If someone was pulling out from there after the gate was opened by security is it just the ongoing construction of the stand ie maybe a visiting project manager or would a visiting ‘possible signing’ park there before going in to the offices?? I might know the security guy that works there. If it is him (he 100% does security at Tynie, just not sure what or where) not sure he'd know who a football player was without being told so useless source of info though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Questions do need to be asked about this. Another player CL signed and has then deemed not good enough within around 12 months. How can we achieve any continuity if this keeps happening? I know Edwards wasn't a world beater but we definitely play our best when we press other teams and nobody else in the squad has his energy levels. Clare, Bozanic and Irving won't close the opposition down for 90 minutes at places such as Pittodrie, Celtic Park and Ibrox. Will be interesting to see if we get two new midfielders now.

We were already very short in quality and numbers in CM, we've now lost Djoum, Lee not in our plans and Haring out with a bad injury. Edwards was by no means a world beater but he proved that he was a good option to have in the squad in rotation. The season is fast approaching and our midfield is an absolute disaster currently, i wouldn't have thought it would be a good time to lose another CM.

JamboAl Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The one thing that, so far, is unclear is who initiated this move. Did Burton make a bid that we found acceptable? Did CL tell him he was "down the line" and free to move if he could find a club? or Did Edwards seek clarification of his situation and things flowed from there via his agent?

Maybe this extract from the EEN might help clarify for you. Increased competition this season, however, meant Edwards - who has played no part in Hearts’ two Betfred Cup games this season - wasn’t going to get the game time he craved, so he will head to England in an effort to get his career back on track.

Regardless my point is that sometimes good players can't get a game because they have better players ahead of them, so not every player who doesn't get a game is a bad player.

Ah sorry, picked up what you were saying wrong. For me i find it bizarre we sign players like Edwards and then punt them out without even giving him a chance. He was farmed out on loan right away, brought back, plays and contributes better than what we all thought, scores in the cup final and is then punted. Just very bizarre.

Irving looks like he can play a more defensive role though. Still not convinced with Bozanic, Clare learning how to play there, Lee possibly away. Looking seriously weak in midfield so hopefully a couple of players coming in this week. We've been seriously weak in midfield for three years. The middle of the field is one of the most important areas of play. Most clubs come to Tynecastle and know how to play us which is why a lot of the time we just pass from side to side and back again then impatience from the stands grows. No creation.
