Sounds like you’ve just fabricated a narrative which is the same thing you accuse the een of doing. You’ve just completely made something up. On what basis does it lack credibility? You have absolutely no clue if he was neilsons top target or not.

Drawing attention away from yesterday? 

Aye, that's right, folk have forgotten we got Beat yesterday...... 

WTF you on about? 

 

The only thing that lacks credibility is your post suggesting Robbies comments lack credibility.

Unless he’s shite, in which case there can be no doubt Neilson will be to blame 

Yawn. Neilson is a Scottish championship manager who bores fans wherever he goes. He was hounded out of Hearts first time round, found out at MK Dons and then Dundee Utd were completely indifferent when he left.

IMO this will really be his first signing influence.

I do not count GMS because when it was known he was available, we would have been after him even if Cathro, Levein, MacPhee or Stendel had been manager.

For once I think I agree with you Al. I’m away for a sleep.

It's hard to get too excited about new additions knowing the culture and mindset they are coming into set from top downwards...it should be attack attack attack, go for the throats of the opponents, bodies bombing forward and playing with a pride and passion reflecting that of the loyal fans that keep this club going....

 

Instead it's talking a great game to the press and continally giving pitiful displays only worsened by the next. Imagine saying that about our team and staff so far down the line under this regime 👎

 

 

The stats would say the exact opposite from what you have posted. 

I don't know what you are watching. 

 

We are scoring plenty but conceding too much. 

We are also top. 

Even yesterday we scored 2 and still got beat. 

 

Too much fifa, sky or football manager for some. 

Absolute tripe.

Pleased with this and hope we get him in soon. 

 

Of more concern it's obvious to every man and his dog that we need to sign at least one centre half. 

 

The bigger the better too in my book. Someone physically intimidating and good at organising because what we currently have is a joy to opposing forwards.

 

Then get a second one in. 

 

Easier said than done, I know, but Joe Savage must surely be aware of some big brutes down south. 

 

Big, physical Hearts are nothing of the sort these days. It's time we became so again because when we are classed as such then we know opponents are worried.

 

So let's get it done.

Not only on yesterday's showing but I have always been impressed by Kyle Benedictus and think he should be playing at a higher level

Totally agree. Berra and Halkett look worse in stature and likely to be bullied in every match. The also look slow like 90% of our team to be fair so a defender with size and pace would be most welcome.

I would start with Irving, Stone and Logan. From what I’ve seen they are the most likely to progress. Other who have seen our youngsters play more regularly than I have may have other opinions. For the academy  to start to work for us, it has to start producing.

You would think so, but it hasn't and possibly never will. 

[jambopilms]

Beginning to think that a clogger like Butcher is exactly what we need. Someone with legs that work and can tackle. We have a midfield of broken , half hearted losers.

Its a very sneaky one, nothing in the press (as far as I have seen) have said Hearts have agreed terms with Walsall. Only that Hearts have agreed terms with Elijah. 

 

Either they are trying to get their fans behind them to create an us v them mentality by misleading things, or they have not read the articles properly and jumped the gun.

Our defensive pairing needs improved but it’s not that bad that folk should be touting Kyle Benedictus!

Burnley are sending Jimmy Dunne out on loan according to Alan Nixon. I'd imagine he'll be off to the English Championship rather than the Scottish Championship though.

 

 

If that's the case then what are we waiting for. You don't ask you don't get.

[bmxweeman]

Realistically what chance do we have of getting some of the better CBs who are available on pre contracts? Would be massive signal of intent from the club to get 1 or 2 tied up

Exactly. I think the topics feed into each other. If we could bring through a few more decent quality young players from the academy it would put less pressure on the club to have to sign 7+ new players every season. 

They feed in if you make them.  If we had a totally successful academy (and no one has) we wouldn't need to be discussing a transfer window.  We're at where at so why bring the academy up now?  That could apply any time if you're not happy with it.

I'll get pelters for this.. but i thinks Popescu is our best CB at the moment. I don't think it's a coincidence that from the day Halkett arrived we have had defensive issues. He is constantly beat for pace, constantly caught out of position and constantly makes poor decisions. Popescu makes just as many poor decisions, but at least he is dominant in the air and has the pace to catch players if he's caught out of position or beaten. 

You’re spot on actually, scary though that is.

[heartsfc_fan]

While it's great we're after a striker, it's clear that a centre half and a central midfielder should be a higher priority.

Are we planning on moving Naismith into a midfield role? I can't see how Boyce, Naismith and Adebayo would all fit into a starting line up.

Ah, great, another big striker that guid Scottish laddies can kick tae ****. So long as we know.

I fear it is the latter. If Walsall know they are getting money regardless they may just keep him until EoS and take a smaller amount. That is what I would do in their position.

They don’t get any money for him in the summer.
