The fact that they have sent for a 2nd opinion makes me think it might require an op hence why they want to be so sure. From what I read about it today it sounds as if Haring came back too early. He should probably not have played in the Cup Final which is perhaps why CL is taking a bit of the blame for urging him to play. The Specialist he saw has said rest is the cure although it seems they are sending him for a second opinion. He has missed all of the pre-season work so will be way behind on his fitness so we need to get someone in asap and hoppefully someone who is fit and ready to play come the start of the season. Incidentally CL also said that we are not interested in Morrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2607 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Was just speaking to a Jambo pal in work and we were discussing the possibility of signing Mulumbu and Morrison (of course unlikely considering their wages), but imagine: GK Zlamal RB Smith CB Halkett CB Souttar LB Hickey DMC Haring/Mulumbu RW Walker LW Mulraney AMC Morrison ST Naismith ST Washington Some team that would be.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 3 hours ago, Jamhammer said: At least that will help us score more goals. Oh wait. It will if you understand football. A good dm protects the back 4 and allows the attacking players to attack without worrying about what's behind them. Complicated, but if you can get to grips with football being a team game, then go from there you'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree mate, obviously with Haring being out for longer than expected might push our hand as to signing a new midfielder, Levein must think the youth are going to make the step up.

bistokid Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 You don't dump youth in without support. Bozanic, Edwards, Lee should have been the players to depart.

Probably both, but his record in Europe is pretty poor despite having so many attempts to get it right. He's had a few results as bad as our exit under Neilson, which means I think this tie could go the same way. When drawn against EPL opposition he did worse than our ragtag team at the time. Fair play, McInnes is a master at finishing 2nd in a Premiership without a full-strength Rangers, Hearts and/or Hibs but he's not exactly covered himself in glory in Europe.

Im on the bus with giving youth a chance, absolutely on it, but we shouldn’t be weakening the squad at the expense of making Hearts as strong as they can/should be. (Had to re-read that lol) I’m certain Levein will sign at least one midfielder anyway, two would be most welcome but possibly wishful thinking.

Youngsters are going to play the Djoum role, with Walker providing more attacking play from midfield so the youngsters, eg Clare, don't need to do so much of that. We're signing one more CM at least to both cover for Haring and I assume to possibly play alongside him. That's all we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
