jamboinglasgow Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 According to todays Daily Mail (which I only read as I am xenophobic ), former Plymouth Argyle defender K?ri ?rnason has been invited by Hearts to go on trial in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Striker Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Only wikipedia I know, but a trial seems strange cosidering he appears to be tied up until next summer "?rnason signed a two-year contract extension in January 2010, after a string of consistent performances, to keep him at the club until the summer of 2012" Correction just saw this - it seems he had his contract ripped up over a wages issue My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 We need cover there as we can't rely on Eggert to constantly fill in when other players are injured. Seems to be his role unfortunately. He'll be having a few words with this guy. Will wait on our Icelandic fan with great instinct to hopefully turn up and give us the necessary info.

plastic_bas Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCCUPScU4us Cracking goal. Eggert only seems to score when he's playing centre half. Loves a good maraud forward that boy. I still maintain he could turn into a very good SPL centre back given a couple of years alongside Webster. I hope he gets the chance to prove it.

StrikersInstinct Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 This player is NOT SPL quality. Very poor player, slow, no technique... One of the worst players to play for Iceland in recent years, hence not been picked for quite some while. Poorer than Eggy who I really thoughy was dysmal in the U21 Euros. Eggy has been slated very much for his performances there, some say he should never have been picked as he is just not good enough for the team. Should never have been played at right back. Arnason is a clumsy, slow footballer. Headlines in Iceland today: Iceland or Hearts for Arnason. Shows how many clubs want him. Stay away Hearts.

Primavera Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 A number of the comments on the Plymouth thread implied that the clubs disasterous last 2 years have probably impacted him a lot and that he may well be a lot better at a new club (I'm going for the half full pint in case we sign him). The thread says he was sacked by email for not signing a waiver to not get paid this month - The guy hasnt been paid for 7 months already - dont think I'd work very hard if I didnt get paid for 7 months. At least he wont complain if his wages are 2 days late though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenor Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 We do NOT want someone like this! Unless we want to spend ?1million next season for poor discipline. The boy was given 12 cards last season at Plymouth - 2 of which were red. Our only player to get 2 reds last season was Ruben, and now we've got shot of him! The only player who managed 12 cards for us last season was Black... and he may never play again. So let's not replace these clumsy oafs with another!

Debut 4 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Maybe he is superior - but given what we've all talked about the last few days I'd be concerned that Jonsson Barr McGowan Prychynenko Mrowiec and even potentially Balatoni Can all fill these positions and are already on the wage bill? However I'd love to be proved wrong Jonsson was murder last season but im not writing him off, everyone can have a stinker and he proved he was decent in previous seasons. However, he has it to prve again. Barr was well out the picture but was injured. McGowan is a promising player but not quite proven yet but deserves more game time. Denis...still to kick a ball for the first team and to prove if he`s good enough. Mrowiec.....(big sigh) The point is, we continually hear from some on jkb.... "(insert youth player) should be in the first team , why are we signing more players?".... WE NEED a balance, WE NEED more quality to help bring these lads through. What do people want? a 4 man midfield of inexperienced young players thrown in the deepend week in week out? This isn`t a pop at you essex but your post sort of brought those thoughts back about other`s posts. Im all for Holt, Denis etc...being added to the squad if the manager deems them good enough to contribute and they have it in them to progress. But to not add experience and a bit quality to go in with them would be suicide. At the moment i still think we are a proven player short in midfield.

I understand what you are saying but what I mean is from what we have heard on here this guy is worse than jonsson, and if we have enough hopes for the guys I mentioned to be in the first team squad, we don't need to waste a wage on this guy? If this guy is only going to be a sub, we have enough of those, can't we use the wage elsewhere? Plymouth fans are saying he was on 4k a week, i don't want us spending that on another potential bouzid, or a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
