Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Rick Sanchez said: Would be slightly disappointed if we played Grant in CM and not the 10. He obviously prefers being further forward. Would like a stand out CM to keep Devlin and Haring on their toes. Robbie wanted two more “no. 10” type players - Grant is the first IMO.

After that the whole team declined. He is at an age where playing for Gillingham is respectable considering he has his family down south too. Another player scapegoated by a strange set of fans He's shite, He looked decent in a pish hearts team. He wouldn't get near the team now.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Looking forward to how the loan market plays out. With a limit, chances are getting actual loans could be very difficult, however conversely, it may allow opportunity to buy players who are maybe later in their development as clubs seek to get some return on players, like Cochrane, Levitt, Simms, Ronan, who will be short of that very top level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixHearts Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Not including youth players, we're two deep at every position now besides RCB, ST and CM GK: Gordon/Stewart RWB: Atkinson/Smith RCB: New signing/Neilson CB: Halkett/Sibbick LCB: Kingsley/Rowles LWB: Cochrane/Halliday CM1: Haring/Devlin CM2: Baningime/new signing RW: Forrest/Ginnelly CAM: Grant/McEneff LW: McKay/GMS ST: Boyce/new signing 3 or 4 more signings, potentially an upgrade to Stewart and add in guys like Henderson, Logan and Connor Smith and that's a decent sized squad for the season ahead. Doubt we'll bring in both Simms and Shankland. Know who I (and most people) would prefer of the two but the other is not a bad consolation.

Newcastle will be investing a significant sum of money into their academy in the next year or so, we seem to get on well with Everton and maybe one of the London clubs, Brentford perhaps with the Pressley connection. I’m not saying we rely on loan players, but it’s a shrewd thing to do IMO. Proof is there with Cochrane and Simms. Get first dibs on them sort of thing.

I think when the two of them played to gether Boyce spent more time chasing the ball down in the middle of the park rather than playing as a striker and I felt that it was Simms presence that allowed him to do that ...................................

I'm sorry, i know its all about opinions but i couldn't disagree more about Boyce. He missed a few good chances but his overall contribution was good. He works hard, he tracks back, helps out the defence and midfield and brings players into the game.

Why people can't see that absolutely baffles me Taking the semi final as an example. It was about 60 minutes in and my 9yr old turned to me and said "I think that was the first time Boyce has found his teammate with a pass." And he was right. Every second touch was a tackle. I'm not disputing Boyces work rate but very often he was making hard work for himself with poor touches and giving away possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 A couple of quality new forwards will ensure that the likes of Boyce won't be picked regardless of form like the last couple of seasons.
