chester copperpot Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am happy with most areas of the team however my priority would be a great keeper and a creative midfielder. Quality not quantity this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newton51 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 A goalkeeper and a winger. Milinkovic or Cadden would be ideal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hinges on Naismith n Djoum. Also depends who is ready to step up. Harry could play a big part. Morrison and Mulraney may polish their game etc. Does feel like a winger and a midfielder with creativity and drive would complete the squad. Maybe a left back? Agree on goalie.

Tennant's 6's Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Are Lee Wallace & Charlie Adam in the pipeline?A proper No.1 goalie, Craig Gordon/ David Marshall? Another CB to replace Hughs/ Shaughnessy, Niall Keown looks decent, not sure if he's a free in the summer. Pace out wide, Cadden, as long as the development fee isn't extortionate, a Milinkovic type of player. Should at least try to speak to MacKay-Steven.

hmfc_liam06 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 SImilar to others above, a couple of quality signings. Definitely a GK and a wide player (assuming Naismith & Djoum re-sign). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lock Naismith and Djoum in a room and force them to sign. Apart from that the obvious ones are a proper high quality GK and LB, plus probably another wide player (GMS would be ideal but I dont see it). Then assuming noone leaves we’ll have a strong balanced starting XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Naismith is the biggie obviously, if we can get him tied up then we have a great base of a team. Of the players we are likely to lose Djoum would be the one who could be the biggest loss however that, I hope, frees up space for Harry to make it his own. Squad fillers like Mulraney might go, dead wood like Hughes, Martin, Edwards will hopefully go. Hopefully these spaces are taken up by younger players to get some game time. We need a creative spark in midfield, back to needing a good quality left back, a proper winger and a better goalkeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we have played recently tactically has been in response to our injuries and waiting for big Dave to join us. We have big strong strikers that are good in the air...it would be madness not to play to their strengths. Almost certain that that we will look to bring in players that can put in a decent cross. We have very limited ability in the team regarding players that can beat a man and cross the ball. Looking to the future I can’t see Morrison filling that gap and we need to get someone else in.

Martin still has more than a year left on his deal so it's unlikely he will go other than maybe another loan deal. The same would probably apply to Edwards but it really beggars the question as to why we signed him in the first place? We need a decent Goalkeeper another CB, LB creative midfielder and a wide player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseyjambo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Naismith is key to recruitment in the summer If he stays, as players to start, a goalkeeper and a Neil McCann type winger. Someone with a bit of pace and trickery who can deliver a cross ball. As back up, a centre half who can be brought on to replace Souttar and Berra. If if he doesn’t stay we’ll also need to try and find a Hartley/Cameron/Skacel type who can drive us on from the middle of the park and chip in with a few goals. Have the feeling that if we could get him, Cadden from Motherwell might be the player that could do that for us. Sammon is out of contract in summer so he’ll be gone. Edwards and Martin will have 12 months on their contract so we may can either release or at that point someone may come in for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality not quantity this summer. We're doing OK but we don't have the quality required to seriously challenge every season so I think we could be improved throughout. Right now we have probably 5 players I could see in a consistently strong, challenging team; Berra, Souttar, Haring, Naismith and Djoum. Smith isn't far behind this pack, and Clare has the tools but it's early days yet. Big Uche looks the part but we really haven't seen much in the way of goals yet so he's borderline IMO. We need exceptional, not acceptable, and we're not there yet, especially as there's a decent chance of losing 2 of that 5, maybe even more.

Calebs Grandad Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Look at the injury crisis we suffered where we lost players that simply couldn’t be replaced with anyone we have at present. If at all possible bring in 2-3 players who are adaptable in playing in other positions if need be. Easier said than done I appreciate.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We’re going to need major stregnthening given we look like losing Djoum and Naismith. This Hearts team without those two has already demonstrated it cannot win a game in this league. As of right now We’ve only got Uche, Maclean and Vanacek to look to for league goals next season (3 league goals total between the 3 of them so far this season, it’s february) and a big hole in the midfield.

DH1986 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) GK - neither ZZ or Doyle are top 3 team quality imo. 2 x CH’s - Hughes is gone, Shaugnessy is only on loan and Clevid seems to have fallen out of favour. LB - we need a left footed Micheal Smith type player CDM - need an adequate replacement for Haring MF - at least 2 or 3 required with Djoum going plus we need to upgrade on what we have to progress. A couple of players to play either side of Haring are needed. RW/LW - we need better wingers on both sides of the park CF - we need an experienced fox in the box. It may look a lot but we’ll be losing upwards of seven players imo. Edited February 15, 2019 by DH1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) 1. New keeper (if available - Doyle / Zhamal would be okay) 2. Smith 3. Garrucio or new left back 4. Replacement for Souttar most likely > could be Shaughnessy if deal done with Leeds. Or replacement. 5. Berra 6. Haring 7. Bozanic / Lee (presume Djoum is away) 8. Naismith OR 2 or 3 good replacements in place with Cochrane/ Burns as back up depending how they develop 9. Uche 10. Vanetek / Keena / Clare 11. Morrison though new winger would be good Even now I think we need 2 or 3 more creative/ wide forward players. Certainly needed as priority if Naismith goes. So someone like Charlie Adam (currently back in team at Stoke but injured) Would help. Edited February 15, 2019 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
