Hope we are keeping an eye on Charles Cook at County. 8 league goals this season and had another brilliant game tonight. 

Only thing I would say about that one would be to be cautious of consistency. I thought County signed him last summer, but they actually signed him two summers ago. I only recall him being decent this season (granted my watching of the top league dropped a lot as we weren’t in it) don’t really remember him from last season. He also turns 25 next season and seems to have only one properly good season at a decent level under his belt. Now, this season could be the result of him finally getting consistent game time and maybe he’s one who’s on the rise so would be a brilliant free transfer. But what if he’s just having an odd good season? We’ve had plenty of players on our books in the past that have fallen under that category.

I was about to say this too. Watching the highlights and he's a handful. Would offer us more than GMS that's for sure. Can't see him being too expensive either

As far as I'm aware Scandinavia refers to the geographical region, Finland is sometimes included in this. Estonia strictly speaking is not Scandinavian because it's in the Baltic region, however culturally they are similar to other Scandinavian countries and different from other Baltic countries.

 

I'm not sure there's a hard and fast definition, but the fellow I knew from Finland and the guy I knew who did field work in Latvia told me Finland wasn't Scandinavian, it was Baltic, along with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

Probably told not to ask. Quite annoying, but kinda understandable.

 

We definitely need a striker, and a box-box midfielder who likes a strike at goal.

 

And to hopefully get rid of GMS & halliday who're not good enough for us if we want to keep on improving. 

 

Bang on the money, totally agree.

Gino did no bad tonight tbf but defo agree. Hawk-eye McKay's passing tonight was a pleasure to watch 😍

[jamboinglasgow]

I reckon we may have a new signing by our next match. Based on no inside knowledge, just a feeling.

 

Though with Gnanduillet not in the squad, was there any reason given? Maybe I am reading too much into it but could it be he is sealing his move down south allowing us to get someone in as he moves out.

I reckon he has a club to go to already but we won't let him until we get at least 1 forward in. Not itk just my feeling

Considering there was 9 subs and no gnando on the bench. Must be off

Neilson said two injured and two with covid. Assume Woodburn covid and Beni still injured. Guessing Gnando is one of the either injured or covid nit accounted for.  Struggling to think who else would have even been in the squad.

Heard tonight a bid had been accepted for Gnanduillet and he was away discussing terms. Should be in the papers next day or two

Centre half and striker required - Halkett cleary needs some time out to heal, Souttar could be gone very shortly, would leave us very short at the back.

No need for a centre half or a striker, we need stendel back. Failing that, Lafferty would be a good window.

In all honesty, if I was to hear that we’re not getting a new striker this window and that we’re using Henderson. I wouldn’t be too upset about that.

Barrie McKay extension has to be priority! He is technically streets ahead!!

I thought it was this season too 😂 didn’t realise this is his second. Given his age I wouldn’t say hw has peaked yet so with better players round him you never know.

This is a must

or in six months we will be in another Souttar scenario 

don’t mess about Hearts get it sorted

our better players should never have less than 18 months on there contracts

if they don’t want to sign, we should consider selling

After watching last night's game I honestly feel we are a decent striker away from turning narrow wins and draws into convincing wins.

Funny you say that, I was thinking similar during the game last night.  Wee announcement before the weekend is my (and nothing but a) guess.

 

A CF or a CH though?!  I'd bet my kids (yep, you heard) it'll be a CF.  My kids!!

Need and want are two very different things.

 

Soiling your pants over something you want - and on a public forum of all places - is a bit silly, is all.

 

Thanks. 

[BackOfTheNet]

I’m going to wager we’ll see nothing incoming this week. Unless some media reports come out today/tonight, I imagine nothing until next week. No basis for that other than general observation of window business.

[OmiyaHearts]

I'd like to see us go for Livi's Bruce Anderson and Ross Co's Regan Charles-Cook. Players who's name seem to be on the scoresheet every other week.

Always looks good, very strong and some of his goals have been excellent. 7 goals in 20 games from a Ross County midfield? No-brainer for me.

Think you're thinking of Adebayo? Who ended up signing for Luton

[Stu_HMFC]

Surely we will be bringing in a forward and a wide player in Jan. GMS is the hide and seek champion at Tynecastle and we let Walker go out on loan.

I think we will bring in 1 maybe 2 players in Jan and get Haring and McKay longer contracts. 

 

Joe spoke well last night on Hearts TV so refreshing.
