StrikersInstinct Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 According to Channel 2 in Iceland tonight, Hearts have offered Icelandic international striker, Veigar Pall Gunnarsson, a trial at Hearts. His club Stab?k in Norway are considering the request. I think there are some youtube vids of him but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikersInstinct Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Is this chap any good? He's very skillful. He plays as the second striker and has the most combined assists anywhere in Scandinavia the past 3 years as well as scoring lots of goals although he has not scored that much this season. Suffers playing for Iceland as he is similiar to Eidur Gudjohnsen so is alot on the bench. German, French and English premierleague clubs have been watching him also.

BigTidy Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veigar_P%C3%A1ll_Gunnarsson Games (Goals) 1996-2000 Stjarnan 59 (14) 2001 Str?msgodset 15 (2) 2002-2003 KR Reykjav?k 30 (14) 2004-present Stab?k 68 (31) Plus 11 caps and 2 goals. Stats seem pretty decent, just under a goal every other game since 2002. *Cue comments on how this compares with our current strikers ratios* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf3MoRJwf-4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyFLwhzyRV0 Seems unlikely we'll sign him due to everything else that's going on. When was the last time we were linked to somebody and they actually signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Looks like Pinilla, hairband and stuff. Maybe vlad is feeling lonley and opted for a cheaper option. better than calum elliot and nade, by the look of it, knows where the goals are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see how many of the top players in the world wear hairbands, I bet it's quite a scary statistic. Good news though.

tazhearts Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Can't see it happening, can't see them letting one of their best players come to us on trial. However beware of the Makela effect before getting too excited. There was a lot of hype surrounding Juho when he joined but he turned out to be pish.

Do The Dance Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Couldn't see anything from that vid to get me excited at the prospect of bringing this guy in. I'd imagine the vid showcases his 'best bits' too.. a couple of pens, a decent freekick that the goalie should probably have had, and other goals that pretty much went straight through the keeper. We need a decent Manager, now. So frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 We need decent attacking players desperately. The complete lack of imagination and flair last season was what was most depressing. Hope this guy and some decent full backs, wingers, attacking midfielder and striker / finisher are also on the shopping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Don't know anything about the guy, however, I just can't see why anyone would sign for us, without a manager in place. As a player you want to know your part of the plan, how you will be utilised a picture painted of the future/career etc. We can't offer that. I just don't see why anyone would sign for us until that issue sorted. Unless we're paying silly money that the player can't get elsewhere. Maybe a managerial candidate recommended him?
