Bit harsh on Muirhead, Tzolis, Struna, Novak, Augustyn,kitchen, Callaghan & McLean to class them as duds .

Muirhead scored two tap ins against Rangers, was our worst player that night. Did absolutely nothing else, just been released by Dunfermline, the very essence of a dud.

Can you post your idea of a balanced squad for next season,  Feel free to include reasonable targetted rumours (max 3 or 4) eg Charlie Adam. Shankland.  If when you've finished you have players left over who are currently under contract can you let us know how you're going to get rid of them at an affordable cost.

I think Halkett is an excellent signing.

 

I also hope that we don't block the path of youngsters such as Cochrane, Irving, Conor Smith and Hickey.  By all means buy an established senior player as first pick but we don't need countless journeyman as back ups.

Good point. 

 

I think the young one will be used as back up more now and that hopefully a few impress. 

 

Probably the first year since admin where I'd expect to see that more, remember that most of these guys are 16-18, that's very young. 

 

That should mean less journeymen and allow a better quality of player to be bought. 

We couldn't do that before, tho- we simply had guys that were too young and some not good enough.

My mates is a Pars fan, he asked me if he was any good and I was brutally honest. He wasn’t really here that long, has all the attributes but something not quite right. He thinks he’s a forward, I think he will end up as a left back most likely.

CL has stated numerous times that, depending on the player, too much first team exposure can have a negative effect and that in most cases picking up a game here and there is the best way for them to develop without the pressure of performing week in week out at that age. With that in mind and the injuries we suffered last season then the so called journeymen are most definitely needed.

Any youngster that is genuinely going to make it,  should be claiming a first team spot on merit by the time they are 18/19.

 

Realistically if Cochrane is going to make it, the Hearts first team is actually the lowest standard of football he will be playing.

I take your point but there is a middle ground between over playing the kids and someone like Irving being blocked by Lee/Bozanic/Edwards.

 

Cochrane and Irving could probably have been used in rotation and Connor Smith is well worth a spot on the bench.

Steven MacLean was ****ing dreadful for large periods of the season. Anyone who disagrees didn’t watch Hearts past October. 

 

One good old performance in the cup final doesn’t change that. 

 

I wonder why that would be ? a 37 year old playing up front on his own without Uche creating space and Naismith playing alongside him, The fact that we tried to use him as a target man or the fact that we brought him into be squad player and he ended up starting every week. 

 

he was excellent when he had support around him, he obviously isn’t the long term option, not will be play every game, but he’s still an option in some games.

That period between the semi at Murrayfield and Naismith coming back into the team, he was ****ing horrendous. Not unlucky. Awful. 

 

He played well well in the cup final and the last game at Easter Road, I’ll give you that. But anyone who thinks he was at an acceptable level for much of the season last season didn’t watch an awful lot of Hearts. 

 

EDIT: Lot of goals. Seven goals in total. Including 3 against Cowdenbeath and Auchinleck. Sparkling. 

 

You’re entitled to your opinion but you come across rather angry so might want to tone it back a bit, it’s just a forum.

Right so you’ve missed the point completely, which isn’t surprising to be honest

Im not sure I would want any Hibs player to be honest, the point is most of them were on loan or short term deals.

That brings its own issues with rebuilds every year which is something hopefully we’re moving away from.

 

I’ve got a bigger issue with how to get the most out of the players we’ve got. Since Levein took over as manager I don’t think his recruitment has been as bad as folk are making out. Especially when you look at that list of Hibs. Both signed a lot of very average players.

Kamberi scored 8 goals in 33 games last season and played wide left a bit and cost less than Clare or Wighton.

Slivka has done ok for them, didnt know he started his career at Juve but not a dud.

Stokes was emptied after a few months so yes a dud but not too costly.

Whittaker definitely, 3 year deal, injury prone and we were after him before he went back there.

I'm sorry, but 2 goals (including one against a Junior side) in 2019 is not the return we should be expecting from any striker at Hearts. 37 years old and can only contribute when Steven Naismith is on the park. Should be binned. He's not good enough.

Indeed but they’ve not got the amount of average players on longer term deals, and they obviously got more from them than we did. 

You can never be sure about a player but we have given the likes of Uche and Haring new deals through the season when we realised their worth, shorter term deals are probably the future or at least a break clause after a year of a three year deal.

I would like us to be leading the way with deals, not saying it’s ok we’ve wasted money because everyone else has. To try and compete at the top of the league mistakes have to be rectified and minimised.

"Aaah but they aren't duds"

"Yeah three are duds but that was the point I was trying to make...."

 

Deary me - about as efficient as one of Lord's commandments.

His race was run the day he came off the park at Pittodrie in his immaculate white shirt.

 

 

I'm sorry, but 2 goals (including one against a Junior side) in 2019 is not the return we should be expecting from any striker at Hearts. 37 years old and can only contribute when Steven Naismith is on the park. Should be binned. He's not good enough.

 

 

 

Your own words, champ.

 

 

What Hibs do is irrelevant, though. We're not discussing their transfer record, we're discussing Hearts.

 

To be fair I meant the goals he scored were decent, but can see how it looked when I read it back. He didn’t score lots but the goals he did score were still goals and made a difference. Even coming on to score against Rangers when no one else could be bothered to turn up

Its funny reading folks comments at you who have their backs against the wall when disagreeing with you, or when you dismantle their poor effort at “facts”, or are showing themselves up big time, they come back with the same thing about Hibs winning the cup ??? talk about moon howling at its best eh

 

they talk all about it more than it’s ever mentioned by you, quite frightening really 

 

 

They talk about it more than hibs fans. ?
