Striker is in fact one of the few positions I've never seen him play for Hearts Zanatta is a striker that has been played out of position in the first team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulus Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hopefully this means more game for McDonald. I guess the frustrating part for a few of the youngsters is that they seem to get the odd turn in the team then disappear off the radar for a while. Would really like to see McDonald get a good run, at least more appearances off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 People wanting Celtic to buy Uche. Bunch of knee-jerk short memories right there. You expect him to be brilliant every game? If he was he would be playing at a different level. Look at the EPL (I’m sure most whiners watch it more than Hearts) there’s players like Lukaku, Sanchez, Ozil, David Luiz etc being labelled useless and huddies. Form is not a guarantee. The level of expectation from some of our fans is at best unrealistic and at worst utterly moronic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of expectation from some of our fans is at best unrealistic and at worst utterly moronic. Like the majority of our players if they were all that so to speak they wouldn't be with us, out of our price bracket. As you say we need to buy a player with certain traits and hope we can make him better. Uche has certain qualities but has deficiencies. But the qualities he does have can be great for the team at times. I personally still like the option that he brings and hope we can bring him onto a game. The whole Levein thing and if him and his staff can develop and bring the best out of players is a separate issue for me. But as u say I get uche hasn't started well but I think there is at his age still bags of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1998 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hope we dont get rid of too many, team with the injuries we have will soon be too weak if we do. One or two players a game get injured Souttar/Naismith/Smith/Pereira/Walker in the first 3/4 games added to Haring and Garuccio to name 2 of the longer ones (That's 7 players and probably more) We have a horrendous time at the moment on the injury front, be interesting how different in squad size we are to last year (8 players in and at least 8 out (Sammon/Martin/Djoum/Hughes/Vanecek/Godinho/Zanatta and the loans to Demi and Shaughnessey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything for you....... We should look to offload Zlamal, Bozanic, Lee and McLean. None of whom shall be anything more than bit-part players for whatever is remaining on their contracts. We can make it clear we won’t be paying off these guys but their chances of first team football will be extremely limited. This may well force them to bite the bullet and move. I doubt we’ve paid off Dario Zanatta so there is very recent evidence that it can be done. As for players coming in..... I don’t have at hand a list of players available position by position but you can bet your last quid the club will have an idea. We need someone to battle out the big CF position with Uche. We also need an upgrade on Mulraney as whilst he has improved he’s still not exactly something for right backs across the country to fear.

We could of course just pay up their contracts but if we're going to do that anyway we're just as well holding on to them in case of need. Yes/No? I think you'll find Zanatta moved because Partick wanted him and I'm sure HMFC weren't too difficult to deal with. Somebody wanted him and it suited him! I didn't think you'd have a list at hand but how do you know we didn't try to get players that might been on it? There's no good rambling on about what we need if you have no ideas and we may not have the spare dosh to do something about it anyway.

All of the players I’ve mentioned would get another club. I doubt their options are Hearts or absolutely nothing. Just because we don’t know exactly who will take them off our hands doesn’t mean there is nobody. We signed them...or are we some sort of unique institution that signs players nobody else in the world would want ? If Steven McLean is made available he’d have a club within the week imo. Also.... I don’t know who should be the leader of South Korea but my guess is it probably shouldn’t be Kim Jong and there will be better options out there. Same stands for the players I’m suggesting we find alternatives to. I may not have names but as sure as shit there will be options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The squad is short on cover? Really? Three keepers, two right backs, three left backs, four centre backs, five centre mids, five wingers when Walker is fit and Meshino signs, and six forwards including Wighton. Back up players aren't going to be as good as the starters unless you have Man City-like resources. To say this Hearts squad doesn't have depth is nuts. It's as strong as it's been for years.
