Ricardo Quaresma Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 2 minutes ago, Taffin said: He played half a game against Ross County before his injury, and you're claiming that as evidence he was really starting to pick up? He was honking against Zurich, people are at most dialing it back 50 minutes. It's awful for the guy, anyone taking pleasure from him being out is a moron...but his injury doesn't change that he'd been really poor for a long time. Anyone saying otherwise is conveniently dialling it back over 6 months imo. Still, it's over, sticking the boot in now is crass, we'll never know if he was on the way back He was getting better, there's no doubt; as I stated, it's moot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DxB Hearts Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Ramirez is surely just a direct replacement for Boyce, who we didn't know would be crocked until Sunday. Can't say I've watched him too much but 15 goals for an absolutely woeful Aberdeen side last year seems pretty good to me. You got to assume we've made inquiries about Johnson for quite some time, not just today. Get ready for plenty of other names to be thrown in today.

GinRummy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Just now, Cut The Crap said: So it turns out there is no carefully-crafted recruitment masterplan and we're scrambling around on deadline day looking to bring in cast offs from our main rivals? TBF, We've obviously missed out on some of our main targets but the 7 players we've brought in were almost definitely planned. Our first 11 is easily good enough but past maybe 13-14 players the rest wouldn't be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveins Battalion Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, Ainsley Harriott said: Scored 15 last season. I think you might need to review your expectation level. My expectations? The club have repeatedly spoken about creating assets and signing players we can improve and sell on to grow the club,we have witnessed Hibs and Aberdeen sell players for millions the last few seasons. We have had months and months to scout and move for any number of targets in that 20-26 age bracket yet we are enquiring about signing a 31 year old deemed surplus at a rival,if that the best our Recruitment team of a HoR,Data Analysis,Sporting Director and Manager can come up with then what's the point?

As long as we don't bring him to Edinburgh until after the bins are cleaned up from the side walks, then he'll fall in love with Edinburgh Gimme Ramirez over Moult any day of the week though, he scored 15 goals for an utterly rank sheep side last season, he'd do well here with better service than he ever got up there.

gregzy2k7 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not sure about Loaning players from Aberdeen or Celtic tbh, I find that a bit tinpot and a club like Hearts should not be doing deals like that imo, if we want them then it's got to be a permanent or nothing, i would rather look elsewhere. Surely there has to be some decent free agents on the market, would rather wait and see what comes up than end up loaning players from the tic or eberdeen.

How many assists has he got this calendar year? I don't think he'll be a huge miss, I reckon whoever plays that role will outscore and out-assist him. Doesn't make it any less of a shame for the guy and I'd much rather he was fit and in the squad than not...but I'd have been looking for us to sign competition for him even before the injury. I'm certainly not using it as an opportunity to have a pop at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he's pissed off half of Abderdeen and they aren't playing him I'd imagine they would want rid. Signing a guy short term who scored 15 goals for a team finishing in the bottom half of the table is not a bad signing for us. Agree we also need another body up top, but that has always been the case - Ramirez is being looked at because Boyce is done for the season.

LogicalEric Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not really sure if Ramirez is the type of player we should be looking for.
