It should have been ten Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Have a mate from Manchester who is a season ticket holder at Old Trafford and says the Pereira is class.

You answered my point, Now we have to get them playing as a team, surely that is what the summer is for? of course, you are right, that’s the ideal, but... Damour, Pereira, Whelan and (hopefully) Meshino are all happening after the English premiership transfer window closed and that may have had a bearing on why these guys have chosen to come to us now. We don’t know. I’m delighted that we are getting this calibre of player....a major step up IMO... from the level we’ve been at since Romanov. So, I prefer to celebrate that rather than worry about the less-than-ideal timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 An absolutely cracking signing for us. Seen his development while coming through at United and he is a top keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 12 hours ago, siegementality said: No. I’m slating his transfer strategy - such as it is - which was wrong. He underestimated the depth and quality of the squad. Now his arse is hanging out the window due to a series of shit results he is trying to sign his way out of the position he had put himself in. I’m slating him for not recognising that the two keepers we had are shit. I’ll go further and slate him for giving one of said shit keepers a one year extension to his contract. Levein is a lucky man. Budge - for reasons best known to her - is pulling out all the stops to allow him to try and turn around the mess that he - not Cathro - has made of the footballing department. He’s squandered money left, right, and centre, and is now running around trying to fill in the gaps that are there because of his piss poor signings, or that he failed to recognise. That said, all is apparently fine though. There are people on here who actually believe this was all part of the Levein masterplan. What he said publicly, to press, Hearts TV, etc, was all lies. It was just a part of his cunning plan to kid people on, while all the time he was targeting players that no-one else appears to want anyway. He does like a good laugh eh. Where do I start. The quality of player he is signing does not look like someone "running around trying to fill gaps" I'm sure Levein and his team have been actively looking at players long before the end of last season, never mind the start of this one. I'd much rather we did our business in private rather than mouthing off to the press that we're going to sign this player and that player. Agreed, Levein has been given a lot of leeway, but maybe a bit of stability is what's needed. A lot of people (wrongly) called for Neilson's head. They got their wish and look how that turned out.

Yeah, do we want a player with no other offers who brings his own pen he's that desperate for a club or someone with options and offers who takes their time - and still decides after reviewing all their options that Hearts is the club for them. Ok, we've started poorly but the recruitment this window has been top notch in every way. Whether Levein lasts the season as manager or not, he's done more than enough to cement his position as DoF. Everything is in place for a good season. Levein will know himself it's time to quit if he cannot build a very competitive team from this squad.

We've looked a shambles in game time for months now and talk of a lack of confidence 2 games in is not only worrying but quite frankly laughable.

Bunny Munro Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Bobby changed after the clanger in the semi. Came back strong last season but I think the penalty in the final (I don't blame him for that but I know others do, and he probably does himself) may have knocked him back again. He needs a spell out of the side, and it looks like Doyle will be no 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Time out for Bobby to work on his game. Same with Sean Clare potentially. Whatever you think of Levein, he really doesn't mess about if he thinks a change is needed or a player isn't up to scratch. Has his "project" players and favourites like any manager, but he seems very ruthless when push comes to shove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
