Chimp Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 7 minutes ago, westbow said: Indeed, may as well play with 11 outfield players. Crap goalies have been our problem for way too long. A good shot stopper will be a relief. Correct. That's how it seems to be coming across though. In that case why did Hibs let go of Chris Maxwell? He's got good distribution. However he cost them numerous goals because he isnt very good with his hands. A far more important part of goalkeeping than your feet will ever be IMO. Top class keepers can do both nowadays of course, and thats whats required....but we aren't Liverpool or Barcelona etc and cant attract that level of keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearer the end of the window clubs that have struggled to get rid of the deadwood, or players they don't want they lower the demands. The timing that we got Boyce was smart on Hearts part because we had already had an offer rejected, we waited a few days then went back in with another offer, Burton were expecting other clubs to make offers they didn't, this made Burton panic as they wanted to get as much money for him as possible, or risk losing him for nothing Burton paid 500k to bring him to the club when he signed for them. It then came out in the media / press that Hearts had an offer accepted for Boyce, this alerted other clubs, Boyce's agent was trying to get him other offers Boyce told him he was set on coming to us. Late bids came in from Aberdeen, Hibs, Ipswich, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Stoke, Qpr, a few of the teams offering him wages that would of blew us out the water. Boyce had made his mind up though, after having the chance to play at Tynecastle before, but deciding to turn it down to go and play for Burton, he had been given a second chance to play at Tynecastle. And the rest is history 150k for Boyce, with a nice signing on fee everyone's a winner 👍🇱🇻. Cheers again for the info Bongo 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Jambo Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 9 minutes ago, SomethingAboutObua said: If folk are desperate for an ex Hearts goalie I’d rather we brought back Jamie McDonald, fans still like him, younger than Gordon and would probably be happy to be No 2 here and for a far far FAR cheaper wage. Not saying I think we should sign him, I’m just saying if we’re scrambling for a goalie and no one from Stendel’s choices are coming I’d go for him ahead of an old and very expensive Gordon, with Pereira staying as no. 1. If you think signing him or Gordon would be daft, fair enough. If you’re pro re-signing Gordon but think McDonald would be a daft move, then I think you need to review where you want us to spend money because financially I don’t think there any contest Sorry, but your logic is way off. Someone (let's say me) can think that Gordon would be an upgrade on all our current keepers and would be our number 1. Can also think that goalkeeper is currently the weakest position in our team and therefore well worth focusing finance. Gordon is older than MacDonald, but also a FAR better goalkeeper. If offered the choice of bringing in MacDonald as yet another back-up goalie or Gordon as first choice I'm really clear where I'd want to spend money because as you say financially I don't think there is any contest. Your logic only holds up if you think we'd be bringing Gordon in as a reserve keeper. On the whole 'is he a Stendel pick' stuff, it doesn't seem beyond the realms of possibility that Stendel is aware of a keeper who is a former internationalist and has played in the Champions League. The question of who 'initiated' the transfer is probably just down to what you think is meant by initiated. Is it putting the name to the manager, is it the manager saying let's try and sign him, or is it whoever makes first contact with the player's club. Either way Boyce has signed and scored on his debut and looks like Gordon won't sign. Doesn't seem like it is worth worrying about something that none of us will ever definitively know.

BigAlim Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I can understand if the gaffer does go for a different keeper and trust his judgment, however let’s not pretend Craig Gordon wouldn’t be a huge upgrade on what we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same as Halkett, Souttar, and Naismith were key to the result all of whom were signed by Levein. Get a ****ing grip here.

Since stendel has come in I think it clear to see that Joel's confidence has improved a lot like the rest of the squad. Stick with him until the summer in my eyes and get a permanent replacement then Sounds like a plan to me. No rush for a goalkeeper at the moment. I suppose a bit might depend on if Doyle has any plans of moving on in this wndow but Zlamal is the back-up at the moment anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyespana Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think we are needing to give this Gordon talk a break, we have been told he is not getting away in this window so I would be happy with what we have just now I would think a goalkeeper would be well down Daniels list of players required just now.

CL has had an input in that, we'd been after him for a while. You don't think we should have signed Boyce? Stendel confirmed his interest in Boyce, having played against Burton with Barnsley. I think it’s obvious that Stendel has the final say on recruitment. Maybe recommended by McCann, but I doubt Levein had anything to do with it.
