The issue is we won't know until last minute as teams normally wait until near deadline day to loan players out. that might be subject to if everton get relegated as he might get more of a look in if they are in the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should really be looking to sign a premanent striker as our priority and look to bringing in a loan if we can't fidn the right type of player.

Cruyff Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 We need a huge squad next season. We're in 4 competitions, then the world cup starts winter 2022. Come the restart of the league post WC, we'll be playing a game every 2-3 days for 3months. Plus we have to gradually improve season on season. It's a big job for JS this coming summer. Needs to replace Soapy too. Hopefully the prize money this season and European Football will allow us to increase the depth and quality of the squad.

Could be even have a Brazilian playing up front for us next season. But will depend if we get to European group stages. Love a Brazilian player, we do seem to have a good record with them, Camazzola was good in his brief time and Rossi was a rock at the back. Though remember seeing at the end of the January window, someone posted we tried to sign a South American but it fell through due to agent fees. Could be a fascinating summer for who we sign, especially if we get the European group stages. After the recruitment this season, it bodes well.

I think the ship has sailed with that one. Pretty sure Ogashiwa signed a new 2yr deal after we dropped our interest so aye that ship has sailed. The other one (Ueda) was the really interesting one IMO. His contract is up in Jan so we could approach him again in the summer if we're still interested. Interesting to see who this Brazilian is - assuming its from an EPL team then there's only really Kayky at Man City who has been called "the next Neymar". Tricky wee right-winger who has played for the first team in a cup game. If I remember rightly they paid something like £10M to sign him from Fluminese though so sounds like a bit of an odd one to be sending up here but would make a little more sense if we're playing a good number of European matches next season. There's also Joao Pedro at Watford but considering he's been getting a game there so that sounds highly unlikely.

I am not so sure we dropped our interest so much as they wanted to keep him and were being difficult to negotiate with and persuaded him to stay with them which is why we dropped our interest as I understood it at the time.

Not blaming the club for not having them this season with no reserve or u23s (plus Pollock injury), but next season hopefully see these guys and maye Logan hang around.

We've some pretty decent athletes these days (couple of years back I'd have backed myself to win a race with the squad!), so must be very quick indeed. Def looked very well developed physically for his age when he played. That's quite something to have in your arsenal if a team uses it properly. Our issue at times has been not using pace well. We're a very good counter attacking team and having Pollock with pace and power bursting through the middle can only be good. Let's hope we see more of the kid.

Haha aye same here; definitely could have beaten Aaron Hughes in a foot race!! He ran like he was towing a caravan, although in fairness he played on until he was about 63yo. I just remember that 5-0 game against Livi whenever I think of him. Total carthorse. Same about Pollock though, I thought he was still built like a wee laddie but I was sitting in the front row away to St Johnstone so subs were warming up right in front of us and he definitely looked like he'd been hitting the gym.

Still a massive thing when you compare our youths to even the ones down south. Huge physical diifference. And is that training and diet? Genetics(hi there Strachan)? Or simply that it's the lads who have the ability + the physique who make it at elite level whereas if you're Scottish you need one or the other?!?!?! Def think we can do more to have our boys more athletic in Scotland, and think Hearts can and will be at forefront of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
