If - and it's a big if - they reach the CL group stages, then yes, I think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 even if they did reach the group stage what Hearts players want to play for Kaunas? I'm not sure it'll matter if they want to or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I did wonder about this Maybe even the guys on loan getting the loans called in before deadlines If Kaunas get through to Champs league groups surely Vlads shop window for Miko, Zaliukas and Ketusis is better in that setting? Surely these guys would jump at the chance of playing in the Champs league group stages? Lets have a bit of fun. What if Kaunas got through to the Champs League and asked for Hearts players to volunteer to go there simply for that campaign - yes they would have to play in the Lith league What if Kaunas essentially became full of Hearts players until Jan? If you were Berra/Driver etc would you agree to a 6 month move to get to play against the cream of Europe. Call it a 6 month secondment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA MAROON Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 even if they did reach the group stage, what Hearts players would want to play for Kaunas? If Hearts and Kaunas players teamed up 50/50, would you support Team Ukio in the Champions League? I think we all would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm not sure it'll matter if they want to or not. of course it matters. Could, and would, Romanov make a Hearts player go on loan to Kaunas against that players wishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 of course it matters. Could, and would, Romanov make a Hearts player go on loan to Kaunas against that players wishes? If the alternative was them being dropped from the Hearts side indefinitely, then a good number might happily go. And do you honestly think players wouldn't relish the chance of playing in the CL group stages? If it happens, I can already see comments on here about how it'll be "great experience for them", it's "Vlad's money that saved us, so who are we to argue?", and that "it'll benefit us in the long run"...

Pants Shaton Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The likelihood is that they will drop out before the CL proper, just like we did. Remember? When Romanov failed to replace Skacel & Webster with "better players" and, without a competent manager, we were lambs to the slaughter against AEK. A probable one-off opportunity to qualify for the group stages - gloriously f****d up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Vlad saved us and the players would come back to us and they would be a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 With Kaunas progressing in the Champions League, do you think VR will pull players from Hearts on loan to Kaunas:mw_confused:? Nope, other than possibly Lithuanians presently on loan here, and I would not complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Gosling Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 A few reserves were offered the chance to go to Kaunas on loan last summer and turned it down, so I can't see the first team agreeing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens, I can already see comments on here about how it'll be "great experience for them", it's "Vlad's money that saved us, so who are we to argue?", and that "it'll benefit us in the long run"... I just can't see it happening. Yes people are right that it would be possible for Romanov to threaten them with not playing at all etc but I honestly think even Romanov wouldn't go this far. FWIW IF it was to happen, which I have very strong doubts about, you wouldn't see any of those comments from me. as PbJ says, it's not out of the question that Kaunas loanees would be happy to return and I generally wouldn't have a problem with that.

Kenbo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I imagine that some loan deals may come to an abrupt end, but cant see any of our permanent assets being used over there - as was pointed out earlier it would be an ideal shop window for Miko and Co...........well as long as they got their respective fingers oot!

But if 6 games in the Champions League was the carrot, with little change in wages then I could definetly see some of the non UK born players fancying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
