Captain Scarlett Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I hate to say it but am i the only one who doesnt give two hoots whether zal stays or goes? I mean if he does go it wouldnt be too hard to drop Karipidis back and make room for Black/Stewart/Ruben/Aguiar which ever three he likes! If the money is right for Zal take it and run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindy Badgy Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 On his day he's a decent player. Unfortunately that day doesn't seem to come around very often. IF he can sort his consistency out he would be a decent player to keep in the squad. If he can't we should look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Move him on. As he's still an FBK Kaunas player they'l get the Transfer Fee so we'd be better putting a genuine Hearts player in the team and give him the chance to progress.

Not consistently good enough for me to be bothered. Makes bombscare mistakes or gets silly costly sending offs to often for me. Not bothered which club he's signed too though, as all the money goes to the same place in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his form recently he would be a loss but by no means an irreplacable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanes de Silentio Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Solid defender when properly focused. However, there are plenty of solid defenders out there who don't constantly run the risk of picking up stupid yellows and reds like Zal does. If it is true that there is significant interest in Zal, then the time to sell him is now - especially if the figures being mentioned (i.e. seven figure sums - not lire) are even remotely accurate. Punt the ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynecastle Valhalla Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 would be glad to see him gone, has decent games sometimes but when he is bad he is horrific. not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I don't think he's even a Hearts player. If reports are to be believed and Vlad does indeed want us to become self-sufficient then there is absolutely no reason for average players being here on loan. Punt him and play a player we might get money for one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 No better than Lee Wilkie/Diamond etc etc so no loss if he does go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth to Paisley Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He has undoubtably problems with his temperament but I beleive he will develop into a very good defender. What he needs is an experienced head beside him. The exact same could be said about Berra. One of them has to go and I would be more sorry to lose Berra at this point. The 'bombscare' comments are way overstated, these in my opinion are largely related to this country of birth and the discontent with our owner. My opinion.

Johanes de Silentio Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 And if Berra leaves? Any 2 from McGowan, Kari, Jonsson, Rapnik or the new Lith, Frakiditas (sp) whose meant to be arriving soon. Zal has been very good recently, but he's no good to us if he's going to get himself stupidly sent off on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johanes de Silentio Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Losing both Berra and Zaliukas will be a disaster, we will struggle to make Europe. You're probably right, mate - as I say, Zal and Berra have both been very solid recently. But rumour has it that the following players may be on the move: Balogh, Wallace, Berra, Kari, Bruno, Larry, Driver, Cesny, Zal. Many of these lads are key players - some may go, and some may stay. If any of our big players move on, there will be some effect on the team - all we can do is watch and see what happens, and hope that we can bring in some qvality - the bid for a European place may well be affected. Hopefully not. Our rivals may also lose a few good 'uns as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an easy scapegoat for many. he has taken over from miko as vlads first pick. at best,he has had 2/3 decent games. how many goals/points has he cost the team. if he's a 2 million player,the lochend projects are full of virgins.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Number 26 is an average at best centre half. Would be no real loss and I would rather see a youngster (we have a few talented defenders waiting) get a chance than a Kaunas loanee. Nowt to do with his nationality (Rapnick is Slovakian isn't he? I would love to see him get a shot) just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Csaba picks the team, Zaliukas has had a good number of decent games this year as well as making a few costly mistakes in others. I don't think he's a ?2 million player either.

willie wallace Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 1st sending off-he pulls back one of the league's top scorers who is through on goal from an offside position after his defensive partner fails to challenge the Celtic player who nodded it on. 2nd sending off-an Aberdeen player puts his head towards him and he receives a red card which a lot of people on here think we should appeal. I know he is a bit reckless at times but to suggest he has been stupidly sent off twice this season is a bit unfair.By the way did Mackie get booked for the tackle that led to Zal's yellow card.

Thunderstruck Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Like him or not and, FWIW, I rate him, Zaliukas forms an important part of a very solid back 4/5 that all work for and complement each other. The defensive unit, now that Csaba has got them through the "stormin and formin" phases, is probably one of the best in SPL - on current form. He is a defender that is rarely beaten in the air and when he does get his head on the ball he gets distance on it. He is quick and strong and doesn't shirk tackles. His reading of the game is improving and he has cut out the lapses in concentration that were a feature of his game. At 23 or 24 he, like Berra, is young for a centre-back. They both make mistakes - Berra, for example, was at fault for goal yesterday but he doesn't get an array of threads about him costing the club. Both are excellent prospects and neither should be under-valued in what they deliver to the team or what their replacement value is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Marius, I stand by my initial impressions that you are at best, a good footballer, a bit erratic and generally not too bright, but YOU WERE CHEATED BY BRINES YESTERDAY and I apologise for considering otherwise when I heard you had been sent off.
