Will happily eat my words if he turns out to be a revelation Yip probably the one area of the pitch we have plenty of cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Said before that before the window closed I would think we should be nowhere near him. But we didn’t get what we needed in, so we still need numbers so I’ll take him. I also said to those who were talking about free transfers from all over Europe we’d most likely get someone in who has family/connections within a 70 mile radius of Tynecastle. And so it proves. Hey, Halliday can have him on the podcast too, so there’s that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 1 minute ago, Mac80 said: Why are people not happy with this? Because he’ll turn 35 tomorrow and we would need him to play like he did 10 years ago as a no.10 behind the striker and his legs may not let him do that anymore and he’ll need to drop deeper? For what it’s worth, with the squad as it is I’ll take him and I actually think he’ll contribute. Not the worst signing in the world. But not whelming.

Batistuta87 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Walter Bishop said: Snodgrass signing. Could be a decent short term replacement for Boyce. Great short term signing. Very happy with this. He'll probably sit more central now that he's older and I can't see him bombing up and down the wing any more, but a very very classy player with a tremendous work rate. His left peg is an absolute wand and he's some laugh so will be great to have around. Mentioned him right at the beginning of the window but never thought we'd be able to pull it off if I'm honest because he could probably still play in the English Championship or top end of L1.

I don't agree, just because he's 34 doesn't mean he doesn't have something to offer. We will badly miss Boyce, not just because of his footballing ability but because of his experience and talking the youngsters through games. I don't think we should be comparing this to Whelan, who couldn't even be bothered training here full time. Snodgrass doesn't strike me as anything other than professional. We might finally get a decent corner delivery as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rabbit Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 16 minutes ago, jamboinglasgow said: English football have a stricter work permit rule then Scottish football. In England it is really by the points system and the appeal system is really tough to get past. In Scotland most go to the panel (something Scotland agreed with the home office) and so it is a lot more open for players to come in. From what I have read, I do think Kio has had his work permit accepted, the problem is the same as it was for Rowles and Devlin, the actually physical work permit being handed over takes forever due to the bureaucracy. Thanks, didn’t know that. Fingers crossed it gets over the line sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Luton fans were really keen for him to stay which I think is telling, he obviously done enough to impress them. He comes in and offers us experience and another option in an area we are short. As long as it's not a daft contract length I think it's a sensible signing.

Hannibal Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 i reckon he will do well.

I didn’t imply we would have him 10 years ago. I implied we need a no.10 who will be able to keep up the sort of pace, pressing and acceleration that he would have had at that time. And that it’s understandable that people have doubts over a 35-year-old’s ability to do that. But I also said I’d take him, not sure why that bit was ignored.
