Mr Sifter Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 They're coming from the "he's only played X amount of games in X amount of years" stance to try and discredit it......hmmmm exactly the same as our friend in Drylaw.

Snake Plissken Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Interesting signing. It's good we've sorted out the defence early in pre season so they can get some games together and develop a partnership at the back. Like everyone else I await a couple of strikers and that should see us good to go for next season - I think Elliot's going to come good and hopefully Glen will kick on next season so we just need to bring in a couple of strikers to and we'll have good strength in depth.

John Findlay Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Weedgie press will be boaking. They did their best to intimate that Csaba's talks with Romanov would go pear shaped. They then had him linked with a couple of jobs down in England that have once again come to hee haw and now they have no idea who we are signing. Chick Dung will really be peed off as he cannae gie us his breaking news from Tynecastle scenario with BBC Radio Scotland understands. Keep it up Hearts I have no problem with the club announcing signings via the website after the player has signed. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just a note of caution here, folks. Galatasaray and Kaiserslautern might be well known European names - but he only played 10 games in Gala's title winning year, Troyes were in Ligue 2 last season, and Kaiserslautern in the German 2nd Division in his year there in 06/7. His last club, where we signed him from, struggled in the Turkish top flight - and you have to wonder about a player who's moved from club to club every single year. That makes him a gamble - but at our level, all signings are. That he has pedigree and is an international is great; and I'm sure our manager will get the best out of him. Sorry if this post sounds downbeat: just thought it was worth looking at his background, before expectation gets too high! Welcome to Tynecastle, Isma?l!

Signs for Newcastle for ?15M and not long after was out injured for 18months. John Oh, absolutely! You might argue that the biggest clubs can afford those gambles (eg. Man Utd and Owen) whereas others can't, but I certainly take your point. Purely going on pedigree and background, incidentally, the signing I'm most encouraged by so far is Kucharski. Lech Poznan are a good, steadily improving club, and he was a mainstay there as well as being a former captain of Poland U21s. And if signings like Bouzid and Kucharski give us a bit more calm and composure, a bit more cultural capital, if you like, that must bode well for our prospects in Europe too.

ToYouToMe Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Listening to his interviews he comes across very well, seems mature for his age and professional. Would rather have a guy with this type of european experience to be honest than any of the defenders in Scotland we could afford. I think this guy will be a good signing. Nice one Vlad/Csaba!

adam1998 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The part of the article on the official site i liked is the quote from Csaba himself. Manager Csaba Laszlo was delighted to secure one of his top summer targets,having tracked the centre-half for some time. "He is a good experienced player that can help us," he said.

Welcome to Tynecastle, Isma?l! shaun the wages rumoured to be available and the standard of the SPL means every player we sign is going to be a gamble and come with some sort of littered history. We can't afford to sign finished articles or model professional international players. This guy is an international who has played at some decent clubs. IMO he is the best we can hope for. He may turn out to be pish but I think he is a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Certainly more exciting than Barr in my opinion. Have to say though I am surprised at the number of people now stating they are happy Barr is not coming when everybody on the BArr thread seemedd to think he was the dogs bollox, except this slavering hobo erse apparently :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The signings we've made bear similarities to other players who have arrived in recent years, done well, and, subsequently, left, so they should be sufficient to see us secure third again. I think, however, it is safe to presume, given the pattern of signings this summer, that we will not be signing Lee Miller or anyone else currently plying their trade in the SPL.

We_are_the_Hearts Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well done Hearts. Csaba said we needed 2 Centre Halfs, a right midfielder, a central midfielder and 2 strikers. That's Kuvarschi, Bouzid, Suso and Black in place, very happy with they 4 signings.......................................just need the Strikers now:2thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7628mm Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Agreed, I'm wondering why he only stays at a club for one year before moving on! Could be any number of reasons one of which being that he was always second fiddle to the established centre backs at each club. This is of course pure conjecture on my part. I think at 25 he may be ready to take command of a teams defence rather than take instructions from another defender. Enough speculation though. I like the look of the signings we have made so far and hope that they all improve our clubs performances in the coming season over last.

TheBigO Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 will this guy probably be a muslim.only ask cos hibs always seemed to lose benji and zemmama around the time of ramadan(sp)or i could be wrong. Being Algerian probably 90% chance he is. Ramadan runs from 20th August till around 20th September this year. Thing is he can still play, it's just feckin difficult cos he cant eat or drink (or ride!) during daylight hours which obv isn't condusive to pro sport. Bigger worry would be the African Nations cup which i think is in Jan or Feb. Not being negative though. Well done Hearts and welcome Izzy Boo!

Bootboy100 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 On paper I am delighted with that signing. Excellent pedigree and played for some decent clubs.

Drylaw Hearts Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Throw yourself off a bridge, go on. End the pain you're clearly going through. How rude. I was merely pointing out how little they had played recently. I wasn't aware that would put me on suicide watch. Then these boys will be desperate to play. What would make you happy Drylaw, id like to know? Who said I wasn't happy ? If you had enough brains and concentrated on the posts and NOT the posters you would have noticed an earlier post from me saying the lad had a decent pedigree. 22 games last season, and 10 for a club the size of Galatasaray the year before? Doesn't sound too bad to me. According to Wiki : 16 matches for Ankarag?c? last Season 7 for Troyes the Season in 2007/08 10 for Galatasary in 2006/07 He's averaged 11 matches per season over the last 3 Season and thats not a lot.

I would like to see us sign a decent R/L back that can play both sides so we did not need to use Obua there if wallace is ever out......Im happy enough with Johnsson and Thompson on the right as I think Shabba will cement it into them whats needed to play there.....Just not sure If Obua could cover for Wallace.
