Do you seriously believe that the only left back we could dig up was an injured one ? We had 6 months from when he signed until the start of the new season and if that was all our scouting system could muster up then it’s no bloody wonder we were rock bottom for as long as we were. Add £9m in benefactor money and this is the type of bargain Levein found...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambosdad Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Levein was a class player who had to retire through injury. It is interesting and praiseworthy that he has given good players who had serious injuries a chance to recover their fitness and confidence. Clare has shown good skills and pace and is not out of place in our side. White looks like a player, fullback, not wide midfield. We have struggled finding good wide players who can track back leaving our full backs exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a word with yourself and don't try to impose your opinion as fact on me. Our scouting system over a long number of years has picked up what they thought were the best players they could afford at the time we wanted them or when they became available. Some work out well: some don't and that does not just apply to Hearts. Now toddle off and impose your opinion elsewhere. Good lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettigrewsstylist Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Always useful to gauge meaningful time on pitch v salary over lifetime of signing Then look at impact/influence. Exceptions can be awarded if serious injury whilst playing/training. AW.....Deadweight. Ditch.

Romulus Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What I can’t understand is why people are so keen to hold on to players, just because they are okay for the championship. We need a complete clear out of the guys who have been so unreliable when called upon for the last couple of seasons, regardless of division. May be difficult to remove these guys given the wages we are giving them mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (big if) the players are good enough to do that we are better persevering with them, rather than paying them off, then paying for new players. We have another load of players out of contract next summer and it will save us paying them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there seems to be a thing that folk think we'll be alright in the championship to just sell Hickey, guys like White and Garuccio will be fine... the prospect of these hopeless Levein era signings playing for Hearts again is sickening for me, I'd rather keep Hickey for the season and let him go to Celtic next year for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, we need as many of them as possible out the door ASAP. Their ability isn't the issue, its their mentality and they've shown to have absolutely no bottle to play for a club with expectation. Get rid of as many as possible. Perhaps Damour will want tor return to France? God, I hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Vallance Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The oft quoted phrase that if he / they hadn't had injury problems we wouldn't have got anywhere near them.

Greedy Jambo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I actually thought he looked good in spells, but doing it in spells isn't gonna cut it. I'm tempted to say get rid of most of the squad and start again but it will be interesting to see them under a new manager/coaches i suppose. I don't think Stendel had enough time to be judged fairly and his right hand men certainly didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damour said Levein gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. No other team will pay him what we're paying. Unless there's a bigger idiot than Levein somewhere out there, with money to waste.

Every year we seem to have an Osh, Vanacek, Amankwaa etc. Maybe other teams do too?? Seems we go through this loads though. Relatively high profile player being a total non entity for us No doubt we've had bad luck.

When the team's going badly, duds tend to get highlighted. In reality all teams have them every season. Our injuries meant certain players signed as back-up or as punts for the future were forced into the first team early. We also have a bigger budget so some of our duds will always be most expensive, plus we have more money to gamble so probably do take more chances than other teams. A lot was made about the number of signings the last 5 years but it's not that far off what Hibs, Aberdeen and other teams have signed in the same period - and without as much upheaval. They must have a number of duds in there. Apart from 14/15 we have had nearly one fairly major dud a season though, in terms of the length of contract and not living up to expectations.

Hi Craig, Aberdeen or Hibs’ duds aren’t paid as much as ours and more importantly haven’t left them shitting it and probably going down legal route having the league season ended bottom of the table and getting wrongly demoted. The BIGGEST TRANSFER BUDGET EVER two season in a row. Wasted, completely wasted. It’s ****ing criminal. Aidy White would have been a very good player if it wasn’t for his injuries, we knew that before he signed. He signed as a first choice player. He was unaffordable if not for injuries, that indicates he’s high on our budget list. He’s been “unlucky” no, he’s been as expected, that’s why he couldn’t get a contract anywhere else.

Plenty clubs sign players after initially hearing about them through a tip-off from someone in their network. It's what you do with the tip-offs that matters. In this case we did a great job signing and getting money for Sow, apart from the timing of his departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I did well but the manager, Steven Pressley, said he’d found another place for me to go. So who’s right? He wasn’t good enough for Coventry but was recommended to us by Alexander and was signed on his recommendation having played with him instead of Elvis who chucked him our way. ”Hi Hearts it’s your former cup winning captain Elvis here, we have a player on trial not quite good enough but I’m strongly recommending him to you Craig” Oh thanks for that, I’ll sign him on your word then Elvis even though I know the best for the whole of Scottish football, cheers. The recommendation was Alexander. He came up after a failed trial at a higher level (more fool them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we should fight it until the very end. No, If Budge goes the courts then she has to be backed. Stendel. If not then Robinson. If not Wright, if not possibly The King.
