Nah, at our level he's OK. But we don't need 3 senior keepers, he's the worst, so bye bye. Hearts will not get good keepers to sit as number 2 and tbh I want the money available spent in an established number, not split over two average type keepers. Who our number 2 is irrelevant in all honesty, although hopefully a young lad is pushing through soon. He's an international and played at a decent level for a long time relative to Hearts. Your crap comment is crap. He was signed as number 2, was adequate, we don't need 3 keepers so he's punted. None story tbh.

Last Laff Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1 hour ago, ToqueJambo said: If you think Tepi was a bombscare too there really is no hope. Solid back-up, check his record. As for Levein's record with goalies as manager and DoF - he can take credit for Gordon As for Tepi, he was far from our worse back-up and was signed to ease Gordon in. Signing a top class goalie would have meant no place for Gordon. Would that have been your strategy? Then he got Alexander as DoF, who was very solid, then very nearly got Gilks who went to Rangers at the last minute, then brought in McLaughlin and again we were unlucky we couldn't keep him. Unlike JJ he didn't have 500K to buy a top class goalie in Niemi. Generally he's done a good job. This season it's quite hard to assess the goalies as there's been no defence in front of them at times on top of the general malaise in the first team. It's certainly been a problem positioned one Levein has tried to address and now it's Stendel's turn. But you just bash on. Tepi was shit. Threw a ball in the net in a Derby. How on earth can Levein get praise for finding Craig Gordon? It would be the equivalent of praising Danny Lennon for finding John McGinn. He didn’t get Alexander as director of football, Alexander was a boyhood Jambo wanting to come and play for us, if you want to give him the credit for that fine - well as director of football he’s wasted millions and millions on utter shite including all the gash Cathro asked Levein to bring in. Levein has signed one good goalie his whole managerial career - even McGlaughlin was on trial when Cathro got sacked. You do seem to think he brings in a lot of number 2s. That itself is ironic.

annushorribilis III Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, queensferryjambo said: That doesn't even make sense Craig Levein never binned Doyle at all. In fact he either played him or had him 2nd choice every game this season up until his injury in November. Doyle played in goal ahead of both Zlamal and Pereira in August then Pereira took the number 1 spot. Doyle was on the bench as second choice keeper right up until November. Zlamal wasn't even making the bench ahead of Doyle from when he was dropped in August. The only reason Zlamal even made it back on the bench was Doyle broke his ankle in November. I presume you forgot he broke his ankle and couldn't play? If Doyle is leaving the club I think you will find Stendel is the only one who has ever binned him. I'll leave it there - in your own words.

Levein sent him on loan, then recalled him early to give him his debut, then managed his progress including a nightmare second game, and by the time Levein left Gordon was a Scotland international.

Certainly wasn't mentioned as fact on the thread about his contract extension on here. Someone suggested that might be the reason but wasn't claiming they knew that was the case. It wasn't included in the Hearts official release or in the Evening News Story at the time. Both quoted Doyle as saying part of his happiness in signing an extension was because his family had moved up to Edinburgh, but neither suggested the reason that Hearts gave him the extension was due to personal reasons. I tried googling it and couldn't find anything. I remember reading it mate, but I'm buggered if I can find it, I'm pretty sure it was Levein who came out with the comments but may be wrong on that one, but it was definitely reported somewhere.
