jambonian Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I get the feeling there's going to be quite a few changes in playing staff next season, we still need to get rid of fringe players, Mrowiec, Mikoliunas, Cesnauskis, (is Ksanavicius still there?). There's also rumours going about that Lee Wallace is wanted by Walter Smith, maybe it'll be a swap deal with Velicka coming back. There is a few players in the SPL that would be worth a look at, ADAM ROONEY, a young striker at Inverness is a player with potential, An attacking midfielder would be ANDY DORMAN at St Mirren, STEVE HAMMELL at Motherwell or CHARLIE MULGREW at Aberdeen if we lost Wallace, DARREN BARR, SCOTT ARFIELD at Falkirk, MEHDI TAOUIL at Kilmarnock, RICHARD OFFIONG at Hamilton, put a cheeky bid in for JAMES McCARTHY aswell maybe.. there's also a few decent players that should be within our wage bracket in the lower leagues in England, not to mention whose going to be available that's out of contract, PAUL HARTLEY maybe?

Groot Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Can't see us selling Wallace, if we wait appeox 18 months he'll be n internationalist with some Prem teams sniffing about. Rankers won't be able to afford him either and they'll probably be begging us to take Velicka off their hands Rooney has done next to feck all at ICT, Dorman is a maybe, Taouil has not been the same player this season as he was last so I'm unsure, don't like Hammel, would definately take Mulgrew as he can do a job in midfield too and would take Barr and Arfield but can't see us paying the necessary fees, Not sure about Offiong and wouldn't say no to McCarthey (think he'll end up in the Chmpionship though) or Hartley I would rather see more of the youngsters come through as a few of them have enough abiliy and potential to be better than most of those mentioned above at a fraction of the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocam2325 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Was at the Falkirk game yesterday. Tam Scobbie would be a decent player for us given time. Also have to say I was quite impressed by ICT's centre half, the one that scored against us recently. Black was quiet. Arfield is a good player too. That said, we'll spend no money on fees, anyone coming in will be under Bosman I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nonsense Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Nobody that will cost a transfer fee which means Bosman free transfers & loan signings with maybe option to buy No doubt that this is the route we will take. We should free up a decent amount of wages from those moving on in the summer and their will be plenty of good players within our range if we are quick to move. What worries me is our tendancy to drag things out in transfer dealings. If this continues, then we could face a summer of being linked with good players, only to see them move somewhere else.

I agree with you there, we always seem to miss out on good young players, remember before they were even linked to the "bigott brothers" we lost out on trying to sign people like Naismith, McDonald, Boyd and Robson, we should move a lot quicker than them and get players in, that's down to our useless scouting system IMO, surely if they're doing their job properly they would know about all potential targets and get things moving!

I'd much rather try and keep Wallace. I don't think we have the cash at the moment for Barr or Arfield and certainly not McCarthy. I think Hartley's wages would be too high. Taouil might be a more realistic bet if we got him fairly cheap. I hope Csaba has a bit more savvy in the transfer market than your aspirations.

monkfish1979 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Lee Wallace... swap deal... Velicka. Horrible, horrible idea. The huns won't be able to afford Wallace outright, and IMO they'll have to offer a hell of a lot better than Velicka, who's minus a whole year's worth of competitive football. If they propose such a deal, I really hope we'll leave Watty to contemplate his own crud/pointless signings with a resounding GTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their agents sends list out all the time to alert possible new clubs, that's how they make their money!!

He has shown he knows a player in getting Obua to come in and look interested(ie not like Larry),and I have not doubt he has a few more signing targets up his sleeves!! I understand that Hearts current wage bill exceed income by some 25% and next season the target is to reduce this to 50% of income. Now unless we can suddenly increase our turnover dramatically there is only one way to reduce the wage percentage to this level and that is by releasing all players who will be out of contract and bring in new one's on a lot less. That is not really as bad as it sounds when you consider the silly money some of these muppets were on in the past such as Beslija, Makela etc. That's why I think we will not keep Bruno and probably try to offload Kingston and perhaps even Driver but nobody is indispensable. As long as Csaba is still here and he can get a little money next season then I am really looking forward to next season to see what he can do.

Buffalo Bill Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I can't name the players we'll sign but I do hope we bring in two or three to counter the exodus that will undoubtedly happen. I'm looking forward to getting the wage bill down and the squad size cut.

Only a Game Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It's obvious we don't have the money for transfer fees but the one positive we have going into the summer this time is Shabba. Albeit he still needs to convince 1 man but I really hope that we have learned from the previous and most disappointing last 3/4 transfer windaes, they have been embarrassing to say the least. True, but Csaba has been the manager during at least part of the last two transfer windows and that hasnt made any difference to our shambolic approach. What bigger shambles was there than failing to fill in paperwork properly on the last day of the window (allegedly) We go though this process before every transfer window and its invariably an unmitigated and embarrassing let down. I notice that we are setting our sights quite a bit lower these days and hoping for some players who quite frankly, are not fit to wear maroon. The (unnamed) ICT centre half FFS !!! I'll be happy if we get a striker and a centre half and re-sign some of what we have already got.

He just signed a new deal at St Mirren.

amadjambo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Darren Barr at Falkirk is a very promising young defender. Paul Quinn a Motherwell has always impressed me. He can play full back or in midfield, good tackler, good pace, and good going forward. Scott Severin. Out of contract at end of season and a quality player. Paul Hartley. Still has a couple of seasons left in the legs yet and still has lots to offer. Others in the SPL I rate but might cost a bit are Conway (Utd), Clarkson (Motherwell) and Dorman (St Mirren).

We wont be spending anything like ?200k on anyone in my opinion. I think the lower English leagues are out of bounds too with the wages that they are still able to pay. Also the likes of Campbell Ogilvie might need to take a worst case scenario view regarding Setanta's future ( the only real source of extra cash up here ) and curtail any type of spending based on long term cash from them ? What we might see are players from Europe that Csaba may have sussed out, guys who are technically proficient ALREADY and who may fit our new leaner wage structure ? As regards selling - Driver and Wallace have big futures if they progress properly and they will be in the shop window at some point - but not yet ! Larry doesn't want to be here by the look of things and he may just have to be 'suffered' until he strikes a bit of form, gets himself noticed by other clubs, and we can then sell him and recoup his wages if nothing else !

bighusref Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Names are unimportant tbh. We need a right full back as I believe that Neilson will leave. We need at least one senior centre half, two would be preferable. Two would be necessary if Zaliukas leaves. We need a right sided midfielder as I suspect that Mikoliunas, Cesnauskis AND Kingston will leave. If we are to continue playing 4-5-1, we would need an attacking midfielder. We need at least one striker, two would be preferable. If Driver leaves we will need a left sided midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
