The frontman looks set to make the switch to their Championship promotion rivals for the season. Wighton had started the season in Robbie Neilson’s team but has fallen down the Tynecastle order pecking order. The Pars are now looking to close a loan deal after their Tynecastle defeat today. Wighton was also wanted by Hamilton and Arbroath but looks set for East End Park. Hearts are prepared to sanction the deal after moving 12 points clear of Dunfermline and the chasing pack in the Championship. Why do we always let players go then end up fannying abt on last day and if we get nobody squad is weakened. I hope Joe is on the ball.

Whilst I agree that we probably need to move some on before bringing others in our squad is a normal size. Just checked and we have a squad of 27. From that 27, 3 are our for the season (Souttar, Brandon, Ginnelly) and three are extremely out of favour and unlikely to even make a bench (Wighton, damour, Moore). Parking those three just now with the injuries we have a pool of 24 for 18 places. Don't think that's excessive and a couple more wouldn't hurt.

I agree to an extent and it'd be great to see maybe McGill, Smith, Logan etc get some mins (wld mean cutting short loans but those leagues... well, when they playing??) BUT... if we can secure players now we really want, we should do it. If we can get the likes of Findlay or Campbell and bring them in now rather than summer. Totally go for it, no? I guess the point is that signings should be aimed at next season/definite improvement. That all said, if there's the likes of a loan of some wonder kid speed demon til end of season, fair enough I guess. Just hope we don't bring someone in simply cos they're a winger and available.

As someone else said signings should only be about next season and at the moment we don’t know if fans will be allowed back into grounds yet and if not clubs will be looking to trim outgoings/ players more, possibly including ourselves.

It seems to be the case that we can't put together more than one good performance after another. We played really well on Tuesday but were not great yesterday and that seems to be the story of our season so far. We have manged to grind out wins though when not playing that well which is a good thing but like you I feel this league is far from "done". Ayr had a good win yesterday and will be confident going into our game and if we turn up and play as we did against Raith than we will win but we all know what Hearts are like. Will we turn up or have another Dundee type performance? Much will depend on who we sign this window and getting Armand fully fit so he can play for longer. One good thing is that we have had two clean sheets this week which is good news especially against two of our closest challengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
