Regardless of whether the OP’s rumour is true or not, four players coming in is not an unrealistic number considering we have sent a few on loan, Lafferty is likely to go and we are light at CH due to Berra’s injury. We may also get rid of 1-2 others like Callachan/Martin which would free a wage. I would suggest nitpicking about the way the conversation started is more to the detriment of the quality of the discussion than the framing of the question, which has led to some good conversation.

Rudy T Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 We had a chance to get Shankland last year and walked away....said at the time we should've taken a punt.

Jammy T Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 There could be any one of a number of reasons for the Lafferty deal taking so long - Rangers being cheapskates being one But this will have suited Hearts, as in parallel we’ll have been starting and maybe sorting our follow up signings.

He's had a little game time and didn't really impress that much but its so little he cant be judged. Shankland's consistent goal scoring record, albeit at lower level, is worth a punt if the price is right. If we get him I'd put Keena out on loan for a bit.

smartin1987 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Liam boyce has scored 3 goals in 4 games this season but they are looking to bring in Darren bent on a pay for play deal so might open the door.and believe we where to close to signing boyce. before he opted for Burton albion last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
