Not sure what the point of subbing him would be if we need him confident and scoring. Henderson was our only fit striker but didn’t feature at all. All I’m saying is it gives the impression that RN might not think he’s the required standard. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We were always going to recruit in that department anyway." he said. "It just means we will probably need to speed it up. "But the key thing is always to make sure we get the right player. If that takes a bit longer, then it takes longer." And there is one thing we know is to take what Robbie says in press conferences about signing at face value....

DC_92 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Had a look at the previous January windows in the Budge era, going back to 2015. We've signed a total of 24 players in those windows: - 10 were signed by 20th January (42%) - 13 were signed on the 25th or later (54%) - 10 were signed in the last two days of the window (42%) So the majority of the business for the whole month gets done in the last week, and we've signed as many players in the last 2 days of the window as the first 20. That isn't a uniquely Hearts thing either, it's just the nature of this window. Maybe hold off on the panic until the last couple of days at least.

This correlates with my theory that it’s not just the players that get time off in January, but the admin staff do also. I kinda figured we wouldn’t see anything in the beginning of January, but then the Atkinson announcement and Ogashiwa rumour changed my thinking, should’ve stuck to my original hunch!

cosanostra Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not all that concerned at the moment. The management and recruitment teams seem to be on the same wavelength as most fans right now. We all know what we need and they're trying to make it happen. I'd rather sign noone than some absolute shiter like Conor Sammon or Paul McCallum. Pretty sure we'll get at least one forward and they're trying to make it someone who will help push us forward. Would be good if they arrived sooner rather than later and hopefully before the Sellik game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectormasson Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 1 hour ago, ToqueJambo said: Maybe. On the flip side, as forwards do more than score goals, we don't know for sure if we'd have played as well with another striker instead of Boyce, who has been an integral part of a great start to the season. We have needed someone off the bench to score though. Only Walker looked like doing that - still scunnered we let him go. Wish we kept walker too , even a half fit walker was better than that lump we got from blackpool ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is looking like that a bit. We have time with Henderson as the lower league loan window runs through Feb, so we can take stock after the January window closes and decide what we want him to stay at Hearts or back to Alloa.

StevenNaismith Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Relax folks, we have an unbelievable recruitment team in place. They are working on a couple of exciting forward options on permanent deals but signing good players is hard in January. If they don’t manage to pull it off then I’d envisage a loan or two from down south to tide us over til the summer window when it’s a lot easier.

To loan out/offload Walker, Gnanduillet, Henderson, Pollock, Logan and Brandon and replace them with Atkinson and one other player sounds like shooting ourselves in the foot a bit especially with basically all of our 18/19/20 year old lads currently out on loan anyway. We would be left with 20 players in total, with the current rule being 5 subs from 9 every adult footballer at the club would be in the matchday squad IF they are all available (which almost never happens). If we're not even going to trust the academy graduates to come into the squad in the event of an injury crisis then we're going to need a good 3 or 4 players in this window imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH11 2NL Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 If we don't a striker it means they recruitment team deemed no one was decent enough to sign, not a failure. Quite the opposite, Jan is a shite month to sign anyone decent let alone a striker that you'd hope is one of your best players. Changed days from us having to take punts on 6 new shit players in January. If its not now, you can guarantee Savage will have someone worth the wait in the summer. Ideally we'd want one, but we have gotten ourselves 8 clear without it so not a disaster, as others have said could be a loan to tide us over or keep Henderson whos probably an immediate upgrade on gnando.

Dayman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Someone mentioned the difference in prize money between 3rd and 4th being around 250k, or a 4.5k a week player. I’m trying to work out the standard of striker we could get for that kind of cash. Wasn’t Naismith quoted to be on around that here? I know he doesn’t follow our signing policy, but a first season Naismith would be on about 15 goals already in this team. I’d not be opposed to a similar 6 month loan if we can’t get our top couple long term options this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree…..I agree in principal it’s about improving on what you have but that can also be fanciful thinking. There will still be forwards out there that can become part of an efficient set-up and contribute something worthwhile. Are we saying there’s not someone out there with a better attitude than Gnando, as well as being as good ability wise, who couldn’t come in this window? Even if a loan? Saying all that, I’m sure we will get someone in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage and team have done a great job in the transfer dept - both outgoings and ingoings. There's a definite feel from some that any signing is better than none (despite what they post). we are 3rd top scorers in the league. we're not the bigot brothers with cash (pretend or otherwise) to chuck about - and a failed signing hurts us financially way way more than the ugly sisters who can afford to spunk cash on players who flop.
