I'm not sure what you mean by "Budget would have to be adjusted".. By adjusted means it is not absolutely imperative some of the funds intended for finishing some the stadium projects could not be relocated should it prove necessary,although we probably have enough washing around.

I would guess AB would like the stand finished asap to maximise our revenue from it rather than acquire another striker who may or may not play, depending on whether Naisy/Uche/Vanecek are fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we start overloading for every position that will surely be the outcome. It's not meant as a scare tactic, more a reality check. As it happens I reckon AB and CL have done a wonderful job on the whole and if there is any money left she should send CL on a fortune telling course so he can predict who is going to be injured, so enabling him to prioritise his signings better.

JamboAl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I cannot see what your problem is. You said we need another fall back striker and I'm sayng that whatever money we have may have been designated for other priorities. If we get another striker he'll probably have to sit on the bench when Naisy, Uche and Vanecek are all fit and probably so also will one of the latter two as we won't play with 3 out-and-out strikers.

HMFC THE TEAM FOR ME Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Not really a pre-contract but Eamonn Brophy Of Kilmarnock would be good been a big fan of him since he was at Hamilton would compliment the likes of Naismith, & Maclean very well knows the league currently on 7 goals in 10 games very good record.

Having the 4 strikers including Maclean is enough ... wighton is and was brought in to be a development option in the background and fall back .. don't think wighton can be judged too much at the moment as he was brought in as a hot prospect but the demands placed on him to come in and have an immediate impact and due to our injuries I believe has had a an adverse impact having more strikers means potential unrest at lack of playing time meaning Less team unity in the squad .. the addition of vanacek and the safe return of uche and naisy along with Maclean will allow for some rotation and to rest players where short term injuries may come into play next year - simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous 1874 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Should try and get some new contracts dished out before any incomings. Souttar, Djoum, Smith all new contracts then press ahead with getting Naisy on a pre. I’d also get Haring + Uche a few more years extension.

If we play a back three, Godinho & Brandon are pretty much tailor made for the RWB role, Morrison could possibly cover here. Also saw on Killies forum we are in for Cadden on a pre-contract (although there is apparently MLS interest so pinch of salt). Development fee could be a kick in the balls with Cadden, hopefully we can sort something out to reduce it.

CL mentioned about a year ago Souttar would be good enough for the EPL last summer. Valuation plummets for a players in the last year of contract especially when no new deal has been agreed. Look at Walker Sam and Patz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would GMS come to hearts when Aberdeen will be able to offer him more? 2. Jordan jones is playing for the team at the top of the league...why also would he want to come here? I think it’s more important to pick out players that would actually want to play for hearts than just the best players in our opposing teams but we’d be some force with all the above quoted though! Rumours on Twitter Jordan Jones to Rangers,deal almost done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Jambo Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Halkett would be a good signing but would probably need to spend money to get him in Jan.

I’ve a funny feeling Scott Allan would be absolute dug meat if he played for Hearts - just like he has been everywhere but Hibs since he left DUFC.
