I can’t see us ending up with a couple of players on wages double what anyone else is getting Me either and certainly hope it isn’t for Paterson. He isn’t worth breaking wage structures for imo.

That's my gut feeling too. I think we'll sign a "big name" CH and similar standard CF. Maybe a bit of dosh thrown at both. We need a CM too but perhaps more in the free market (Ronan could play there for example, and we do have Cam, Pete, Sibbick, Pollock and even Smith until Beni back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tough sell. It's the guy who is ready but maybe not established we need. You never know. Not an easy call though - never is when a club has such an obvious number 1. Didn't Man U suffer from this for years, perhaps post Van der Sar? Didn't have decent backup and couldn't find another goodun? Maybe I've made that up!

When the time does comes to replace Gordon though, I'd expect Hearts to break our transfer record to sign a GK that saves us as many points as Gordon does.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Robbie has mentioned signing experience - and players with European experience. Around the 28-30 mark. 2 or 3 players of that type. These may be the really exciting ones…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 27 minutes ago, Jamboscanbevicius said: Excellent news … have a good feeling about the long term potential of Neilson. Maybe not first choice immediately but we’ll need options next season with Euro ties. Forrest, Rowles, Neilson, and big Pete re-signed is great early business! Replaces Woodburn, Souttar, and Moore. We still need to fill places from Cochrane and Simms, and then add 2-3 more to increase squad size. Assuming nobody leaves I think we probably need a LWB, CM, CF, and maybe another CB. With our options at CB we can play Kingsley in the LWB position. He is better there than Cochrane. I still think we will look to bring someone else in for that position though as we are short of options other than Halliday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played three times this season. Summarised as below: Away to Hamilton - Conceded inside the first 5mins. Let in another two within 10mins of each other in the 2nd half. Away to St Johnstone - Conceded a very soft goal inside the first 5mins of the first half. Let in another inside the first 10mins of the 2nd half. Home to Motherwell - Conceded another quite soft goal inside the first 5mins of first half. Cannot stress how utterly dire he is and what a truly honking signing he's been.

Ford Prentice Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Would be surprised if we sign a keeper. Harry Stone will play for the B team and will be ready to step up if CG gets injured. I think he's rated highly enough for this not to be seen as a high risk strategy. If CG was out long term it's always possible to get another keeper in.
