when Milinkovic first signed? Bet he was wrote off before he'd kicked a ball

Grezlak was awful and Callachan hasn't been great. Levein has had 2 windows to sign his own players. If you can't accept that then there's no point talking. There's legitimate and very concerning reasons to doubt Levein like his total surrender to Rangers at Ibrox. Judging him on players he had little input in isn't one of them.

[Bring Back Paulo Sergio]

Levein has signed some crackers while manager. Milinkovic for instance. What a find!

[jamboinglasgow]

Am I right that someone is saying the second tier of Austrian football is rubbish because of one player who played in it and was last seen by any poster on here 8 years ago.

 

Loving the ignorance.

Scotland’s league setup is ranked 26th in the UEFA coefficient, Austria is 11th.

Most folk are willing to give the laddie and our other new signings a chance. From the Banderson article a few days ago it certainly seemed like Levein has done his homework on them. Time will tell.

To be fair, I think Levein is putting a squad together rather as opposed to going for a marquis type of player.

Kinda think the marquis players are already there. Lafferty & Berra. Maybe theres an expectation Naismith will join later in the window. Agree though, previous seasons we've not had a balanced squad and I think we're about to reap the benefits of having an experienced head running the team. I never felt that Neilson built a squad as player turnover was too high, and obviously cathro was just a cluster**** start to finish.
