Denny Crane Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Eh............. Neither. But only because he wasn't one of the Mystery 5 in Lithuania over the weekend. It is just that you said: "Csaba's hopes of signing Scottish players are fading fast." I was pointing out that he has signed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bistokid Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Lee Miller has a SPL record of 148 apps 40 goals - 1 goal per 3.7 games. Not a bad record in comparison to what we have. But not exactly prolific. Nearly a 1 in 4 record. Is there someone out there who could better that and be affordable to Hearts. I'd say yes.

Charlie-Brown Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 With Jamie MacDonald, Mark Ridgers, Jason & Craig Thomson, Johnny Brown, Johnny Stewart, Stephen Husband, David Templeton, Gary Glen, Ryan Wallace & Jamie Walker etc there's plenty potential for more young Scottish players to break into the first team & squad over the coming season & next couple of years.

Jamboy81 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hopefully some of these boys will turn to be decent. No Lith Fest either as of yet which is always encouraging, I just wish we'd sign a striker.

DG_HMFC Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Im pleasantly surprised by this signing. He definately has a good pedigree, and has been with some top clubs; and i don't care how many games he's played in the past season. He's a Hearts player now and im sure he's going to play many games in a successful season (Hopefully) Well done to Vlad and Csaba for getting these players in the door early as it gives the team plenty time to gel.

Victorian Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 looks to be a very good signing and one out of the blue, just like the kucharski signing. we are starting to get that ultra united nations look about us again and i just hope that past difficulties are not revisited in terms of the collective squad being... well not quite as collective as you would like.

Ryan Gosling Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Miller would the superb.

To be fair we've been looking for over 2 years! Pretty much since Velicka left, and no sign that they're going to get it right or are even looking at the right type of player, the best they could come up with was Tullberg ffs. Personally i'd have taken Higdon, better than anything we have and a decent SPL goalscorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened at Gers a while back with all the Dutch players. Advocat built a really good side there, but even then they still managed to fall out as soon as things got a bit tougher (ie MON arriving at Celtic). At least there's little chance of an Algerian clique anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie, I think you can add the McGowans in there too. OK, they were both born in OZ, but to Scottish immigrant parents. So, if they're anything like my laddie, they think of themselves as Australian but 'culturally' Scottish. In other words, 'Scotland is hame away fae hame'.

Paolo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I think this could be a decent signing for us, let's have a striker next, and for me, he does not need to be Scottish, jsut decent - even half decent will be better than what we have got. I also think it is good we are signing players no-one has mentioned and do not appear to be signing the ones we have been linked with - it shows the press do not really know what is going on and increased my confusion on why people on here say Vlad has lied to them if we have not signed a player a newspaper, or a Kickback poster with supposed information, has linked us with.

wavydavy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Agreed. There are worse defenders than Barr but apart from being on the small side he is not anything special anyway. That said, I have not seen this guy and might wish we had signed Barr but he does seem to have a decent pedigree. I wondered if Csaba might have thought about playing Barr in the defensive midfield role that he had Karapidis playing in rather than an out and out Centre Back. But it would appear that the natter is now closed and we will not be signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Rocco is from Italian origin; but he and the McGowans all played for the same club - Para Hills - roughly about the same standard as the Scottish 2nd Division. The Adelaide suburb of Para Hills is very much a Scottish/English enclave and that's reflected in their playing style - a 'flexible' 4-4-2 with the emphasis on attack and ball possession. A sort of hybrid British/Continental style is the best way I can put it. That style of play could also be applied to Australian football in general. Given Csaba's similar approach, the OZ kids would adapt to it very quickly, climate apart! All three, I'm informed from my sources, were sponsored by Para Hills SC to play in Scotland, therefore costing zilch to Hearts. http://www.parahillssc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who we can perhaps get a million or two for in the future. Whilst I agree on paper he looks a sound purchase, since when do we buy sign someone to sell on? FFS lets just get somke solid players who do the jersey proud and concentrate more on the football and less on the accounts. I for one enjoy watching the football; i don't give a toss about the finances, (albeit understand the need to sell to balance the books). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I might be wrong in saying this but if drinking or eating is seen as lifesaving i.e. not to dehydrate, then you can during Ramadam - but only if its sole purpose is to keep you from passing away during the daylight Aye, that's bang on mate. But I doubt playing football is an esseential act in the eyes of the qur'an! That's more saved for the likes of doctors who have to work during daylight and must be on their toes, or pregnant ladies, stuff like that. Anyway - he may well be athiest! Let's hope so! As for debating the new signings. I'm more than happy with them only because they seem to all intents, to have been targets which have come good. Hopefully that means they are players. We'll wait and see I suppose. All we (you, actually, as i'm abroad these days, unfortunately from a supporting points of view) can do is get right behind them and give them a good Tynie welcome and remain behind them even if they eff up a couple of times.
