Jason Holt was to be the next big thing and where’s he now? Sam Nicholson? Jordan McGhee? I’m not saying he won’t be a good player, but it’s madness to think we don’t need Olly Lee because we have Andy Irving based on 7 games for Hearts and a loan spell at relegated Falkirk. Ollie Lee is a League 2 maybe scraping League 1 player. Not a high bar for the kids to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan2012 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Levein says he is confident of Naisy staying and he has one more signing (assume Walker) and that’s it. Disappointed again as we still need another wide player, still lacking quality in midfield even though we have quite a few midfielders and we lack a really good goalie.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Must admit if Walker is the last I am disappointed. Quality winger was needed. Unless Zanatta has improved out of sight, its Mulraney Morrison and Zanatta. Washington is not a poacher type either. Nor have we looked at a playmaker type. We have a lot of players for sure but we are missing the quality that take us to Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavman81 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 He said 6/7 last season and we ended up with about 20 new players. He’s a wily old fox and will no doubt be keeping an eye on the market until the window closes. With the right forwards, last season’s midfield could potentially be a great blend with the addition of Cochrane and Irving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I think its difficult for Levein, Bobby is good enough not to need to replace, but we still probably should. Should be striving for continuous improvement and Zander Clark is there for the taking. Younger and more reliable. Its a no brainer. In terms of midfield, we have a lot of the young lads coming into the team now, Cochrane, McDonald, Irvine, Smith and thats not mentioning the experienced pro's in Bozanic, Haring, Lee, Clare, & Edwards. Thats a lot of CM's, especially given most variations will be Haring + Other. It seemed like our major difficulty last season was actually getting the ball in the ****ing net, I think with Washington, Naismith & Walker, we should have that quality in the final third. I am very worried though, because Naismith could well break down again, and we can't have the drive, character and determination he brings to the team suddenly disappear. I wonder if we could make room in the squad for Charlie Adam. To have made it to Liverpool and forged a career in the EPL takes a lot of drive and determination, hell... character. Given Lee is out still, I wonder if we could move Bozanic on and try and bring Adam in. We need leaders, and i think he is exactly that. A midfield 3 of Haring, Edwards and Adam would have plenty of quality and energy IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I feel we’re going with what we have unless we are forced to replace anyone in midfield that leaves. Firstly, in footballing terms I agree with the theory a manager needs time with players to progress and nurture. To chop and change seems pointless if players aren’t given time and it becomes costly if these guys are on 2 or 3 year deals and you try to bring in others on top of that...or, agree mutual terminations. Money just keeps frittering. But this is when the management have to live with it. Only Haring was probably the real success in midfield and he wasn’t even brought in as one. I also feel the management didn’t help the situ with the constant rotation that stemmed any rhythm players fought to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 He's said he's got one more signing to do and that with Naismith that would be effectively 5. That could read that he's got one more to complete, that's almost effectively done (Walker probably). He hasn't necessarily said that will be it or he won't look further etc. I'm sure if something comes up or Djoum goes then we'll sign at least one more.

cocobeab Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I’m upbeat and hopeful that on top of the additions at least one or two of those that didn’t exactly hit the heights can kick on after their first year settling in. Likes of Clare and Lee have shown in glimpses what they might offer and wouldn’t be the first players needing at least a season to settle and acquaint to the Scottish game.

Gav M Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Going on the fact that we know that levein has shown players other than walker around the training centre and tynecastle. We also know that levein only really talks about these things when he knows it's likely to happen. We may have more than naismith and walker to come.

Captain Canada Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hopefully we're still looking at another winger (as well as JW) and another striker. Milinkovic and Lee Erwin would be my choices. Moore, Zanatta, Morrison and Mulraney are the main options just now on the wing and I'd like a more experienced alternative. Washington and Uche look decent options up front, MacLean and Wighton aren't good enough and Keena is still untried at this level, although looks promising. We definitely have too many centre mids and a bit of an imbalance in the squad. Djoum, Edwards, Bozanic, Clare, Haring, Cochrane, Lee, C.Smith and Irving are 9 guys fighting for 2/3 places. And Naismith often plays in midfield too and Burns can play there as well apparently. Maybe we'll just loan out the three young guys though.
