jambo-fletch Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Which one was better in their spell at Hearts in your opinion? Great memories of both players and Jankauskas obviously had a better career. But which Striker was better in their time with the Jambos?

Boyces beard Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Jankauskas for me, he had everything you could ask for and created as many goals as he scored with his movement off the ball. For me he was a better all round player than Bednar but we where spoiled to have had the two of them play for the Famous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo mark Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Some of Jannys hold up and link up play was phenomenal. They were at very different stages of their careers when here. Bednar for me if I could have 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Two totally different players. Jankauskas a good target man Bednar a good poacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Janny more the team player who would set people up Roman more selfish, and hungrier to get his goal. I personally love a selfish striker, so for me, it’s Roman. Just wish we had him for a few more games in 05-06 he was injured for a few months iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri Alban Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'll have both. Janny had seen and done the lot. Bednar was a brilliant young player. Both lucky the played for Hearts and we were Lucky to see them play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerry Jambo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Great question, Janny had the pedigree but thought bednar was livelier around the box.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Janny was a more proven quality payer - he had been there done that. Bednar had the potential to be better but I’m not sure he got there? What happened to him after he left us - did he win a major euro cup?

ScottieMac17 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Janny was better... But if I had to take one now it would be Bednar... We could use a player like him in the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Bednar, up until big Marv killed him, he was unplayable. His running, his movement, his awareness. He could score all kinds of goals. He really was a top player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Can't help but think we should have done much better with those two. Shame. Janny was effortlessly class. Tzoilis kind of reminded me a bit of him in his first few appearances - like the class and intelligence he plays with is so obvious a level above anyone playing in Scotland. TBF our current team could do with someone like that, I know we have Gordon, but someone outfield who has that level of experience/ ability and in all reality probably shouldn't be here!!

Tazio Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Jankauskas if only for the shot he scored against Motherwell from the edge of the box. I’ve never seen a ball hit so hard for a Hearts goal. If he’d missed it would have killed someone in the Roseburn.

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 A bit more to Jannys game ,Bednar knew how to get at celtic though . Bednar was a bit more of an entertainer ,janny more efficient. Janny suffered a bit cause he at times seemed cold and aloof added to all the vlad shenanigans ,wasnt he accused of being a vlad stooge from hat kicker types ?.

Cruyff Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Quite different players. Janny was past his peak, good targetman, great at holding it and linking play. Bendar was the mobile one, running channels, running in behind, pacey and powerful. Personally thought Bednar was superb, should have become a much better player than he went on to be.

Seymour M Hersh Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Any had the pedigree and was getting toward the end of a great career. Roman was more at the beginning of his by comparison and I don't think we ever really saw the best of him after that dreadful (but of course unpunished, irc not even given a free kick) assault by Andrews at Tynie. So Janny just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 People are confusing the first season with the second.

Locky Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 No doubt Jankauskas was a far better player, but as the OP asked about in their time at Hearts I'd have to say Bednar. He was explosive and scored some big goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) The crazy thing about the 05/06 team is we had a guy like Janny who had won the CL a year or so before coming to us (still aged just 30) and yet when discussing our best player in that team, there are at least 5 or 6 others who could compete to be best player. Mental. In any other season - like this one for example - he wouldn't sign for us anyhow or if he did by some miracle he'd be head and shoulders above everyone else in our team, and possibly in the entire league.

Ronald Villiers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 One was on their way up, the other's career was on the decline. Both great players in an amazing spell for us. Bednar edges it for me. He was in a similar position to some of this seasons new players in that he had a point to prove and was destined for greater things. His performance in his debut against Middlesbrough was outstanding. I remember him shielding the ball from a triangle of 3 players, Southgate, Parlour and Parnaby at the corner of the Gorgie and main stands. His use of body weight to shoulder them off one by one, whilst in possession of the ball was sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I thought they were both really good. Bednar over Janny for me. But not great Hearts players. Great players in the last 20 years are folk like..... Gordon, Hartley, Rudi, Pressley, Niemi, Fysass, Zal IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
