Why don't we offer him a contract till Jan? Put him in the team ahead of Wallace? Couldn't do a lot worse then that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he could Wallace is not a bad player, he's just at the wrong club I guarentee if Wallace went to a club like Dundee Utd, Hibs or even the OF he would quickly be a top SPL prospect again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo ry Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Wallace has turned into a right bombscare! he cost us goals at Ibrox, Falkirk and almost another on Saturday!

heartsfc_fan Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Maybury is better than Wallace, fact. Exactly. Maybury can actually tackle aswell. And I seem to remember, has quite a shot on him. A last min 25 yard goal against Partick or someone a while back?2002 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 While not the greatest I would play him at RB and LB before anyone else at the club at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Maybury's strongest position is right back and not Wallace's left sided position If we could only play our players in their natural strongest position it would be a step in the right direction Wallace is the best LEFT back we have at the club right now Maybe Maybury is the best right back at Riccarton this week however we will not sign him as we are skint and anyway we have our youth players to promote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 As long as he shows his fitness get him signed on a short term deal ,makes so much sense ,clear as day we are needing an experienced older head in the back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the point is that our defence is crying out for an older experienced head; we have young talented prospects, but they need experience in amongst them. accordingly maybury would do us a job.

Aberdeen offered him a contract but he has a house in Edinburgh and did not want to travel or move again after Leicester plus I heard he did not rate Calderwood too much either. He has had other offers the latest I believe is from Crystal Palace but he would like to stay in Edinburgh so it does not take a lot to figure out where he would like to play his fooball.

bighusref Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 He is comfortable in either wing back position. That word was the key problem for Maybury when he was here IMO. I felt that he got the ball and tried to be a winger (which he wasn't) too often. I felt that we regularly looked exposed at right back because his ambition had him too far up field. At left back, I felt that he was a little less confident/ambitious about his offensive ability and stayed back a little and performed as a full back a lot better. For that reason alone, I preferred him at left back. I always want my defenders to defend first, anything else on top of that is a bonus. Having said all of that, I still think he was far from the quality that we should be looking for and always felt he was a weak link. Much like I have stated on this thread already, I am really surprised that we have fallen so far that I would say that he is a better option than either of our full backs. Laszlo's ignorance of the full back positions (or, did VR simply not deliver the full backs Laszlo wanted?) is criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so - but is he better than the present incumbents in either fullback position just now. As far a left back is concerned I would have to say a resounding yes.

I agree with most of what you say but you omitted to add that he ran the ball out of the park on numerous occasions unnecessarily. I'm not so sure of your last paragraph as Laszlo didn't have much time and maybe had to prioritise. That said the signings he did make, Kello excepted, have spent most of their time injured.

That said the signings he did make, Kello excepted, have spent most of their time injured. First part spot on! Yes, Maybury was bad for that. As for the last part, you are forgetting that Laszlo said that he only needed 30 minutes (or some equally small time) to judge a player! He had time to work out that we only had Banks (goalkeeper coach and first choice) and Basso who ended up falling foul of strict disciplinarian rules and would need a 'keeper. Surely he could have noticed that we did not have a left back in the squad, or if you believe that Wallace is a left back, we only have one. That is one more than we had goalkeepers yet he saw that problem. As for right back, Neilsons long term injury left us with only the untried Jason Thomson for right back. He MUST have recognised this issue pre season as he had games where he changed ten players but did not change Wallace as there was no replacement for him. Obua had been mooted as a possible left back, that appears to be inaccurate. As I say, given that he identified other issues (that were less pressing than the full back issues) his oversight is a huge error which we are paying for now.

I am sure he would be a useful foe for Wallace & Jonnson to learn from Aye, that was the point; the claims that he cannot get a game anywhere are massively wide of the mark; okay there may be wage/home life issues, but there are certainly teams who want him to sign and play for them. I really think he would provide some much needed experience right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has one of the richest men in Scotland as majority shareholder. Can't afoard to pay Maybury a wage till january, but CAN afoard to pay 15k a week to Kingston who IMO is a lazy Barsteward. and you wonder why people dont go to tyne anymore whilst this goon is still at the club?!

Calel Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hopefully once Lazlo sees what he is all about we will get him signed up. He is clubless and I am pretty sure he won't be demanding a king's ransom to play - the guy clearly loves the club and the city. He is exactly what we need - a decent full back and a big personality which we are short of. I'm sure if he was plying behind Kingston, he'd give him a rocket when he falls out of position so might even help his game. Better than any full back at the club, no question of that.
