Below is what I posted earlier It happens at every club as you well know. Mourinho brought in Pogba £89m and Sanchez (valued at £65m) and they were well short of being successes. Rangers have 2 players ready to move on who cost fees who were a waste of transfer fees Celtic spent £1m on Marin Compper to sit on his rear end. Every club wastes money because you do not know if any new signing is going to work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you refuse to accept that therefore means we aren’t a hoofball team. Where’s your evidence that we are a hoofball team. Not just ‘ah seen it wif ma own eyes likes’. Actual, verifiable evidence please. Out of curiosity were those stats referring to passes or attempted passes or both combined? I read it at the time but can't remember. It's also worth pointing out that we were 3rd 'best' in a league with the most long passes in Europe so it's likely to say we could still be considered a long ball team in absolute terms.

jamboinglasgow Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Last summer really spoiled us, by this point last summer we had already signed 8 players (from April till now.) Currently we have 1 signed (2 if you include Aidy White but I have counted him as last seasons signing as he was not a pre-contract but signed in full.) We have 1 we expect to sign in Naismith and thats it. I have become impatient waiting for the next summer signing, and its only been 2 weeks since our last game of the season.

Debut 4 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ok, we aren’t a long ball team any more than anyone else but we aren’t good at scoring goals or overly great at general play. Think we’ve got more to worry about and work at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happened with us you can guarantee the media would have been all over it like a fly around shite). One of them McNulty which is fair enough but the other two didn’t kick a ball for them. Indeed we would’ve been slaughtered for doing that. I think it was 4, McNulty/Omeonga/Gauld and Bigrimana but only the first two contributed.

I’ve seen much worse in my time of over 50 years of regularly going to see my team. I am not one of the people who blindly hate Craig Levein.He was a great player for us and, I think, he has done a great job in creating an environment for young players of good quality to, soon I hope, be of great benefit to us. I don’t think that we have made the best use of limited resources in recruiting players best suited for the game in Scotland, over the last 3 or 4 seasons. We haven’t just had one or two poor signings, like the clubs quoted, we’ve had loads. I would like us to improve this to get our club challenging again. Hearts fans used to complain about the standard of the Lithuanian players brought to our club. Almost all of them were better than some of the dross signed in recent seasons. If I wanted to moan about my club regularly wasting money on dud players, who don’t get a game for us, whilst getting paid plenty for it, I’d do it. As it happens, all I was hoping for was an improvement in a vital part of my club’s operation, which has clearly been expensively poor recently.

Hibs just released 17 players, including Adam Bogdan, Darnell Johnson, Gael Bigirimana, Jonathan Spector, Marc McNulty, Mark Milligan, Marvin Bartley, Miquel Nelom, Ross Laidlaw, Ryan Gauld, Stephane Omeonga, Thomas Agyepong. The ones in bold were all signed in the last season or two, some just in January, and they all fall into the duds category. You could do a similar list for preceding seasons. Lennon's signings were extremely patchy. The big Lithuanian striker for example and several more that completely bombed. I can't be bothered going through Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen, but the story is similar if you take a look. IT's hard to think of their bad signings because they didn't play and we didn't see them. Killie are the exception. Clarke signed very few and the ones he did were good. Aberdeen , with a settled core, have not had to gamble like us. We're now in the position they were a few years ago where we have a good spine we can build around. Aberdeen will probably have a patchier record in the next couple of seasons as they're losing key players.

Maroonblood22 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I wasn't keen on Magennis at first when mentioned on here but trying to look at it positively he's scoring at international level, he's strong, has pace and can win headers so can see why we would be interested, especially with the NI connections at the club. Having said that, it all depends on the rest of the transfer activity in the summer. If Magennis is the only forward thinking player we sign then it will be a shite transfer window, but hopefully we're looking to bring in more strength and depth all round. On the fence with this one for now but won't pish my knickers if it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really only play 1 long ball in about 20. The prior 19 passes (short) are spent working our way to 30 yards out, to work 40 yards back to Berra, then another 20 yards back to Zlamal.

That’s where most of my frustrations come from, from this team and set up. Pep talks at length about how much he hates passing for passing sake, side ways, backwards “safe” passes going nowhere. I’ve said it a million times but we play 352/3511 but play within it like it’s a 451. Most of the time we don’t press high so create no overloads and like you say spread the ball about at the back till eventually someone takes a bad touch or plays a bad pass and we go long in a panic cause we’ve brought pressure onto ourselves by going nowhere. The biggest mistake England made the other night was leaving Stones with no options, that’s what cause the mistake. We need better movement and fitter players. Hopefully we see some strategic recruitment this summer to ensure we can play the high press every game next season, I think it suits us the best.

I'd agree, we have been too one dimensional this season.

You're breaking the law if you go over the top of a roundabout. Hearts don't break the law with their 20th ball.

He's not a finisher and he's not the quickest at seeing and executing a pass but he does create space for others to exploit. Getting Naismith on the ball in these areas means he can open teams up but we need more than just Naismith. Smith looks capable but he needs coached on where he should be making the runs off Ikpeazu.

White is presumably here regardless. For different reasons, age and quality I wouldn't touch the rest. If Djoum goes try and replace him with quality and if you can't don't bother and try and develop what we have. Too many players are signed as the dreaded back up and we get little value. This summer should be about developing what we already have at the club and creating opportunities for our younger players.

gov Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 13 minutes ago, Leveins Battalion said: Christian Doidge ? A ‘number’ of Scottish Premiership clubs are reportedly interested in signing Forest Green striker Christian Doidge. The attacker was due to join Bolton but financial difficulties meant the move fell through. And now HITC are reporting that he’s wanted by unnamed Premiership clubs as well as teams in England’s League One. No sides have been mentioned at all, but they report that Forest Green wouldn’t stand in his way. No idea if we are in for him obvs but if a few clubs sniffing about we might be one. checked his wiki and well you can see below 2016– Forest Green Rovers 107 (59) 2018–2019 → Bolton Wanderers (loan) 17 (1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
