I think it might be worth giving the McGowan lad a try as I am afraid as much as I love Eggert I don't think he will make a Central Defender. He has struggled in the last couple of games in my opinion, it's just a pity we missed the transfer deadline with Berra's replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Ian Malcolm Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Tin hat on, but we've not had a better defender since Webster. Yeah he's a toss, but he was by far and aay our best centre half. If it wasn't for his fall out with Vlad, IMO he would have been our next captain, and eventually, big money transfer. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capone Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I wud be happy if they put kari back to CB playing along side Big Zal. I really hope McGowen get a chance, but we have to bring him in gradually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for his fall out with Vlad, IMO he would have been our next captain, and eventually, big money transfer. Shame. I do seem to remember that Webster, aided and abetted by Duddy, engineered his way out of Tynecastle and towards Ibrox. So perhaps a little harsh to suggest he left due to a falling out with Vlad.

Kind of touching on the point raised by thunderstruck, Webster was offered a deal by Hearts reportedly greater than probably anything he's earned since then Everything that has happened to him has been his own making. To go on to your main point, I don't see a great deal of difference as players between the two with one big difference, Berra has pace and that is what wil take him further than Webster could ever dream of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartsfc_fan Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not too bothered about not signing anyone in defence, or anyone in midfield for that matter. I'm just **** off that we release Makela (ok he was mince), loan out Mole. We only have Nade (who doesn't score goals) Glen and Elliot in attack.

Scallywag Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes Webster was an excellent defender, so was Pressley. After a bit of time Berra provd to be another excellent center half. It's all history. Eggert is an excellent young prospect but does not half the prescence to be a good center half on my opinion. Just like Glen is an excellent prospect but is not quite ready to be the main goal scorer for the club. The manager has been left with no choice but to look to youth so I hope the supporters give them the time to learn and do not take ther frustration out on them. Forget europe, forget Scottish Cup Finals, sit back and hope for the best. It's frustrating because a couple of loan signings and we would have a great chance of european football, but the owner has shown his ambition by running off with Berras transfer fee. All we can do now is get behind the youngsters, and get behind the manager ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scallywag Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Aw ******** the moaning ! Bring on Falkirk in the Cup and hope the youngsters can pull us out of the ****e ! If the players we have play for the jersey we won't be far off, so Larry, Miko, Chesney, Tullberg & Clum get the finger out and start earning your pay ! F.T.H.

Elroyofderovers Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I really like Shabba but am worried by 1 thing. His crazy selections: 1) Why play Eggert when we have a perfectly capable CH in Kari? (Eggert should never have been playing CH, never won a single header against ICT). 2) Why take Bruno off and keep Stewart on when he is having a total nightmare? (ICT) I don't think he knows his players and their best positions yet and that is why we have dropped some crazy points this season. Oh and playing 1 up front most weeks. I think it is all doom & gloom if he keeps on playing Eggert at CH with Zali. Was really looking forward to the next 3 games at home. Not now.

hisnameis Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 When pressley and webster played together we had the best defensive record in the league . Yes webster wanted to join rangers (boyhood heroes) but hartley wanted to join celtic.(boyhood heroes. ) Difference being Vlad wanted to punt Hartley and keep webster to maximise profit later. Net result Webster gets dropped at the expense of the team to black mail him into signing a new contract. Hartley leaves with Vlad and the fans blessing.The rest is history no winners imo.

Throw in Gordon as well and its no wonder the defence is worse nowadays! We had a better defence than either the old ****, but it was all about timing and astute buys over a few years. Gordon was a 1 in a million youth product for a team like Hearts. Webster was a cracking piece of business for 80k and Pressley was the right age to bring them through into the team and lead. We wont see a defence like that again for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen comments saying he will be a Premiership defender in few years, that he's better than Elvis and Davie Weir. I remember seeing comments saying that Goncalves had the potential to play for Real Madrid. I had about a 20 page debate with a few posters who claimed than Kingston was world class.
