Zaba Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 To the person that suggested Souttar could be a potential ‘project’ at Leicester if Maguire goes. They have two young European CBs in Calgary Soyuncu and Filip Benkovic (who was on loan at Celtic last year). Would be surprised to see them make a move for another young CB, more likely a definite starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Levein was quick to remind journalists there's still another month for us to approach free agents/buy players at the press conference As annoying as it is I reckon we have a bit of a wait until our next signing(s?)

BackOfTheNet Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 6 hours ago, Dino Velvet said: No danger he’s dropping from 20k a week to 2k a week. Is he on £20k a week, or with the relegation is there a clause which means his wage dropped a fair percentage? Also, if signing on loan the wages may not be an issue as we’ll unlikely pay the full whack. If signing permanently I’d imagine Cardiff will pay him off, which means he may get a wage coming from them for a year or so, which I think was the case with Lafferty. Pretty sure Sergio was on a similar deal back in 2012, he got paid from us but we were just topping up his Sporting Lisbon wages. Hence why he didn’t extend in 2012, we offered him more money but it was still a significant drop as the Sporting money stopped at that point. Think a few have said that was a point of motivation for Lafferty to leave too, as Norwich stopped paying him last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have a point however Berra was very much in the same catagory as Naismith, Lafferty was just looking to get playing ( and his dream move to Sevco) as I said these players could be on a career wind down and money did not come into it ( maybe Lafferty aside).

Ibrahim Tall Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Be happy with Whelan, he’s not exactly the creative spark we need in midfield but he’d atleast give us a much needed ‘presence’ in midfield that’s been lacking since probably Gomis.

Even the players I've actually seen play, Hartley, Webster, etc I've been underwhelmed with signings who have turned out to be great players for us. I've learned to wait and see. Whelan has bags of experience and would, hopefully be a leader on the park for our younger players. Yes he's towards the end of his career but the best Hearts sides have had that blend of experience and youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
