Victorian Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Having players like Damour, Haring (when back), Naismith and Whelan (if signing) will help Walker, Clare, Mulraney and Washington by a massive amount. The more quality, experience and guile the better. Smith and Hickey will also benefit hugely. Damour and Whelan, or just Damour with Haring will make us much, much more racey in attack.

Taffin Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 2 hours ago, Whatever said: I mean I like Haring an that but Jesus. Whelan would instantly become our best midfield player should he sign. Including Damour. Naismith is, was and will be a much better player than Glenn Whelan 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 5 hours ago, Gashauskis9 said: Whilst I can see why folk might criticise Clare’s ability/output, to question his attitude is beyond comprehension. He never hides and at least tries to do stuff on the ball. What’s more, the man clearly loves this club and is incredibly humble towards the management and support. Clare has been handed the Djoum baton and some. Ridiculous. The irony is that both the players I’ve just mentioned practically carried us for months last year! With Damour and possibly Whelan to come in, I’m certain (isn’t a whim or fan boy mentality) that he’ll be Hearts POTY material this season. These players will give him the freedom to operate in a more attacking role where he is best suited and he’ll be up there with Naismith in the goals/assists. Hope so. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 What do you reckon? I say we could put two different teams on the field now that would challenge some of our first XI teams during the past 6-7 years. When have we ever had a squad that had a volume of players of the quality and/or experience of : Smith, Hickey, White, Berra, Souttar, Halkett, Damour, Haring, Clare, Mulraney, Walker, Naismith, Washington. Add Dikamona, Bozanic, Garuccio, Burns, Brandon,Ikpeazu, MacLean, Cochrane, McDonald, Irving, Smith, Morrison, Keena, Zanatta, Currie + others.

The encouraging thing is that we were still after Whelan despite signing Damour, so the funds are clearly there to bring in another decent quality player. I'd now prefer that we target a new goalie. The goalkeeping position is more and more looking like the weak link in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I pointed out earlier Clare has only played 8 more first team matches than Irving in his career due to an unusual route into professional football. Do you think we should persist with Irving? If so, then why isn’t Clare afforded the same amount of leeway since they’re both young players learning their trade and developing their talent?
