I thought Robbie would be looking at a DM to cover for Haring tbh but this Akhmatov seems to be a playmaker. Personally always thought JW best position was as a second striker/attacking mid. He's not got the pace to play wide. 3 minutes ago, baxterd1974 said: Fair enough, I'm a techie, you use the greater than sign and I take that literally, apologies if I misunderstood 👍 No need to. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Roberts a lefty? Roberts and Moore on left...possibly Frear on the right soon with Henderson or MacDonald.

KyleLafferty Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I will never look at a Hearts team on paper again after last year. I've always waited to see players play 7-10 games before judging them. The fact that we are looking at boys that have played Scottish Football before is a great sign Neilson knows what he is doing.

It's a difficult one because CG will almost certainly be number one for the next couple of seasons. He needs to get experience so better having him out on loan for the season, with Gordon mentoring him (was please to hear in Gordon's interview saying he has already called Harry to chat.) So Gordon first choice this season with (if the rumour about a new back up is true) a cheap back up and Zlamel and Doyle leave to free up space and wage, Harry gets experience to develop.

David Black Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The fact this signing has happened so quickly, I wonder if it was either Jordan Roberts OR Elliot Frear.

FTH. I suggest we open The Peter Haring Research Unit. We can use it to make breakthroughs in medical science such as discovering that asking someone to play through a hernia for several months isn’t a good idea, in the same way that rushing someone back from the subsequent double hernia for 60 minutes of football may well be detrimental to the chances of them ever playing football again!!

Jamboscanbevicius Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Morrison out and Roberts in is a VERY good day! I remember watching Robbie's rebuild for our last Championship stint and thinking that it looked logical, strategic, and well thought out to improve us and add experience in key areas. So far this looks along similar lines, immediately addressing GK and a powerful winger with SPFL experience. A bit more of this type of surgery we will be looking in excellent shape IMO. We need to trim a bit of cost too so I would fully expect to see several of Doyle, Zlamal, Hickey, Damour, Lee, Uche, Wighton to follow Clare out the door. But I do feel more confident having Robbie making these decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the clips and other comments, Roberts looks like he mainly plays on the right and likes to cut in and shoot. Frear very much looks like a "get to the byline and cross" type, so he'd be much more suited to playing on the left.
