Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 5 hours ago, 18Jambo_dave74 said: Completely agree with this. i think we have been so bad the last couple of years that some fans have forgotten what good players look like. Don't get me wrong Bozanic was okay in a 'backup/squad player to occasionally come in and do a job' position. But at the end of the day he has been a regular starter in an awful Hearts team that is bottom of the league. I've read comments from people saying they are pleased we're retaining Brandon and Moore. We don't need a goalkeeper because Zlamal will do. Disappointed Petkov hasn't been offered a contract etc etc. I can understand that there are arguments for various players and I'm not necessarily saying they are all wrong but it just feels that some are too accepting of poor to average players. Or are adjusting expectations of what is needed to win the Championship, as that's where we currently are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Always thought he should have been played as an attacking mid as he seemed to have an eye for goal. Cracking goal v Hibs to remember him by. Not going to say anything negative. All the best Boz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I think if we could and if we knew we were playing in the Championship he could’ve done as good a job as Gomis did for us. Haring is hopeful of being back so him, Irving and Cochrane would be good enough down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Would definitely bring him back for at least another year. Always worked his socks off for the team, if unfortunately we can’t bring him back then let’s be honest that goal at ER will go down in history as one of the finest we’ve scored their and for that he will always be fondly remembered among the Gorgie faithful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Was pretty much bang average but always gave 100% and of course scored that belter v the vermin. I think he could do a job in the championship and has the attitude required for that league. However due to our shite form and the injustice of expelling us he has left us as will many others. good luck Bozzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettigrewsstylist Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Shame, exactly what the doctor ordered for Championship i suspect, and prob double figures goals down there. We have a full squad rebuild to do regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elshin Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Great goal at ER forever a cult hero now and rightly so. But for me he was honking. Ran about headless, let attacking players drift away from him. Positional sense was poor. There is a reason we are bottom of the league and our central midfield has been a huge part of this problem. Last season he was behind a number of players, our recruitment was so bad in the summer he bacame almost a first pick in midfield. As a back up squad player he has the right mentality, but there will be so many free transfers this month there will be better out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Will be a miss. Underrated and seemed to be a target for unfair criticism. Wholehearted player who never hid.

LogicalEric Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Will always be grateful for the goals against Rangers and Hibs. A bit meh as to whether he stayed or not. Work rate and fitness were his key attributes. To be honest, there’s surely players in the youth teams that would offer that at a fraction of what he would be costing in wages.

David McCaig Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 50 minutes ago, Cynic said: He has got better every week he hasn't played. He’s the exception who breaks the rule. We’ve probably forgotten just how good a player he was before being injured. He played pretty much all his football before the hernia* in a Hearts side top of the SPL, it looks like he’ll be making his comeback in the Championship. Too good for the Championship is a lazy phrase, but utterly true in Haring’s case. * I know we dropped down the table whilst Levein kept picking Haring for 2 months after he was diagnosed with a hernia... which is why he has been injured for so long.

Yes did slightly improve under Stendel but not good enough. Cheers for the goals/memories against the wee team and knocking Sevco out the cup. All the best to him in his future endeavours. No faulting his effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a clear out starting. Shame so many others are under contract. PS - MacLean is genuinely one of the least talented strikers we’ve ever signed. Hopeless. He was one of the best forwards we’ve had for a while. His positioning and movement were better than we’ve seen at the club for years. Too bad he was too old and didn’t have a good partner up too. I can guarantee the young strikers learned a lot from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I thought at the start of last season, paired with Naismith and uche, McLean was excellent.. when they got injured and he had to play up front on his own he was done.. and never recovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts will be the biggest club he'll have played for in his career. Started quite well in his first season. Looked better under Stendel but a handful of good games in nearly two seasons is nowhere near good enough. For a guy who should have been in the prime of his career, he goes down as another disappointment for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly has to be because of the shotgun approach to team selection that continued under Stendel. Disappointed he didn’t do better I agree too.

Limited in what he could do but made up for it in effort snd a combatitive nature. Ive said before that he''s the sort of player that Perry Kitchen probably imagines himself to be. Like most of the squad he had the life sucked out him by Levein but there were glimpses that were becoming more apparent under Stendal. Id have liked to have seen him stay. This generations Foster moment. Good luck to him. Fozzie on the fence Bozanic on the billboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
