jambogemz Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 2 hours ago, Mr Elwood P said: Levein said three forwards. Naismith & Walker are all but confirmed. The defence is sorted. The only real questions are who the striker will be and if Djoum is being replaced. Djoum might stay or if he goes Levein might decide to let Cochrane, Smith and Irving battle it out for game time in the midfield. Yeah I'd like to see the young lads you mention get that kind of confidence vote plus it's the only way they will really develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these posters are actually supporters (which for the majority, I doubt), do they remember where our club was, almost extinct, and consider where we are now? They constantly ruin threads by going on and on about Levien and Mrs Budge. We, even in recent memory, have struggled both on and off the field massively in comparison we are now. We have been a much, much poorer side than we are currently. Granted, last season was average but that's what following the club is about. We're still rebuilding. We are actually in the best position as a club than we have been in my lifetime. Those idiots who scream for Budge to leave are either thick or in my opinion, unhappy she's trying to stop the bigotry nonense which in my experience, affects them most. Can I ask those posters, do they realise Budge saved the club, literally? Also, how long have they supported Hearts? It can't be that long if you think we're poor now. Either that or they have short memories...or just trolls. A semi final and a SC final, albeit whilst finishing 6th in the league, is not a diaster. People should realise how much we have come on as a club, and actually start backing it. Can the admin not start banning people if they don't adhere to this? These people are Hearts fans, have season tickets, contribute to the FoH, really do care. They may have different views to you but hey, it's a message board to exchange views. I'm sure in truth you don't really believe they should be banned, where do you stop? Edited June 25, 2019 by Jodami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry hippo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Washington had a big reputation when he signed for QPR and is still a good age. Would be an interesting signing. Don't know him well enough to judge how well he'd do for us but would be excited to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocobeab Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If all of Naismith, Walker and Washington come through, adding to Halkett and White and the departure of Sammon, Martin and Vanecek then I’d say it’s been a quietly efficient close season so far. Especially if we keep Djoum and Souttar and can blood likes of Cochrane, Smith, Hickey and Irving a little more this year. Makings of a good squad provided mainstays keep clear or injury. Glass half full type of guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same story at Rangers as well. Funny how the media (Stewart in particular) are all over our inner workings and yet teams signing players without a manager in place, like Hibs did after Lennon left, don’t get any similar scrutiny.

Possibly their failure at Hibs is more to do with the manager. 350k is a lot of money, however we paid 250k for Wighton. Personally I know where I’d have spent the money. However if you believe that he’s pony, come back and speak to me on the eve of the season and we can look at a half century charity wager. "Collins and Doyle had decent careers in England after they left Hibs" Yes, Vaz Te and Clayton Donaldson too. I detect a pattern. I'll reserve the right to slag off Hibs signings on a Hearts forum and believe we have better players, including Wighton thanks! Especially when they have such previous on signing English lower league strikers for silly money. Conor Washington for nothing sounds a better deal but what do I know about English football?

If we get those attacking players then yeah, midfield needs strengthening. Cochrane might play 20-25 of the 40 plus games, maybe 30 next season. Still developing. Irving might get 15 or so but we need to replace Djoum with someone of the same presence and calibre. Naisy can drop in to midfield with Walker coming back. I’d love us to sign Skinny too. Then we’d have a strong bench as well, which is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Walker, Washington and Naismith sign centre mid is definitely the weakest area of the team. If Djoum decides to stay we would be looking really really good.

Its a complete myth that Adam is unfit. Even if he was only 90% of his peak he has the quality to be our central midfielder and with the addition of Washington, Halket, and Walker we are adding experience and quality. I dont think well get Adam but if we did it would be a great bit of business and the end to a tremendous window. All in my own personal opinion mind.

Not sure how much Levein cares about squad numbers , I’m sure he was savage and took the number 8 off Stevie Fulton in his last season. Think the rumours about him leaving plus ‘losing’ or changing squad number might add up to something. Could even be as simple as wanting a new number after getting injured and missing the cup final or more unlikely Clare wearing the wrong shorts .
