Sydney Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just been on the blower to Vlad. Svetlana was a bit pissed off with me calling to spraff with the Big Man about football at this time of night, but he was delighted to talk to me. Great fellow - his English is really good. He also finds it funny when he pretends to not understand. Says he takes lessons from James Murdoch in pretending to not know or understand simple questions. Anyway, I told him that we should reinvest the 1.5 million into the team by getting a couple of decent players - specifically at centre back and attacking midfield. he told me I was talking pish and that he's already got two of the best centre backs in Scotland (both full internationalists too) and that he has Skacel, Taouil, Templeton, Elliott and Driver and Stevenson who can play attacking midfield. he also told me that with the club's woeful financial position, we still need to reduce the debt to be able to meet the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules, and also his investment bank expects a 15% return on their investment in Hearts and only a juvenile with no understanding of anything would expect this money to be spent on players. After that he told me what he really thought of Gary Mackay, George Burley, the SFA and the SPL and we both had a great laugh. Then Svets started giving him grief again, and he said he had to be off. Thought I'd let you know. Because I'm ITK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm jut looking in Scotland as my knowledge outwith isn't great tbh It's difficult cos the ones I may have gone for have already been snapped up - Bryson, Gomis, Prince, Rooney, Flynn, Nish. I'd maybe be a wee bit cheeky and see what Rangers thought of the laddy Ness. He looks the business, but I wonder how well he's rated through there? He was in and out the team but that could be due to his age and/or injury. If he was for sale for around the 0.5M mark, I'd go in for that. I like Murray Davidson, but he isn't the type of midfielder we need imo. We need someone to sit in and he's more of a forward runner, I think I'm right in thinking. I like Dougie Imrie at Hamilton - always have. Wanted us to sign him along with Blackie. He seems to play wide more than in the middle though. Always been surprised a bigger team (a DUtd, Motherwell, Hibs) haven't given him a chance. COuld he step up? Steven Saunders at Motherwell can play RB or CH. This would give us cover at CH, but I'd play him as our regular RB with Hammil in midfield. Two positions covered! Hammil has played a number of times at LB in his career so can be our LB cover too. For a forward, I'm thinking Johnny Russel at United. I've liked what I've seen of him and he's young. Be a gamble. Blackman at Aberdeen/Blackburn could be a shout too. I think more proven - scored goals at 2 teams reasonably well, though on checking, only 2 at Aberdeen. So, I've Deliberated, Cogitated and Digested: My three(ish).... Ness, ?0.75M: Rejected, doesn't want to come to us, but it showed ambition. So I move on to my real three... Steven Saunders, ?0.5M: Our regular RB, covering CH with Hammil our regular CM and covering either FB if and when. Nick Blackman, ?0.5M: Pacey and direct forward to compliment Kyle, Sutton. Different option to Elliott who is maybe a bit more of a wee terrier type. Murray Davidson, ?0.5M: If we have Hammil sitting in midfield, Davidson can do the box-to-box. He has more experience than Robinson and Holt. I'd give him a 4 year deal, sell him for profit after two when our young lads are ready. Have i taken this too seriously?

RussAsia Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 We would need to look at players in Scotland as they are the only ones who would be happy with the wages we offer. Either that or someone from the Scandinavian or lower European leagues. Hungary for example. We need a new left back, possibly a right back (depending on where Hammil is going to play) and an attacking central midfielder.. I'd take the Motherwell full backs, Saunders and Stephen Hammill Not sure who i would like for attacking midfielder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMc Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I had a quick scout around the other SPL squad lists. The rest of the league looks much weaker at the moment.

jambo19 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Barry Douglas - Dundee utd. Good young left back, would offer competition with grainger for left back or good cover for injuries/suspensions. Steven Saunders - Motherwell. Can play him centre half or right back so good back up and still young I think.

Bert Le Clos Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Gary Kenneth is pish. I'd rather start Webster, Zal, Jonsson, McGowan, Mrowiec at centre half than him. And Craig Levein selecting him for Scotland should not be used to counter this argument. Callum Booth actually looks decent, but I refuse to accept and Hibs players are good enough to make the step up to Hearts. Let him move to a bigger club (St Mirren, St Johnstone etc.) then if he's still good enough at that level we'll consider him Fraser Fyvie is another great prospect but he's been injured pretty much all of last season. Scott Robertson or Murray Davidson would both be good signings but I think Utd would want to much for Robertson. For all their apparent financial woes they've held out on Goodwillie and would want decent money for Robertson. It's been said before but Kevin McDonald could be a great signing. As for left back I've always liked the look of the lad Kovacevic at Dundee Utd. Good in the air but also decent with the ball at his feet. He's 6ft 4in so could no doubt cover at centre half as well. Looking at centre mids which should be our priority, Dave Jones has been released by Wolves. He'd be a great signing for us but is probably out of our wage budget. Darren Carter's contract at Preston has expired, I was always impressed with him at West Brom and he'd probably not want as much money. Looking at younger players Isaiah Osbourne has been released by Aston Villa but is currently on trial at Leeds. These are the type of players we should be looking at IMO.

JamboAberdeen Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Paying fee for players is luxury option only available for big clubs at post-Bosman era, and we are not one of them. Our board already indicated their intent this season, not challenging OF, while other teams have been significantly weakened. So I'm happy with what we have now to retain the third, with youngsters filling shortfall, and the money we god from Wallace to be spent on debt clearance.

Johanes de Silentio Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think Ricky Foster is a decent shout, but I can't see us paying any significant fee for anyone - more likey to look at out-of-contract players, if at all.

Marvin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well I'd play for free and as I have a dodgy leg I am sure I could be signed. I am guaranteed to be injured by the first training session at Riccarton after signing a lucrative commercial only contract with the team. But promise to stick by the club even though I may spend the season on the physios table. So over all with the same issues as Webster and Driver (ie not fit) I could save the club thousands.

amadjambo Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'd try and get Fleck and Broadfoot from Rangers. 1 is a young player with potential and the other in a solid no nonsense defender. We do need a midfield playmaker and Eremenko is out of our reach. I can't think of anyone who'd be better value than Bruno Aguilar. So, 400k for Fleck, 250k for Broadfoot, say 250k for Bruno. That'd leave 600k which could fund next years SFA fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
