Ribble Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 25 minutes ago, Smith's right boot said: I remember that game. I also remember the dirt touch of the recipient, Ben G. I think the poster meant his passing was/is generally safe, I don't recall him setting much up or assisting much. I agree, he doesn't carry the ball much and make penetrating passes. He's a good defensive midfielder. His passing is Ok for that role. Good team player, strong, good in the air, reads the game well. But he is a safe passer of the ball. That’s exactly the point I was making, forward passes can be safe too, I never said his passing was bad, simply that if you are listing Harings best attributes then passing is way down the list compared to his energy, ball winning and Ariel threat!

But now Arbroath are in showing Dundee up, it wouldn't surprise if Dundee come back being more accommodating of our original demands.

With Stendel discussing being so involved in transfers I personally wouldn’t expect anything until next week if at all. Tonight’s game, training, analysis and preparation for Rangers will take precedence over the coming days. And with no signing admin work done on weekends it’ll be next week I’d say. Curious as to who it may be as he obviously has players in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts007 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 11 hours ago, Newton51 said: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish-championship/1093781/exclusive-arbroath-close-in-on-loan-signing-of-former-dundee-hero-craig-wighton/ Arbroath are closing in on the stunning loan signing of Craig Wighton, Courier Sport can reveal. The Hearts striker has been frozen out by new Tynecastle manager Daniel Stendel and is now training with the reserves. A January return to Dundee for the ‘Doon Derby’ hero looked to be on the cards but the Dark Blues failed to match the salary demands of the Premiership’s bottom club. Boss James McPake confirmed last week: “We have been priced out of making a move for Craig Wighton. Hearts’ demands were too high for us.” The Courier understands that Arbroath have put together a package that is acceptable to the Jam Tarts. There are other lower league clubs interested but the Red Lichties are the frontrunners and Wighton could even be in line for a weekend debut at Gayfield against Partick Thistle. The Arbroath board are backing manager Dick Campbell in his efforts to keep the Angus club in the Championship, with Forfar’s Dale Hilson joining from neighbours Forfar. Wighton moved to Hearts two years ago for a fee of £150,000. He has another year left on his contract after this season 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
