The Bottom Line

[ArthurScargill]

This thread has GOT to be a wind-up.

 

Either that or there is a level of hysteria within the Hearts fanbase that is ludicrous in the extreme.

 

Why?

 

As I have stated I may have been over emotional...I don;t think I have been aggressive or confrontational to any of my fellow posters on here...I have agreed with what a few of them have pointed out in fact. I have simply stated what I believe...if you don't agree with that then fair enough, although I don't think there is any need for any cheap shots...in my opinion.

[ArthurScargill]

Not defending Vlad here at all...

 

I'm simply trying to bring the fact that you seem to have some sort of discontent for the current regime that you'll do anything to discredit it. There are certain "irks" I find with it, but at the moment, I'm quite happy.

 

I'm not saying that you should be a scout for Hearts either. You come across as hell bent on seeing a "known striker" signing for Hearts. We haven't seen Tullberg before, and as you have already said, you're in the same boat as most of us because you haven't seen him play.

 

If you want a "known striker" to sign for us, you must have a rough idea of what player we need? No?

 

Where did I say I wanted a 'known striker' to sign for us??????????

 

And when have I given the impression that I will do ANYTHING to discredit the current regime????????

 

Some people on here really need to have a word with themselves...being critical of one aspect of HMFC does not mean you are against the whole club and regime ffs.

[TimeBandit]

When has he said he doesn't like youth? He has said he won't throw the youngsters in but we still have one of the youngest squads in the league

 

I'll try and find it but I'm sure I read in an interview recently that he says he doesn't favour youth and prefers to go for older players..

 

May even be on official site..

 

Spelling mistakes are due to my liquified fingeration of the keyboard...

 

Liquid in question is lager of a rather jakey type... I make no apologies its saturday for me on my shifts!

 

Feck off and work you barstewrds.

No, you haven't 'simply stated what you believe'.

 

You've berated Hearts fans for not believing what YOU believe.

 

The real 'bottom line' is that Hearts saw the availability of a goalscorer at a relatively affordable price, which is as about as common as hen's teeth.

Ultimately speaking, this did not come off as the player made it clear he doesn't want to play for Hearts.

Fair enough if you think you've seen that, anyways have a lager for me i've had enough for one night time to go to bed

[Gabriel]

Actually, I'm not feeling "let down" at all. For once, we seem to be pursuing a reasonably settled starting line-up and formation that the players seem to be enjoying. More importantly, we're getting results with it. That to me is the most important thing about the club at the moment and long may it continue.

 

I agree with this in principle, though looking at the Ins and Outs on BBC I'm actually more saddened in that we haven't been able to offload more of the driftwood. In the clamour for new signings the lack of people leaving has been largely forgotten. Hearts,in my opinion, needs to have a nucleus of 6-7 players featuring in 30+ league games a season to do well, as our better sides have had this. Consistency of selection from a smaller pool is paramount, but we still have too many peripheral players at the club who will probably never command regular starting positions.

I agree there's alot of chaff that needs shipped out but there has been consistency in the line up so far this season (apart from GK) hopefully it continues

Oh dear...so if we wanted to sign him, we must have had the money to do so yes? It was pretty obvious to most of us with a teeny tiny bit of intellectual capacity that Riordan wouldn't sign for us....so first of all why couldn;t anyone working for the club see this???

 

Secondly...if we did have the money to sign him, then why did we not have a back-up plan??? Why have we not went for ANYONE else for the same amount of money??? Are you honestly telling me we could not have found another player in the world of football to sign for the club for that amount of money, and on similar wages????

 

Open your eyes FFS and stop making up excuses...if Vlad does something wrong then effin admit it...I am not one of the Vlad out group, or Vlad is useless group...but in my opinion he is wrong for not getting a striker in, if you cannot handle MY opinion with regards to this then fair doo's.

[Francis Albert]

 

WHY DO SOME OF YOU FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO ADMIT YOU ARE GUTTED WE HAVE SIGNED NOBODY TODAY??????

 

 

Have you considered the possibility that most of us are not "gutted"?

 

Just a thought.

Very astute point...

I'll do better than that.. I'll have two..

 

Go to bed and be a better man in the morning for it..

 

maybe I should try that?

 

Nah bollox.. I'll stay up and argue about vlads impotent running of my beloved club..

As we try to balance the books perhaps we needed to move more on before we got others in and did not manage it.

Which is why I used the word 'some'...just a thought!

That is quite possibly a good explanation with regards to our lack of signings...

I'm tired of arguing...

 

Tullberg

 

You haven't seen him, I haven't seen him, but he's a striker. I agree with you that we could do with another, but from your posts, you seem to think that it's the end of the world if we don't sign another.

 

We're doing well so far with what we've got, and Tullberg can only add to the side.

Good point. Goncalves and Elliot are technically loaned out.

My opinion? Hearts saw an opportunity rather than a pressing need. And knowing who they were up against, there was a fair chance that this could be done for the minimum of outlay.

 

It didn't work out, cause the player wanted to go to them, and they wanted him more.

 

Missing out on an opportunist attempt does not neccessitate spending money to make up for it. That's how we ended up ?36M in debt....

[Francis Albert]

Which is why I used the word 'some'...just a thought!

 

A quite stunningly illogical response.

 

So why state that some of us won't admit to being gutted?

 

Unless of course you can read peoples' minds and can identify who is gutted and who is not?

[dhammajambo]

People seem to forget that we have won 3 out 4 of our league games and that we are beginning to play decent football. We're sitting 3rd in the league so i do not understand the doom and gloom attitude on here, the hobos have made a good signing however they will still struggle in the SPL this season whereas i feel we will do well under Csaba's guidance, we were never going to sign deek, as we have become used to being built up with anticipation towards the end of transfer windows for the last few years, therefore it was obvious it was all paper/vlad talk

[Tane]

I'm tired of arguing...

 

Tullberg

 

You haven't seen him, I haven't seen him, but he's a striker. I agree with you that we could do with another, but from your posts, you seem to think that it's the end of the world if we don't sign another.

Well since you agree with what I am saying then why are you arguing in the first place???

 

There was a "but" in there...

[Groot]

Simple fact is to get a proven goalscorer would cost too much what we've got to hope is that with a decent coach, which i think everybody agrees we now have, we can take what we have and make a goalscorer from one of them

 

Knew I wasn't the only one to get brains!!

 

Hello from Norway:mj_zivili:

So...you don't think it is a pressing need we sign a goalscorer then hmmm?

 

Can you explain to me why, if you're assumptions are correct...our club would waste their time pursuing a player that they only saw as a possibly opportunist signing???? Do you think that even makes any sense whatsoever with regards to professionalism? Why on earth would people who are paid a lot of money by the club waste their time on such a pursuit??? When if they had the finances required, they would have been better served putting effort into someone they actually really wanted at the club???

 

If you ask me this whole scenario was a PR stunt by the club...and we were never REALLY serious about signing the player...which has happened now in oooOOOOooooh the last few transfer windows.

[Dunks]

I'm gutted.

 

I'm gutted I just sat and read this whole thread. I could've spent my time more productively watching internet porn. Thanks.

[alwaysthereinspirit]

No wind up. Arthur has decided that he knows what is best for us and if you're not gutted then you're a Mad Vlad supporter. It's pretty simple actually.

I'd like our strikers to pitch in with goals more, sure. However, our position of 2nd top goalscorers in the SPL after the first 4 games suggests we're not in a drought.

 

For the record, I see no problem at all in an opportunist signing. I don't think Riordan was ever going to be right for us personally, however people at Hearts felt that the unique situation with him

meant that there was a potentially huge bargain if they could establish some semblance of professionalism from the player. That didn't happen, and the bargain never materialised.

 

The previous transfer windows? LeTallec you mean? Who turned us down for a bigger club?

[Tane]

Even if Arthur isn't actually a Hibs fan, as I still believe is the case, he has lost all credibility thanks to this thread.

So because a bloke lets loose his frustration, tell people what he thinks, isn't happy with the way things have gone, continues to hold his own in arguments and stands firm in his beliefs that the club has shortchanged the paying fans in the transfer window... He's a hobo?

 

Feck me people, there's more to life than outing potential hobos in kickback...

 

Having your own opinion is a start, and most certainly not a hobo trait.

Pathetic aint it...if you don't 'fit in' with the JKB mafia you are derided as a Hobo...or if you state you're opinion on JKB and certain people disagree, once again you are a Hobo...

 

Some of the people on here really need to have a word with themselves...they are obviously far too obsessed by their internet 'credability and characters'...embarassing.

Totally mate.. I've lost count of the Hobo emoticons on threads on JKB.. it's really embarrassing..

 

I don't see that thinking we've once again been shafted as regards ambition and smokescreens, is a non-hearts way of thinking.

 

Why do people continue with this purile sheeit? I think its a lack of ambition in themselves... Blind loyalty is no loyalty at all.. just a highway to having the **** taken out of you.

 

There's more than one puppet a thearts.. the manager is the least of them..

HAving an opinion isnt the issue.. its the continued lambastation of people as a hobo simoly because they go against the general concensus on kickback which is the point I was making.

 

And btw, correcting grammatical errors is a truly cringworthy, nauseating and quite pathetic pasttime in itself.

 

This is suppoosedly an forum open to all, therefore a bit more tolerance re the english language and its use may be in order.

 

If, however, you are exactly correct in everything you say, communicate otherwise during every single second of your life (is that correct? I'm not sure as I may be a hobo..).. then please forgive my ignorance and all too obvious stupidity...

 

If however you believe people are entitled to an opinion, feck off and be prepared to realsise that there are hearts fans, young and old alike, who believe that yet again we have shortchanged and generally held up for mugs by this regime.

If i'm wrong I'm sure it will all come out in the wash.. however being a potential I will no doubt do acomplete about turn and hail the regime as the only true succesor to thatcherism.. ar stalinism. or marxism.. or any other ism.. poitics suck. Biology was more interesting at school.....

[kennygarland1]

I would've taken him in a heartbeat,pardon the pun,the fact we have'nt signed anyone,and were outbid by the Hobos, is a ****ing disgrace.VLAD GET TAE **** YA STINGY *******

[Sharpie]

Just want to state I am not gutted, I really did not anticipate any signings. I figured the Reardon thing was a case of if he signs he signs, if not so be it.

 

I am not a scout, and a long way from being as close as others to the Scottish scene, but I have not seen a lot of names mentioned who were possibly available to sign even if we had wanted to. There were certainly names mentioned on here but the general consensus was, too old, no better than we,ve got, and not a goal scorer.

 

We did not bring in anyone from Kaunas, we now have to depend on Csaba being as good as some of us think he is. Time will tell, and again what can we do about it.

[kennygarland1]

As I said earlier, it would be all smoke and mirrors...we would come out with a statement saying we had tried to get Riordan, and it never happened...

 

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP FALLING FOR THIS NONSENSE????????????

 

The last few transfer windows have resulted in EXACTLY the same situation...why did people believe that it would be different this time? How many times do you all need before you realise how things are??????

 

In my opinion a lot of 'regular' posters on this site need a sharp dose of reality...they are happy to live in a world of their own creation. where they are 'in the know' and believe they have some inside information with regards to what is happening at our club.

 

The fact that we have been outbid by Hibs, with regards to a player that Vlad has wanted for a while speaks volumes...but the usual suspects will attempt to state that we are ok with what we have, and that everything is ok...strange that the very same individuals were the ones who were stating that we needed a striker etc etc...WHY ON EARTH DO SOME PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM APPEAR UNABLE TO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD???? I am speaking about the people that are on here 24/7, with a few thousand posts to their name...

 

I call it like I see it, and if we do not sign a goal score in this transfer window, at the very LEAST...then in myopinion it is a complete disgrace...I couldn't care if the usual suspects come out and say 'But we have scored the most goals in the SPL'...strange that these same people are normally the same people that are moaning all the time about having nobody up front that can finish...

 

Certain people need to step back and take a logical look at exactly what is happening...we needed to strengthen the forward position at the very minimum in this transfer window, and we have lost out to our bitter rivals with regards to our main transfer target...when they apparently have nowhere near the kind of financial package on offer...do we have a backup in place? probably not? Will we sign someone? Probably not...Have we been let down once again...YES!!! And anyone who attempts to justify this, is in my humble opinion...simply trying to do what Csaba is at the moment...and papering over the cracks. If we are serious about becoming a force in this league, now was the time to put a marker down...and we have failed miserably.

 

No doubt I will be slated for this by the usual apologists...but is simply my opinion. i do not care that we never signed Ratboy...I predicted this would happen...but in my opinion if we do not sign a goal poacher, then it is an absolute disgrace, and it will be quite clear that we have bugger all money to progress the team...no matter what statements Vlad or Csabe comes out with.

 

I really hope I am completely wrong, and we pull something out at the last minute...but I honestly have no faith whatsoever in that happening.

Sadly you proved to be correct in everything you said,i concur and would just like to add VLAD GET TAE **** YA TOOL.

[kennygarland1]

all I've said about Riordan was that people comparing him to Robertson was disgraceful and in the past I've said that he should not be considered if he's going to be a destructive influence on the dressing room, which I believe he would be.

 

as for a striker, I've already said that I think we need one and I hope Tullberg is the answer but I realise that getting a striker that will improve our team is a lot more difficult than just saying "I want this guy, great he's signed".

 

What's disgraceful about it? They both are Hibs fans and can score goals.

I agree with every word you have said in your posts in this thread!. My blood was boiling at the fact we(well...I) have been let down big time. I pay good money to watch Hearts season in season out and I believe we are desparately needing a goalscorer/Poacher. Hearts have signed a 5 players during the window and fair play but how much money has vlad spent on them??...Tullberg(Loan)Mrowiec(Loan)Balough(Loan)Kello(Loan?)Obua(?). I understand that loaning players may be a good thing in modern times but that return from vlad aint good enough for ME hence my agreement with Arthur's posts. Hearts have started this season well and surprised a few people,myself included, but the start could have been boosted by the arrival of someone to put the ball in the back of the net. I respect other fans views on the matter but nobody can be happy that we have been short changed by the club. I can gaurantee that alot if not the majority of Hearts fans will be feeling the same way,because the past few matches i have attended all i have heard coming from the stands is... "Mole aint good enough"..."we need strikers"..."c'mon vlad get strikers in"!!!. In general there will be a disappointment amongst some fans and others, like a fair few on here won't really care. Thats life so lets all get on with it.

As I said earlier, it would be all smoke and mirrors...we would come out with a statement saying we had tried to get Riordan, and it never happened...

 

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP FALLING FOR THIS NONSENSE????????????

 

The last few transfer windows have resulted in EXACTLY the same situation...why did people believe that it would be different this time? How many times do you all need before you realise how things are??????

 

In my opinion a lot of 'regular' posters on this site need a sharp dose of reality...they are happy to live in a world of their own creation. where they are 'in the know' and believe they have some inside information with regards to what is happening at our club.

 

The fact that we have been outbid by Hibs, with regards to a player that Vlad has wanted for a while speaks volumes...but the usual suspects will attempt to state that we are ok with what we have, and that everything is ok...strange that the very same individuals were the ones who were stating that we needed a striker etc etc...WHY ON EARTH DO SOME PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM APPEAR UNABLE TO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD???? I am speaking about the people that are on here 24/7, with a few thousand posts to their name...

 

I call it like I see it, and if we do not sign a goal score in this transfer window, at the very LEAST...then in myopinion it is a complete disgrace...I couldn't care if the usual suspects come out and say 'But we have scored the most goals in the SPL'...strange that these same people are normally the same people that are moaning all the time about having nobody up front that can finish...

 

Certain people need to step back and take a logical look at exactly what is happening...we needed to strengthen the forward position at the very minimum in this transfer window, and we have lost out to our bitter rivals with regards to our main transfer target...when they apparently have nowhere near the kind of financial package on offer...do we have a backup in place? probably not? Will we sign someone? Probably not...Have we been let down once again...YES!!! And anyone who attempts to justify this, is in my humble opinion...simply trying to do what Csaba is at the moment...and papering over the cracks. If we are serious about becoming a force in this league, now was the time to put a marker down...and we have failed miserably.

 

No doubt I will be slated for this by the usual apologists...but is simply my opinion. i do not care that we never signed Ratboy...I predicted this would happen...but in my opinion if we do not sign a goal poacher, then it is an absolute disgrace, and it will be quite clear that we have bugger all money to progress the team...no matter what statements Vlad or Csabe comes out with.

 

I really hope I am completely wrong, and we pull something out at the last minute...but I honestly have no faith whatsoever in that happening.

 

I agree with every word you have said in your posts in this thread!. My blood was boiling at the fact we(well...I) have been let down big time. I pay good money to watch Hearts season in season out and I believe we are desparately needing a goalscorer/Poacher. Hearts have signed 5 players during the window and fair play but how much money has vlad spent on them??...Tullberg(Loan)Mrowiec(Loan)Balough(Loan)Kello(Loan?)Obua(?).

Oh really? Would you care to elaborate on that statement?

 

Have you actually even read this thread at all or just the opening post?
