TheBigO Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 30 minutes ago, soonbe110 said: Don’t think he is lazy, just not nearly good enough for where we are now. Didn’t really shine in the championship, albeit injuries hampered him, was a bit part player last season and given where we are going this season we will be signing better players than Gino. I’d be surprised if he is still with us when the window shuts. Maybe. One compliment I could give him is if he does go, I hope it's back down south. Wouldn't want to play against him.

Bauld Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Geoff Kilpatrick said: Maybe, but players "rebuilding their career" always sounds foreboding. Remember Larsson broke his leg? I think it worked out OK for him when he came back. Players can get bad injuries. Being out for a year isn't uncommon. Aidy was different. He hadn't kicked a ball for well over 2 years and we effectively hauled him out of retirement. Unfortunately he just couldn't get back to the level he once was.

Bungalow Bill Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sorry if I’m not overly excited at the prospect of signing a player who has had a serious injury from a team relegated from League 1 in England. He’ll of course have my full support if signed. SPFL Premiership will be a massive step-up, never mind the UEFA comps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 5 hours ago, TheBigO said: Are we now saying Gino is lazy? I'm not sure that's fair to be honest. He's sometimes not the most intelligent as far as decision making, but I've never seen a lack of effort from the lad. Couple of games last season he played up top and worked his arse off in particular, one away at Celtic where it was thankless and he kept plugging away especially. I quite like Gino. Not irreplaceable at all, and if he were go, like most, wish him well and not think much more of it, but certainly happy enough if he stays. I've liked his updates on the friendly but let's not get carried away about a personal opinion from someone watching the first bounce game of the season, in 38c heat, from over a fence (nae offence Typoon - just not wanting people to run too far with your comment!) I wasn’t basing my opinion on the amateur match report and nor would I put too much emphasis on a bounce match at a training camp, more based on his performances last season. I agree on his day and we’ve seen it he can change a game but that is certainly not the norm for him. Whereas Forrest arrived from a team where what Gino lacked last season is a basic requirement. This seems to be the story of Ginos career, I think he needs a sustained run of games, but he’s not likely to get that at hearts unless he’s outstanding every week, it’s a bit of a catch 22 really. In answer to your question is he lazy, I don’t think lazy is the problem it’s confidence. When it’s not going his way he disappears, and lacks the toughness to come back.

FarmerTweedy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 13 hours ago, Jambo in Bathgate said: If we get Shankland and Simms it will give us options that we haven’t had for a long time. I also think that Henderson may be a surprise too. We are due to have a Hearts developed striker who makes an impact by scoring goals. I can't say I'm very confident that Henderson will be able to make it with us, but I hope he's kept in and around the club this season rather than sent out on loan again, and given at least a bit of a chance in terms of some decent sub appearances and maybe a start or two, to show what he can do.

I hope so too. With Boyce doing a better job as a 10 (imo) even if we sign two strikers we are still potentially short.

For year's So say he played for say Nottingham forest and slow he would probably get away with his natural ability. Doncaster I just don't think so not for Hearts but it's a trial so no issues!
