Sertse Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 55 minutes ago, Robbo Is God said: Ok, bored at work, so looked up some interesting looking free agents who I think “may” be within our reach. Fredrik Gulbrandsen: 29 year old Norwegian CF. Last club Istanbul Basaksehir. Could knock his old club out of Europe with us. Roughly 1 in 2.3 games goal return. Michael Hector: 30 year old Jamaican CB from Fulham. Matej Vydra: 30 year old Czech CF of Burnley. May be on too high wages but a good goal ratio of roughly 1 in 2.3 games. Pelle van Amersfoort: 26 year old Dutch AM from Cracovia. Good goal ratio of roughly 1 in 3 games. 6 foot 4 tall. Nicolai Jorgensen: 31 year old Danish CF from FC Copenhagen. Good goal ratio of roughly 1 in 2.3 games. Ryan Bennett: 32 year old English CB from Swansea. Havard Nordtveit: 32 year old Norwegian CB from Hoffenheim. Adem Ljajic: 30 year old Serbian AM from Besiktas. Decent goal ratio of roughly 1 in 3.3 games. Ante Majstorovic: 28 year old Croatian CB from CH Port. Joris Gnanon: 25 year old French CB from Saint-Etienne. Thoughts? Just asked my Burnley mad mate, Vydra left Burnley when they were relegated, they offered him a new contract and he said it was an 'offer he couldn't accept' meaning he was after EPL wages. Very very highly doubt we'll see him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCant Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 1 minute ago, We_are_the_Hearts said: Yip that’s all that’s happened here. No point qualifying for Europe then saying the players are exhausted, busy schedule etc. Pathetic I’ve thought for ages that we have an institutional fitness and stamina issue. Not many teams run out of gas like we seem to. Kilmarnock the other night looked stronger and fitter for longer than we did. Ross County another team we ran out of steam against, not to mention the cup final where we were dead on our feet after an hour. Europe this season might be looked upon as a learning curve with the league the priority but going forward I don’t see the point of breaking your balls to qualify then moaning it’s a bit hard to cope with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 8 minutes ago, JimmyCant said: I’d say it’s a higher priority for the fans than it is for the club. Moaning about 2 games a week for 2 months says to me we’ll be happy enough to take the money and get it out of the way. Does look that way. Otherwise there would've been more intent to bolster the squad before Zurich. That was a very winnable tie. We fell short as we did on Wednesday.

Jambo On Fire Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 21 minutes ago, Gorgierools said: I sat next to Billy Brown last week. I asked him about these Thursday/ Sunday games. His reaction " over reaction by the club. Players should be able to cope" I was thinking similar recently. You don't often hear clubs moaning about the number of games they need to play and size of the squad when they have decent cup runs. Sure, we've got an additional 8 games in Europe but we've also just saved ourselves 3 or more games by getting knocked out the league cup. If we don't have a great run in the Scottish then we could end up playing roughly the same number of games as last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather he said we’ve got a very good squad here who can all play if picked and we’ll do fine. Bare Bones ? Nah that’s not very motivational for anyone hearing it who maybe wants a chance to break into the team Ah c'mon you're being disingenuous, he's not calling the players bare bones. Not a single player will argue with that description because they'll see the queue for the physio every morning. How else would you describe our injury list? How do you know Robbie hasn't chapped Savage's door and done that? He can do that and talk about it in the press, because when he talks to the press, he's really talking to us, and plenty of us are wondering what's happened. He's clearly saying it's not down to him not wanting or needing players. Any professional football player at Hearts who isn't a regular starter and doesn't see this as an absolutely fantastic opportunity to stake their claim as a regular starter, quite frankly doesn't have the mentality to be at our club. Even less so if they're feeling sad about the squad being described as down to the bare bones. I'm not sure players are as fragile mentally as you think they are.

I agree though. I'm not sure how the club actually feel about European competition. AB has explicitly stated that she wants the club to become a regular and established presence in European competition - partly because Europe is fun, and partly because regular European participation will fund our challenges for domestic success. Also, winning the SC wins you the SC and gives entry to the European Conference League as a minimum, winning the LC wins you the LC - I would be confident that we'll be trying our best to win the Scottish.

Shankland’s record in Belgium was poor and his record in the Scottish Premiership with Utd was piss poor and, as yet, he’s done nothing to justify getting a few Scotland caps (just shows how weak we’ve been up front). He’s still very much unproven at our Premiership level although I do think he will score a reasonable amount of goals for us providing he gets better service than Wednesday night. But trying to make out he has a great record everywhere he has played is stretching it a bit.
