HMFC01 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Never thought I'd say it but I'm not impressed with us after Moult. We're clearly done to bare bones on our search for a striker. Decent backup I suppose. I hope we get at least a decent forward to replace Boyce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batistuta87 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Struggling to see where Moult fits into the "as good as or better than we already have" thing. I mean is he really that much better than Henderson that we'd stump up a transfer fee and what will probably be a half decent wage?? Surely there's got to be better out there?? 8 minutes ago, RustyRightPeg said: Why are Hibs mentioned in every single article we are when it comes to players? Moult would be a shrewd signing. Not a wow factor but he’ll score 10-15 in our team once he gets going. You think so?? Has done absolutely nowt at Burton Albion, even before his injury (and has barely kicked a ball in 2 and a half seasons). An easy comparison is Boyce who was has very mixed reviews amongst our support, but had at least scored a few for them before coming here. Sorry. Don't see any value what so ever in signing someone like Moult. Edited August 31, 2022 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayTeeJnr Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Moult, out of favour at bottom of the table League One side Burton. He really isn't the standard of signing I'd expected us to be going for now 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Moult way back weeks/months ago on this thread without so much as a bite. He had a habit of scoring goals against the Old Firm, had a fantastic scoring record at Motherwell. A serious injury wrecked his time at Preston. Then more health issues. Done nothing of note since but if he's getting back to full fitness, I for one won't be disappointed at this signing. I trust those that matter are happy with his fitness, so it's a thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I made a joke above. Most clubs want “better than they have” but people need to stop believing Hearts can strictly live by that process. It was becoming a bit pretentious. Sometimes you need to lower expectations(not too much!) and take players who can be useful, esp this close to the window closing. Maybe lessons learned though? To have one natural striker available at this point isn’t really good enough. We got away with it from January to May with just Boyce and Simms.

DC_92 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I think if you're looking at signing 4 players in a couple of days, one of which is to replace an unexpected long-term absentee, they're not all likely to be quality. That's pretty much inevitable unfortunately. Louis Moult would be desperate stuff, though. Can't get a game at Burton and has done his knee at least twice since leaving Motherwell.

I’ve no complaints over some of the signings we’ve made, they’ve been very good, it’s just the thought process towards squad building? Its irked me since January that we only ever seem to have 2 , what we’d deem, natural strikers. Now one, with Boyce injured. Ginnelly is a stop gap and does a good job but I don’t have him in the CF bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rabbit Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hope this is just agent talk trying to drum up interest in his players. Moult is nowhere near the standard we should be looking at.

BackOfTheNet Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Moult? Really? Remember when we thought he might be signing before because he followed Hearts on Instagram or something?

Don't agree with this. He was a good player that consistently averaged a goal every other game for them for 2.5 years. 15 league goals in his first season, 15 in his second and 8 in his last half-season. My issue is that he's been constantly injured from then until about 6 months ago and isn't getting a game at Burton. Looks like injuries have finished him.
