Sertse Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Can't say I'm all too arsed to get new players in this window. The cup final is over and we've been beating everyone in the championship pretty sufficiently with what we have. If we felt we had to get a new player in a winger would be alright, hopefully someone like Ginnelly but on the opposite side. Is it loans RN is after? The summer window is where we should be doing all our spending in preparation for a top 4 finish in the premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Good summary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have a good game obviously but it was his crap attitude that really stood out. Playing for a team he supports in a cup final and he looked if he would rather be anywhere else than there tbh. He had a poor game ffs. He scored 2 goals and won the match for us about a week before. Too many folk looking for drama when there is none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedy Jambo Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'd like us to take a chance on Manny Duku from Raith Rovers, He looked like a proper striker with confidence when he scored against us and is only on a 1 year deal. 27 years old.

Thats a good shout. 3 goals in 5 games. He could be really good cover for Boyce. I'm kinda conscious of padding the team out with too many journeymen types but if we're talking about forwards I think that and goalkeeper are two areas you can't mess about with. Someone mentioned earlier about Paterson potentially coming back. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but I'd love to get Dr Funk back again. I think played as a big physical forward he'd absolutely thrive in this league. Boyce, Paterson and Duku would be really solid forward options for Robbie to take next season by storm with!! The final is still an absolute sickener but there is a team there. I think Gordon, Smith, Kingsley, Haring, Irving, Boyce and Ginnelly are the nucleus of a really good team. If we can add some quality at CB, another winger and an alternative to Boyce, I'd feel great going into next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not entirely sure either Rangers or Celtic would be that interested in him, as I say the forms been off the cliff for a fair chunk of time. Uncertainty about his role in teams hasn’t helped him. Would think he’s got plenty in the bank and probably just rents places down south like most players. Always seemed the type of boy to come back up the road to Hearts, just a matter of when. Agree at 26 it could be a bit ahead of schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Doody Jambo Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Walker has never been a 90 minute player, if he was an athlete he would be of international level, he has as much talent as any player at the club, his fitness is of championship standard He should be at the top of his career now but looks knackered pulling jersey's and fouling, is it his application, diet or training, he needs to up his game We maybe need competion for his place to get the best out of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not got that burst of pace anymore to take him past a player and get a shot off. One performance against a pish championship team isn't doing it for me. Waste of money.
