cocobeab Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Just now, flem said: It was some strike for the offside goal. granted but I was pretty underwhelmed otherwise. Some poor, poor touches in the first half. I’d heard good things and may well be wrong but didn’t see anything outside that one strike to suggest he’s worth buying in January.

Canscot Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Read/heard somewhere he has some issues off the park (gambling addiction?). Not sure if he would be considered if that is true. Mind you. We did sign Lafferty with all his baggage. But that was a different time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I get what you are saying all right. I too have quite liked what I have seen of him since he signed for ‘Well but I also think the ethos of the club may have moved on a bit and might not consider players who have off field issues. Gambling is a big one and if not under control could cause the team real issues with authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Said in the summer he’s someone we should look at. Something different off the bench when we need to change things. He wouldn’t get in my team ahead of Shankland and Humphries. More of a threat than Henderson off the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Every time we play a team that has a player that has a half decent game this question gets asked.

Kirky Jambo Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Van Veen is an excellent player at this level imo, who has impressed against us a few times. Good technique and turn of pace, and quite a clever player a bit like Boyce. Only thing is he will be 32 next season and would command a fee as he is contracted to 2024.

hearts00 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 He’s a dangerous player but not for me. Not a target man and slow. We need a Nouble type player to compliment what we have in Shankland and Humphry’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 If we can get another season out of Snodgrass and maybe get Humphries that would be a good bit of biz.

fabienleclerq Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I think he's a decent player at our level and if available cheap we'll worth signing. I've heard a few players talk about not liking playing against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve said it yourself about the guy there mate, he’s not Lionel Messi but he’s got a very useful skill set & it would’ve helped us massively yesterday if he’d been fit & able to play to bring him off the bench as he’s excellent at holding the ball up, closing down opposition defenders & taking the ball for a run at his feet.

Ex member of the SaS Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 No way is he good enough for us.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I actually thought Louis Moult looked more dangerous when he came on. Not saying we sign him though.

RustyRightPeg Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 If anyone out of that Well team, I’d be more inclined to look at Goss. Lovely left foot, just sat in front of their back 4, clipped a few nice diagonals, forced the save from Gordon at the end. Tidy player in possession, perhaps out of it that is his shortfall.

Granted against ten men he had more space, but out of possession he looked lost. Something about a left footed player playing midfield that looks better, Snodgrass another example.

DxB Hearts Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Absolutely not. Seems like a half decent player but he's 31 and not an improvement on what we have.

JamboAndrew Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 From what I've seen, he's an older striker with talent, but drifts in and put of games. Highly likely one that will look back on his career and wish be had tried harder. File under Tony Watt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteg75 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The guy is a John Sutton type. Not anywhere near good enough for Hearts. I'll include Moult in that category too. Humphrys better than both. Probably why we signed him on loan. Rather than bidding for crap Motherwell strikers.. we need better and already have better wouldn't folk agree??
