Taffin Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Liked Washington, thought he was a good player. Disappointed him and Clare are away whilst a lot of the dross remains. I guess sadly we've a number of players who nobody else would want so have to get rid of a few who are actually half decent to balance the books. Wish him all the best, always gave 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A lot of stick for Washington, difficult season for him with injuries, let’s remember him for that lovely finish at the echo dome. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Shame he was only here a year. But we get money that's the big thing just now. We can't say it's a mistake picking up something at this moment in time. And the quality is there in the squad that we shouldn't miss him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Apprentice Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Washington clearly had to move on from a financial perspective. He would have been on a good wage and it makes sense for both parties. Always gave 100% when he played, maybe not the most natural goalscorer but did a lot of unselfish work for the team and unfortunate with his injury. Describing him as ‘Powderpuff’ is quite laughable really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything2 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Sertse said: Can't agree more. Shankland fits our style of play. I doubt we'll ever get him now. Had a look on transfermarkt and there's actually some decent free agent strikers who are young enough and know where the back of the net is. Hopefully get someone new in soon. I'm not sure if Shankland would fit with a classic Hearts style. Since Robbo at his peak we haven't had many traditional poacher types. I always think of us as a goals spread around the squad team. Our most successful teams of the past few decades have centred around goals from midfielders like Cameron, Hartley or Rudi with a centre half like Berra, Zal or Weir grabbing a batch from set pieces rather than focusing on the main striker like Hibs tend to do.

Rick Sanchez Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I wouldn't give Washington stick as he barely played. Thanks for the goal at ER and all the best. I'm not bothered about him tbh, losing what is most likely a big wage and he never played enough to form any attachment. Win/win for both parties.

Jumper Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I could well be alone in this but I think Uche is a player we need in the Champioship to combat the brutes in some of these lower teams.

No great loss at all. I sometimes wonder if we should just bring in a middle distance runner to play up front as we just ask our forwards to run about rather than score goals.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Disappointed about Washington but I'm guessing Neilson has separated out the high earners and some of them simply have to go. Out of Boyce, Naismith and Washington, one had to go. I'd keep Uche and Wighton now, unless a decent striker comes onto the radar. Wighton will be easy to loan out if that happens. Uche could be a useful weapon - I say keep unless there are obviously better cheaper options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be on the lookout for a replacement for him this season coming either this window or next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
