Hampden Demolition Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I see he’s been released from Bradford. Would you take him back here? Was a dependable player when he was here the first time, knows the club and what it means to play for Hearts. Would be happy if he was brought back as another option.

AlimOzturk Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Yes he is liked by the fans, a dependable player, a character I the dressing room and most of all his desire to play for us is undeniable. Good solid signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandjambo3 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Meh.... not to sure about “released” players.... sounds a bit surplus to requirement. Great when he was here but not an upgrade imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he would be a starter every week but I would rather have him as an option over say Shaughnessy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restonbabe Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I absloutey love gowzer. My dad seen him at Easter Road. Absloutey went mental at the goal. Definate knows what it means to play for us. And deadly from a yard out. Could do much worse than signing him, but will probably sign for Dundee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheatfieldWarrior Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Need to sign Naismith, Cover for Naismith, and either cover for Uche or a replacement for Lafferty, specifically his goals. Could probably get by with the rest even if Djoum goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscjambo Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 We like to wax lyrical and look at ex players through rose tinted specs. Gowser was great for us, dependable, versatile. I'm not sure at this moment in time he synificantly improves the squad. I don't see him as a centre back and with Halkett coming in he could only surely be signed as a right back.

The net absolutely should be cast far and wide, but I'd much rather we focused on getting together a squad that we know can do the business. Signings like McGowan, Wallace, Gordon, Lafferty, Milinkovic, Walker factually would radically improve us. You can't seriously find it odd that many fans want to see these guys return?

Gordon would be nice as an end of career thing, but really he's lost his place to Scott bain and has knee trouble now. Wallace has literally played less than 10 games in the last 2 years. Walker hasn't kicked a ball since Cathro was here. Milinkovic has hardly had any football but would at least push for a first team spot although he wasn't at all consistent first time round. Lafferty just won't happen. McGowan keeps getting relegated with whoever he plays for. These guys wouldn't radically improve us at all. We would need much better to push for top 3.
