Thought Police Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I wouldn't be as against that as I would have been 18 months ago. Definitely think he has improved.

Young centre back who could maybe do a job? Thoughts......... Whether he has fallen down the pecking order or not they will be wanting a few million to recuperate the money they spent last summer. Whilst he’s undoubtedly got better we will not be spending that money on any player but if we could I wouldn’t be spending it on him.

Cruyff Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 We'll sign someone quality to replace Souttar. Jack Hendry is decent and despite being out of favour, would still be out of our range financially as his club will be looking to recoup some of the fee spent on him.

We can have projects run along side our main signings but if we replace our best with worse we go backwards. Soapy was a project when we signed him, a project that never bore any fruit for us. Injured for 60-70% of his time here and ****s off on a free after one of 3 ten game purple patches he’s had in 6 years. Toby is only 21-22, I’ve seen enough to warrant a bit of patience with him. He has adequately replaced Souttar already this season, yes a few wobbles and one car crash game at ibrox. But Souttars not played in 2 months and I don’t find myself particularly miss him. Actually feel he was a bit overrated based on his undoubted class in possession. Some of his defensive aspects are still lacking even today because he is not seasoned and dominant, he just has had too many interruptions in his career. So you say “our best players” but I don’t actually think he is one of our best players. Because he only averages 2 games out every 5 that’s been played since he joined us. How can you be one of your clubs best players when your body leaves you hardly able to string more than 10 games together. That flaw vastly outweighs any ability or talent. We have been wanting to get younger players in our 11, this is what it takes, you’ve got to be patient with the inexperience aspects particularly with defenders. I am quite interested to see how Sibbick gets on at RCB next season, I actually think he could be a really dominant force once he’s found his rhythm and got a bit more streetwise and added more aggression. I think it’s more likely we see the bigger bucks spent on a LCB or LWB, an Igor Rossi maybe. The reality is there’s always projects at Hearts. Particularly if it’s a 21-22 year old player.

Rick Sanchez Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Composure goes a long way in Scottish football. Souttar and especially Kingsley are top notch. Kingsley doesn't shite himself when being closed down, he's happy to side step them and stride forward. Halkett less so but great at defending and is 95% solid. Moore still gives me a bit of the fear tbh. I'd want Souttar’s wage spent on better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore hasn’t really impressed so far IMO, but he has these next few games against high level opposition to show Robbie and Savage something. In answer to the OP, I don’t think you replace Souttar. Certainly not like for like. Maybe an older head might be smarter with Sibbick as a sort of understudy filling in for him and Halkett?

tiger Rudi Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Initially Moore done well. I remember the away game at Motherwell when we lost 2 nil he was awful and has been in & out the starting 11 ever since. A bit unfair tbh, both Souttar & Smith had shockers that game too. It coincided with losing Halkett. I wouldn't mind keeping a hold of Moore. He's a battler, never shirks a challenge and not afraid to stride forward with the ball. He's decent in the air and would like to see him beside Halkett for a few pre-season games. If Haring leaves as I think he will, Sibbick "might" be a solution in midfield & can also provide cover for Halkett in the middle at the back. Sibbick has looked a bit better in the centre and needs time to settle in. I would keep both, with a view to a big money signing if they don't work out.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 We've been unlucky with injuries. Before we sign anyone else and assuming Moore returns to Bristol, next season we'll have 5 centre halves - Smith, Halkett, Kingsley, Sibbick, Haring. While I think we will need another to cope with injury and European football, I hope we really go for an outstanding player; a real upgrade. Maybe a development project too but I think that might be Sibbick. That's what building on this season, and the money we have brought ourselves, will feel like.

number-16 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Smith and Sibbick will play there I expect. Sibbick will be the long-term replacement at RCB but Smith will probably be used a fair bit for his experience over the next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
