DC_92 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm not convinced by Polworth. We really need energy in the middle and that's not something he offers. I feel as though he's very similar to Lee. He has a decent number of assists and looks good in highlights, but doesn't actually make much of an impression in general play.

BigAlim Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Moult would be a decent signing, probably wouldn't be ready to go until next season so can use this farmers league to get himself prepared. Still think we need a different type of forward as well though, we have a lot of attacking players who would benefit massively from having an intelligent hold the ball up type of forward who stays in position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both clubs not wanting to announce yet, as Hearts think its disrespectful to the current team while still employed. We are in talks with doing the deal and getting him in now for a small fee or end of season loan but not going all out for that to happen. Happy to wait until summer. Defender on loan from EPL in discussions but not sure if will come off or not yet Thanks Dazajambo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Looks like we're going for the right type of players now - mackay-stevens, moult and before that, Boyce.

I agree, he was a great player for Motherwell but why would you take him at the moment without seeing if he has fully recovered from his injury. If as it seems he is still another 6 weeks till he is back to fitness then it makes no sense to bring him in now. You would be better agreeing a pre-contract if you want him.

I could a assume we sign him on loan with an option or condition to buy if he gets fit. (Or can we get him on pre contract?)
