Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 4 minutes ago, davemclaren said: I’m not dissing Souttar but we can’t afford a readymade player like him. Absolutely true. Be unfair on Toby to expect the same level. Might take a little time for our unit to gel, but we have a cushion if Souttar leaves immediately and good quality to defend as a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Daddy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 22 minutes ago, RobNox said: Not entirely true, according to his Wikipedia page... Toby Peter Sibbick (born 23 May 1999) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Scottish Premiership club Hearts. He also had the chance to play for Hibs just prior to signing for Hearts, but told them they were shite and ram it. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazhearts Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It will be really interesting to see where we play him long term. Has he been signed to play in the back three? Or as a long term replacement for Haring? Or as a utility man? Either way if we are planning to run with a small squad then he is the type of player we need. I reckon he could cover centre defence, right wing back and centre midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight replacement for Souttar 6'2", mobile and can carry the ball forward. Be very surprised if that slot wadn't earmarked for him.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 He looked the part but didn't he go down with glandular fever or something like that and it meant he dropped out of the team.

I'm not sure, Moore I think still has another year on his deal with Bristol City at the end of the season, so would involve a transfer fee if we wanted to sign him permanently. Moore seems to be 4th choice CB at the moment, really only starts there if someone else is injured, and we've even played Smith as CB ahead of him. I see Moore as a decent squad player, he's also covered RWB and done OK, but our signing policy now seems to be focused on quality over quantity. We aren't signing players to fill out the squad, but to improve the first team. The more we get it right, the more it means that players who were previously first choices drop down the pecking order and become squad players, and previous squad players become surplus to requirements.

PhoenixHearts Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 3 hours ago, Bazzas right boot said: **** me, slagging someones hair is now "racist". Telling a black man to cut his afro does in fact, objectively, stem from racist and prejudicial hiring practices dating back to the civil rights era in the US. When you do that you're basically telling them that their natural hair doesn't fit in with your conventional western appearance standards. Perhaps the poster didn't mean it in that way but it remains a fact that the practice of telling black men to cut their afros has a very problematic history. I'm not gonna argue about it any further.
