stuart500 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We have 15 "cup finals" and at least one real cup tie coming up. Three major games coming up next week. We need the strongest squad possible to be able to field the best players available for every match. For that reason I would take Gordon as he's clearly a better keeper than Zlamal. Whether he's better than JP is really irrelevant. Overall the goalkeeping position would be stronger. Gordon on an 18 month deal would be fine. All other keepers to move on/back at end of season and Stendel to add his choice of goalie in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoked-Glass Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Gordon's not been that good now tbh. We want a young keeper in who will develop and improve. Gordon still gives me nitemares in that Scotland v England 2-2 game. Liked his howlers for celtic which was pleasing. But don't want back here.

Couldn't get them, budget he had set aside likely not enough, had he put a smidgeon more effort in, and bothered to scout, he could have ended up with someone else similar to McLaughlin or Lewis of Aberdeen, a very good example if you look hard enough.

All other keepers to move on/back at end of season and Stendel to add his choice of goalie in the summer. Why is it irrelevant if he's better than Pereira? He won't be staying here as back up if we bring in Gordon, he is here to play first team games. The choice is pay celtic money for Gordon and send Pereira back or keep things as they are. I don't think replacing Pereira is a priority this window, especially with a short term 37 year old that will cost money and is no where near the keeper he was when he left. If Levein was still in charge I would 100% expect this transfer to happen, very unimaginative and pointless signing for an injury prone old player way way past his best. I just can't see Stendel wanting him! Having said all that if he decides to bring him in I will support Stendel all the way - although I reserve the right to come back on here and say I told you so when he gets injured for the season and we have Zlamal in goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Celtic will want something in return for Gordon. Namely Hickey, who would possibly be part of any deal. Celtic do nothing for anyone (apart from their mates at Easter Rd) unless it benefits them. Stay away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazo Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 52 minutes ago, BackOfTheNet said: I agree we could do better than Pereira, that’s what Stendel will work on, but sweeper keepers who are competent at their feet as well as being excellent shot stoppers will play at a much, much higher level than us. As for who’s better, my opinion is in the current style Pereira is because a large reason Rangers only had that one good shot on goal rather than 5-10 good shots on goal is the possession we had due to Pereira’s distribution ability. I think there is a compromise out there and I’m confident DS will find him longer term. I don’t agree regarding the shots we were slightly fortunate they missed the target with a couple of good chances. For the record I’d rather persevere with Pereia until the summer of it meant we found a permanent replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told he would be keen to come back to Hearts. 27 minutes ago, DS98 said: Neither are correct. Some ITKers have said it 100% isn’t happening and there is been no communications. Untrue But hasn’t been in talks for weeks. More like days. And he isn’t near a return. More like a small chance Bongo 1874 Posted Saturday at 11:42 The goalkeeper situation, I see people have been saying Gordon is coming back to us etc etc. They aren't wrong that Craigs agent and Craig himself is very keen on a move back to us, but Stendel is looking for a sweeper keeper. Davies was suited to playing this way in league 1 at Barnsley started attacks fast by throwing the ball out quickly etc etc. There was a keeper I was told we were interested in but nothing came to it i will come back to this later and add more.

There will be even more money in the summer mark my words trust me as Stendel says believe me.
