DC_92 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Looks pretty good, similar in style to Osman Sow. I doubt another loan was our first choice but if the main permanent targets aren't possible then a loan with a view to sorting it out in the summer is the next best option.

Looks like some finisher to be fair to the lad. Always scores for the Reserves / U19s or whatever they are now so could be worth a place in team perhaps towards the end of the season if we get to a point where European qualification is relatively safe. That said, Euan Henderson will likely be given a chance first though (and rightly so I would say).

bobby bombscare Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If he comes on loan till the summer and we sign the Japanese boy and Shankland over the summer, then i'm happy with that. This boy should see us through to the summer and we will be able to recruit far more effectively with the promise of European football (and with the guaranteed income that brings) in the summer transfer window.

Definitely knows where the goal is though - I'm sure when I looked him up in the summer he'd scored >30 goals in <20 games in EPL2 and was making mincemeat of the likes of Mason Greenwood 🤣.

Naisys Tackle Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He's really highly rated at Everton and Blackpool want him back on loan this month. This tells me it would be a really good move, loan or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Shame he signed a new contract recently as could have been a signing similar to Cochrane, but if we are not getting our long term striker targets this window then a loan like that is ideal. His loan at Blackpool was successful and seems to be rated. I do think the fact that it mentions we have spoken already to Everton and in talks, with past record of these things usually means that it should be wrapped up relatively quickly (I suspect he will be signed by Friday.)

It makes sense to keep a hefty chunk of a wage bill to play with this summer. This would be massive progress for us. Qualifying for Europe feels absolutely crucial if we want to keep cracking on. The financial rewards of playing those games alone would allow us to spend some money, perhaps increase the wage budget/cap, which will mean we can attract players who are that little bit better and ultimately reel in the OF that little bit closer.

Yeah, totally agree with you. A loan seems the best option for just now and if it works, no reason we can't make an offer to evert on for him. But although it is important to finish with European football, you will defo get value for money when you are offering guaranteed European football if they are in the first team. the old firm have used that to their advantage for years. It is an excellent way for any player to secure a big money move and many will opt for European football over a bit extra cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Like the look of Simms going by Beni and Woodburn's quality. A loan or two makes total sense if we can't find a good enough long term signing right now. Strengthens the squad for the run in and buys us some time to find the right players for next season onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm fine with loans for a bit of extra squad depth when the right signings aren't out there. As has been said previously, January is a tricky window to do permanent deals. Aside from that, the Simms lad looks quality. Quick and strong, although I hope there's not just a bit of highlights syndrome with his pace - some of the defending down south is just awful.

It's quite incredible how many players, promising/ can't get a game would fit and suit playing for Hearts, I hope we can be successful as a football club first and foremost, but i would love too see the day when the club has achieved selling players for £5-£10mil because of how well we have done, as you say we are a great incentive if we are playing in Europe, Savage and recruitment team have done really well, I can't praise them enough, okay they haven't got every signing right, but Beni give us sell on value, Devlin sell on value, I hope the club can get the rewards for getting these players career's back on track or in the right direction, because realistically the only chance we will ever get close to the old firm is playing in Europe, and getting player sales.
