Scallywag Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We only lost Berra, so I suppose things could have been worse. However, not bringing in a striker means we are unlikley to get a european place IMO. I am very disapointed we couldn't even get someone in on lone, clubs like Motherwell seem to be able to do it but we can't. An injury to Nade or in the center of defence will effectivly end our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be lucky to finish inthe top 6 now. Berra going has seriously weakened the defence as evident by the Hamilton humiliation... still we have no striker who knows where the goals are. We have won scrappy games all season and now with the likes of Utd, Well, Sheep and hobos maintaining their squads... our shot shy team have a big problem staying in the top 6! The only thing that would have compensated for the loss of Berra was the addition of a DECENT striker... we have been short changed BIG TIME!

The money from a European run could have bolstered our accounts, well played Hearts. I remember thinking in August that our failure to sign a striker would really hurt us this season. So far we've got by but this time it really will cost us. At least in August, Nade was still coming back and we still hadn't seen Tullberg. We didn't need to spend a lot of money on a replacement, you only need to look at some of the strikers that the rest of the SPL have signed in the last six months to tell you that. Not only could it cost us money in terms of the league and Europe but also in the Scottish Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only could it cost us money in terms of the league and Europe but also in the Scottish Cup. spot on Martin, a striker on a free or for nominal fee could have done a job for us, we're worse off now as Berras gone. Probably cost us 3rd and a decent cup run which is a real shame, a little money might have had a greater return I'm disapponited but not surprised the recent poll on kickback showed around 75% did nae think we'd signed a striker. Och well at least we did nae have to stay up until midnight this year! Yes to the Op's question. Its got to be Gary Glen or bust now, (hate putting pressure on the laddie) but hes our best option nade has improved but there has been not enough goals.

Not only could it cost us money in terms of the league and Europe but also in the Scottish Cup. Let me make this clear first , i am not Nade's greatest fan however i am not convinced our problems stem only from not having a prolific striker. I am more concerned about the lack of clear cut chance we are making as a team . If we are playing with 5 in midfield then surely we should be dominating the middle of the park especially against lesser teams such as Hamilton however the recent evidence against these smaller teams would suggest there is a fundamental flaw in the quality of the players or system . If our striker was missing chance after chance then we could argue that it is solely the strikers lack of clinical finishing that is costing us points and a better goal difference. From what i have been watching this season most of our goals have not been contrived flowing moves but mostly opportunistic strikes which puts a hell of a pressure on our striker/s to score maybe there only chance in the game.

tartofmidlothian Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Disappointed if they haven't been able to sign a striker but selling Berra & releasing several players should help the club finances & make squad numbers more manageable. Given a mass fire-sale clearout was predicted it wasn't so bad. Absolutely right. Plus at least we kept Balogh and tied up Black for the summer. Anything else would have been a bonus, though a shame not to at least try and fill the gap left by Berra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Root Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'd say no. I would assume he is placing all his faith in youth, or really that's what he'll say so all money comes in and none heads out. Shall see though, if we get UEFA then the gamble worked, if not then the loss of Euro money won't help the club's finances at all. I'd say though the main feck up was Farkas. If we can't even pull together a transfer to completion, who the hell is in charge of contracts and why ain't their arse fired by now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The list of twenty-five players does not appear to have had much effect. Like the majority of others, I feel we should have strengthened the existing squad with one striker who could start immediately; this has not happened. Nonetheless, if our intention is to sign players who are almost out of contract I expect to hear us signing pre-contracts with players between now and the summer. If that doesn't materialise, I can't see us making significant progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 A mixture of good, bad, indifferent and downright horrendous news. Good news - keeping Driver, Aguair, Jonsson and Karipidis. Binning Makela, Basso, Ksanaviius, Mole and several primadonna youngsters. Not shipping in a whole load of Kaunas dross. Bad news - losing Berra for a fairly mediocre amount when he was easily our best defender. The return of Clum. Robbie Neilson new Hearts captain (nice lad, good pro but deary dear). Indifferent news - signing Balogh (when we never had much money it should have been spent on a striker not a keeper who is not much better than the other's we have). Not replacing Berra meaning we are now relying on playing Jonsson at centre half. Csaba has in the main been refreshing and positive this season but the suspicion remains he has little influence over building his own squad. Horrendous news - the complete ineptitude of HMFC in not bringing in at least one striker. Given that it had been obvious for 5 months that our 'strikers' were completely useless it was bad enough we had nobody ready to come in for the first week in January but to get to the end of the transfer window and still have nobody in is an utter disgrace. It shows that Romanov is completely removed from the situation we have been in and frankly clueless to the absolute crap we have had to watch playing up front. Clubs like Kilmarnock, Hamilton, Falkirk and Motherwell actually have better options up front than us. Totally pathetic and may well cost us European football.
