Bizzare if true, my only demands if I was him would be to have the deal signed immediately before their scouts have time to watch any of videos of him playing. If he wants to sit in the stand and pick up a wage this will be a very abrupt end to his professional footballing career.

Gav M Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I get the feeling that there has been a fair bit of leg work done on some signings as well as stendel taking the week to look over the returning loan players with a view of getting signings done when budge gets back.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Two weeks in, just over two weeks left (with 4 days being weekends so inexplicably not counting in this window) and no signing in sight. I got accused of being “at it” or a pant wetter for calmly suggesting that I had a feeling (a feeling and no more) that we weren’t going to sign anyone this window. Not that we wouldn’t try, just that it wouldn’t happen for a multitude of reasons. I still stand by that but would be happy to have my gut instinct proved wrong. Saying that I also said that we have a squad capable of going up the table but more importantly a manager capable of coaching the team to get up the table. So I’m still confident we’ll get out of this mess. Not confident of signings though, and not liking the idea of 4 or 5 games happening before signings happen or have time to bed in if we do manage to get any over the line.

Coburg Hearts Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm as sure as sure can be - 99.5% sure - that we will sign at least 2 players before the window shuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely hope you’re right. My worry (for lack of a better term) is when we will sign anyone. As transfer business only seems to happen Mon-Fri we have 4 working days before Airdrie - with no signs of any signing being anywhere near to close. Then another two working days after that before Ross County. Then another two working days before Rangers. Then we’ll have just the one full working week before the window closes. I’d say the last week of the window is the likely point anyone would sign if we’re going to sign anyone. But that would be three games played without signings and if they come in the last week wouldn’t have much time before an important game vs St. Johnstone on Saturday the 1st. If they sign deadline day for example they’ll unlikely feature vs St. Johnstone and would have barely any time before the following game a few days later midweek vs Kilmarnock. With the following game potentially being a 5th round Scottish Cup game on the 8th the next league game after that is Celtic. So potentially 5 games without any new signings (if we sign anyone) featured is a very strong possibility. And the 6th game would hopefully be a Scottish Cup tie, which would be likely the point some signings would be bedded. I suppose my main point is what I’ve mentioned previously and Celtic unfortunately likely a loss, IF we were to sign anyone they would likely be signed late into the window meaning there would be 5 league games (including Celtic) that would either not feature a new player or certainly not one up to speed. That’s 15 points to play for. The next league game (again discounting Celtic) we’d likely have new players bedded in and fully ready would be Hearts v Hamilton on the 15th February, which would be the 27th out of the 38 games of the season. Must re-iterate though that I feel we have the squad and especially manager to get us out of trouble, especially if we’re playing the final 5 games against bottom 6 sides. And I don’t want to just write off the game against Celtic, I want us to have a right go, but the respective league positions and wage bills tell us odds are stacked against us.

I normally agree with you Coburg but not on this occasion I'm afraid. I'm 99.7% sure. Have to say though that getting our injured players up and running and seeing the others continuing to improve under Stendel matters more to me or at least, just as much.

Handofgod2015 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 6 hours ago, CJGJ said: Well lets see one of them was a free transfer so hardly much of a point made there The other is a 6 month loan deal to a Top flight club where money is not really an issue so again not much of a point is it It truly is terrible that we have to deal with other clubs and get them to agree a deal before we can sign them...within a budget. January deals are often made late on as clubs releasing a player often want a replacement in hand prior to any release If you'd just come out and state you are simply creating another anti Levein thread then fair enough....trying to hide it just makes one wonder what's the point if you can't even be honest as to the thread reasons My point is our transfer business since Levein has been involved in it always drags.
