A Robbo type striker would have 7 or 8 goals easy already this season. We have played a hell of a lot of balls across the face of goalmouths but nobody has the instinct, ability or bravery to get into the important position. If we can find the right type of player to link with Nade and score the goals we might actually start to win a few games by more than a goal and therein save the horrendous last few minutes of games when we get deeper and hang on for our lives !

Guest JamboRobbo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Exactly as some of us were saying in the summer, when he was busy signing 2 keepers, neither of whom appear to be significantly better than the 2 we had. To be fair to Csaba, he didn't really know how poor our attacking options were back then. At least he seems to recognise the desperate need now, and hopefully he'll get what he wants in the window. The supporters on here, who were saying Csaba was right to sign the keepers, and that we'd be fine without new strikers on the other hand, well, they've shown how little they know about football.

That's because it is sometimes our lone Striker that is playing the balls into the empty space he has left as he goes on a mazy run down the wing (i'm talking of course about the wonderful, tactically aware Jamie Mole) There was a lot more to John Robertson's game than simply hanging around the six yard box BTW, I think you must be thinking of Ally McCoist.

Dr. Bapswent Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Apologies if already posted, couldn't see it anywhere. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/hearts/2008/11/26/hearts-boss-csaba-laszlo-targets-striker-in-transfer-window-86908-20926474/ Hearts boss Csaba Laszlo targets striker in transfer window Nov 26 2008 HEARTS manager Csaba Laszlo has revealed he will make a striker his top transfer target in January. Laszlo suffered a double injury blow to his forward line this week when Mike Tullberg had a setback in his recovery from a troublesome thigh injury and Jamie Mole suffered a suspected broken foot. The Jambos boss will now attempt to bring in reinforcements. He said: "We have a plan for January but it's too early to talk about it in detail. "I think we maybe have some problems in two or three positions but we must look at the striker position. "We will look to the future, for young players who can benefit the team for many years." Laszlo is prepared to sell as well as buy when the transfer window opens. "Maybe somebody would like to take players from us and, if a player wants to leave, business goes on," he said. "We would like to bring players and sell but we don't want to sell and damage the team." With Christian Nade their only in-form forward, Hearts will be looking for goals from all areas of the team when they host Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League on Saturday. Winger Andrew Driver is happy to oblige, even if it costs him a few sleepless nights. "When I first came in the team and scored I would not be able to sleep but I've got used to it now," he said. "I would give anything for a win at the weekend. The boys want to get into Europe. That's the aim. "We did not believe it ourselves at the start of the season but in the changing room now we do see it as a possibility. "I think anyone who comes to Tynecastle has got to be wary, even if the team is playing poorly. When you have the fans behind us, we will always be a hard team to beat. "We go into this game with something to prove. We've started to get results together against the other teams and so we need to get something out of it."

Frankenstein Jambo. Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well sense finally prevails. Its common sense that the area we lack is a potent goalscorer.

Edit, just seen your post above. "Thursday, 1 February 2007, 11:20 GMT Hungary striker signs for Tykes Barnsley have signed Hungary international striker Istvan Ferenczi from Zalaegerszeg. The Tykes will pay a "considerable six-figure fee" for Ferenczi, who has signed to stay at Oakwell until 2009. Ferenczi, 29, has been capped eight times and scored two international goals since making his debut against Jordan in 2001. Fellow Hungarian forward Peter Rajczi moved to Oakwell on loan from Ujpest Dosza earlier in the week. Ferenczi has had previous spells abroad with Bulgarian club Levski Sofia and Vfl Osnabruck in Germany. " or: "But Watford, who parted company with manager Adrian Boothroyd 12 days ago, twice went close themselves through Hungarian striker Tamas Priskin."

We have played a hell of a lot of balls across the face of goalmouths but nobody has the instinct, ability or bravery to get into the important position. I agree with what you say magicTs. Many of the balls that we play into the box receive no finishing touch, because we have no one with that poacher/killer type instinct in the box. And on the flip side the fans get frustrated and we, and I include myself, take our frustrations out on the wingers, and complain about the standard of crosses being delivered. Truth is many of these crosses we think are poor could be converted if the right man was there, now all we have to do is try and find that right man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd half at Falkirk inparticular, as we attacked the end full of Jambos we must have put half a dozen balls into great areas which should have resulted in goals and likewise several of the home wins should have been more comfortable. As people have said elsewhere on the thread the vast majority of the time our lone striker is all too happy to wander way outside the box in areas where other's should be working. It's not always the striker's fault but for me it shows they are not nearly interested enough in scoring goals. We need someone who is ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sitting third and should surely be looking at players who will further or solidify that, I cannot for a second believe Armand One will do that or is even worth a look. Hopefully it is nothing more than a rumour. Players like Nemeth on loan til the end of the season is precisely what we need, a few goals to our game and we should be a shoe in for third.

Coco Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I agree with comments suggesting that we could have scored many more goals with a poacher on the field. None of Nade, Mole or anybody who has played in the hole for us has any striker instinct for getting across defenders or on the end of crosses. Aguiar and Nade in particular are way too slow to get on the end of crosses (though they both have other clear merits). But in terms of the shape of the side as is so rigidly and inflexibly played there's no room for a poacher anyway. Assuming there isn't someone of Torres-like ability coming who can run channels and score goals - who drops out for a new striker to play beside Nade? The hole player? One of the wingers? The holding midfielder? Or is a new striker just the new 60 minute replacement striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
