DC_92 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 3 minutes ago, Armageddon said: Everything about this seems mental, given the boy we got from Man City was absolutely shite. It might be mental, but this guy is an established player for his team, playing 2578 minutes in the J1 League last season, and he just got a call-up for Japan. Meshino had only played 438 minutes in his last full season before he was picked up by Man City - he was someone who'd shown a wee bit of promise in fleeting appearances rather than someone who'd performed consistently at a decent level.

We don’t play that way at all we play narrow Attacking mids who look to slide balls through for a striker who runs in behind, if we had the boy from Celtic making runs for McKay, Woodburn & GMS to find we would be a lot closer to old firm Good post.

Still seems highly unlikely but maybe this is the new hearts now that we are stable - you genuinely do see transfer fees reinvested directly into the team instead of a director back pocket… Wouldn't at all be surprised if we're in that type of market now with Mr Anderson on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sertse Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Translated from a Japanese site: It was revealed on the 26th that Scotland's first division Hearts presented a formal offer to Sapporo forward Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa (23). With a transfer fee of over 800,000 euros (about 103 million yen) and an exceptional annual salary, he won the first year college graduate striker convened for the first time in the friendly match against Uzbekistan in January next year. He is eager. In the Scottish league, Celtic's Japan national team FW Kyogo Furuhashi mass-produced points. Hearts, who is currently in 3rd place in the league, is expecting Ogashi to do the same. However, the Sapporo side is also detaining with all its might, and the decision of the 23-year-old is drawing attention. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/2021/12/27/kiji/20211227s00002179102000c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: Vlad didn’t do moneyball FFS he did spunkball That's the point I tried to make. It's like gambling generally. It's brilliant when it works but disastrous when it doesn't. Clever gamblers bet within their means (ie how much they can cope with losing) or with the bookie's money. When they push Cruyff's boat out with money they don't have, the road can become quite rocky. The trouble is you only know the answer with hindsight.

portobellojambo1 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm assuming that it is possibly a Rangers fan who has been updating his Wikipedia page. It shows him as presently playing for Queens Park Rangers, but in 2020 he played two games for a team called Tim Skelpers and in those two games scored 4,267 goals.
