savage Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 what is really embarassing is that motherwell have gone out and strengthened by bringing in sheridan and another striker from birmingham on loan. why can we not go to premiership or championship sides and take young guys on loan. adam hamill of liverpool has just gone to barnsley or someone on loan. we cannot even sign one fecking player and we had a whole month to do it. if they say we ran out of time it is unacceptable. also if we had not wasted probably the best part of 4 million pounds on pinilla makela and pinilla we would have been in a better position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrhamilton Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Something's up here, when we haven't even secured either of the Kaunas boys on loan. Reckon Vlad's pulled the purse strings, cut then off and then buried the purse somewhere only he knows. Still, it really could be much worse! 17yr old Marius Zukovas has joined on loan... http://www.heartsfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HeartsNewsDetail/0,,10289~1541881,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I didn't expect us to sign a striker so my hopes aren't dashed. I'm surprised the OP has allowed himself to get so angry, considering our prepetual ineptitiude at the January window. I think we've signed an able goalkeeper, but Berra will be a bigger loss than what many on here might give him credit for. Still, we just have to get on with it. At least we didn't have the fire sale that one downmaket tabloid proclaimed. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Don Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Theres no excuses for missing the deadline on this guy. Weve had all weekend to get him signed its not like he was a last minute attempt to get someone signed. His name was being spoken about yesterday. In my sceptical opinion the deadline signing was missed deliberately so a statement could be released saying "We tried but unfortunately were too late in getting the paperwork finalised" or "There was complications in the paperwork" Complete shambles and no excuse whatsoever.

I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Cant honestly say anyone signed by any other SPL club around us particularly fills me with dread. Sheridan looks like a bit of a carthorse and whilst people talk Paul Caddis up, he's not going to get the Arabs third place on his own. The credit crunch has kicked in big time IMO. No one has done anything much and by finally signing The Baloch, we have become possibly the biggest spenders in the league!! Really disappointed we havent brought in a striker but the lack of even a decent rumour suggested it wasnt going to happen. We have started scoring a few more goals (3 against Inverness is an avalanche for us) but third place is going to be difficult. But having said that, no one on the back of this transfer window has emerged as a clear favourite. Its as you were really. I think the most significant thing is that Vlad has spent much of this window undoing most of the damage he has done over the last few seasons. A few hard lessons have obviously been learned over the last few weeks/months and big financial drains are being kicked out. This in the long term me prove every bit as significant for the club than any new signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buca junior Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Once again I am left underwhelmed after the Transfer Window.

A positive for me is that Csaba has looked at the squad, told VR who should go and they've gone. Seems to be listening Ok, Csabs also identified signings and we didnt get them, but VR has said himself that their will be changes in the summer, so lets be patient and see what happens, hopefully get 3rd, 4th would kinda do and go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a load of wingers we are. We lost one first team player, for the highest sum in the transfer window in Scotland, and the expected flood of a fire sale never took place. We got rid of Basso and Makela and some youngsters were released. Just because we never signed anyone, other than the excellent Balogh, it's toys out of the pram time. If we had signed Farkas, people would have claimed it was a panic buy, and exactly what forward were we desparate to have. Hopefully Glen can continue to progress, and Templeton can come through. If the worst comes to bear, we can give Elliot a try with a proper manager. McGowan can cover at the back and we still have Driver, Bruno and Karapidis in the squad, so I don't think it should be all doom and gloom. There is no point in taking loan signigs from the premiership, just because they are available. If they are/were that good, why are the clubs letting them go on loan and not playing them.

Sorry, not true. There's no an extra day in England. All they've agreed is that clubs can have more time to complete the formalities (i.e player putting pen to paper) but only when it was all already agreed by clubs and player in advance and all parties had emailed the FA saying such before the 5pm deadline.

Flood was deemed not good enough for the Premiership look how well he's done in Scotland. Stokes did well in Scotland as well, he's done nothing in the Premiership, because it's a far better league.

hearts_crazy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 On another positive note, bye bye to Ksanavicious, Basso and Makela, Jamie Mole is away for the rest of the season too. A fair bit off the wage bill and the Berra transfer fee will (hopefully) go to service the debt. I'm not disappointed we signed no-one of note (apart from the balogh, and canny wait for him to get back between the sticks). Not because i didn't think we could have done with a Striker and a replacement for Berra, but because I didn't expect us to bring anyone in anyway. We are in a financial crisis remember, Strikers cost money. In an ideal World we would have signed our super Striker and a top defender and there would be no problems, but this isn't an ideal World, so dry your eyes princess. Do I think we can still get third? Well of course we can, our defence has been weakened by Berra going, and that has to be addressed but we are almost exactly two thirds of the way through the season and 3rd equal just now. Absolutely NO reason to believe we can't keep in that particular mix. Remember too that our main rivals (IMO) for that third spot are also weakened by Willo Flood going to Celtic as their new bench warmer. As I said before, we were expecting to lose half our first team, we only lost Berra. It could have been a LOT worse. We missed the boat on a couple of players, but be honest, half of us on here would have only moaned about them being 'not SPL standard' or Kaunas rejects anyway so who cares.
