Ro Sham Bo Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 12 minutes ago, Raith69 said: Wonder if we will maybe offer terms to any of the three players leaving Hearts. Think Gary Mackay Steven could be the winger we need, and Ross Stewart could fill the goalkeeping position maybe and having Michael Smith could give us full-back cover. Is Ross Stewart not notoriously bad? Mackay Steven will be out of our price range as well and I doubt Smith would be interested in signing as a back up. As for Murray, no doubt we could do worse but he's not someone I've ever wished we'd kept hold of really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I really had an issue with him when he was here, but I've not been impressed watching him play against us. Perhaps I overlooked the shortcomings. Yeah probably remembering him through rose tinted glasses , don’t think he would comeback tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about right, Murray is decent enough for this level but can’t say I’d be overly fussed if we signed him or if we didn’t wouldn’t surprise me if we’re talking to him though with us needing CBs while the Pars are probably looking at other areas of their squad first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Cant see any of these players being wanted by us, or perhaps me wanting to see any of them with us. Murray runs as quickly backwards as he does forwards, he gets plenty practice doing that as Hank said. Stewart isn't an upgrade on what we already have, GMS would be an upgrade but at a cost and is getting on a bit, same for Smith who will be 35 in September and although a decent defender his days of bombing forward for 90 mins are behind him. None of these guys fit the "young & hungry" mold the manager and board say they are looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line is still making me wonder about Nolan. He certainly meets those requirements, so I’d just love to know what happened…he told us he was leaving and we didn’t offer anything…we made a preliminary offer and he told us he wasn’t interests in it…he’s got a deal elsewhere already…we just didn’t offer him anything? Current rough starting lineup: Thomson (McNeil) Millen/Masson/Corr/Dick Brown/Stanton or McGill (Spencer if he re-signs) Connolly (Matthews???)/Stanton or Matthews or Vaughan/Easton (Ross, Arnott) Gullan (Mitchell) The problem is Matthews is out of position there, but Stanton is anonymous at DM…Vaughan is a tossup, but needs to be at AM if Gullan is the forward, simply to get him playing. The reality of that rough layout is with 18 signed, I see us signing a keeper, at least three more defenders and a DM…that’s 23 of the 24-26 players, and I don’t see space in the AM/Winger realm for any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still need Experience in at CH we can’t run the risk of the what happened last season… Nolan’s first full season in first team football and Lang coming back from injury was our 2 main CHs and Corr needs an experienced head to learn off same with Masson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours are saying Nolan wanted to go back home or down south as he was missing friends and family but as said that a rumour no one actually knows or if any of the ITKs know then maybe they can say different but all the best to him anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
