Jammy T Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I know nothing about this young lad.

CJGJ Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 About time -- one thing I have not understood so far in the Lithuanian link up is why we have not had a number of their best under 17/19 players at least training in Edinburgh. I know we cannot sign them all but there are always a few nuggets to be found and if the best came here as youngsters we could merge them with Scottish youngsters and have a better chance of developing our 'own' players -- especially as in the future there are moves to have 'home grown players' having to fill a substantial part of your squad. With our links to Lithuania I would be very unhappy if we missed out on potential 'star' players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Gosling Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Peanut, do you think in due course (if permitted) Csaba will want to bring in his own youth coaches ? Well he has Berger overseeing the 'U23' side, but I think if he's still here in a year's time and the youth team hasn't made significant progress (although Saturday's result was phenomenal considering how good Hamilton's youth system is) then I think he'd look to change things, yes.

Ryan Gosling Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The wee man’s contract with FC Vilnius ran out this summer so he was free to sign with the Edinburgh based club. “Hearts registered me both for the reserves and the main side” – the future Hibs punisher said.

Stanley_ Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 A. Novikovas has just singed for Hearts. He's a 17 y.o. that has been on trial with Benfica not so long ago Thanks for the info. This is the type of signing we should be making. I know a few people on this thread are joking about the negativity that we might expect from some posters to this news. I don't think we will see any. I'm happy to give Kaunas players a chance and not write them off before I've seen them but in the long-term this arrangement will not help us to progress to the next level. If we are going to sign Lithuanian players then we should be looking to sign in the best youngsters. Although the link with Kaunas has its benefits, I'd much rather see us sign the Kaunas players that we want permanently. If the manager wants the player he should be at us, not on loan from Kaunas. Bringing young Lithuanians in directly to us gives them some security with their contract at Hearts and it will help them to get less abuse from some fans for being another loanee from Kaunas.

That is exactly what I thought was going to happen when the link up started. Excellent news. I fully agree with you and perhaps just perhaps this is part of the Vlad "plan" for the long term. For me it is bringing in the best of the best young players from wherever and trying to make them into quality professionals for sell on in the future. Vlad after all seems to be very much money driven and not perhaps football driven. What we do not and never will need is the second rate dross that for some bizarre reason we have and still are to some extent being subjected to. Another step in the right direction IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be the Lithuanian youngster I posted we were going to sign. I think this will be the sign of the times,the boy went to Portugal because he was recommended by the kaunus /Lith NT team portugeese boy before he took over his new role. Obviously we cant mention names of youngsters until they are old enough to sign pro,but there are a few more in the pipeline. I doubt we will sign many more established lithuanian players from kaunus,but more east euros who have bean identified,we will get lithuanian youngsters .
