N Ire v Estonia is like Hearts v a Division One team.

 

Today hasn’t changed my mind about him.

 

Come in useful when Levein gets us relegated then?

To tell u the truth i go and watch Northern Ireland on a regular basis and was at most of these matches so it's not as if i don't know what I'm talking about here mate but crack on if u feel u know better. 

 

Give me a forward who scores goals over one who knocks folk over loads tbf.

 

Like I said, Uche hasn't scored goals at an international level, so to say he's better than Magennis is madness. Whether you go and watch Northern Ireland or not. I know plenty of Hearts supporters who go to watch Hearts and couldn't spot a player if he was shagging his missus.

Uche is 24 years old and absolutely bully's defenders there's a reason why teams like celtic and rangers want him i personally think Uche is a better player injures has stopped Uche from playing aswell.  And im definitely not of my head but thanks for that ? 

 

Neither Celtic or Rangers want Uche.

Bolton were in serious condition last season. Not a good barometer. Plenty players would have struggled constantly back to the wall.

I love the guys work rate and constant effort to better himself. 

But the fact of it is mate that is his level and i can assure u he isn't any quality striker.

Your just being silly now uche is 24 and there is room for improvement do u think there is room for improvement for Magennis looking at his stats i wouldn't say so.

Lets not consider signing an international with good English and Scottish experience for free because.... reasons.

Simple he's not quality we were told we were signing quality do people actually know how many international players we have had and they Certainly don't fall under the quality banner just like Magennis.  Josh Magennis quality my god this place is going stark raving.

What quality do you expect.  There will be only one Naismith.  A regular contributor at international level is a decent signing in my opinion

A player is only quality if he performs for his team,we have signed many players who on paper look quality but it doesn't work out then we get guys like Mulraney who you think wtf and they develop,Magennis could cooe with playing for Hearts,Wighton and Shanacek cant.

 No we’ve not categorically ruled it out.

 

It’s all about definitions and my definition of hoofball is:-

 

Passing the ball about aimlessly before it being passed back to a defender or the goalie before being hoofed up the park regardless to whether there is any player or players of the same team in the area to which the ball has been hoofed.

 

Pretty much Leveins tactic I think.

 

Now what are all the sticks he can be beaten with?

 

 

 

So it’s proven that statistically we had the third lowest number of long/hoof balls last season. 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.

First of all see above and secondly if Lafferty hadn't done what he had done Magennis would've been nowhere near that game tonight.

41 caps so I don't buy that. 

 

Looking like a boo boy before the rumour even comes to fruition. 

 

People better than us rate him,  happy to be honest.  Agree to disagree  ?

At the end of the day, you believed the stores in The Sun about Uche being targeted by the Old Firm.

 

Josh Magennis only scored 4 goals in the Championship last season? Right, well Uche only scored 3 in a worse league. So your main point doesn't hold up there.

But we’ve all watched mcgennis in Scotland and we know for a fact he’s 100% pish, just like we were right when we signed Connor Sammon.. Mcgennis is an extremely limited played.. did he not score something like 20 in over 200 games in Scotland ??‍♂️ Would be funny if it really wasnt ?‍♂️

First of all it wasn't the sun that i heard Uche being targeted by the old firm but that's by do by either way, secondly do u actually go to games because if it hadn't escaped your attention Uche was out twice last season and we also lost his main strike partner but please yourself if u want to kid on that didn't happen ???

I’d take Connor Washington scored tonight for Northern Ireland and is a free agent after leaving QPR.

He'd be a good signing. 

And to be fair to Megennis, it was a deft finish for his goal.. :whistling:

That's not upto me to identify mate that's what the chief scout gets paid for and the manager and one things for sure i certainly don't think Magennis falls under the quality banner as was quoted by Craig Levein and i also think he would personally leave his self wide open having made the quality quote the jury would certainly be out in my opinion ?

And there's no extraordinary circumstances that might have hampered Magennis season? I heard Bolton are having a good time of it lately.

 

Also, I can 100% guarantee you that I watch more Hearts games than you do.

Anyone who saw the 2nd Northern Ireland goal tonight reckon they'd see a similar finish from Uche hasn't ever watched Uche play for Hearts.

18 goals in 2 seasons for Killie.

 

Any Hearts strikers in the last 3 seasons had a similar strike rate?

Pissing against the wind. 

 

Player, who is a current international(on par with ours) proven at our level, playing regularly in England. 

29 years old. 

 

Shite, apparently.

One rule for one, different rule for another, eh?

 

Imagine turning down a 41 cap striker (for a team performing well above their level) because of a different striker who doesn't score goals, but can "bully" defenders.

It culminates in a missed pass/or a successul interception/tackle far  more often than a hoof. Only Berra consistently hits it long.

 

We were playing pretty good stuff prior to the injuries.

 

The reason why Djoum is important to the team is he is the only player that can hang onto the ball and doesn't panic in possession.

I agree that Berra is the worst offender and you’re right about Djoum, but I don’t agree otherwise. Whatever else is wrong, we don’t give the ball away in dangerous areas that often. That’s because we tend to hoof it before it gets intercepted or given away in a bad area. 

 

Not a problem in itself, most teams at our level do to some extent. But a high % of short passes does not automatically = attractive, effective or progressive football, regardless of how many half-baked articles the Scotsman publish.

 

There is a chronic lack of pace and guile in the squad. Before the injuries, the good stuff we were playing was very heavily reliant on Uche being able to hold the ball up and bring others into play, and a good chunk (not all) of that was based on him receiving direct passes. Stats are only useful when applied in their proper context, and anyone watching can see that we are not a fluid or attractive team to watch and haven’t been for a while now.

A lot of very average players have had caps for countries like them, Wales, Scotland etc 

 

He is one such player.
