Was disagreeing with a mate about that the other day. Irving has bigger potential thank Hickey imo. 

Hickey is worth more today than Irving will ever be worth. I really like Iriving......he’s just not in the same bracket as Hickey.

 

But don’t take my word for it.......take the word of the countless number of higher level clubs who think the same way.

Peter pawlett is absolute effin pish

Would agree that Hickey is worth more than Irving. Hickey's talent is very special.

 

But Irving has the potential to become a valuable player to Hearts. His passing ability is above nearly all players in Scottish football and he can score from long range. What holds him back is he is not as fast as other midfielders.  But given the right coaching and development then he can be worth a lot as well. 

[Tommy Brown]

Since the Toby Sibbick thread got closed down, I'll add him here.

He wasn't in the squad on Friday against Leeds. Would love to think he is still a possibility for a return.

Versatile, mobile and solid ball winner.

100% agree. He’d be a good signing. 

[gowestjambo]

New Manager, but it appears he has an old broom. If Butcher and Pawlett are the recruitment criteria - nothing has changed from signing mediocre duds!

shame we didn’t get to see that much of him. He is a very good player to come to Scotland.

 

I’d happily give him a lift up the road to get him back to Tynecastle.

 

Edit: Just seen the Sibbick thread. Some people....

I am hoping that Robbie is still in a bit of a daze at becoming manager of the third biggest club in Scotland again and realises he is not signing players for an average championship club.

[Beast Boy]

Hoping the Pawlett link is pish. 😬

Welcome back Robbie.

One week in the job and you're getting slagged off for signing duds based on a random rumour on fan's forum!

Jeez!

FWIW, following on from the ITK post that we are after a DUFC midfielder, I opined there were 2 possibilities, McMullan and Pawlett, with the latter less likely.  Whether that has sown a seed in someone's mind I don't know.

The mediocre duds he signed in the past had us second in the league before he left....... Take that again would you not.

McMullan is a free agent I think. Been quite impressed by him when I've seen him, admittedly only on TV. Would prefer him to Pawlett tbh.

[Debut 4]

Always liked the look of that wee McMullan when I saw him. Bit if an old fashioned winger. Goes on the outside of the full back regularly which you don’t see a lot these days. Most players seem to cut in.

 

You just wonder if he deserves a shot at a bigger club now?

I don’t think he was getting at robbie in particular. You can argue that you need mediocre journeymen to fill the squad in the top flight but, with budgets being cut to next to nothing in the championship, are these really the type of players we should be after? 

i’d be disappointed to be signing players close to thirty who will never play at a higher level than us tbh. With all the brutal cutbacks that are happening there are bound to be younger, ambitious players who won’t look at us as their last decent payday.

Old fashioned winger - yes! That role seems to have diminished recently. Over theorising of the game imo. Like the winger isn't allowed to be creative. Teams are full of robots.

Just checked Transfermarket and he's got a year to go unfortunately. Wikipedia has him on a 2 year deal from 2017 though which is confusing. 

 

Must have signed an extension, or Utd have an option to extend?

 

Would take him though, suspect we're waiting until next year with the current situation between the clubs.

Oh well...pity, but one year would be a cheaper transfer I guess. Agree regards current tensions between the clubs.

👍🏻  I like him because he’s not hesitant.  He tees up the full back and just goes! He’s got that burst and puts good balls across which is the key.

I think the opposite. I much prefer wide forward players who cut in and drive in to the box.

I don't think it's a case of either/or. An intelligent player would do both, as and when the opportunity arose. Giving the player artistic freedom is what I was getting at, rather than playing percentages, or being afraid to lose possession.

In our market it’s rare that we could afford a player who could do both effectively with any kind of regularity. With that in mind I’d rather have a Milinkovic or Suso than a classic winger. Modern central defenders tend to mop up anything launched in to the box these days. I like attackers who ask questions of defenders by keeping the ball at their feet and forcing them to try and tackle them in the box.

Definitely agree on the artistic freedom bit. It’s what I liked about Milinkovic in a team of automatons.

Head to the bye-line and cut back to our on rushing forwards and midfield. Football is a simple game. But I also agree with what you say. As I said, it's not a case of one or the other.👍

Same as me.

When I have seen him on the box, I always wondered if he could make the transition to a more infield position like Hartley did.

100s of players will be released. Clubs will also be looking to slash wage bills by getting rid of players under contract. It won’t take loads of money to get some decent signings in 

[Leveins Battalion]

Jim Jefferies is in the paper today saying Ann Budge feels the recruitment has been poor and disjointed.

 

If we are in for any Dundee Utd players only 3 are good enough,Shankland, Appere and McMullan.

 

Take these rumours with a pinch of salt.

[dazajmbo]

We’ve been signing internationalists the last 2 years and look how that worked out. We’ve had some mediocre duds over the years who turned out to be good signings. I’ve they give 100% that’s what we need cause the current group clearly didn’t.

Having watched them 4/5 times I'd agree. 

 

I did like their gk but Gordon is better.

It’s not really to with whether they’re internationals or not. It’s also not only shit journeymen at the end of their careers that give 100%.

Can't see us being interested in Pawlett tbh. We've got players, probably better players, that are available in his position. We need a step up from what we have at the moment. 

 

Can see why we might be interested in Butcher though.

I think their best player is the Swiss laddie in goals for them. Him I would try and sign.

Very true. Besides, having checked out neilsons interview where he mentions haring, he definitely doesn’t say he’s “fit and ready to go”. He’s just had another surgery and Robbie hopes he’ll be available for the start of the season. Still lots of unknowns with haring...unfortunately ☹️

I wouldn’t for a lot of reasons but you’re right he’s a very good goalie.  Number 2 to Gordon hindering the progress of Gordon’s successor and would be on good money and a transfer fee to leave.  Never going to happen.

Who do you want us to sign then. Peter pawlett is not a bad player at this level. I’d of said of Walker, Naismith, Washington are all a level above the premiership and look at how poor we’ve been. Would prefer players that want to be at Hearts and usually you’ll find the mediocre ones fight and scrap for the jersey. Not the best players but they’ll give you there all week in week out.
