RustyRightPeg Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Seemed to have an eye for a player from the lower leagues in his native land. As said previously though, not sure how much dosh we'll have at our disposal to lure these players. The more worrying part is actually, if we were to go one in one out, who do we have that is worth a decent whack bar Souttar that would give us funds? I suspect this may have been part of the deal to get him here, the guarantees in January. This is the part I'm looking forward to, seeing how this plays out.

rudi must stay Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 A commanding centre back (passing ability would be a bonus).

gashauskis9 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) If he swings the Axe, I’ll quite happily carry it for him. My player loyalties are gone. Unless these players (and I include the experienced and established players as well) double their standards, double their physical and mental fitness and double their effort/passion, then in my eyes they should no longer have the honour of wearing the jersey and taking a wage from us. Nothing would please me more than to see Stendel take a young, inexperienced Hearts team up the table, thus outperforming those who we’ve relied on too heavily and have rushed back off the treatment table for the sake of stopping the rot. They’re all expendable now, not one of them makes a difference when it matters. Couldn’t give a shit if Smith and Whelan are holding their own internationally, they can’t cut it against the dregs of the Scottish Premiership and that’s what they get paid good money to do.

Get much more out of him when we play balls he can run on to and in behind back lines. Pretty sure Stendel will make him better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Players available in January are generally not playing for a reason. It's not a great window for picking up anyone and we have had our fingers burned badly before. I would happily sign no one, stay up and plan for next season. Targeting the right out of contract players and moving players on in the medium term is the strategy I would like to see us adopt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) GK - Zlamal actually looks the best of the bad bunch RB - Smith a target for English clubs according to one poster. CB x 2 - Dikamona and Berra can’t be considered good enough LB - Hickey apart.....we don’t have one. RM/RW - we don’t have anyone good enough to hurt teams CM - we don’t have a playmaker....nobody to make a killer pass. LM/LW - see RM/RW CF - we need a couple of mobile forwards who can score goals Pretty sure this is what I said in the summer though.

Debut 4 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 As a couple of other posters have said a mobile midfielder who likes to get in the box and a decent finisher. While this thread is specifically about players it can’t be ignored how a more positive system and mindset should help the team and some individuals to be more effective.

AlimOzturk Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 He will need at least two years to sort this IMO. We simply do not have the cash to pay off all our first team playere so we will need to gradually phase them out over time. So fans will need to patient. But I doubt they will be and the first run of bad results they will jump on Stendals back no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
