agreed

I genuinely do believe and stand by the thought, that we have the makings of a good squad , a good core (with Naismith signing hopefully!) where we need one or two quality additions - the boy Grot from Leeds looks like the type of winger we need, if Djoum stays we wouldn't need to run about looking for midfielders of the same level - but could still do with one more decent midfielder. We have some of the best young players breaking through, so I wouldn't be against using some, but not all at once. If McDonald comes back I'd like to see him utilised more, Cochrane to get more game time and hickey in a few games as well.  Clare should be better as well, and Mulraney will be more confident to carry on as he finished. I'm feeling quietly excited about how the squad is going to develop this season

If we're looking at it from a cover perspective, then why are we signing a player on loan for cover when Baur, Petkov or Hamilton could easily, between the three of them, cover as 4th choice CB? Levein clearly isn't shy to throw a youngster in out from the cold, so I don't see why this should be any different.

 

It's why I'm sceptical of this loan winger from Leeds, who from what I have read is already quite raw. Surely we can recruit and develop a better winger of our own if he's going to be third choice for now anyway. Is our scouting really that peripherally focused that we can't scout another player in all of Europe that fits this bill, rather than taking all the risk with another winger with less reward than if we found a similar quality player on an 18 month deal?

 

Dikamona is our 4th choice centre back.

No chance. The guy looks more out of shape than Vanecek!

 

 

Out of shape, what are you looking at?  He is an absolute tank.

Thought we were going for 3/4 players with real quality

He might regret saying that. Under promise and over deliver is always the better option.

Personally I like players who have played international football, even if it is for Northern Ireland,

 

What a stupid comment that is.

 

Northern Ireland are ranked 28th in the world, above nations like Turkey, Russia, Scotland (nearly 20 places above that mob), Ivory Coast and R.O.I. 

 

I bet you wouldn’t debate whether signing a Turkish international or a Slovakian international if the chance came along.

I think you taking comments out of context and looking for schoolboy fights is stupid but there we go .

 

I rate Northern Ireland unlike so many other people just last week

There were some humorous bellies on parade in that particular Leeds top. Not one to flatter the beer drinkers of West Yorks

“Even if it is for Northern Ireland” is rather arrogant. Whether you meant it to be or not.

As I say, out of context, I was bending over backwards on another thread re NI. Plenty of other people apparently don't share my view about NI. Irony Phil, irony.

Holland under 21 international signed by a top English Championship side with a huge scouting network. Yet to prove his worth, but could be real quality.

 

We wont be signing players that cost millions, which is real quality. Interpretation I suppose

No-one knows about White or whether he’ll be a good addition to the squad. How long’s he been out for now? Two years?

 

The reviews from Leeds fans is not a glowing endorsement for Grot. I’m on the fence for that one. 

 

Either way, we absolutely need better width in the team. Morrison and Mulraney aren’t enough to get us to where we wanna be. 

 

And if the management team once again fail to address the need for a creative midfielder, then serious questions need to be asked to their competence in their roles.

Possibly Mandron as back striker too

 

Edit: he will be backup - Uche's on instagram showing he's an absolute beast still. Boy is going to bully the hell out of players this season

Shankland is another rumour that popped up a while back, I wonder if we're just keeping our options open?

So, Grot, Aneke and Ariyibi. If that's all true then we are definitely looking at big, strong, athletic types with a bit of football ability as well! Add in guys like walker and Milinkovic then that's a good mix to be bringing in, especially when you have guys like haring, naismith, Uch and even McLean already here.

Along with Haring, Souttar and Berra, quite a threat at set pieces

Yes, but Northern Ireland is a bit of a kiddie-on country tbh.

Apparently we are interested in signing the Leeds United winger Jay-Roy Grot on a season long loan according to the Evening News

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/latest-hearts-news/hearts-interested-in-signing-leeds-united-s-dutch-winger-jay-roy-grot-1-4948951

If anything smacks of a Levein signing its this one. A Dutch winger who has struggled for game time since joining Leeds in 2017, struggled with homesickness & the belter of the article has even been BOOED onto the park by his own fans. A current day Hearts signing if their ever was one

"smacks of a levein signing, struggling" etc. Not hard to see you created a new thread to have a dig at the manager

Its clearly already been mentioned in the transfer thread

 

Mods close the thread to minimise another thread being derailed by levein jibes

That's probably because a lot of fans don't really want Levein to continue as manager.
