Vlad the impaler Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 We shouldn’t be moving McEneff on as a couple of injuries in midfield and we’re light again.

I think it’s part of the reason he’s been playing at LCB as it’s less running. He seems to be playing one game and missing for the next.

Defo worth keeping unless he's looking for a move. He could play in 343 or 4231 that Robbie's played this season. Gotta trust the judgement of those in charge,but there's afew others that idmove on before McEneff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 People keep on harping on about a back 4 - but everyone moans tae **** when we change to a back 4 in games. 3-4-3 is the only formation we have looked vaguely decent in for months now - why the rush to change it.

He also is different from a lot of them where he plays positively. Far too quick to cast aside and not a great look for our management who forked out a transfer fee to get him🙄 If, say Devlin and Baningime, both get injured at the same time (which would be very unlucky) we'd still have Halliday and Haring, as well as younger players like Pollock. Woodburn can also play an attacking central role. As I said earlier, I'd probably prefer to keep him in case he comes good, but he hardly set the heather alight when he got a run of games in the Championship, so there's not much evidence to suggest he's going to make an impact in the the league above. That's especially true if he's not going to get a regular start for us. Most people agree we need more signings. If getting our 5th choice CM off the books frees up enough wages to help us strengthen more lacking areas then it's a bit of a no-brainer, really.

Going on loan might improve his chances with us long term. If he could do really well on loan could return ready to move up the pecking order. Clearly already behind Beni, Haring, Halliday and Devlin will be given his chance too. I wouldn't see a loan move as writing him off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Rob Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 McEneff really hasn’t played many games for us, and a fair few of the appearances he has had have been as a sub. If he was worth paying money for last season, it’s worth keeping him around for a while, even as a squad player. I’d be disappointed if we sent him out on loan.

Leisham38 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Players like Beni, Cochrane and Woodburn are at Hearts because they don’t want to sit on the bench or in the stands and we admire them for that. Could be Mceneff is that type of player, wants to be playing and we can’t guarantee that, if so fair play. He reminds me of Olly Lee, on paper should be what we need but doesn’t show it enough and the fans start to think he is better than he is!

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Tynecastle still feels like a revolving door with all the comings and goings on the high turnover side of the squad If McEneff goes out within 8 months just casts a doubt on the judgement of who signed him in the first place, where is the belief in the player? I'm all for continual improvement of the squad but why sign a player and not give him a decent chance, other players in the team will be wondering if they will be next out of the door, we need a stable settled squad Is their still a pathway for academy players to have ambitions to play in the first team?

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I doubt we’d let a £175k signing go on a free. Weird one but I do kind of see/understand how things have moved on a bit since we originally signed him. I have also read that Devlin not only gets stuck in but also pushes forward so I wouldn’t worry about not having a midfielder who can’t take the ball forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
