Socrates Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What I don't get is how we rip into Hibs for signing players we have never heard of but as soon as we do it is like "oh, lets give the lad a chance" Now I am all for giving him a chance but it just goes to show how man twats are on Kickback. So, tell us, which should we stop doing - slagging off Hibs for signing ctap players, or giving new Hearts players a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 To simplify this:- If he is any good...fantastic If he's crap ..shame and back to whence he came. Anyone really believe that JJ will be "told to play him"..only those with a currently unfulfilled hate for Vlad Anyone believe that we could have afforded anyone who would have guaranteed league success...surely not, remember Celtic and Keane. So, if the guy is of short or long time assistance while we have injuries fantastic! What a sensible post. I still say we should burn him though (Webster too, if you want).

Homme Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 For what it is worth i was told by a friend and first team player before the Hibs game player that Kyle was going to be out for 3 weeks. It has now been 4, Hamilton will be 5.5 weeks roughly. He should be back by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnoem Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Too much of speculation in here, the STV article is also in that category Razulis has been considered very promising at early age and moved to Krylya Sovetov Samara in Russia at 16. He played there mostly for the reserves but had several tough injuries and the club often had financial problems, even unable to pay for medical care. After returning from Russia he looked bereft of confidence and failed to impress. Eventually Razulis signed for Vlad and moved beetween his owned teams - ?ilut?, MTZ-Ripo (now Partizan), Kaunas. In Lithuania he scored a lot but that was in third or second division where Kaunas and ?ilut? played. In that sense it might have been good to get the belief back but he's still unproven in Lithuania. As for Skonto, he was only on trial there (meaning the suggestions of problems with the FIFA rule are ludicrous) and did well but apparently did not agree terms. In terms of position he is definitely not a midfielder. He is a striker but a bit different type of target man than Kyle, not as big. I highly doubt he'll make a immediate impact at Hearts, but Hearts might be a good motivation for him at this age, so in a year or two who knows.

Cheers, Magnoem, he sounds potentially no worse a reserve option than Glen or Obua at this stage. The bit in bold is nuts, and I didn't even know MTZ-Ripo had changed their name.

robbodog Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If he is going to need a year or two before we see any return from him, he is in trouble. The thousands of SAFs in the stands will have him hounded after a couple of misplaced passes. God help him should he miss what is considered a sitter.

Paolo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sorry about that. Just thought the link to Webster a bit of a stretch. No prob. Maybe it was. Guess I was trying to say that JJ agreeing to look at him rather than a straight no, which I think is the right thing to do, would have the added advantage of keeping Vlad sweet even if JJ would gave agreed to it anyway.

kennyblack'sshot Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We have a link up with a club in Eastern Europe that means we can try new players for very little cost and with no risk. Why is it so hard for people to accept that reality! And what exactly is wrong with it? If you go through all the many players signed by Hibs recently for example, or both of the Old Firm, and do a list of successes and failures and tot up what the total cost was, I'd say we have a higher success rate of unearthing talent for reasonable prices than both the OF and are about comparible with Hibs - with our successes being much better than theirs and our failures not actually being that bad.

Thunderstruck Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I still recall the Kickback "experts" who had Velicka destined for the bin until that fateful day at the San Giro. The same "experts" who were able to note that Beniusis was a huddy after 45 minutes of the first game of the season. Mind you, when a certain Gary MacKay can come out with "Gary Glen certainly knows how to sniff out a goal" (in tonight's commentary) they are maybe in good company.

It took most of us 5 mins - he was ganting. This new guy might be good....he might not be......but its amusing to see the usual mob squirming to be positive about a signing from the Lithuanian Second Division. However, I will give him a chance because I am numb to this pesh now so good luck to him and may he prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
