Morph Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Sow was class. If he is still as good as when he left he'd be a great addition to the squad. Would he be our main striker though? Or back up to uche + maclean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Naismith could well be the only player under 6 foot. I want to bully teams so much that we can pay the stand off single handedly with Hibs lunch money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboscanbevicius Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Not going to repeat what others have said on fitness, but this is potentially a terrific move. A fans favourite. Still only 28.

I miss gomis, did so much in that midfield, didn't mind prince but never understood why we kept him and not gomis. I also think pallardo would suit our current team, fantastic footballing deep lying player, the kind we need. Also, how much Billy King added to that team, honestly forgot that. And that strip!!!! Sow, I would say, is a far better all round player than lafferty and will add far more to the team......if fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It’s an interesting one. My expectations are very high for Vanecek and frankly if he’s a player CL has targeted and is clearly going to be our main man I feel we should be pushing the boat out now. I disagree entirely with this notion we should save the couple hundred (guestimate) grand now given he’s fit and able to play immediately and could score the goals to take us to a cup final in the next couple of months more than repaying any fee in the process. He could also contribute big time to us being in a very strong league position going into the new year. Given the loss of Lafferty’s goals there seems to be a number of Hearts fans prepared to wing it! That said there is a lot of upside to a loan deal for Sow as if it goes well we might end up keeping him at least for the rest of the season in addition to Vanecek in January! I just hope he’s fit and motivated as his attitude and health is extremely questionable in recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Demolition Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I can remember a superb bit of skill from him in what I think was a Scottish Cup game at Tynecastle against Aberdeen.

Danny1874 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If he’s fit and ready to go then it’s a no brainer for me. Knows the city, the league, the club and the supporters so he should fit in seemlessly. He’s perhaps not as prolific in big games like Lafferty was but his overall game is better. I loved watching him play and hopefully he’s still the same player. I genuinely believe that a partnership of Sow and Uche would be an upgrade to what we had before, the only thing that will be hard to replace was Lafferty’s impact in the games against Celtic (I know he scored against Hibs and Rangers as well but I actually thought he was pretty poor in those games aside from his goals), hopefully someone can step up to the plate and be our new big-game player - plenty of potential candidates in our squad to do just that, including Sow if he signs.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Good player when on it. Better all rounder than Lafferty. I always wondered about his fight tho, he seemed quite withdrawn and almost shy sometimes. Hopefully Naismith can help him in that department. Real threat with the ball at his feet tho, hopefully stay fit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
