JamboMarc Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Ok, dissapointing end for us in the transfer market today with no new signings. However, we have had a good start to the season and were sitting 3rd in the league. We still have a few players in Tullberg, Mroweic, Balogh and a fully fit Nade to come!! Before we know it it will be January and we will be looking to bring in 1 or 2 new faces. Hopefully we are still up in the top 3 and european football is a strong possibility, inviting new, good players. At the same time we will need to fight to keep hold of players such as Berra and Driver. But Im still fairly confident we are the 3rd best team in the SPL and Im looking forward to a successfull season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iplseczed Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 So, to sum up - we've signed five new players. Two of whom are goalkeepers, which has effectively secured the final nail in young Jamie MacDonald's Hearts career coffin (was hoping he'd get his chance this season). Another of whom is an injured striker who, if we're honest, we know bugger all about and could be absolutely guff, given that he's yet to prove himself (that said, he could be amazing but given our track record of Romanov-influenced purchases I'm not holding out much hope). Can't help but feel a little disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyespana Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Stayed up until 1.00am in Spain and again like the last january window gutted that we did not sign a goalscorer, it was a great chance to close out the rest of the bunch apart from the OF but we will just have to get on with things. Just thinking if we were keen on riordan why did we not have a plan B in place or is Csaba happy with his lot. Grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 What a huge disappointment. We were crying out for a striker. Oh well there's always January. Not so much dissappointed about Riordan (obviously he didnt have the bottle to come to us) as astonished that we havent signed a striker. Big mistake in my opinion, because what we have up front patently isnt good enough and January is too feckin late to fix it. Lot of pressure on this boy Tullberg now.

bighusref Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Odd from Hearts, yet again. Seems (from the outside looking in) that it was Riordan or nobody. We MUST have suspected that he would favour a return to his previous team (a team he loves) ahead of us. We SURELY would have made in-roads into looking at another option, a contingency plan, just in case he went to Easter Road. IF we really tried to sign him, then it is further oddness from VR IMO.

Seymour M Hersh Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why is everyone bleating about no buying on the last day of the window.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why is everyone bleating about no buying on the last day of the window. Yes I know a guaranteed 20+ goal a season striker would have been great Think you've answered you're own question Seymour. I'm dissapointed we haven't brought in the striker we so desperately need. We're not gambling on Mole/Glen coming stepping up to the challenge (Glen looks like the one with the talent to me), or Nade finding form/fitness, or Tullberg being the real deal. All four of those options are gambles IMO. With a bit of luck one of them will come good, but I'd rather we'd signed a proven striker, someone we know ill get goals, and allow Mole,Glen, Nade and Tullberg to compete for the other striker spot. At the same time, if we genuinely couldn't get someone, I'd rather we wait till January than buy someone just for the sake of it. But I'm dissapointed that we weren't better organised so that we were in a position to get in the players our squad needs before the window closed. It's not like it was a surprise that we are looking for a striker - we sold our last half decent one 8 months ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfer window sux. Fact. Your last statement is the key bit. I agree with that wholeheartedly, had there been no such thing, bringing Laszlo at such a late date would not have been a huge issue. Sadly, we dragged our heels, approached a couple of other managers then settled for Laszlo. He IS the key signing of the last window, pity we didn't give him time to build a team.

I agree with what your saying but I wouldn't want someone brought in on the last day as some kind of panic buy to assuage fan worries. As for selling Valicka I think Vlad got well and truly burned on that. I don't think he had an inkling that the Viking manager was an ex hun!! I am hoping that Tullberg turns out to be a great acquisition. I am not expecting him to be the 20 plus goal scorer but the big provider of goals for others. Would you prefer 1 striker getting 20-22 goals per year or 3 strikers getting 12 -15 each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's not like it was a surprise that we are looking for a striker - we sold our last half decent one 8 months ago! Proof of itself that league position is not the main aspiration of Romanov - except in so far as avoiding relegation is concerned Vlad has worked out that where we finish in the league doesnt really affect the value of his assets. He has also worked out that if we sign talented players or players with a certain pedigree, there is a chance to make money on them if their form suffers, or if they dont play with us (Bednar / Jose). I think he has worked out it costs a disproportionate amount of money to challenge higher up the league and that he can still pull in transfer fees if we finish bottom six, and that to "guarantee" 3rd by investing in the team might actually cost him more money than he would get in return. So why bother? Hearts are being run as a business. Turning over players at their perceived maximum value no matter the impact on league placings. All Vlad needs to do this is keep the club ticking over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have known Egil Ostenstaad played for Rangers and let's be honest even if he didn't - would it have stopped him ? Not a chance. Velicka is the only Lith from FBK Kaunas in over 3 years VR has managed to sell. There is no way he was knocking back that money. That is the whole purpose of his pyramid.

davieholt Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It has been claimed a couple of times that Vlad is only interested in the resale value of players and that our league position doesn't matter to him. I don't buy it ! We know that he loves the game and is a football supporter. When he first came he brought in a lot of well paid players and during THAT memorable transfer window he blew the budget on a whole string of imports. Since then things have changed, notably the credit crunch. I would not at all be surprised if Ukio is under sever pressure to reduce potentially bad debts from its own regulator. Hearts have sold players and realised a lot of cash (?13m or so ?) and I'm convinced they were under orders from the bank. When banking pressure eventually eases we may get back to the financial position that Vlad wants but, until then, it will be loan deals and youngsters.
