Jamboscanbevicius Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Haven't seen this but on the face of it Caneira would be a good signing. Tons of top level experience and can play anywhere across the back 4. Not keen on Maniche but you've got to think he could stroll the SPL. Pedro Mendes is a player I always liked - would defnitely improve us through the middle. I don't want to see a huge influx though - it will hinder the development of some talented youngsters (Robinson, Prychenko, Holt, McGowan, Smith, Novikovas) 2 or 3 experienced players who can play Sergio's way and teach the young lads how to play rather than just scrap would be ideal... cautiously optimistic to see what transpires in the next couple of weeks!

Boab Mugabe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Caneira would be a cracking signing. He also played against us when he was at Bordeaux. Would have been in contention for a Portugal NT spot but Coentrao has now very much made that position his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The Sunday Mail (so it must be right) were recently linking us with Marco Caniero who is a CD or FB and I think still unattached after expiry of his Sporting contract. At 5ft 10in he seems a bit small for a CD. <( OI!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Not sure why there is so much doom and gloom tbh. We have a decent core of players - getting them all fit at one time is a problem though - and all we need to add is a ball playing CH, a midfield playmaker and perhaps another forward with a bit of pace. However it is important we leave space for younger players to come through. I also hope we get rid of a few - I would move on Barr, Mrowiec, Obua, Glenn and Stephen Elliott (and Calum when he gets fit) as we still have a bit too much quantity over quality.

cosanostra Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 We badly need players with quality and experience in the centre of midfield and the centre of defence. We need guys who can walk into the first team and hit the ground running as we're struggling terribly for quality at the moment. I can't believe JJ and BB never addressed these issues as a priority given our awful form at the end of last season. Maybe if they had, they'd still be in a job.

Hawick Jambo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 3 quality players - a decent defender, creative midfielder and someone who can score goals and we'll challenge for the league. Like others have said we do need to move on some players who have tried but failed to leave some room for the youngsters to get a chance.

But why wouldn't you? I think SE is a decent enough player and maybe he just needs a run playing up front with a regular supply but I watched him closely against DU and his movement wasn't that great and for me he lacks a burst of pace which KK and Sutton def don't have. I am just not convinced by him as a regular starter and given that he will be on a decent wage I feel we could do better and would like to see us sign someone who could pull defences around a bit more. Maybe I am being too harsh on him but scoring against Hibs isn't enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he has good technique and with a bit of confidence and a run playing as a genuine centre forward I think he will do very well for us. I think he was signed to get on the knock downs that Kyle would create and I'm sure he would do well off that were Kyle back in the team. The issue might be playing him alongside Sutton. Sutton looks like he needs a pacey player willing to overlap and hang on the last shoulder. Sutton appears better with ball to feet bringing in other people. We don't really have that pacey striker (unless G Smith fits the bill?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that seems weird to me given most of the squad are the same from last season. It`s also about service. The wingers need to be more forceful and in turn they need a better midfield up their erse...so to speak. Alot happens in 90 minutes, sometimes the forwards need to do a bit donkey work outside the area but ours do too much imo...i want to see them lurking in and around the box more and this requires the players around them to produce better play.

Completely agree DB4. I really hope Sergio is telling our wingers to HIT THE ******* BYLINE once in a while. I've been telling them this since Burley left, but they don't seem to listen. We scored a lot of our goals from cutbacks that season. Not really happened since. We need to stop playing our wingers on the wrong side and hoping they will score.

You know fitba is an easy gemme and the bit you highlight is spot on When I was a flying winger beating full backs for fun, many many years ago, it was drummed into you about getting to that byeline, as it's the hardest ball for a defender to defend.

Drylaw Hearts Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why not? VR's already brought back Skacel & Webster, we've had talks with Stewart so why not Karipidis & Aguiar as well? I'm sure they would suit the new managers preferred playing style and they already familiar with Hearts & the SPL - why take risks on new foreign players having to adapt and settling in? These guys could hit the ground running! But what about the youth players CB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawick Jambo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think a lot of the recent posters on here are spot on, we need our wingers to get to the by line to get balls across and to an extent we need our forwards to poach a bit more. For one, I think Suttton is trying to hard to impress. Get balls flying into him and he will score a barrowload. Anyone remember the old, old days of JC hitting the by line for a ball over to Robbo for a tap in, or a great cross to the likes of Sandy Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
