BlueMe 25,327 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 i think a few people on here would take SPL players just to laugh at the SPL teams.i would shop elsewhere tbh,the quality is utter shite in the SPL and even if we were to get anyone even half decent,we would have to pay way over the odds.i understand people are also talking about out of contract players,but if they're not good enough for a shitty SPL team,they won't be good enough for us.i say,get the scouts far and wide and stay away from past players and SPL has beens,it's time to look forward not back.unearth a gem and sell at a profit is the way forward.

ayrshireger 523 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 See I haven't seen enough of him to truly judge him. He might be fantastic, but I think he's a bit overhyped simply because we have been after him before.I think we need a couple of centre halfs tbh because Perry doesn't convince me at all and you just do not know what you are going to get from Cribari. Ideally I would prefer a younger ball playing one alongside the experienced veteran who can do the simple things well.I'm sure there will be lots of "forgotten" about players whohave headed to England and ended up in the lower leagues who might fancy a move back up the road.Gary McKenzie who was on the books with us as a youngster is available on a free, he might fall under that umbrella. Can play at centre half, and has been on the edge of the Scotland squad a few times. He might fall into that category. Only 27 as well, so a good age for a centre back.

scarkev 3,540 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hearing a rumour that we've signed Bell and Boyd from Killie and two (unknown) Partick Thistle players.I personally think Boyd would be a step back, however I wouldn't nesecarily be against it, albeit we are already top heavy with strikers...I know partick have alot of good youngsters....I still think addressing our defence should be the top priority.

Spectre 1,663 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hearts have an embargo in place, they must release a player before they can sign one, the new player must be younger than the old player and on a lesser wage.Hearts embargo was imposed for failure to pay player wages not their tax failings. It is still the case that no other team has faced the punishment we have for the few things we actually were found guilty of despite various other teams doing the same.

Miller came back and the grumbling from the fans ended once he started scoring, the same would be the same with Boyd If we can get him it's a no brainer The next few years we will have a team capable of getting out the league we are in by the looks of it, no more than that, and the budget will be pretty small IMO to bring players in To get him on a free on reasonable wages would be a good signing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nosed Babe 20,765 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Boyd and a new defence, apart from Lee Wallace (would keep him) would do well.Maybe an experienced midfielder for cover in case the likes of Big Jig gets injured.
