Hungry hippo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 1 hour ago, AllyjamboDerbyshire said: Are you sure he's cheaper, or is that the only thing that makes sense to you in this signing? And why would Kilmarnock prefer the third choice keep from the three worst Premiership keepers of last season when, with a little effort, they could have signed Stewart, unless they think Doyle is better than him? He'd have been just as cheap for them as he is for us, too. Of course, hopefully I am totally wrong, and he turns out to be better than Zlamal (who might be leaving, I don't know) and it's Kilmarnock (and Livingston) who've messed up, but with three of our last four keeper signings being disasters, I'm none too confident over this one and would have preferred to have seen us sign a known to be good, aging keeper as back up until Harry Stone is ready to take his place on the bench (assuming Stone is destined to be the keeper many think he will be). Don't know for a fact but I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that he's on a lot lower wages. Livingstone's 3rd choice keeper won't be on much.

Portable Badger Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Exclusive: Striker arrives at Valley to sign for Charlton Athletic after breakthrough 13th August 2020 at 12:22pm Charlton Athletic are set to sign Hearts striker Conor Washington today after a breakthrough in talks, Football Insider can exclusively reveal. The 28-year-old has one year-left on his contract at Tynecastle Park and the Edinburgh-club look set to cash in this summer rather than lose him on a free in 12 months time. A recruitment source has told Football Insider that the centre-forward is at The Valley to finalise a move to the League One club. He will put pen to paper on two-year deal with the The Addicks for an undisclosed fee. Washington was part of a Hearts team that suffered relegation from the Scottish Premiership last season after the SPFL took the decision to curtail the campaign. He made 22 appearances in all competitions and scored four goals having been sidelined for a large period of 2019 with a ruptured thigh muscle.

Livingstone's 3rd choice keeper won't be on much. I doubt he signed for Livingston as third choice keeper and so his wages won't be as bad as you suggest, and do you know whether or not we continue to pay part of Doyle's wages? If we do, then the drop in cost might not be all that much, or anything at all. Normally, third choice keeper wouldn't bother me that much, at all, but after last season, and with, as many have pointed out, Craig Gordon's injury problems, third choice might become second, and as we found last season with Zlamal's iffy form, third choice might become first!

BackOfTheNet Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Best for all involved that Washington deal. The way Scottish football plays (hoofs up the park and worrying about getting pummelled by those two) meant there was never much space to run in behind which is his game. Maybe he could’ve adapted but we’ll never know and his wages plus a small fee can mean incomings now more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmiyaHearts Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Washington worked hard but we've had more than enough non-scoring forwards at the club. No great loss at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That-Day-In-May Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 That’s two players we signed on a free transfer away for a profit.

thehibsareintheirbeds Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 So that's clare, bozanic and washington all gone- the three scorers from our easter road win- one of few high points of the season. Makes sense for washington to move on and still hopeful we have another striker lined up with question marks over uche and wighton but really hope this is the last we see of wholesale squad changes every summer.

HMFC01 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 He'll end up scoring 15-20 goals for Charlton now. I think he had a hard time getting his confidence and fitness back at Hearts, then another injury set him back, came back with some goals but it was too late. All the best to him.

Marvin Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 That's Jordan Roberts signed on a 2 year deal. He has played in the 4th & 5th tier of England. If that's the quality we are looking at, am I overreacting if I say I'm just a little concerned about next season. I still think we will piss all over the championship but a player who hasn't played at the top level for some time, may not be able to make the step up.

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.
