My source is a family member who has absolutely no need to talk rubbish so with my source and yours it sounds like a deal is very very close. TBH I am a bit funny with GMS. He seems well liked wherever he has went but I am not so sure on him as a player. Depends which version of GMS we get and how much he has left in him. Quite liked him as a player at his peak but it been a while since he’s been there. Right attitude and application and he’s a good signing. Here for a pre-retirement holiday and doesn’t care much as long as the wages are paid and he’s a bad signing. At face value he’s a substantial upgrade on what we have in his position Edited January 8, 2021 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Interesting one. Anyone follow MLS and know how he got on? Just looked at the NY team and thought I’d recognise names as they’ve had Villa, Lampard and Pirlo in the past. And Vieira as coach. But don’t recognise anyone and Ronny Deila is their coach these days. As long as he still has hits wits about him and not injury laden this seems like a great signing.

Bluesy1874 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Aslong as he stays away from the water of leith we will be alright 😁. A player who I wanted us to sign a few years back so will be chuffed if this gets done. Bit inconsistent like all wingers but very good when on form and if memory serves me right always scores against Hibs.

He seems well liked wherever he has went but I am not so sure on him as a player. I've always liked him as a player because he doesn't just play on the left-wing but also on the right-wing. He's quite comfortably two-footed and also has an eye for goal meaning he's competent enough to even play through the middle. I remember at the time he signed for Aberdeen i was a bit peed off about it and on a post just recently (can't remember if it was earlier in this thread or a different one tbh) i didn't think he'd ever play for Hearts in his career purely because if it had been between Aberdeen and us, he would return to Pittodrie and to what he already knows. If it is confirmed that he is signing for us then i for one will be quite pleased about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 4 minutes ago, jambonian said: I think it was pretty obvious that we were going to need another striker after Washington and Ikpeazu left. We were going to be too light-weight upfront if any of them were injured. Luckily we've got away with it so far. Also said we desperately need central defensive cover. With Souttar still out long-term, Berra on his way out leaving only Popescu in defence it was, and still is the most obvious area of the team to sort out. A lot of goals we've lost are so avoidable with an out-and-out centre-half in there to deal with stuff, tackles, corners, free kicks etc. Definitely. We've only really got Boyce, Naismith and Wighton. Wighton is more of a wide forward, and Naismith more of an attacking midfielder. Need another out and out centre forward.

paleredfox Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 IMO agreat signing and potentially an excellent signing given the current economic and footballing situation. I doubt we can make him any worse (famous last words) so as long as he plays to a similar level as he has done so in the past, then it’s a step up from what we have.

Pace is hugely over rated. Energy or legs, fitness levels to get around the pitch, I would agree. One paced team right enough, but this is also a byproduct of other team's quite happy to leave us with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sausage Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Quality player. Good signing. Pisses all over our current options out wide (Ginnelly excluded possibly). Roberts/Frear/Moore/Henderson/Walker - all dropped to the bench/reserves. Hopefully a striker of similar quality, Kingsley/Irving both signed up on longer deals and a new centre back.

Rick Sanchez Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It's been revealed Robbie will specify what he's after in a player, Joe will identify 3 or 4 and they'll both decide. So with nothing else better to do I thought I would make a list of Joe Savage signings whilst he's been in his post. I doubt all were his signings but it might give an idea to where he might be looking.

We are just going through the same old shit - fill gaps one season, fill again the next ad infinitum. No structure, no stability no reliability.
