Jambo in Yorkshire Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I was in the main reception area at 1.15, Robbie arrived with 2 other guys. I didn’t see them in the Skyline but it did look like he was showing them the stadium etc. They could have been potential signings but they could have been two friends.

OTT Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I hope we haven't set out sights too high for player recruitment. I realise its Savages area of expertise, I'm just worried we're chasing players who aren't keen to play in Scotland. If we could get Regan Hendry signed up that would IMO be a very good first step. Stop wasting time of Irving and sign him up as a replacement. Young and plenty time to develop further. I'm not hugely interested in signing more 26+ year olds. I want to see some younger players who we can watch improve over the next couple of seasons before selling them on. Its been an aspect of our recruitment which has been pretty non-existent in Budges (Levein) tenure. If someone is super bored and wanted to dig up the stats, it would be interesting to see a percentage breakdown of every player signed since Budgement day.

Hopefully we have our top targets, say Campbell and Dunne for instance and we do our utmost to get them but if we don't, I hope we have secondary targets that are more gettable. We have to aim high imo, we need players that are better than what we already have. If Savage and Neilson mess this up, we're up shit creek.

Absolutely, they have to get the players in that's going to get us challenging for trophies and have us in European football next again season anything below that should just not be excepted full stop, they have had time and by the sound of it money to spend so there cant be any excuses imo.

BackOfTheNet Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Problem I think with young Scottish players, unless they think they’ll get really homesick, look to get moves to the Glasgow two or down south. That’s what they see as a step up, unfortunately a move to us would either be too small at step up or a sideways move (in their minds). For younger players it’s less about the money so they’re showing ambition (again, in their minds) to go down south. As they think they can replicate McGinn, Robertson etc rather than be one of the hundreds in the lower leagues. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, Hearts are seen as a team that challenges for top six and maybe a cup. That’s how young players see us. So if you’re offered a team in the English Championship that is promising to challenge for promotion to the Premier League (as about 20 out of 24 genuinely believe they can get at least a play off place each season) - and yes more money which helps - or a chance you sign for us I can see why they would choose down south. Younger English players are more realistic about what lower league English football is like and they can see us as a chance to possibly challenge for cups and get into Europe as well as playing in bigger games than they’re used to. Foreign players see it that way too as well as a chance to possibly get noticed down south. Edited June 13, 2021 by BackOfTheNet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Selling Heart of Midlothian and Edinburgh to a good quality player is the easy part Jefferies was a master at it. Getting a good quality player to sign with Neilson in charge is a whole different ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I always remember Stevenson when he arrived. Jeffries stood him outside Tynie and asked him if he really knows what playing for Hearts is all about. He didn't but soon learned what it meant to pull the top on. He has said so enough times. I can't really see Robster doing similar. Maybe that's why we had so many good foreign players when Jeffries was around the first time, sold the club and convinced them that this is a club that matters. They all still love Hearts as well.

Doc Rob Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I’ve always found it fascinating how the overseas players we sign most always speak very fondly of the club afterwards. The same can’t be said of Hibs. Which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget the players in question we're getting put up in the Caledonian hotel for months on end. They were well looked after by the club back then. Money ultimately wee couldn't afford.
