Famous 1874 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Walsall are ****ed here. Either they take what they are offered by us now, otherwise we’ll sign him on a free in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just now, Batistuta87 said: Same. I like a striker who can be in the right place at the right time and to show some composure to be able to slot these chances home. He looks like he's often the first man into the box which is what I like to see from a striker. A big lad like him would surely cause a lot of confusion in the box if he's in there early creating loose balls for, say, Boyce and Naismith to turn in and Irving and others to come on to any headed clearances. He looks quite brave, too. Half a season in the Championship might serve him well before the larger step up to the Premiership so getting him in now might well give us a better player next season.

Definitely 👍 This, along with the noise coming from the Walsall support who seem to be quite gutted about losing him, saying he'll do well etc, is encouraging. Hopefully we can get a deal done.

Barack Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Boy's two-footed too. Seem to recall, that Sow's stats weren't brilliant either upon joining us. I doubt he's here to be the next Robbo. **** it, let's hound him anyway. Is Levein getting the blame for this, or is Savage getting it, for recommendation of supposed lower league diddies?🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given his contract situation we have presumably spoken to him and had some indication that he's interested. Being optimistic we may have already agreed rough terms on a pre contract and are now asking Walsall about the possibility of getting him this month rather than the summer.

Auld Reekin' Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 2 hours ago, Batistuta87 said: Assume you're talking about Roberts and Frear, whom I agree have been utter pish at doing this. Ginnelly is still sort of finding his feet I think, but he has done well getting down the line and getting it into the box. GMS has played about 20mins but historically has been this type of player too. Smith and Kinglsey also like to get forward and do the same. Irving puts some dangerous balls in from set-pieces... If he can attack the ball in the box, and if he can wrestle with defenders, he'll do alright. He certainly has the physical attributes we're screaming out for right now. Whether or not he has the technical ability of course remains to be seen. Normally when we're linked with a striker I look at their goals v appearances and am normally pretty underwhelmed to see they're scoring at a rate of a goal every 9-10 games or something. This lad, while still young and with less than 100 pro appearances to his name, is sitting at 1 in 4. Rather than "doing an Uche", I'd much prefer he held them off, within the rules and using his strength and physique effectively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skacelsid Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 New signings have always excited me, some work out some not, that's football. Hope we sign the lad and hope is a success. If he pulls on the maroon and gives 100% he will get my and most Hearts fans backing. Sadly there are a few that would rather he flopped, strange people and best ignored.

I have posted many times that I thought Boyce would be this, but he wants to be involve Harry Kane style. Exactly what I see. Jane has dropped very deep this year and Boyce seems to be playing deeper and trying too hard/be clever which involves him losing the ball. I would rather he did a one touch lay off and turned to run behind and be in the box but he doesn't. Neilson seems to have identified that too so fingers crossed it we get this lad it allows Boyce to be more prolific in and around the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We could get him on a pre-contract now aye, but he wouldn't join up with the squad until the summer. If we want him now, we'll have to pay some kind of fee.
