I never mentioned his goal scoring and I'm not sure he even played much in Greece. 

 

I remember him being nothing special at Southampton think they let him go on loan actually. 

 

Anyway this isn't comparing them as players, rather the situation. 

 

And part of my view is based on baggage - what baggage did Rudi have?

That Belfast journo must be blind - Washington and Lafferty are nothing like each other in style of play.

THink he was talking about the fact they both play the flute !!!;)

I assume everyone else has noticed the longer we take to conclude a signing the worse the player is aye?

 

Oshinawa = 2 month, absolute toilet

Vanecek = 5 months, cold bucket of shite

Beslija = 12 months of arguing with Genk, worse than your dug dying on Christmas day

 

Therefore if we can nab Washington within the 3 or 4 days, then scientifically I'm saying the boy is PotY material. :cool:

 

Had to tell you, we've spent two years on the Halkett signing and a lot of time on the White signing.

And Levein will now have to find a way to replace Lafferty after his 20-goal campaign last season.

But the Jambos boss joked there was at least one positive to the loss of the 30-year-old.

Speaking to the BBC ahead of Hearts' clash with Kilmarnock, he laughed: "The average IQ of the squad has gone up, that's for sure.

Lafferty's never had a 20-goal campaign in his puff and never will!

Not sure what instruments they play in Kent really, where Washington is from.

 

Spoons? 

 

I know, this has been amusing me. He plays for NI, but the boy is English and proper Southern English at that. @Portobello Hearts has probably visted Ulster more than this lad.

On the other hand, I’m hearing we plan to wait until Monday to announce his signing to please the more, erm, traditional elements of our support..,

Geoff got Garruccio quite a bit wrong IMO.

 

But **** me if Geoff is excited about a player and admits it on here then it’s a game changer.

What did he say? 

 

Iirc he said garruccio was pretty average and better going forward than defending. Which would be a good summary of him so far at Hearts.

Oh I can’t remember the precise words but something like he is absolutely woeful in a really poor quality league.

 

Garruccio proved he was way better than that with us - I agree with you, not perfect but room for improvement from a decent starting point.

Garuccio is an awful defender. Nothing he showed last season caused me to deviate from that.

How has he done for them?  I know they have generally done well over the last 5-6 years.

He's been good. As I said earlier, I like his directness and willingness to run at defenders. He isn't an out and out striker but he has been used as a lone striker in away games.

So his highlight reel is actually an accurate one for a change? He looked very, very direct and confident in that - exactly what we need.

We can only really properly tell if we sign both Washington and Lafferty. 

 

I'd be in favour of a Jon Stark Matchwinner for Hire contract for Lafferty just for Celtic games.

Can only imagine how bad Zlat Knight is going to be for us when he signs.

Spends most his time asking for info from people about signings hanging off their coat tails, then has the audacity to slate dazajambo who has a proven track record now he's posting ITK info as his own ?????

I think @Geoff Kilpatrick got Garruccio spot on, myself.

Not good enough, squad player at best.

 

Other than having a decent dead ball, he aint very good.

I dunno what’s worse...

 

Agentjambo poorly pretending to be ITK, desperate for some internet backslaps?

 

Posters like yourself, with a Carole Ann Boone esque fascination with Daza, cheerleading/internet white knight protecting him from anyone that dare question him?

 

Or Daza himself...got 1 prediction correct god knows how long ago, amongst a multitude of other predictions (throw enough mud, some of it’s bound to stick)...he has ‘sources’ dontcha know!

 

For the record, I enjoy people posting rumours/gossip, however when the start posting them as fact (such as brazenly posting players salaries, or saying with absolute conviction they know what was said at a board meeting/senior management meeting...or a player ‘will’ sign), then they’ve entered internet lunatic territory (massively desperate to appear important to people they don’t know, all with a view to making themselves feel good about themselves).

 

Tell me more about this fabled track record Daza has by the way...I’m interested to hear?

Who would you play ahead of him at left back? Given squad player guess he would be your 2nd or 3rd choice left back at the club. Who are the players ahead of him?

Struggling to type as your eyes get all misty at the sound of ‘Daza’?

 

Must be seriously, seriously pish for an adult to get star struck over some random person online...simply because they believe they’re ITK about a football team!

 

Laughable in fact.

 

Anyway, back on topic...hopefully Washington signs, a forward with a bit of pace is definitely required.

that's not my point.

my point is we need a better player than him.

Hopefully White will be that player, I don't want to over burden Hickey (who is certainly better).

Burns, I got roasted for saying he will never be good enough, hopefully be proved wrong. Doubt it.

 

I did wish for Wallace.

Can see Conor exciting the fans with his pace. Badly needed up top

Goals are badly needed up top as well. I hope Scottish football proves to be the place where he adds regular scoring to his far from impressive stats recently. I hope also we are still looking for the ideal finisher to play off Uche or Washington if he signs.

Burns needs to be played in his correct position which isn't left back
