davemclaren Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 At least Now I am split on this -- a bit like meeting your first love -- you remember the passion, the good times, the unbelievable way it made you feel............ but then you remember you are 4/5 years older, a bit wiser and the reasons why it didn't work and suddenly you think it should stay as a great memory. BUT.... god it was good and for a few months he contributed to some of the best football I have watched from a Hearts team, you went to a game knowing they would entertain you and he made you feel he cared for the fans showing such emotion that I defy anyone to state they did not love him (as aplayer!!) during that early period -- a bit of me wants to think it can happen again but somehow you know it won't. It was the best of times and it's hard to see him being as good...but sometimes you have to chase your dreams or what is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley_ Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It would have interesting to see Hartley and Skacel back this season. I'm sure it wouldn't have worked as well as last time but I still think they could have made a positive contribution (and we are certainly lacking in older players).

We also know that JJ was in Kaunas with Vlad last week. As for the 'lazy' tag? Well, we already have plenty of triers - we can always use players with ability - I think Skacel has ability.

Arthur Morgan Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 What a missed opportunity that would have been though eh? If we end up signing Skacel but missed out on Hartley (Vlad's fault imo). Both of them back would have been brilliant, not as good as 1st time but better having them both rather than 1 Would have added valuable experience to the team and would have got a buzz back around the stadium.

jamboinglasgow Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Get him in at Attacking Midfield. agreed, he may of lost a bit of pace (dont know but probably a safe bet) but I am sure he can still push through the midfield and still has his technique and cracking ability to take a great shot. Then again I need to be cautious, the returning player and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 He is in talks with us? If he's only half the player he was 5 years ago, I don't care, he'll still do well here. The SPL was of a pretty good standard 5 years ago and he had no problem. It's dire now so he'll have a field day IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 At least he won't have to sign a piece of paper distancing himself from the Riccarton Three fiasco I had no idea he was in talks, and didn't for a second think he would even consider coming back here with Vlad in charge, but from what he's saying it appears he would be happy to return. That being the case, get him signed. He would be a great option as an attacking midfielder. If he signs for Aberdeen I think I might kill myself.

Fat Striker Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Well I honestly didn't think this rumour had any substance to it so I'm shocked that it's been confirmed. I wish he had kept his mouth shut though, I don't think Vlad approves of players blabbing to the press (and trying to force his hand) especially when he refused to name the other two clubs interested in him. I take it he is still with the girl from East Lothian? If so, I can see why we would be his number one choice. His demands will have to be realistic and I imagine negociations will be more difficult for him this time around. Still don't think it'll happen though (I'm still smarting from Hartely-gate). I would be livid if he joins another SPL side (especially Aberdeen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkin- hearts Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 As with Paul Hartley i'd have no qualms about bringing him in on a short term contract, after all as someone rightly pointed out, the standard of football now being played in the SPL is at least one level lower than the last time he played for us so his ability would get him by even if he has lost a yard of pace since 2006.

plastic_bas Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Rudi says: "**** the Hibs!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOiuwfMDDIA As a side note it still amazes me the Simmons was still around the Hearts set up at this time. Even scoring against those diddies! If you'd asked me before watching that I would have said he left a year or two before that season. Oh and I'd love to see Rudi in attacking midfield.

adayinmay Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Here we go again. I was so pleased that the transfer window closed so that these hopes and dreams weren't plssed on by VR at the last minute. Whether Skacel is to old, doesn't play in the right position, too lazy etc etc is irrelevant. He has ability and would benefit the club in so many ways its a no brainer that we should get him in. The thing is we won't. VR will pull out on this one (as he always intends doing) at the last moment. I can see Rudi going to Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Can someone who is following this thread bring me up to speed please. Cant seem to find what I am looking for. Is this just another rumour based on someone seeing him in Edinburgh or Is there a bit more substance to it, has a paper/club source etc etc linked us with him. Re his current situation. Is he signed to anyone or a free agent. I am sure some or all the answers are in the thread somewhere but havent the time to search so please excuse me. How old is he now 30ish? First time around great but in a good team but very very lazy. Really hasnt done much since but I feel he is a confidence player and if the homework is done properly maybe just maybe could give this club and himself a boost. I dont believe he has been in the form or felt the "LOVE" he had at Tynecastle so could work. Obviously things were lets say Fraught between him and our regime when he left but part of me thinks he worked his ticket out too. Again one for JJ to assess presuming its nothing more than " I saw Rudi in Tesco so must be coming back" type of thread. Interesting though very thought provoking.

blairdin Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It would also surely fly in the face of the club's policy on developing its own players? Seems unlikely. You could make the same argument about Kyle. And also, despite the falling out, Rudi did previously net us a transfger fee of ?1.6m following his first stint here - could the fact he has already earned the club a decent return at the end of his first spell persuade the owner if his current wage demands now are realistic and within our new structure? Just putting it out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
