I would think that deadline will have passed now. 3 hours ago, Mr Elwood P said: I don’t think we have. Levein said Djoum wanted to explore other options and the Hearts offer would be on the table while he did that. Perhaps he feels if Djoum leaves it’s time for an academy player to step up? Fair enough. His contract ended 31 May so he isn't a Hearts player unless there is some other arrangement to keep paying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambotommy Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It's a funny one with Djoum... He's clearly not a bad player...

Byyy The Light Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Was interesting listening to the pundits after the England Holland game the other night. They were talking about England's centre midfield players not being able to take the ball on the half turn and the lack of movement and rotation to create space for defenders to play out from the back. Sounded exactly like our issues. Too static in midfield, getting so far then turning back to keep possession without actually doing anything of note. Teams get on top of you and you lose stupid goals. I don't think Djoum is lazy and I actually think he tries to do too much at times which means he's out of position or there is a lack of options for him to hit. Think if we worked on midfielders rotating, creating space for each other and playing as a unit he'd be invaluable to us. Too much mucking about with team selections and tactics to let a proper unit build. In short, good player. Used wrongly so we're not seeing the best of him.

Ray Gin Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 4 hours ago, DH1986 said: Seedorf rates him ahead of other Cameroon players currently at his disposal. Cameroon are currently 10 spots behind Scotland in the FIFA rankings so I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say they aren’t exactly overrun with great midfielders. Djoum got his first cap aged 27 and has gone on to win 20 in three years......this suggest to me that they’ve hit a real slump and are scrambling about somewhere round the lower reaches of the barrel to find players. Also...... Lets not think Clarence Seedorf is a great manager......3 clubs is 4 years and only got the Cameroon job because of who he is rather than his actual management cv.....which btw is utterly and completely rancid. A real slump they were in when he won the AFCON with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an OK boring midfielder who does nothing to threaten or penetrate the opposition, we as a team do not score enough goals and do not win enough games. We don’t have a lot of cash, so reinvest that top wage in someone who can help add goals to help us win games.

As by fact im aware he is not in top 5, based on last years wages that is and not his new offer. He is played deep or outwide when haring isn't playing, not where he is best useful probably the root cause of his lack of goals. Thinking lack of creativity cause comes down to alot more than Djoum. As per the rest of sqaud the season was haulted with zero consistency and injuries. Another reason for poor return. Anyone who thinks hes not an asset and does not further our squad in prepartion to push for Europe, really has played much or stuided alot about the modern game.

Anyone who thinks hes not an asset and does not further our squad in prepartion to push for Europe, really has played much or stuided alot about the modern game. For me, Arnaud Djoum is a symbol of the mediocre results, dull style of play and lack of penetration from midfield which has summed Hearts up over the last 3-4 years he’s been here. The “containment of opposition” mentality which leads to us starting every game slowly and cautiously, playing catch up. I want front foot players who take the game to the opposition and are ready to spring through any gaps and punish any mistakes from opposition midfield. I suppose it comes down to the fact that for me, Djoum is just not “my type of midfielder” if I’m the manager, which is what we all do as fans. Hearts need to change the style, I feel Djoum is a big part of the slow sluggishness we see from Hearts in the first half of games, happy to get to half time at 0-0. No rhythm or fast tempo to what we’re doing in possession. Also I never, ever want to see Djoum on the wing ever again. Ever. I’ve seen enough of what he has to offer and feel we need to change the personnel in midfield. Whether we like it or not Lee, Clare, Haring will definitely be here next season so Djoum leaving and replacing him with a fresh face suits me.

I think Lee has possibly missed Naismith being in the team the most. The first few weeks of the season he looked very promising, we were a bit more intent on going forward at that time as well, which always benefits midfield players as they have more out ball options. It is something the club will have to think about in terms of who stays and who goes, i.e. what they expect input wise from the midfield next season. Djoum has ability, it is just that we haven't seen it from him an awful lot this season, a change in the style of play may suit him as well I guess. He certainly isn't a defensive or defence orientated type of midfield player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glottis Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The funny thing with Djoum is that he is a much better all around player than he was a couple of years ago. He should have clubs beating his door down. As an attacking midfielder who went missing every so often he'd probably have plenty of takers. As a central midfielder who gets stuck in (can't believe i'm typing that about Djoum!) and can play the ball... not as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
