Tells you everything you need to know about the overall quality of our league. Doesn't matter anyway because all that matters to most players is cash. We might think we are a big draw but if the shitey English team offers more money then that's what the majority will want. Not going to change finances , or any other perception (facts) re English football but Ross county average attendance 3800 , population dingwall 5500 Huddersfield average attendance 15500 , population 160000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Dobbin might be the other youve seen. 6 minutes ago, CMc said: Dobbins and Broadhead both strikers around same age that might get loaned out again. Dobbin was the guy I was thinking about.

Really good season at Sunderland last year and he’s in that age bracket where he’s not gonna break into Everton first team so could be a cheap moveable asset for them .

WoodenHertz Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 11 hours ago, Mick from Oz said: With all the problems Hearts seem to be having finding a striker, how about having a look at Nick D'Agostino. If you look at his overall goals to games ratio it's not impressive, but he's a player who's improved a lot over the last year or two, probably as a result of Tony Popovic's influence, his manager at Perth & Melbourne. Has recently broken into the Aussie squad as Rowles has. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iydnc2JQWAU Watched him a few weeks back on WyScout, impressed by him and would be a good addition provided we were actually looking at him. From what I remember he's slightly outperforming his xG which is a good sign too. You'd assume with our recent business in Australia we're at least aware of him.

innerjambo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So we need new strikers in the door, and should now concentrate our efforts away from Shankland and Simms. If either of them happen, it should be bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 47 minutes ago, RustyRightPeg said: Also you missed the bulk of the point, I wasn’t necessarily meaning quality. I was meaning stadium, pitch, facilities, fans, average attendances etc etc. All significantly better than the likes of Ross County, Killie, Motherwell, Dundee Utd. More to do with population base imo. Dingwall is a small town, little more than a village in fact. Most of the others are either towns with around 50k residents or small cities who have to share fan base with a rival. Trouble is Scotland is a small country and the fan base is skewed in favour of two clubs for reasons that have nothing to do with football.

So they would be mad just to be after him and Shankland. If I was putting on my conspiracy theory hat, it wouldn't surprise me if we are using Simms as a bit of a smokescreen, there has been informal chat with Everton but we are letting the press' focus being on Simms, keeping our main likely targets secret so we are more likely to get them.

JimmyCant Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, RustyRightPeg said: Haha. Biting back with the scout because you got clamped before, nice one. If you’re asking me if I’ve ever watched Rogic the answer is obviously, don’t try use that against me. The reason I’m being averse to it is people are saying we should or shouldn’t break our wage structure for a 20 year old striker who we could sell on for 2/3/4 times our outlay. What’s the end game in us breaking it on a 29 year old who let’s be honest will have no interest in joining us, who will demand mega money, with little to no sell “profitable” sell on value in 2 years? Mate. You were the one who ‘clamped’ when someone started to probe if your full of shite or not. Anyway, that aside. Experienced high quality goal scoring midfielder already settled in Scotland who we can offer the top end of our so called wage structure to. Who knows what that now is right enough. He’ll also be desperate for game time before the WC. There’s no harm in making one phone call to ask the question ?

I would love Rogic but can't see it happening, think he will have offers that give him a much bigger wage than we can offer. Always worth enquiring about though, and maybe we have and been knocked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
