Lone Striker Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 From what some folk more knowledgeable than me have mentioned, 1st August seems be significant as far as players in England are concerned - something to do with their contract end date and them getting their final salary. Monday 2nd August seems a worthwhile date to have a gander at Hearts twitter page - there might be a photo of 2 heavily tattooed arms holding a scarf aloft. We can then take bets on how long before the JKB oot brigade turn on him for being sh1te. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was never about the group stage, I’m not going to bash anyone over the head for that. Let’s get some perspective. My main concern is the league and that to get up and running in the league it would be beneficial if we had the signings we need in earlier. And I’ll continue to have my concerns over lack of transfers as it relates to the league season ahead but come on, the League Cup performances (and certainly results) aren’t the bat to hit anyone with. Out of interest, would you rather get better quality in slowly or just more rubbish ASAP? I'd prefer to sign 1 more very good player now and wait till the next window than sign 4-5 average squad players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to sign 1 more very good player now and wait till the next window than sign 4-5 average squad players. I think it’s a bit of a myth that to get quality we have to wait until the last four weeks of the window. I think too many are hanging on to the hope we’re waiting on some Naismith style contract expiry payoff before we sign anyone. Maybe we are, Savage’s interview indicates he was excited about the prospects after all. But I have never said we should sign mediocrity, but we have several positions where we need either improvement on the current first team or there’s no competition for places (like RB/RWB) where we could get someone in who may not be first choice. We’ve let 11 go and we’ve recently been promoted from a lower level, it’s only natural that improvements are something that has to be made, especially if we want Top 6 or a European place. We need signings, it’s only better for the team if they have time to gel. Signing players in the last days or weeks of the window does not provide that opportunity.
