Beast Boy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 1 minute ago, Hercules said: I know you’ll find this hard to believe, I never want a Hearts player to fail, but I still fail to see what he offers ? People say he’ll come good when he’s next to certain players. It’s up to him to show something. If he was next to a solid defensive player and he got sent off, do we sub Clare ? I think that’s a really harsh and hardline way of looking at what I’m trying to say tbh. You get players who are good at everything - they are too expensive for us. You get players who are very good allrounders - we can get them when they break through, or are winding down their careers. You get players who are outstanding at attacking/midfielding/defending/goalkeeping - we can produce them and keep them long enough to play about a season at a stretch, and we can bring them in at the end of their careers. You then have a multitude of players who are fair to middling at various things, and sometimes really good at some things in amongst it all - those are the guys that we need to fit in to the squad in order to get the best from their good qualities, whilst compensating for their not so great qualities. For me, Clare offers game intelligence, reading of the game, and the ability to grab a goal or an assist. In order for us to see the benefit of those qualities, we need to arrange the first team in such a way that he has players who compliment those skills. all imo. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And win most battles too Too slow, legs have gone, passing is terrible. Just a few of the comments from Villa fans.

TyphoonJambo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 19 minutes ago, Flappy Hands said: I hope he signs for us and proves to be an influential player. I'd rather we take a chance on him than not take a chance on him! At 35 years of age though, there's always going to be an element of doubt for me. If he can still do a job in the championship, why is he not in talks with a championship side? I recognise that our league isn't that standard but you've still got to do a lot of running! Joey Barton came here late in his career and look what happened there. Different situation, Barton was, and still is, a grade A ***** who signed for (i have no idea what the collective for ***** is 😕) cuntsville. Were considering a model pro signing for a club rapidly setting the standards im Scottish football and playing in the best city in Scotland. A bit like comparing knob cheese with a fine cheddar.

He's a grade A ****** but he was still a very good footballer that came from a championship team. There's been others, i'm sure they had a northern irish international defender that was in his mid 30's that flopped, Then there's senderos who was only about 31.

He's 36 in January apparently, so i totally get where you're coming from. But, let's give him the benefit of the doubt until we see how he does in Scotland. As i said earlier, it's meant to only be a 1 year deal, Not much of a risk. He's only cover for Haring. We'd all love us to sign a top class 25 year old with 88 international caps who will be with us for 3 years but that's no affordable unfortunately. Hopefully Ann sorts our scouting network out and we can find some more peter harings in the next window.

But this league is played at a very fast pace, you're closed down quickly, you don't get much time on the ball. Not sure that will suit him, especially if he's getting towards the end of his career.

I didn't say it was slow, I said I don't think it's as fast as up here. Players have a bit more time on the ball down there, and to make a pass. Up here, you get closed down quicker, and the second ball becomes more important. It doesn't suit a lot players when they arrive here, they can't handle it, or the physicality.
