boag1874 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Good news that they’ve all gone, frees up wages for a better player. Nothing against any of them but its just the way it is.

I would have played him on the opposite side as Mulraney tbh. Two pacy skilful wingers I think was a must with so little drive and creativity from central midfield. Means Clare isn’t pushed out wide either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hopefully we can get in some more useless players to replace them. We've replaced sammon with Vanecek which is a great signing for our sideline XI, Aidy White has potential but I still expect our amazing scouting network to bring in some expensive dross over the next couple months.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Too much disrespect for Hughes, he has given a decent couple of years service and John Souttar has said publicly how he was very influential on his development. Souttar is now Hearts best player so I think folk should show a bit more respect for a top pro and a good guy who is well liked at Hearts, Aaron Hughes. Maybe we will welcome him back as a coach one day, if he’s looking to keep playing he could do a job for an Inverness, Dundee or Dundee United in the championship looking to help their young players improve and get promoted. Look at Don Cowie he was starting to look past it for Hearts but was a good signing for Ross County this season playing 29 games, shows you the difference it makes being down at that level. Thank you for your service Mr Aaron Hughes and good luck. As for the others, good riddance. Sammon has to go down as the worst signing of the Budge era. He’s up there with Beniusis and Witteveen. Mitchell has a very questionable mentality and Shaugnessy could be OK but is nowhere near Dunne, Souttar, Halkett. If Hearts have a chance to get Dunne back we should go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky jamboa Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Its actually quite annoying to think of how much money we've wasted on players, in particular, guys like sammon, Martin and now seemingly vanacek. Good to see sammon finally off the wage bill but ridiculous we have another year of paying big wages to Martin and is it 3 more years for vanacek? Nuts!

Jammy T Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Even I slated the signing of Sammon. He’s had 15 good games of form in his entire career entirely propped up by another player - Eremenko. The amount of chances he missed at the start of his first season with us essentially saw us pumped from Europe and drop 5 to 10 points in the league.

He definitely would have helped, but with him being out, we were forced to see more of what we had in guys like Mulraney, Burns, Hickey etc. All players owned by us. When you're rebuilding a team, I prefer to use your own players that you can keep around long term. No point in builidng a team with loan players having key roles, because you just have to reset next season. Possibly a blessing in disguise.
