Charlie-Brown Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Suso takes the ball into the opposition box and forces the defenders to either double-up, take him down, or let him thread a pass or hit a shot. If we have the players drilled to capitalise on that then we have a potential goal, penalty or corner. If Taouil can do the same then we have two players in the squad who offer a real threat to the opposition IMO. Despite getting a wee bit of a hard time recently, Driver did the same at the tail end of last season too. Driver however has a potential advantage over both Santana and Mehdi because he has real pace when fit and firing on all cylinders. Driver in his pomp was killing sides with his pace. The Driver we saw at the end of last season was not fit enough to break for goal with pace alone on the break but adapted his game to work his way past defenders out wide in the corners and either take it in to the box or cross for a striker, unfortunately we were light on out and out strikers at this point and so often this came to nowt. I think we really need a squad that can handle the very different expectations of Europa, SPL and Cup campaigns. A decent prolonged run in one competition would be a start nevermind all 3-4 tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audrey65 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Can't say that I'm overwhelmed with the prospect of Taouil signing for us, tbh - decent player, but I had hoped for better. I think he'll be a good signing. Bring a bit of creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 God Charlie, I would love that! We do need to consider Europe however surely? For me that means Skacel for his ability is a must. The cups are extra curricular games that require strength in depth to still be strong playing games every three days or so for periods of the season. The SPL needs the aquad we have with some tweeking and obviously the players we have brought in being successfull. We have a very tough season ahead of us just to match our last campaig. To improve on what we managed last time around will require strengthening on what we had. For me personally, I want to make a fist of the competitions we will be participating in next season and at the same time do better in the league and cups. I think that we should always try and progress in Europe every time we find ourselves in a position to have a bash at it, the rewards are great and I do not just want two qualifiers and then bust. The extra pressure on us fixture wise is a big hit to our resources and as such can effect our league and domestic cup form... If that hindrance to our bread and butter is all for the sake of two to four games against a couple of non-Scottish sides and we do not even try and progress then aye... Fair enough, state that as the crux of our ambitions and just build a squad that is capable of doing well again in the SPL. I think we NEED to re-sign Rudi for Europe, need to bring in a couple more SPL standard players and make sure every position on the park is covered with perhaps also another experienced and creative player coming in. Tjats just all IMO however because I want us to try and progress to a lucrative position in all four competitions... As much as I like Wallace, I think his sale is maybe key to us having a squad capable of actually giving a good account of ourselves in all four.

Only a Game Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think we NEED to re-sign Rudi for Europe, Rudi is ALREADY signed up for Europe. He has a one year deal which expires on 15th September. I'd imagine we'll be out of Europe by then. Perhaps this has something to do with us not taking up the option yet ? There is a possibility that we could take this right into very late August and release him just before the end of the window so he can find another club.

Drylaw Hearts Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't think Rudi's contract will end 2 weeks after the TF closes - that could leave him in limbo 3.1/2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a possibility that we could take this right into very late August and release him just before the end of the window so he can find another club. If we have an option on him, makes sense to exercise it as late as possible. He could break his leg in pre-season, and be out for months... Obviously, certainty benefits everyone, but costs/risks also need to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I want us to reach the group stages of the Europa league while emulating last season's league position. I also want us to be serious contenders in one of the two domestic cups. For my wonts to happen we will need to re-sign Rudi, sell one player for 1m and us sign Taouil, Diamond, Gomis (or similar) and not lose Kello imo.

I reckon it will expire August 31st so that he would be out of contract when the window closes. Cant see it being much earlier than that. Havent seen it said anywhere official or unofficial, thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 If Rudi becomes available during next season for nowt and we have not tied him to Hearts... I see Rangers or Celtis seeing the benefit of having him available as a squad member on comparatively low wages and no transfer fee! What would be the risk for one of them signing him on such comparatively low wages and his proven return at an SPL level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Rudi will play a big part in Hearts' next season, I hope to **** it is for his goals and ability in our heavy schedule, rather than as the guy we needed in a game where we do not have someone of his ability or as a cheap option for the OF who rarely starts but is there to unlock our defence in a game where Kyle, Sutton, Temps, Elliott and Driver have completely run out of ideas in Europe or even domestically and we have no real quality to turn to when our squad has done their best but just lacks that wee bit of quality to take us over the line.

Kiwidoug Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Based on the endorsement of so many Jambos, I want top this guy Gomis signed up. If he is expensive, isn't there a benefactor out there to help out Vlad? What about that JK Rowling wifie? Is she a Jambo? Someone (a hero) fronted Robbo's wages for a couple of years when he came back from Newcastle. Can't someone else do the same for Gomis and chuck in Rooney for good measure. JK would never miss it.
