If the plan is to play Clare in Djoums position we are worse of than we were. Hopefully we free up Lees wage and have a player already in waiting. I don’t like the idea of us starting the season as we are minus djoum and lee. It can take time especially with English or European based players. Contracts have just ended and a range of other considerations including a chain of transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J80MBO Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Painfully slow and lethargic, covered little ground on the pitch, poor passer, scared to tackle, didnt score, didnt create goals. Can you explain what I missed? I heard this nonsense every week on here how good this guy was and purposely made point to look out for these performances for the last 6 months of season...THERE WAS NOT ONE GOOD PERFORMANCE.

How will he be difficult to replace? We barely won a game when he played. He got bossed in Edinburgh derbies, had a shite shot and never got stuck in - never. In the way that I disagree that he got bossed in derbies and never got stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Glad to see the back of him to be honest, a total under achiever who hid in the most important games of the season, let's hope we use the money wisely to bring in someone who actually gets stuck in and is able to graft. I reckon that will free up more game time for Cochrane, and we'll also bring in a midfielder as well, although of what quality I've no idea, and it scares me a little given his track record lately.

It is good that we have clarity now and focus on getting a replacement but it will not be straightforward. We’ve brought in several midfielders over the past few years (Lee, Bozanic, Martin, Kitchen) and the only one in the same league as Djoum is Haring. Agree lee, bozanic etc not good enough but to say djoum was a "consistent performer" is crazy hahaha were you joking?...unless you mean consistently poor!

Taffin Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Liked Djoum. Good player and seemed a good guy. All the best to him. We now absolutely must sign a starting central midfielder. We weren't great there last season as it was and now we only have Haring who I'd deem good enough to be first choice week in week out.

amadjambo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I’ve been a huge fan of Djoum. Quality player in our league. But the minute I read that he’d been flashing his knickers at Aberdeen was the end for me. Time to get someone in that actually wants to play for Hearts.

Gregorski Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Good player on his day. However, we've previously found a way to move on from the likes of Colin Cameron, Paul Hartley, Neil McCann, Rudi Skacel, David Weir, Alan McLaren, Gary Naismith, Tosh McInlay, Mike Galloway, David McPherson, Craig Gordon, Eammon Bannon (if you want to go back that far), Calum Paterson and Mark De Vries deciding to leave for pastures new and I suspect that it will be the case this time around also.

Flimsy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Mulumbu would be a step up from Djoum. He's a class act.

Central Belt 1874 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 35 minutes ago, busby1985 said: He said his goodbyes at the post cup final BBQ at tynie. I really rated Djoum, I also rate Lee, just think they’ve suffered from the lack of balance in the side and lack of a proper style and footballing philosophy. Time on the ball and the right players around them and we could’ve seen them reach their potential. We now need 2 quality midfielders as the thought of a midfield of Cochrane, Clare or Bozanic is worrying. Let’s also not forget that our best midfielder is a centre back. Good post, however I think Lee is well below the standard of a top 3 or 4 team in Scotland. Maybe, like you say, if we had quality around the midfield then guys like Djoum and Lee could be utilized in a different way. As it stands the midfield is really weak. Hopefully some players come in who have the desired work ethic to go along with the skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Had some very good games for us. Clearly didn't want to be here though unless he had to, so can't say i'm particularly bothered to see him go if he's away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valois No1 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 With Levein confirming that the club are happy for lee to go, we must now sign another midfielder whether lee stays or not as clearly he wants go or is deemed not good enough in the first place.

Olly Lee Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Well that's done then. Djoum was OK, I do actually think he worked hard but he always had a misplaced pass in him and seemed to have a habit of giving the ball away in key moments. Maybe if he'd had a clear run with injury we would have seen the best of him, but it didn't happen and that's life. FWIW, I don't think Mulumbu is a goer. He went to Killie because of his connection with Clarke and probably took a wage cut to help his pal out. Why would he do the same for us?

Replacing him will not be straightforward. tbf our midfield hasnt exactly been great in the time Djoum was here, and Aberdeen offering him a contract will be the same as the interest he supposedly had from France, England Cyprus and who knows where else. His Agent has played the game and got him a decent deal in Saudi (if true) no doubt using our offer as a bargaining chip. If he had offers from elsewhere he wouldnt play in Suadi unless the money was stupid in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
