Hopefully he is doing that now. If we can’t get our targets now then I’d be happy with a short term loan & bring Henderson back for second half of season. We don’t want another Gnando.

If as is reported Kingsley extends and a new forward signs then things are looking good to just upgrade 1 or 2 every season in the summer moving forward. We’re in a good place and hopefully finished with the days of scattergun panic signings turning up en masse and hoping the team gels.

gnasher75 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think Halkett will thrive with the responsibility of being the leader in the back 3. In his time at Hearts he has played understudy to Berra and Souttar but now it's time for him to step up and I think he is ready. Assuming Souttar goes, a Moore-Halkett-Kingsley back 3 is fine with me, ideally with Findlay or someone even better coming in to offer competition/cover.

Its a sample size of around 10 games. Looking deeper into his stats, 5 reds in 60 games, only wins 52 percent of aerial duels, likes to go to ground an abnormal amount of times per game all set off alarm bells in a central defender. Stats show his distribution to be good so maybe a future in midfield awaits, still young and will improve i'm sure but I would pass given the hype and sums of money that would be involved.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Smith has no sizzle left in him but he's rock steady and he can play four different positions. As long as he's okay with his role diminishing over the course of the contract and a smaller paycheck than he's had, I'd give him two years.

cosanostra Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 With Walker, Roberts, Gnando etc all leaving - we should have some salary space free to throw about.

I guess we've probably had to offer wage rises to Halkett and Kingsley but I think McGrath would be a great addition to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
