grumpyespana Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Having watched the cup game on free sat last night is there any saints players who caught your eye and could do a job for us, I like the first half displays of Morris & Swankie but they fell away in the second half.

speedbump Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 You started a thread about that trumpet Morris last night and nobody agreed with you. Give it up;):tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've always admired Colin Samuel. He maybe wasn't on top form last night however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbee647 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 there are a lot of good players at this level, for far too long we and other scottish clubs have looked down on players outwith the SPL, Craig levein has proved there are gems at this level ie Gomis Dixon Robertson and the guy Danny Swanson who i beleive will be a big star in the future. We had lots of success under jefferies when he signed Weir Mccann and Jim Hamilton from first division clubs. The difference between the SPL and the first division is not as great as many would you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The right back Garry Irvine looked a good player - although we have a number of options & prospects for that position at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Jambo 60 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The right back Garry Irvine looked a good player - although we have a number of options & prospects for that position at present. The own goal was a stoater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Aye,we should try giving that fellow Holmes a wee shot. wonder if I'll catch a big un. It was good to see big 'Homer' again, I first saw that kid when he was about 16 in the Hearts youth teams about the same time as Robbie Neilson & Kenny Milne played.

jambonian Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Seen some of Andy Jackson last season, seemed a decent prospect and was mentioned on here at the start of the season, maybe worth keeping an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Liam Craig, Gary Irvine and Andy Jackson are all very good young players and with the exception of Irvine in areas we need cover/players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 i was largely unimpressed with them. for a team that's doing so well in their division, you would normally expect a couple of crackers. swankey has been mentioned before as a good prospect but he wasn't a standout last night. the keeper seems like a good prospect for the hobos though.

Professor.Arturo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Swankie was ripping the huns up last night, defo SPL quality. As was said, he did fall away a bit in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Gavin Swankie is not good enough to be an SPL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamdub Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 None better than our up and coming youngsters who will be given the chance if good enough, that is the only way to go. I would still like a proven goalscorer now, but no different to thousands of Jambos amd Shabba I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilston angel Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Its not about watching one game its about doing your homework and watching over a period of time. I assume we have spotters in the lower divisions or do we ? There are gems to be unearthed as CL has demonstrated and I ask again if anyone knows who does the scouting for Hearts in those leagues. I've just read a tremendous book about Brian Clough by David Peace ( The Damned Utd ) its part fiction but a great read and recommend it. It underlines the importance of having a great player spotter and Clough certainly had that in Peter Taylor. Taylor pulled some great finds from relative obscurity especially in their early days in management and culminated in them lifting the European Cup twice, but again signing the right players albeit from better quality.

12XU Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 St Johnstome are a good Div 1 team - as were Hamilton ( and previously Dundee and Dunfermline for example ) who all have struggled in the SPL in recent years. I do not see any St Johnstone player who could come into a Hearts team and make us any better. If - as I expect St Johnstone do win promotion I am sure they will be difficult to beat but will hover around positions 9 - 12 in the SPL ( at least in the first season ) So - no thanks - we dont need a farmer.
