AlphonseCapone Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 29 minutes ago, Mr Elwood P said: Players lacking commitment and application don’t usually amass 12 yellow cards over a season. That number of bookings is usually a sign of a playing fighting for the team and being involved in a significant amount of the game. As a general rule aye. But Djoum picks up as many bookings because some of his challenges are ridiculously bad, not nasty, just awfully timed. It's neither here nor there in regard to his ability. Scholes was notoriously bad at tackling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just now, Mr Elwood P said: The same reason that you would invest in a team to win or a player to score - value. The investments were largely a success so not sure why you hope the investment was small? Not sure being completely oblivious to what Djoum brings to the team is 'in the best interests of Hearts'? So what did you invest, and what was the success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh ah grantona Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) 5 to 6k a week for some of our players Get heads out clouds FFS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/revealed-what-hibs-and-hearts-pay-in-wages-and-salaries-1-4624790/amp That's 2017!! I'd be surprised if anyone at club is over 3-4k a week Total staff costs in 2017 account just over £5m Last accounts 2018 just over £7m that's total staff costs so everyone employed I'd imagine and that might include bonuses. People think that 2 players are taking 500k of that yearly budget up Edited June 3, 2019 by oh ah grantona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I wasn't so much criticising us for a lack of refinery but our league as a whole. As we've seen with the supposed EPL 'stars' (has beens) that have come up to Celtic and Ramgers in recent years the sheer hectic nature of our league makes it hard for them to play. Blood and thunder is the name of the game here and even with 7 or 8 players of Djoum's calibre it can still be hard to play their game against a team like Hamilton who will sit in, close you down straight away and kick lumps out of you...all whilst you adapt to playing on their world of soccer pitch. Hopefully we can overcome that and get people with the patience and nous to break them down anyway.

That Hardie is the type of player as well that seems to excel at this level. Depends on our ambition tho as well, I'd like us to go for footballers, get the right mix and maybe punch above our weight for a season or two. These types of players are good for 3rd, but never going to break that ceiling or compete well in Europe. Fans want to see instant results tho so who knows what is right for a club with our budget. Players like Tzlois ( sp) and Goncalves as well fit that bill, similar to Djoum. Should be better than most but sometimes just don't get there for whatever reason, I agree with Taffin, you need 7/8 of these players in the team not 3/4 for it to work properly.

Unknown user Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 9 hours ago, Taffin said: I really like Djoum as a player and think he is really talented. One thing I always felt was that he was maybe a bit of a journeyman who didn't car much or identify with the club. Recent interviews with him have changed my opinion a bit on that and seeing his reaction at full time in the cup final made me see him in another light. He cares. That said, I wouldn't pay him a huge amount as I think in our league we'd be better served with a less skillful battler paired up with someone who can offer more in attack than Djoum does. I think he could play at a higher level in a more 'refined' league but that doesn't necessarily represent value for money for us.

pettigrewsstylist Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I dont think we have had value for our expenditure on this deal. He would clearly be off if something better came along.

Bozi Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Djoum is probably our best midfielder but that is almost the counter point to the whole argument for keeping him, he is systemic of our current issues. Yes he keeps it neat and tidy, yes he offers some solidity but he absolutely never takes a game by the scruff, he slows the game down and offers little in the final third. His forward pass in the final was the best ball he played all season, but we waited all season for that. Good player but not what we need, thanks for the meh and hope you get a decent contract elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I don't understand how anyone can say he's the best midfielder at our club when we have Peter Haring. Djoum hasn't been what he could have been when he first joined. His first 6 months he was unstoppable, then Afcon* happened and he started playing defensively and distinctly more average. His game in the final was about the best I've saw him play since he first joined. He's worth keeping, but not at the sort of figures quoted. Slightly improved contract in recognition of his length of time here and no more. Anymore than that and we're overpaying. If someone wants to blow us out the water, then crack on. Let them waste their money. Edit: Just did a sense check and those 6 months I was talking about was actually 2 years. ****.

Skacelsid Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks Arnaud and good luck, it is time for us to move on, we need to build a midfield for the future, there are plenty players out there along with young players that should be coming through, developing into squad players.

I have faith that the scouting system that has brought us in some gems in the past couple of seasons will find another Haring, Naismith or Uche. The money's there to replace Djoum and I back the club to do that. Midfield-wise I expect Haring to be the first name on the team sheet from the start of next season so I would hope that the club would keep that in mind when assessing new recruits, regardless of attributes. Find players to fit into the system we want to play, not players who individually offer X and Y. With regard to Edwards, I think fair play to Levein. He's clearly said to the players that there are places up for grabs and Edwards took his chance, played well against Hibs and Celtic in the league, and got in the team for the final. Can't fault anyone there. Edited June 5, 2019 by better_call_saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
