HoGwash Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Our squad is too big and we need to shed players, especially if Robbie wants to bring in 2 or 3. There are very few players in our squad that I will be heartbroken to see leave. If we can get a reasonable fee for Clare (or almost anyone else) we should take it. We should need a smaller squad than usual as we have a shorter league season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heres Rixxy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Disappointed to see Sean leave. Went through a tough time and came out the other side as one of our best performers. Still young and got good attributes. Would have ripped up the Championship IMO. I assume he was perhaps one of the higher paid players which may explain our apparent willingness to sell.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 MIdfield needs the most work, including the wide areas, so with Clare, Bozanic and Burns away it's clear Neilson is prioritising midfield. So that's encouraging. Also good to get fees for players leaving under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sean Clare. I guess the deal was in the region of £100,000 - £150,000 with add ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerah Jambo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 He's had a hard time but still purring over that 91st min equaliser at McDiarmid in February, a cracking strike to salvage something from a game we should have won but nearly lost. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher75 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Really disappointed Clare if is leaving. A versatile young player who put up with a lot of criticism and ultimately proved his critics wrong. A bit like with Djoum, I think he will be sorely missed if he goes. Unless Oxford are paying a big fee which seems highly unlikely I don't think this makes sense for Hearts. Clare is probably keen to get back down south but other the wages argument I would prefer that we play hardball and see if another club comes in or force Oxford to up their bid.

1971fozzy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Sad to see him go personally but I understand why the club and probably the player agree to move on. Good luck to the lad.

FERRY HEARTS Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If true and Sean is away I wish the guy well I was never a fan as felt he never brought enough effort to his spell with us As has been said this could have been due to poor performers around him and him continuously being asked to play different roles .

Just hope moneys good and we have sell on. That’s the way I see it too. Sean is clearly a very talented footballer but didn’t have the mentality to succeed in Scotland. Some great goals for Hearts but too often missing in action. Wish him all the best and hope we redirect his wages to someone who consistently delivers for the team.

soonbe110 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Pasquale for King said: Because he was the best LB at the club, according to the coaches who know better than you. Even after Garruccio was injured he tried everyone else there before giving Hickey a chance which he grabbed with both hands. But he might not have grabbed it with both hands if his chance had come 15/16 months earlier. Never heard of kids inexperience, lack of maturity etc? Don’t answer because we will never know. I was just pointing out that there were more than Levein who didn’t think he was ready including national coaches who certainly know better than you and I and probably know better than a number of our academy coaches.

Werner Herzog Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Mixed feelings about this. He was dreadful to begin with but found his feet a little over time & was one of the few plus points from the Stendel era. Could have probably done a job for us in the championship (although I'm not sure where he'd fit into a Neilson team) but a six figure sum is good money & will help us in sorting out urgent areas of the team. All the best, Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Talented player. Just didn’t quite work out. Would have been happy enough for him to stay as he had definitely shown improvement.

AHS51 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Quite happy that we could get in the region of 2 million for 2 players in what was one of the worst hearts team I've seen for a long time. Obviously the 2 are part of the few that I would like to keep but reasonable offers have been given for them. Quite happy to see a youngster take Clare's role in midfield and maybe Garuccio deserves a chance in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower quality on paper maybe, but we've been fooled many times recently by players like Whelan, Vanacek and Damour arriving with decent reputations. The thing about Neilson that seems to differentiate him from Levein is he signs players for specific positions and combinations, instead of trying to force square pegs into round holes.
