jamboinglasgow Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 If he is coming then its an interesting signing, seems to have interested a lot of good clubs but still very raw. One thing to bare in mind is that he has not had a pre-season at a club so may take a few weeks to get up to speed before playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 We have absolutely no idea if he’s even in Edinburgh never mind if he had a medical, however I’ll choose to believe the poster. Being a pessimist I’ll also believe the omission of who the medical was for will mean he’s signing for Hibs, which wouldn’t affect us much but would add talent to their squad in an area they’ve drastically reduced in quality since last season. Would love him to join us as you can’t have too many with supposed bags of potential, but I’ve just got a niggly feeling he’ll sign for them.

mitch41 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Getting back to Sean Clare i'd say that you can never have enough good players in the squad. As an ex manager i always wanted a squad of players that were good enough to challenge and keep that first team position. Competition is what a strong squad is and that's what Hearts need to be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I randomly woke up yesterday morning after a Hearts related dream and googled this guy's name for some reason. He still hadn't signed for anyone and there was no recent speculation on where he was going. Not sure why but I think this guy will be prove to be a great signing if we get it over the line. The vermin and their "scattergun signing policy" talk just looks even more stupid when piece after piece of the puzzle slots into place. A quality right sided wing back is exactly what we need. I'm guessing that we might be investing some of the Lafferty cash on this guy now that we don't need to spend it on springing Vanecek from Teplice. Great news if it's true.

Phage Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Id welcome him although know nothing about him.

He decided not to sign a new contract. English teams would have to pay a development fee but we don't. We might throw him a decent signing on fee so we might just be a good option for him.

Seymour M Hersh Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 10 hours ago, Debut 4 said: I’ll be honest and say I’ve never been a big fan but he’s been steady enough. However, I think he showed his weakness against St Mirren at the equaliser. If we are to keep moving forward I think we need to improve that side of the park, both defensively and going forward as we are seeing on our left side. Even if we don’t sign anyone I think in time Godhino and even Brandon will offer more. Tbf Naisy kind of got in his way at that goal when he went steaming in. He was skinned earlier but it didn't happen again after that. He's a solid player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootzilla Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Say he is signed for the equivalent of Mitchell's role but for the right - what would be our best starting 11? We'd definitely have good options off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we fit all our players into a formation, I've no idea but it's a good headache for Craig. Maybe: Bobby Smith Souttar Berra Garuccio Lee Djoum Clare Naismith Mitchell Vanecek/Uche I should add that I'm sceptical we will sign Clare so that would probably change my team above.

Famous 1874 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I reckon our strongest eleven would be this (includes Vanecek who joins in January and the assumption that Sean Clare signs) Bobby Smith Souttar Berra Clare Haring Lee Mitchell Naismith Vanecek Uche Then the likes of MacLean (who can start until Vanecek comes in), Wighton, Djoum, Bozanic, Morrison, Cochrane, McDonald, Garuccio, Dikamona, Dunne, Hughes, Doyle can make up the bench Plus Godinho and Brandon when they return from injury Then Mulraney and Amankwaa who are perhaps a bit below the required standard at the moment.

Probably either Lee or Djoum dropping out of the midfield for him, depending on who was in better form at the time.
