The Wrinkly Ninja Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Activity out the way this window and last now means that there is nobody currently at the club who I would say isn’t of the required quality to be in our squad and push for at least a place on our bench. When was the last time we were able to say that about a squad? Aware that some are out on loan but all of the senior players on loan are not there for development I don’t think and won’t be here beyond the summer. There’s a couple more players at the club who will be next in line to be leaving, thinking about Halliday and maybe Stewart. We should never again see the yearly overhaul of a squad and are ideally placed to bring in 2-4 players a year to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited that we potentially have a long-term consistent squad of good players and i'm excited to see where they take us.

We should never again see the yearly overhaul of a squad and are ideally placed to bring in 2-4 players a year to improve. That's a really good point. As others have and will point out, the glaring one is Halliday, but he'll be away in 6 months anyway. GMS. Well the guy is good enough, is the truth and if our biggest concern is GMS being our poorest player, we're doing OK. Getting Craigy, Halks, Kingsley, Smith and hopefully Haring signed up are great signs. It means we have that steady core, not just on the pitch, but at the club setting standards. But then on the pitch, we can sell or lose someone and absorb it as we have a good squad who can pick up slack while we find or bed in one or two new players. It's exactly where we want to be and the fact we seem to have gotten there so quickly after such a shambolic squad imbalance, really shows this is just the starting point... i.e. solid foundation, so now we can add real, real quality here and there and take our time doing it.

He's been part of some crucial goals this season - goal against Celtic, winning pen at Dundee Utd, scoring opener in tight game against St Mirren, winning pen against Aberdeen at home just a few of the top of my head. We don't play to his strengths, but reality is we have some really good options for his position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Lots of activity from Hearts social media this morning.

Two for the summer window I reckon. Halliday is now just a backup player; his contract is up at the end of the season and I can't see us being that keen on renewing, but he will need replacing. I don't think he'll be keen on renewing either because he's the kind of player who wants to play (and still could elsewhere in the league I'd say). GMS has another year to run and whilst I think we'll still need him this season, I reckon we'll get someone in the summer window and he'll have a lesser role next season.

Agreed, and I'd think and hope loong term, these "squad" roles will be taken by kids.

Perhaps 4th choice should be a kid going forward (as I say, not particularly looking at names now, but in theory, so next season our CM options would be Beni, Haring, Dev and Pollock, with Smith if need be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
