FarmerTweedy Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 13 hours ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: Juanma was a decent finisher and scored good and important goals for us. I think he got 13 in his first season which with our general record was decent. Never understood the hate. We don’t have the funds to sign the “perfect” striker. The problem, for me at least, with Juanma was mainly frustration at his lack of effort. In most games, there were numerous instances of him being totally absent from play because he was way offside and making no effort at all to get onside. Occasionally it would be because he'd made a run anticipating a ball played in behind the defence which never came, but mostly it was simply because we'd been attacking, lost possession, the opposition had moved forward including their defence, and he simply wouldn't bother to even break into a brisk walk back up the park. We'd regain possession and look to play the ball forward and he'd still be yards offside and doing nothing, frequently leaving us effectively a man down. I'm sure he'd claim he was conserving energy or something, but in reality he simply wasn't putting the effort in, which was a real shame, as he had enough other attributes to be outstanding for us.

Whereas a false 9 is more in between a striker & a 10, usually played in place of an out & out striker ie Peps Barca/current City team, Totti at Roma, Firminho at Liverpool, Spain under Del Bosque did it in some games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted its a small sample but I've Seen him play about 10 times over the last 2-3 years and has had a calamity every time - Jordan McGhee vibes about him. Realise he's young but would not be excited in the slightest to see him come our way. How did you manage to get into the game on Sat?

If as is reported Kingsley extends and a new forward signs then things are looking good to just upgrade 1 or 2 every season in the summer moving forward. We’re in a good place and hopefully finished with the days of scattergun panic signings turning up en masse and hoping the team gels.

gnasher75 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think Halkett will thrive with the responsibility of being the leader in the back 3. In his time at Hearts he has played understudy to Berra and Souttar but now it's time for him to step up and I think he is ready. Assuming Souttar goes, a Moore-Halkett-Kingsley back 3 is fine with me, ideally with Findlay or someone even better coming in to offer competition/cover.
