He's always impressed me as well. That's what is so frustrating when you look at our inflated wage bill. There are bargins out there if we have the right scouts/manager tasked with finding them.

Boab Mugabe Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Who I'd like to sign is Andy Dorman. He hasn't been in the SPL long but every game I've seen him in he's been making well-timed late runs into the box and scoring. Something none of our midfield even attempt to do. However, good players at Tynecastle are not what the management want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfstar Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 If we had a manager with full control, then players like gow/flood/hunt could be hearts players for little ???. We could build a great team within our current budget. Instead we pay over the odds for below average players, and dont have a manager to get the best out of our average players. The result being 7th in the league struggling to beat teams with a wage structure minor compared to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 IMO Gomez is a better player for them. Think Levein picked him up from Cowdenbeath? Wasn't sure where he had got him from (i.e Gomis) but I agree with your comments, looks like a super player. I had an idea it was a lower league club he had come from right enough because I heard his name mentioned in a conversation somewhere involving the young laddie that scored for them on Saturday (Swanson) that they picked up from Berwick Rangers, and somebody said they had got Gomez from the same place (assume they meant same league rather than specific club).

Charlie-Brown Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Flood would be a player with future profit potential - ?200K might not be such a problem if certain players could be moved on or sold for a decent profit. What is his precise position though? Who do we currently have that plays his position? I've seen Flood play a couple of times and he looks a tidy player but where exactly does he play? David Robertson of Dundee Utd is also a good player / late breaking midfielder who gets into the box in a similar way to Cameron & Hartley did - was top scorer in the youth leagues a couple of seasons ago despite being a midfielder.

Regular John Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Don't think Flood is anything special, he's made to look good in a decent midfield where Kerr and Gomis are superior. He's better than Michael Stewart for sure, but who isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Only seen this guy maybe 3 times but he has impressed. Seen the first half against the Hobnobs a wee while ago at Tannadice(1-1 I think) and he was superb, And also in the cup final a couple of weeks back. Dunno if that's an area of the park which is an immediate concern to us however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that's an area of the park which is an immediate concern to us however. I'm not so sure. I think we have been really struggling in the middle of the park recently especially in terms of creativity. Our strikers get a hard time (and rightly so in most cases) but too often they are not getting much to work with. With the exception of Kingston we don't really have anyone who can provide that bit of spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 At the end of the day we are looking to strengthen for next season and with that being the case then we need to look at all areas of the pitch! Personally I know nothing of Flood however Robson would be a good buy imo. It's going to be a really interesting summer, as at the end of the day players still won't want to come if they think Vlad is pulling the strings. With that being the case the first signing has to be a manager with a proven background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Kingston we don't really have anyone who can provide that bit of spark. Of course we could improve in all areas of the pitch, Every position can be improved upon. However we have Kingston, Ruben, Jonsson, Stewart, Screpis, Aguair and by the end of the season hopefully a couple of youngsters pushing for a place in central midfield. I said an immediate concern and i'll stick by that. Areas such as the goalkeeping, Full back, Right and left midfield and of course the striking positions should all be looked at before we bring in any more central midfielders imo.

(If the boy Flood even plays centre mid, I'm just guessing. ) Agree totally TBTR (Johnny Fingers, really, not comfortable with it, sounds like a poof fae Leith Walk), the one place I feel OK with the personnel we have is the middle of the park. It is not playing as a workmanlike unit, but that is easily fixable under the correct guidance and leadership. Keeper, full backs, wide men and strikers are priorities with regard to finding replacements. Bit worried about the thoughts of some that we cannot even afford ?200K for a player, the only alternative is then to bring in another batch of fecking drivel from Kaunas, which is about as appetising a thought as munching on a sweaty sock.
