AlimOzturk Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Was hoping Vanecek was the man to replace him but it hasn't happened. Still hold out hope there is a player there otherwise signing him would go down as one of the most pointless singing of all time. He was scoring goals regularly at Aa decent level before joining us. Really hope this is a case of a player arriving and just taking time to settle into the jump in level and fitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Don't really understand why this is being debated, his goalscoring record for us is a complete outlier benchmarked against the rest of his career. It would not be repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Selling Lafferty wasn’t a mistake..... Buying Wighton and waiting 6 months on Vanecek were the real mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 4 hours ago, A_A wehatethehibs said: To correct the record here slightly, he did not “decide” anything it was Hearts decision to sell him - primarily a levein and Budge decision to negotiate a sale, a wrong and extremely costly wrong decision for which they should be held absolutely accountable. We had the player under contract so irrespective of toys getting chucked out of prams, it was Hearts management decision to sell him. He was not a free agent and had no power to decide anything. With our chronic lack of goals over this season and 5 defeats from 5 against Celtic since he left including the 2 biggest games Hearts have played had since 2012, if we had lafferty who had a nack for scoring against them we could have had 2x trophies this year instead it’s ?? to the management who thought we’d be alright with Maclean and Vanacek, and paid 6 figure sums for both Wighton and Clare. I’d happily release all 4 of those players in favour of having 1 Kyle Lafferty. He scored about 4x as many goals as the 4 of them combined - that squad management deserves absolute pelters. Kyle Lafferty would have been worth his weight in gold for Hearts this season and I for one am still absolutely raging we sold him. Goalscorers are absolute gold dust in football, so rare, at Hearts especially. An idiotic decision to sell him, and equally incompetent attempts to replace him. We should have just kept him, told him to see out his contract, keep his form up and go away up the M8 as a free transfer this summer. WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH HIM TO SELL HIM AFTER 12 MONTHS.

Even an ever present Uche (who can be as selfish as Lafferty) is not a natural finisher and cannot carry that burden. Vanacek? Complete mystery and clearly not getting it right at this level.

1874Gorgie1874 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If he’s free or on the cheap we’d be stupid not to take him. There surely isn’t many other proven goal scorers who know the league that we could realistically get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
