The Old Tolbooth 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. I assume we no longer have an interest in Darren Barr if that part of the defence is now closed?? Also do we still require a right back?? I really hope the part highlighted is true mate, I mean look at Bouzid's CV compared to Barr's? Barr - Played for Falkirk from 1994, went on loan to Forfar and then came back again, played for Scotland B and 1 cap for Scotlands full side (whoopee doo), and they want over half a million for him Bouzid - Played for Metz, Union Berlin, MC Algiers, Kaiserslauten, Galatasaray, Troyes and Ankarag?c?, and comes free, it's a no brainer really. Bouzid has some impressive clubs in his locker, however Csaba has broken with tradition and signed a player who is a tad old for him, he's 25!

Charlie-Brown Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 How touching of those Hobo trumpets to be concerned about the apparent lack of recent first team games by some of our new signings ..... maybe these *******s should be more concerned that their own teams signings & targets include goalie Mark Brown who's played a grand total of 13 games for Celtic between 2007-2009 and young Danny Galbraith who hasn't yet played a first team game for anyone anywhere EVER .....

Teuchterjambo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I can't see Zaliukas dropping out at the back, so maybe Bouzid or Kucharski have been earmarked for the Karipidis role? Well he won't be around for a good while at the start of the season and hopefully in his absence these other guys will perform well and form a good central defensive partnership. That would relegate Zaliukas to squad player which would make me very happy - cannot get my head round the people on here who reckon he is the business. Liability in terms of discipline and erratic in terms of performance but sun shines out of his anus to some on here - if he is an automatic first choice then we are not the standard we need or hope to be. BTW - Don't buy all this Zal captain talk from Csaba, I reckon he is just throwing names in and keeping his options open till he gets his full squad in place then he'll make his choice.

hawaii Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 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.

Le Chat Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 They were talking about spending some cash on Barr so hopefully, Csaba will have the bucks to get in some strikers. I'd still like us to sign Lee Miller. WILD stab in the dark here, but with Miller currently on trial at court for wreckless driving things have been very quiet on that front. Nothing would be likely to be announced until after the trial is finished. Not saying I know anything (cos I don't), just saying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well you say that and I'm not sure I can disagreeBUT the players we fans would most like to see the back of are Zali Kingston Nade and guess what they've all been injured for our German games. Is this co-incidence or what? I dont think so Fedotovas has spoken of offers being on the table for some players and it would surprise me if each of those werent in that group - in addition to Driver. Maybe wishful thinking but I dont think its coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley_ Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anyone know how long these new players are signed up for?

Jammy T Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Again - a considered and targetted signing. Very pleased. Interesting that if you take the general consensus that you should have 2 players per position in your squad, Csaba has quoted the 5 guys he considers are vying for the 2 positions. Its reading between the lines, so subject to abuse, but it does suggest we might be selling, or looking to sell, one of Jose or Zaliukas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that - One of those 2 will go. I suspect they'll be trying to get rid of Jose due to his probably high salary and I get the impression Zal doesn't really want to be here. It wouldn't bother me if both left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its reading between the lines, so subject to abuse, but it does suggest we might be selling, or looking to sell, one of Jose or Zaliukas. Given the high level of their wages then it wouldn't surprise me if Hearts tried to get loan-deal or buyers if possible for the likes of Kingston, Nade & Goncalves. I think Zaliukas after his 3 game suspension will be a mainstay in defence beside Bouzid with Kucharski possibly (based on Csaba's comments) being used in a defensive midfield role similar to where Karipidis played for much of last season.....we do like our defenders in midfield afterall..... Another thing is with international matches, CIS cup games and at least 2 but possibly 10 Europa league games to be played prior to Christmas then some of our players could be playing midweek & weekend fixtures almost every week for the best part of 3-4 months if we make it into the Europa groups, so with that in mind having a slighty bigger squad in terms of numbers would be required to cope with injury, suspension and resting players .... we might also see some squad rotation being necessary if the demands on some players (especially those involved with international squads) gets too heavy.

Mentioning Darren Barr to the Press and they believed that a bid was iminent and he pulls the Algerian CH out of a hat. Who knows who else (if anyone) may be signed shortly after mentioning Lee Miller, but I doubt it will be Lee Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I think its valid to look at appearances and question why they might be low. Is he injury prone? Is he not good enough to be first choice for a good squad? Is he not good enough to be first choice for a bad squad? This isnt being negative, just inquisitive He sounds like a decent signing, but for us to get an international player more likely than not 1. it isnt going to be a big international team, and 2. he is unlikely to be first choice for a team like Galatasary (for example) As Dr Bap mentioned though - what are his wages likely to be? I think we do need to take some gambles on signings to get them to Hearts - but we now need to ensure we are on manageable weekly wages, and not taking Pinilla style gambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane 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!
