If the world and their auntie know we are really looking out for further players prices go up and he gets inundated with agents flogging players when he is busy trying to get pre season sorted I also have to laugh - too many players last season. Not enough this season - even though it is looking like 5 ? We’re not buying any players though so the price doesn’t go up. They’re free transfers, it’s all just a case of arranging personal terms with the unattached player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Djoum who arrived and the Djoum now, it's like two different players quality wise. But anyway with a new deal he may be the original Djoum, and if so then we have a player Correct. The Djoum now is a 20 times capped Cameroon International who is currently playing at the African Cup of Nations. Not sure if you thinking Djoum is easily replaced or that he can be replaced by Jamie Walker is more hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never felt we didn't compete in the middle, what hurt us was quality in the final third. You can replace Djoum easy. Never shots, never creates and floats about every once in a while putting a foot in, look at at the Livi game at Almondvale to sum him up, 5-0 down and he didn't give a jot. If he gets a new deal fine I think he's at the stage of his career now where hes ready to show commitment to a team and then you'll have a player, but if not that's life and we move on Djoums not easy replaced ffs. Quite clearly some folk on here don’t have a clue. He was our 2nd best player last season after Naismith and our best midfielder by light years. Rated by his teammates, his manager, other clubs players and managers and one of the best midfielders to ever play the game, Clarence Seedorf. But not by a few clueless flutes on Kickback it seems. ?

Going into the season with central midfield options of: Haring Lee Bozanic Cochrane Irving leaves us way short of experience and quality. Not sure I overly agree with that. Haring is an excellent all round midfielder and each of the others listed are very good ball players, each with differing qualities (and weaknesses). Haring plus one. The issue is if we lose Haring. Don't underestimate how hard a year it was for our midfielders last season with little up top, different fullbacks every week and no link between them and the (non) striker. With Smith and White at FB outside them, Naismith, Washington, Walker all in front and around them and Uche creating space and battering up top, our 2 CMs need to take the ball and play simple next year, they've got support now. The 2nd CM won't even have loads of ball winning to do as Haring is so good at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Peter Haring is a centre back, just putting that out there. The argument that he was, which he was, our best midfielder shouldn’t ignore the fact that he was signed to play at the back. I’d like to see someone replace Djoum and someone to cover Haring, just to be safe. I don’t understand the folk championing Cochrane to start seeing game time as he hasn’t done anything to merit it. He defo has potential but he hasn’t shown anything to suggest he should be starting every week and I defo wouldn’t let potential signings pass by on the hope that cochrane steps up. I’d move Bozanic on and potentially one of Lee or Edwards. We need competition for places, not people stagnating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 10 hours ago, rudi must stay said: What I would do though, if the budget allows is bring in a defensive midfielder on a short term contract. Haring would be a big loss for us right now and that hurt us as much as Naismith being out did IMO Agreed. Someone in the mould of Adao who could slot in to break up play would be good. It's something Djoum does better at than he is credited for and if he goes and Haring was out we'd miss that in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a really decent window so far, if I was being greedy I'd want a winger in however McDonald could well be ready to kick on Agree Though with Walker coming in there is also Mulraney and Morrison and perhaps Zanatta perhaps thinks that is enough.

Taffin Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Would be a mindless signing. Hasn't cut it at our level or lower English league level. Seems a total bellend too. If we want someone who'll need managed closely then Lafferty is a much better bet. At least he's proven he can do it at this level and has never (to my knowledge) bad mouthed Hearts. My thoughts are we're better off without either but at least one of the has the ability on the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
