We’re signing him because he’s better than what we’ve got. Don’t know about you......but I’m all for that way of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 4 minutes ago, AndyNic said: Nae chance Cochrane's getting a game this year either then. Out on loan? Also, if Halliday is really *that* good why was he let go by Rangers? Cochranes not been near the first team for a long time. It's perhaps the time to re-evaluate his potential? Certainly looks to me like Cochrane, Hamilton, Moore, C. Smith, McDonald and Henderson will never be starting XI players for Hearts if they aren't deemed good enough to be squad players in the Championship. One of them may play a bit part this season or next season perhaps working their way into the squad but I can't see it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if he's that good why hasn't he been snapped up before now. Wages? Pandemic? Or just not that good? He says he’s knocked back several offers from 6 or 7 clubs.

Batistuta87 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Just now, Cruyff said: Yep, agree. Last season we lacked players with the bottle to play for this club. Halliday has played for a big club with huge expectations attached, in that respect he' certainly not going to be a passanger. I'd definitely consider him as a midfielder so it'll be interesting as to see what position he's being considered for given we already have Lee, Haring, Irving and Damour at the moment. They all do different jobs though - Haring and Halliday will be your ball-winning box-to-box types - putting tackles in and handing off to wingers or to other midfielders; and Lee/Irving will be playmakers, pinging passes around and stuff like that. And if Damour gets his way he'll be next out the door anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo-in-furness Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The knowing that he hates anything green will do for me, as long as he doesn’t carry on down Laffertys road with the red hand of Ulster salute.

gnasher75 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Good to have some strength in depth in midfield given Haring's injury record. Hopefully his will to win won't just be a Rangers thing... although saying that he will be desperate to beat Celtic in the Cup final.

Beast Boy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 46 minutes ago, RustyRightPeg said: Other way about. Halliday box to box, that's his natural role. He spoke about that openly on Open Goal podcast about how Warburton tried to coach him into being a sitting midfielder and it didn't suit him. He's got bundles of energy and he'll fit our team perfectly IMO. Haring is a far superior player though, and he’s far more than a defensive midfielder. Maybe they can take shot about? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds66 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Pleased with the signing of Halliday. Absolutely strengthens the team and gives us options in the middle of the park. Some won't be happy for various reasons. Certainly a better option than Butcher who was being mentioned again as a target. Anyway, welcome to Edinburgh's finest Andy.

Sertse Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 54 minutes ago, Batistuta87 said: He's a box-to-box or defensive mid by trade. Like Ian Black. But he mucked in at LB when Rangers needed him to and while my Hun mates really liked him and were sad to see him go, there's just too many strong CMs at Rangers just now and he's not getting a look in. He was never quick enough to be a LB but dug deep and gave his all, and was a hard tackler. I'm honestly chuffed to bits if we're signing him. I don't think he'll be anywhere near LB unless an emergency. Folk greeting into their Diet Irn Bru because he played for Rangers and this "he wasn't good enough for them so he's not good enough for us" chat is just laughable... Couldn't care less who he played for before - if he comes here and does a job I'll be behind him 100%. And we're in no position to be demanding OF quality players. OF rejects will do me just fine at this point because it usually means they've been strong performers at other teams before moving to the OF. 100% agree. He's a grafter. Very happy with this signing.

WDJ87 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Didn't want Halliday, do not think we need him to win the championship. But he's a Hearts player now so I'll get behind him the same as anyone else in maroon. Hopefully it means Damour is away soon?? Any rumours on a LB or is Halliday it?

I think our midfield and front line will be pretty fluid anyhow, with a lot of freedom for the players to find pockets and pick the ball up in dangerous areas.

Craig Gordon Ross Stewarton (loan) Mahail Popescu Andy Halliday Jordan Roberts Elliot Frear Josh Ginelly (loan) 6/7 have played in the top division in Scotland and are known quantities. They address our acknowledged problems positions of GK, CB, CM, and wingers with pace. Time will tell whether they perform as we all hope, but Robbie's rebuild looks logical and I think we have a stronger and more balanced squad than we had last season.

Rods Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I was not overly impressed by the Halliday talk at first. I then remembered he will be able to hit the ground running as he knows the league, He will be a good player to have round the squad and we dont know how Haring will fare injury wise so having Halliday covers bases all in all a good signing.
