tazhearts Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Do most players contracts not run up to the end of June? If that's the case then I can't see much happening until the beginning of July. Assuming we are predominantly shopping in the free agent market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 2 hours ago, portobellojambo1 said: It has been different to a number of windows in the recent past, in as much as excluding Halkett, who was effectively tie up before the season finished there have been no other arrivals yet. It could raise questions along the lines of are we giving more consideration to who we want, are we speaking to players but not convincing them, etc. etc. I read a link on a Hearts SC Facebook page saying that we are targeting 3 strikers still to come in. I do think a bit more depth in the squad would help but would also hope the people we are looking at are players who are better than we have in the positions we are looking to fill, so we can only really wait and see how it unfolds (it ain't long now until the competitive season starts again and HMFC won't be the only club looking to recruit, in fact there hasn't really been an awful lot of incoming business involving Scottish clubs). There may be a bit of wishful thinking in this but I think we're probably this window targeting players that are potentially more in demand from other clubs, and therefore having to wait longer for them to decide what their best option is, whereas in previous years, we've probably been the obvious best option (both financially and in terms of size of club, level of football, etc) for a lot of our targets as soon as we approached them. It's frustrating, but on the whole I think a better situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said he was after 3 attacking players which could have included 1 or even 2 attacking MFs. My guess would be 2 strikers and 1 attacking MF but that may change depending on what happens with Djoum. In view of the dross CL has signed as a manager and as DOF, I wouldn’t get too excited.

Jamhammer Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 7 hours ago, ToqueJambo said: This. Martin out, Walker in. All of a sudden we have a proven attacking midfielder at a good age. Who hasn't played 90 mins for ages and has had injury issues. Who also dropped his breeks when the club formally known as Rangers made their interests known. Like any signing we’d know if it’s a good one after the first round of fixtures. Or in some people’s minds after the first 5 mins of the first game. FTFY. He's as much a risk as any signing. I liked him but he definitely fits into the meh category of signings. I'm never sure about going back to players who've been here before.

In view of the link below (if true) I suspect JW may be one of the 3. Why I think CL meant attacking MFs included, is that if we got 3 out-and-out strikers that would be Uche, MacLean, Keena and the three. We'd be overladen with them all. https://www.wiganathletic.com/news/2019/june/pre-season--day-one-in-pictures-wigan-athletic-sky-bet-championship-2019-20/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone pays attention to social media. He attracted attention from a bigger club - good for him - who unsettled him and then they let him down by not wanting to pay a fair fee.

daftie Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I’ve openly admitted I’m a Levein fan, but reading this has left me feeling slightly deflated. Neither of our keepers are good enough IMO. Both are solid decent keepers, but both have an error in them. When you consider the other keepers in the league, for me, we have keepers who are 6/7th best in league, which isn’t good enough. For me all these keepers are better than our 2. It worries me because if he is saying these 2 are good enough, it makes you wonder just how many other players he will say the same about. I just hope we’re not settling for mediocrity. Goalkeeper is such an important position, Bobby and Doyle can play a few games looking great, but then make a clanger. You have to rely on a keeper, and they are not solid/ reliable enough for me. If Bobbys decision making was better fair enough, but I don’t know if all of a sudden you are really going to change a 33/34 yr old keepers game by now.

Perhaps only McGregor has really shone this season. The Dundee Utd keeper -Seagrist - has stood out over the okay off games so will be interesting to see him in a few weeks.
