Holtie Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Another player we talk up, probably out of desperation, but who for me still has a lot to prove. He is injury prone, no matter what he may claim, and while I accept he has pace and no little skill he had zero composure - the cup final being a prime example. Is he better than what we have got...probably, but I just have a feeling a year from now he will be yet another under performer. I’m probably being too negative but it’s happened so often previously.

copa-mundial Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Of the games he did play. ( I know it's not many.) Have a look at his goals and assists ratio, to games played. No denying when he played. He was a game changer. The cup final being the obvious stand out. He really should have won it for us in regulation time. It would be seen as a very risky signing, giving what we have witnessed injury wise. However. Like Souttar. It's a risk worth taking I think.

Floridajambo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Can we please for once, just sign a player who is under-30 AND not going to spend 50-100% of his time at Hearts in the treatment room. Sorry, but I was underwhelmed when we signed GMS and I would be underwhelmed by this one too. We should keep Gordon, Smith, Irving, Boyce and Gnanduillet and clear out pretty much all of the rest. A few can stick around as backup and might improve with a better manager but we have had years of this scattergun approach to signings and it has stop.

sjh1874 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I used to slaughter Murray Park (Auchenhowie) at The Rangers as a glorified canteen. Not even sure if our catering even meets the standard. From the start of the CL debacle until now its been fruitless and under-used. Surely there is talent there? Is it simply being ignored or under-developed?

Agreed. He’s better than what’s came in (GMS, frear, roberts, kastaneer) but that wouldn’t be hard as they are below average players. Granted GMS clearly has the most ability out of them all. Happy to see him involved next season but I’m no as convinced as some folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. I can't see his wages being too much. Offer him a yesr with a year's extension if he proves himself.

DH1986 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) He did more in his small handful of appearances than the rest of our wingers have combined so far this season.

queensferryjambo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hearts fans have moaned about signing players who are injury prone for the last 3 seasons. Yet still crave Ginnelly to come back. He as hardly even played for us this season due to injury problems. IMO we have been so shit all season Ginnelly has become a success in our eyes by default, he seemed to get more and more successful the less he played. I think he could be a good player but he is not worth the risk IMO. Here are his appearances for Hearts and time on the field and the amount he was injured. Seeing it in black and white might surprise some as to how little he actually played for us this season. 3 league cup games, 6 league games and 1 Scottish Cup game. League cup - Played 83 minutes against Inverness Played 90 minutes against Cowdenbeath Played 19 minutes against Raith Misses other 2 league cup games due to injury League - Played 75 mins against Dundee and played well. Played 9 minutes at Arbroath before going off injured. Not in the squad for the next 4 due to injury. Played for 28 minutes vs QOTS and scored in the 91st minute when we were already 5-1 up. Not in the squad for the next 3 due to injury. Played 25 mins vs Alloa scores in 93rd minute we won 3-1. Played 40 mins vs Raith we lose 3-2. Played 16 minutes vs Raith away goes off injured. Season over due to injury. Scottish Cup - Misses semi final due to injury. Final plays 33 mins normal time and 30 mins extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
