Even if he does there’s absolutely no chance he will sign a new contract before shop windowing himself over the summer. We will be the back up plan and it doesn’t sit easy with me.

Yeah. But Clarence is picking him to play a central role similar to Charlie Adam not to drive forward attacks. And he is picking him for Cameroon. If Clarence Seedorf was managing Hearts in Scotland he would be looking for different players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff the Mince Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 A frustrating player as he has obvious talent , my problem has been big games when he needs to step up He goes missing .

BelgeJambo Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 He will excel under a manager who has a game plan most weeks We are almost at the point were half the team are not allowed to cross the halfway line A number 10 is a luxury Levein won’t deploy unless Naismith is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighenry Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Im not surprised A very underrated player here imo. I believe His best position is holding central midfield .

An oft-perpetuated myth. It is true that he was poor for the remainder of the season after winning the AFCON. But every single player was absolutely garbage during the Cathro era. He has been very good for us for the majority of his spell with us, that period apart, along with some times when he’s been coming back from injury. He was at his best before the AFCON. It coincided with him being played in his best position for us - in an attacking midfield role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he played further forward (eg behind Juanma), he regularly weighed in with goals. Also good at unlocking defences and deceptively skillful. Don’t see much of that from him now.

lost in space Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Can someone tell me what his abilities are. I have been watching for years and don't see many/any. He isn't mobile. He doesn't have pace. He is not a leader. He does not have a great first touch. He is not a great passer of the ball (well not forwards anyway). He is not great (but compitant defensively) in the air. He does not support forwards and does not burst into the box. He does not score goals from midfield. He does not take free kicks or corners. He is a horrendous tackler who has not been sent off regularly because he actually misses tackles. Oh, yes, he has good upper body strength and can wrestle players - doesn't make him a footballer though. PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT HE DOES!!!!

gashauskis9 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Levein still trying to sort a deal out for Djoum according to EEN.

J80MBO Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Wish he would just confirm his exit. Cant pass, cant tackle, doesn't score or create, slow and covers little ground on pitch... I think his self belief is about his only quality when he talks in papers about how going to go onto bigger and better things (good luck with that djoum)... Unfortunately does not translate into anything close to good performances on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coaching staff think our midfield as it is just now is fine then tells me all I need to know. Even with Djoum staying we would only have him, Haring and Cochrane of any real ability.

I would take the risk to the gamble his wage on getting a different type of midfielder. More attacking and bigger presence to drive the team on. In an ideal world I would have both. Djoum and attacking midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Munro Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think there is little chance CL is telling the truth here.

Inch Hearts Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 He’s not going to sign anything until after the summer when he shop windows himself. We will be sloppy seconds if he can’t get another gig.

He always side-foots his shots and not take a 'first time laces through the ball' shot. He could've contributed so many more goals I feel.
