tartofmidlothian Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 So we've been refunded for Copil, and Ersen Martin is a free agent in the summer - both good bits of news. And we enquired after one Nicolae Dica, a Romanian striker playing for Catania, but his wages were too high. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Excellent.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Dica He is a amazing striker on football manager Maybe and I will bet now he doesnt sign and if he does he will get injured never to be seen:mw_rolleyes: Forkas and Martin - we only had a month to set up deals for them, how ridicolous to expect that to happen. As for copil, it was suggested on here that we had never paid for him or Rapnik and both were sent home with the fees being written off. The level of cost cutting (even down to the 20 quid a week boys) worries me, and before we point out there was no fire sale, you need bids to actually sell folk.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Was a million from Coventry for Driver not a bid? Any official confirmation of this bid? Saw rumours, but it was suggested on here no formal bid was made. You would be the first one on moaning if we hadnt cut costs and released a lot of the "deadwood". Hearts cant win in your strange little world. We released more than enough deadwood as well as selling one first team player, we could have invested part of this money in a replacement in a striker and still been better off financially. It wont exactly be a great window if the loss of berra and lack of a striker cost us european income next year. will it? Or how about we brought in a few short term cheap loans to help us like utd did ? We didnt need to spend ridicolous sums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali-1874 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't understand why we were looking at a 6"5 striker when we have already got Nade as our target man? Surely we should've been looking for a goalscorer who could play off Nade rather than someone who's got a lot of height and strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawrrrrrrr Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Romanov told the Scotsman: "We have not received a satisfactory offer for Driver but we have been discussing the player with them." Discussing is not a bid. We could have told them we wanted 2 million and then accepted 1 million (like asking for 3 million for Berra and accepting less). Unless they bid the 1 million we didnt receive an officer to turn down. Is there any confirmation which specifically states they offered 1 million which we then rejected? Maybe we did but I havent seen anything which states we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Root Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 You will never see too many headed goals from Gary Glen or Calum Elliot. Looks like we found our 'new' striker Doesn't matter what they say will happen, who they looked at or are still looking at. Main thing is nobody was signed and we are still badly short up front. They could be looking at Rooney but until he's holding the scarf aloft it's all just bullsh*t to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Meldrew Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It isnt Its just you cannot put a positive spin on our transfer window activities from a footballing aspect. But why should the footbaling aspect be divorced from the financial realities. Romanov has (rightly in my view) been criticised for spending too much on the team and putting us into a financial position that meant going into this window we faced losing a number of players we really wanted to keep: Jonsson, Berra, Driver, Wallace, Aguiar, Karipidis even Neilson. In the end we lost Berra only whilst also reducing the wage bill by releasing plenty of others. If this means ultimately the club is on a sound financial footing, then I think that will be a good thing for the team on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostHunter Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Incredible. Here's what Csaba actually said... Asked today about Farkas and Martin, Laszlo was reluctant to go into detail, saying only: "I know these players but I cannot talk about this. We still have some possibilities." Here's what the Banderson came up with.... RECREATIVO de Huelva forward Ersen Martin and Artmedia Bratislava defender Pavol Farkas remain signing targets for Hearts despite the transfer window closing last night.

If it doesnt have loans/frees as backup just in case. Contingency planning. Nail on the head. You get to a point where the deal is practically done bar signing the paperwork and it we don't get any cash in (sell anyone) then you simply pull out of the deal. If the club have waited until they were sure the money for Berra was coming in before even trying to find out about someone then that is bad.

Surely we should've been looking for a goalscorer who could play off Nade rather than someone who's got a lot of height and strength. Laszlo's explained that he wants a tall target man and he thinks that Glen and Elliot are capable of playing in the channels off a target man. I don't think Nade is good enough in the air or mobile enough for this role - elephants cannot jump. Maybe Martin could negotiate an early release from his contract and could sign for us as a free agent? Great news about the Liths being sent home after their trial - I'm astounded (although not really surprised!) that JR the Hatkicker has managed to find a negative in this news! Its easy to be pessimistic - the losers way out - as you can only ever be proved right or pleasantly surprised. Positivity breeds positivity though.

Surely we should've been looking for a goalscorer who could play off Nade rather than someone who's got a lot of height and strength. Nade is neither a target man or a poacher. He's something in between. I just don't know what that is! FWIW, I think he'd be a great player in a team that plays with three up front, not one. In the same sort of role as Ricardo Fuller had for a very attacking Portsmouth team, a few years ago. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitonastranger Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 We could have looked at brining black in before the summer with the money from Berra, although we are strong in midfield, this may have allowed us to drop Kari back into CH position intil the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
