Chuck Berry Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 28 minutes ago, gov said: Bandersons latest tweet - Hearts haven't made a move for Van Veen. No more signings expected today unless someone leaves Tynecastle before the deadline. No offers for Shankland and contract still unsigned. Not too unhappy with that. Fraser is a good loan move as is Dexter, and if we have Dhanda tied up on a pre-contract (and maybe Penrice) then that's bood business. As long as Shanks doesn't leave. KVV for 4 months as Shanks cover would be good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonbe110 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 28 minutes ago, Pete Elliott said: He’s only started in 3 out of the 8 games of our unbeaten run so has been a periphery figure compared to the likes of Clark, Kent, Kingsley, Beni, Forrest and Shankland who have played almost every minute. Grant’s the sort of player who looks decent when the team is performing well but doesn’t stand up when backs are to the wall imo. I think he’s shown a few good performances amongst an ocean of dross and I’d quite happily see his shirt go to Tait, Fraser or Dhanda so we’ll just need to agree to disagree. 👍🏻 Our backs were to the wall for 100 minutes at Parkhead recently and he was the best player on the park imo.

Obviously we all want more signings, but, actually, sometimes too many new faces at once can upset the dynamics in the dressing room. The players already here have done pretty well for us so far and improvements should be a gradual process imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wavydavy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, Newton51 said: Penrice linked with Rangers too I just read that they are going to keep Yilmaz and also offer Barasic a new deal to stay. This is because they can't get the young Brazilian on loan from Apoel as they wont pay the fee they want. So if this is true then they must be out of cash and going for the cheap options. Good news on the Shankland front then as we are saying he wont move for anything below £5million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 18 hours ago, boag1874 said: This in spades. The season is more than half way done, he's cup tied, he's on a pre contract anyway - Say we pay £150k for him (I still think that's less than county would want for by a mile their best player when they're fighting to stay up) that can be broken down to 10k a game between now & the season's end before even taking into account wages, appearance money, bonuses etc - and that's if he plays every game! Now, similar situation in that we only get <4 months benefit out of this hypothetical scenario where we pay the transfer fee, would we pay that for say, a loan player from now til the end of the season? Or a player on a 4 month contract? Even better, we take him now for free or a nominal fee & insert a sell on clause (15% say)- he does really well & we sell him for £2m - we've just paid out 300k for a player we could have got for sweet FA if we'd waited, it's bad business. Dhanda at this moment in time is worth more to RC than he is to Hearts, same with how Souttar was worth more to Hearts than he was to Rangers when we had the shoe on the other foot, we'll wrap up 3rd without him, we have a solid defence and a good lead over the others, that money could be better spent on something else than taking a guy who's already coming for nothing in Summer. If we **** 3rd place up we've more problems than not having an extra attacking midfielder for the run in. I agree with this! I think things have changed over the course of the window being open. At the start of January we were in a tight race for 3rd and struggling to get goals from anyone other than Shankland. Now, we've opened up a significant gap over the clubs below us, and started to see goals coming from various players. 3rd isn't nailed on by any means yet, but we're looking much more likely for it now, and with Fraser signed, we've already got some reinforcement for the midfield (I know he's not quite the same sort of player as Dhanda), and as you say, if we lose 3rd from here it would probably be down to other things than not having Dhanda. Add in the fact he's now cup-tied and there's far less reason for us to pay out money to bring him in now than there was a month ago!

Anyone else be quite happy if we threw our hat in the ring there? No depth at striker other than Shankland. Would be a good move IMO. Appreciate we're not desperate, but I'd be keen for him. I'd like to see us bring him in on loan till the end of the season with an option to buy (at a reasonable price) if he does well. But I'm not desperate to see him here. A late big offer for Shankland might make me desperate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an important factor, we are strong favourites for third in the league now so we don't need him. The only business I think might happen now is Alex Cochrane leaving if we get a good offer, and Penrice in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentally that is what attacking midfielders are all about in general - Fraser I think you'll find is much the same, but perhaps with more of an attitude. If they spend all their time grafting backwards they're not available when you need it. Grant's efforts pressing have been excellent recently, especially against Celtic. At the moment we only have Grant who can play that position other than Shankland (who we don't really want there) so it will be good to have cover and I expect we'll see both Grant / Fraser in the same team if we're chasing / at home against a lower 6 at times.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Happy with the window, think we are stronger than the beginning of January. But there is always something in the back of your mind that wants Hearts to do something interesting on deadline day because its exciting and tries to dismiss all the journalists and evidence showing nothing is happening.

Chimp Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Amazed it looks like we haven't managed to shift Haring. Really thought Levein would have taken him at St Johnstone til the end of the season on loan at least. Shame he's just going to hang around here wasting a decent wage best used elsewhere. Our academy players should be ahead of him in the pecking order anyway so seems silly to keep him here unless there really are no suitors.
