So, presumably he could buy and sell Levein several times over on that salary. Whether the playing budget is higher or not, I don't know. AB is funding the substantial shortfall on the stand from her own pocket so shouldn't impact too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case no more game time for hearts...... nothing personal but, I’d imagine there is some sort of “beat it if you get injured” somewhere in the clause of his new contract so, very likely to not commit for the remaining games.

Bauld Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I couldn't care less. Genuinely think we can do better. He's a decent player but not consistently. Also if you consider our other midfield options I think we could afford to move Djoum on for another midfielder more in the mould of what the team needs to improve it.

We need better midfielders than we have already and unless we have 4/5 decent players then you won’t see the best of Djoum in any midfield. Looks very ordinary when playing alongside Lee and Bozanic. I’d move the three of them on along with Edwards and try and strengthen/rebuild around Haring and Clare. Djoum would flourish in a strong midfield and I feel we didn’t get the best of him due to the players alongside him. Wasn’t prepared to roll his sleeves up and fight the good fight. I always felt he was content to leave enough gas in the tank. We badly need a good box to box midfielder and Pittman from livi would definitely be an upgrade to what we have at the moment. Of course all in my own humble opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentinho Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) IMO Djoum 's heart was never in it for us. He has played the "stepping stone" ploy once too often. I would rather have Stewart from Aberdeen, if Birmingham City are sensible with the fee. If any player is not committed, get rid. There are plenty of players better than AD who would want to play for us. Edited April 27, 2019 by Valentinho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajthejambo Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Losing a player the club wants to keep to a rival always stings a bit. Particularly if it's neither of the Glasgow clubs.

jambopilms Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think we all agree our midfield creates little. Why the desperate attempt to keep the same players. Times up, we move on.
