Looks like he joined on loan initially for the 18/19 season, impressed, and signed a 2y deal at the end of it when his Stoke contact expired. Stoke had failed miserably to get back up to the Premier league that year so maybe they had to drastically cut costs and release anyone they could.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 After Haring surprised we never looked at that market again. EFL doesn't translate well to SPFL or vice versa really. Mind you Brexit probably scuppered that route or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s fit (apparently he is) what a signing It’s his fitness that’s the problem, he’s only played twice in the last two years. Might be a risk worth taking and Savage will know everything about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No qualms paying him good money if its on an incentive basis, but we don't want to be caught short if the lad breaks down again. Suspect there will be a lot of teams in england at league 1 level eager to sign him up regardless. So might be tricky to get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah over a 3-4yr period in my job I've seen quite a lot of lower league English teams but haven't heard of everyone I've listed. The names I've underlined I've either seen them play and thought they looked alright, some of them I've only heard of. In terms of actually recommending any of them though I don't think I could since I haven't been anywhere in over a year 🤷🏻 Edited May 13, 2021 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Batistuta87 said: This Ryan Sweeney from Mansfield has tweaked my interest. Irish U21 cap, 24yo now, 6ft4, left sided centre back, a "beast" apparently, aggressive and strong, highly regarded in his younger days and was being chased by just about every big English club while he was at Stoke... I was sold at left sided. If we can't get Jimmy Dunne or Wallace Murray then this lad makes sense. I want to see players play in their natural position. Souttar is a right sided centreback, although he could play on the left since he's got good feet. preferably though, we'd partner him with a left footer.

Anyone signing him is taking a chance, look at how long it’s taken Haring to get back, can we wait on him getting up to speed. I would rather take a chance on Ginnelly to be honest.

Nor is letting your opponents know up front that you've now come up with a plan b. They'll know as soon as you use it, what it is and also that, if it fails, the only alternative is the already failed plan a. Isn't a head coach, even at Hearts' level, supposed to have more than 2 weapons in his arsenal? And should he be flashing them at all and sundry beforehand? Did he get his coaching badges at Disney Land?

gregzy2k7 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 As long as whoever we bring in has been properly scouted by savage and the recruitment team and not just watched on wyscout or whatever it is, then hopefully it will be an improvement, i want more signings like McEneff, players that have the potential to be really good and that we can hopefuĺly sell on later for a fee. Although having said that if the right player is available but doesn't fit in with that, then you still have to push the boat out for said player.
