Very much this and as we may only have the latter till the end of this season, the timing is fortuitous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 8 minutes ago, ToqueJambo said: Which is why we'll probably sign someone, but I don't think it'll be the end of the world if we don't considering Vanacek is coming in in January. As well as Wighton we do have Keena and can even push Naismith up. It really depends how we'll play in certain games. Two senior (three if you include Naismith) and two younger forwards seems pretty normal to me though, thinking back to previous teams. Not the end of the world but bringing in Vanecek or another quality striker now could be the difference between us having a phenomenal season and having a decent one.

Agree completely, strike while the iron's hot and all that. Sow on loan or even a one or two year deal would be great. It does seem like we're doing everything possible to get Vanacek in beyond offering them silly money though. If we don't, I just think back to previous good seasons (85/86 or our 3rds under Levein, even the 2012 cup season) when we had just two or 3 "first choice" strikers with the cover being a much lower quality or largely youngsters. Uche, McLean, Wighton and Naismith, with Keena if we really need a physical presence, should be good for a few months. I could even see Haring being shoved up front Kevin mcKenna style if Uche and Keena are out and we're really desperate for a physical presence up top in a game.

RobNox Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 He gives a good interview on Hearts TV, came across confidently and seems like a level headed lad. Felt he was getting a bit stale at Dundee, didn't think twice when we came in for him. He's known Soapy for years and has obviously seen how he has developed since coming here. Hopefully Craig can show similar improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Clark, Cummings, Keatings, Reilly... who knows if Shankland would buck the trend. He's 23 and is only now having a high scoring season for a striker. Wighton has only just turned 21. Let's see what he can do with much, much better players around him. In any case, not sure Wighton has been signed to play for us as a main striker no matter how his previous clubs played him.
