the sub goalie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Played in the Champions League, English Premier League, an International and also won many trophies throughout his career and a Hearts fan to boot, delighted the bigman is home. I'm not fussed if he played for Celtic, personally the thing I look/hope for in any signing is that they improve our team and give us as best a chance of winning each game and for me, Craig does this both in spades.

It’s bad enough some saying Berra can do a job- which he can’t as anybody who watched him last season will realise. There’s No need to turn Hearts into a well paid retirement home. He could be 50 and on an acid comedown, he'll still be better than Pereira, Zlamal or Doyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Couldn't get anyone better to become the goalie coach eventually. Wonder what'll happen now with Zlamal and Doyle? Be great if we could get in Halkdy as first choice and have Gordon coach both him and Stone. Not sure what the contract situation is with Zlamal and Doyle but if we could get them out then all's good. Now we need to get a solid centre-half in. We're a bit short in that area now with Dikamona away and I still think Halkett is a far more influential player in front of a back two. That only leaves an injury-prone Souttar and an ageing Berra. Ideally i'd love it if we got Jimmy Dunne back to the club. He seemed to "get us" and was bitterly disappointed his loan deal wasn't extended at the time.

Craig Gordon is one. Gordon was truly exceptional. Always thought he would have went on to be No 1 at Arsenal or Liverpool after his form for us a fine start at Sunderland. The Sunderland fans from what I remember thought alot about him but injuries and his price tag would be his downfall. He was solid enough at Celtic and produced fine form at times but has never been the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkirk_Jambo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Brilliant news. As mentioned above, by miles the best keeper we've had since Craig Gordon. He might not be quite as agile as he was in his prime but I think a fair few folk are going to be pleasantly suprised by how much he has improved his kicking and general decision making.

A decent keeper would have been worth a fair few points to us I'd say that was probably Stendel's biggest mistake to be honest. Not so much by not getting Gordon or anyone else in (we don't know if it would've been feasible at the time) but by constantly playing Perreira, probably the most undecisive goalkeeper I think I've ever seen wearing a Hearts top in my 38 years of going to watch Hearts. I am in no way saying Zlamal or Doyle was the answer either, just that it would only have been fair at the time to give either of them an extended run and dropping Perreira. Neither were top drawer but Perreira definitely wasn't either. Must've been disheartening for the other two to keep watching Perreira make mistake after mistake and they couldn't do a thing about it. We don't know what was in his loan contract from Man Utd but i'd hate to have thought part of the deal was that he played every week. Anyway, we move on, and thankfully Perreira has. One or both of the others next please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s now get a safe pair of experienced hands in as DoF and we can rebuild on a solid base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
