Jamhammer Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 2 hours ago, SidewaysFitba said: If Hearts could read the room they'd realise that our first signing has to make a statement, make people sit up and take notice. There are ST's to sell at some point, and Hearts fans seem generally miserable. Fans aren't buying into Neilson or the board, so the signings become all the more vital. You want your first arrival to be one that makes fans want to renew their ST. Not a jobber who we launched ages ago.😒 Is our first arrival not a dreadful goalkeeper who was 3rd choice at Livingston?

Doc Rob Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I’m not saying that Callachan is a player we should be trying to sign. But I will say that our team has been crying out for that *type* of player since, well, since we brought Ryan Edwards in from the cold, he scored in the Cup Final, and then we released him. Every successful team needs a grafter or two. They don’t need to be the best footballers around, but they need lots of energy, bags of commitment and a willingness to fight for everything. Tell me that isn’t what we’ve been lacking for the last two seasons. Ideally we’d sign someone who has all that and talent as well. But these players are like gold dust.

He was at Charleroi this season. 28yrs old. Luke O'Nien at Sunderland would be a fantastic signing for us. Absolute work horse, great attitude, and actually a no bad player as well.

This season the leagues full of shite and we lost our two cup games to Alloa and Broara. It's not been a successful season. The bear minimum has been done. It would be the equivalent next year of finishing 6th and losing in the cup to the above teams. You always compare your achievements to your rivals too and it doesn't help the other side of the city have finished 3rd in the top league and are in the Cup Final on Saturday. I always had a sneaky feeling you were a bluenose from your username but the underlined word dispels some of my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if If you have a spine of Gordon Souttar Haring Gms Boyce There is space for a grafter or 2 as well as more quality to bring balance to the overall team. Callachan imo just falls short on his all round game being good enough to be propped up by his goal scoring ability . Real shame tbh. Can't put it any better than a poor man's John Millar and a really poor man's Colin Cameron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Morgan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Let's not go back the way and sign a below average player in Callachan.

Glottis Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Him and Odoffin have played very well in an extremely pish team this year. They'd have been relegated long before they were without both of them - sign them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamishMcGonagall Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Not watched any SPFL football this season but I see he scored 9 goals and had 3 assists in a Hamilton team that only scored 34 goals. That's not bad going for a midfielder. Obviously we should be aiming a lot higher based on how he performed when he was here previously though. Think he'll end up at Livingston or Kilmarnock (if they stay up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent deal for Livvy potentially as Anderson looked promising initially and is still young. Aberdeen going backwards. Really hope they continue their slide, if only to prove they were only so consistently high up in the league under McInnes because most of their usual rivals were in disarray.

Not aimed at you, but I ****ing hate that excuse for not signing someone. Its so incredibly lazy. We went back the way with Robbo, Rudi, Stevenson, Webster & Gordon and it was fine. Callachan has just had an absolutely incredibly good season on a personal level, scoring 10 goals in 30 odd appearances. The laddies confidence will be through the roof and he's spent the last few years since we let him go building experience at this level. Its not like last time where he was making a huge step up. I'm struggling to think of why we wouldn't want him. Thats a good return and he adds energy and movement as well as a genuine goal threat.
