SectionDJambo Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think I'm right in saying that 2 or 3 of our January signings, encouraging though they all seem to be, hadn't played any competitive football for weeks before they joined Hearts. No bad reasons for this, they were previously with clubs with different playing schedules from the Scottish league. They'll need time to get match fit, in physical condition and speed of thought. That will be why they're all being gradually introduced into the team. Let's give them all some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts1975 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 GMS will be fine. Just needs a bit of time to bed in and get used to the Scottish game again. He will come good for us - no doubt about that whatsoever. Good player. Not concerned at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet anyway! Lets give the guy time to prove he's shite! And show me a club at any level with a "raft" of signings that have been "correct". We've been below acceptable average, without doubt. But we've made 4 signings this Jan and I don't think we can argue with any on the face of it. We need to support them and do what we can as fans to help them do well, something we don't do very well.

Maybe Atletico Madrid. They do well! The obvious thing here is our recruitment has been shite. No point denying it. I would say, however, that the coaching has been equally as bad, and sprinkle a bit of bad luck. Connor Washington is a no-brainer signing. Did nowt really. That's not a recruitment problem. Buuuuuut we have new coaches and a new SD. Bitching ain't gona help. Yes, they need to prove themselves, but the attitude of being crabbit until they do will help no one. Our new team need and deserve our support. I don't really care about jkb in that respect, moan away, but the attitude on here mirrored in Tynie, that's fact.

Ex member of the SaS Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) The problem clubs have with recruitment is a player may well do well at one club with certain players around him but doesn't fit well with the new club's tactics or manager or players. It's down to the manager to see which players would fit in well with his philosophy and other team mates. For example there maybe a great striker who feeds off wingers but if the new clubs doesn't have or play with wingers he will prove to be crap. I get this feeling when fans scream for Shankland, would he fit in, would he score in a different set up? I don't know, but would expect the manager to know and leave it up to him.

jimbojambo Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 He has shown flashes of his ability and still coming to terms with this division and getting fully fit so far too early to write him off. Shame we can't arrange closed door friendlies to ease him in more gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 When we signed him I thought it was a very good signing and it may yet prove to be, I was basing my opinion of him on what I have watched of his games in MLS! I mostly just watch Toronto FC matches as I'm not a huge MLS fan, he has played well in these games, with his early struggles I dug a little deeper and found his starts and minutes played had been diminishing at New York City FC and it seems the club were keen to cut ties with him! His slow start with us could in fact be due to his diminishing minutes and the long lay off between the end of the MLS season and when he first suited up for us or his career may be fading, let's hope it's the former!

I tend not to criticise players when they come to us though. I like Neilson and have liked most of his signings, though I think he got this one wrong - hopefully I am proved wrong instead That's quite an unusual takeaway from that game. 0-0 we dominated the second half. We hit the post/bar and missed a sitter? Huge crowd in the sunshine. Was it Levein's first or second game after Cathro? I remember McLaughlin and Walker, but not GMS.

Which is your point but seems a bit of a random example to judge him on. Yes, I suppose it is. But I remember him coming on and one of my mates near me saying something to the effect (in the usual gloomy way we Hearts supporters have) that he would probably score the winner against us. I'd never really paid much attention to him (having been out of Scotland for yours and just returned) so I watched him closely him as a 'new threat' and remember thinking that if he was ever good he seemed to have lost it and that he was a bit 'powder puff'. An instant judgement on 20 minutes but hey hoh - isn't that the football fans prerogative?! Anyhow as I said I hope and wish I was and am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 We should have signed him when he was at Airdrie. If I remember correctly we had him watched and were linked with a move for him, but for one reason or another it just did not happen. I still reckon he’ll do a job for us.

BackOfTheNet Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) GMS made his debut for us when he came on at half time in the 3-1 win away to Alloa. He came on for Jordan Roberts. Since then GMS has played 7 games, totalling 506 minutes (which equates to 5.6 games really). Roberts (who he replaced in more ways than just that night against Alloa) played 10 times for us, totalling 479 minutes equating to 5.2 games really. When Roberts moved to Motherwell the transfer thread title was changed to mock him and Motherwell. People were unable to contain their glee at the signing and countless people have actually labelled him either one of, if not THE, worst players ever to play for Hearts. Roberts didn’t score, but he did provide one assist. He also in the early part of the season (to me at the very least) looked like he had something about him. GMS has not scored. He has no assists. And other than a little back heel flick today to prevent a throw in I cannot remember him doing anything of note in any game he has played for us. So I would appreciate everyone who mocked Roberts and said he was one of our worst ever players - if they truly believe that - to now say it about GMS. As when it comes to minutes on the pitch GMS has actually played more than Roberts has and has contributed much less and never once looked good. Not once.
