Batistuta87 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Delighted at getting Dhanda. Been wanting him since he was still at Swansea. Would be great to get him in now but it depends on the money. Would quite happily swap them a player and some cash or something like that, but also happy to wait until the summer. I just wanted him signed one way or another. Folk are quick to call bullshit but hardly ever give credit when someone's info is right so a big 👍🏻 to @Leveins Battalion here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just now, BackOfTheNet said: But my post was on topic and valid point to make about prioritising ageing players over players that are still to develop, no? Nah, we need a mix and atm that mix is OK. Halliday is gone and Big Pete is away soon, Smith left last season. it's good to have experienced players, especially good ones. Young guys are coming through and a few new players are still settling. Boycey will likley go at the end of next season, gradual step change to aid continuity and continous improvement. Almost like Naismith knows what he's doing. You can have young and old players, doesn't mean a certain group of players are getting prioritised. It's not an either/ or situation. Boyce extending doesn't mean youth is being overlooked or not given a chance. He's actually more likley to benefit our young players, think Tait even mentioned him.

I'd almost be happier if we were planning ahead, don't really need them yet, and bring them in for free in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaHmfc Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Absolutely delighted with Dhanda. Spoke so highly about him forever but never seemed like a player we would go for so I’m fair pleased it’s actually happened. Penrice would be great too although it would probably mean losing Alex but as someone has already said he’s done so well for us and we’ve also been great for him too. Would move on with nothing but best wishes I’m sure. Exciting times for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger Rudi Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 47 minutes ago, Gmcjambo said: Pleased with the Dhanda signing - must only be being communicated now to put pressure on County to do a deal before the window closes IMO. Fraser probably not going anywhere until new manager can suss out the squad and decide for himself. Fraser still has a year left on his contract in the summer. I can only see that being a loan move in January, don't think we'll spend a lot of money on him. Dhanda deal might be "instead of". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 29 minutes ago, Bazzas right boot said: Yeah, Gino was a slow burner as well. As long as we have good players at this current time we can persevere and manage 2/3 project types. I'm not sure what the correct word is but we need to get away from this "project player" bill. We will have a strong core of a team. We will have guys who are growing into their roles. And those lads will do it at different rates. And some of them won't cut the mustard. We're comfy in third with Newy, Oda and Vargas all learning on the job, probably all (except maybe Oda) having played more than we'd have hoped due to injuries. Denholm and Tait also being blooded. But we've maintained a level. Next season, all these lads will be a year further into their development. A bit steadier. More reliable. More will be expected, they're fully Hearts players then. We will probably have other new lads needing a bit of time. We'll hopefully also sign a couple of guys who, like Kent, just slot right in. Scott Fraser, Yan Dhanda perhaps, both of whom you'd think need less time. The boys getting up to speed aren't projects. It's just the world of recruitment. It's about continuity planning as much as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
