It says "Hearts have been mentioned as a possible destination", and uses that as the framing to the main point that he won't be moving for him. It doesn't mention Hearts as a possible destination by itself, it's only referencing others mentioning it. The point is that they clearly didn't know he was about to sign, in fact they believed the opposite. Just because the EEN don't know about it doesn't mean it's going to happen. I didn't think that statement would be particularly controversial, but here we are. It’s like we’re chatting on the phone and I say I’m thinking about going to Dundee on Thursday. I speak to you Friday and say I went to St Andrews instead. You spent Thursday thinking I was in Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 2 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: The problem is he might never get back or take over a year to do so. Look at how long it took White/Wighton/Clare and now Haring, not to mention Souttar. Even Kingsley is not quite back to the level he was where he got caps. When you have two strikers at the club who are similar in style and injury prone I think it would be best to steer clear. A big guy and a quick one might be the way forward unless Savage can unearth someone who is both. I think you are spot on there. My own feeling is that Wighton won’t be offered a contract so we’ll be looking for two in the summer. We are light in that department just now so I would not be surprised to see someone in on loan shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haveyouheard1874 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The January transfer window is usually poor,,ill take getting Ginnelly and Irvining signed, GMS was a cracker as we walk the Championship. Though it would be sweet bringing in a striker of note, can but hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Neilson has always liked having options up front so I would expect him to get two in the summer too depending on who we get in the next few weeks I suppose , I agree Wighton will be away.

Bet ICT wouldn't take him back. ...the thing is, I don't think he's supposed to be in the middle. He's a winger but spends most of his time coming inside. This is what frustrates me. At least Frear stays on the wing - btw, I thought he had his best game for us on Saturday (I know that's not much of a testament... but remember, I couldn't see him in the first half - thanks cameraman!), took his goal well though. I like to give players a fair bit of game time before making a judgement - but Roberts is not good enough... I even think RN is getting a bit exasperated with him.

alanbauld Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 A lot of talk about wingers on this thread, not much point in fielding them unless the team plays the build up for them. In the early days of the season the wingers were getting the ball played square, to feet and with an opposition player in front of them, not many wingers could do much with that other than pass back or square again. Its getting better but should always be a ball to the winger goes through the channels to the space somewhere in front of the winger allowing him to reach the ball at full speed, still not happening often enough but is getting improved upon. Once that becomes second nature then it will show up for sure who the real wingers are and aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the camera work not the fancy new one that follows the ball, and went up and down the line with a baldy linesman early in the season? The other side of the pitch looked miles away, it took me a good few minutes to realise GMS was on and couldn’t see if it was a straight red.

Definitely, when Roberts received a ball like that with nobody in front of him he slowed down and cut inside then lost the ball. Irving is a bit deep to really play them, you could see GMS playing right on the line awaiting those passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart500 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It seems to me from the various snippets posted that we have enquired about Moult but it would be for next season. Makes absolute sense considering his current injury problems. Was there not talk that we were pursuing 4 striker options for this window? I would hope this is continuing in the background and we can get someone in. Someone able to hit the ground running and add value to the team.
