Empty It Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hearing there was interest from Aberdeen but obviously wanted to go to a bigger club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) He'll be pricey and probably a bit inconsistent, but there are two upsides for me. 1) He loves a goal against Hibs. 2) The comparison jokes with him looking like Joel Sked will never get stale.

DC92 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Tony Wonder said: It's also complete bollocks. We will probably make 2 signings tops in this window. Neilson started with the majority of his budget tied up in a shite, bloated squad and most of our summer business was focused on outgoings, so I don't hold him too accountable for the fact there's still plenty of work to be done. The Frear and Roberts signings are definitely on him, but I also doubt there was a wealth of good wingers floating around in a similar price range that would have been willing to play in the Scottish Championship, especially this season. There's a line of thinking among some fans that whatever their club can afford to spend is the morally correct amount. Bigger clubs that can afford better players are overspending and "buying" their position. Presumably Dunfermline won't be signing anyone this window and, if they do, it won't be to buy a play-off spot. Mackay-Steven is a good signing largely because he'll be useful next season as well and isn't just a short-term fix. We're winning this league with or without him. Having said that, if we've got GMS and Ginnelly both available then we'll be a very different attacking prospect compared to the last couple of months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Arguably Neilson shouldn't have left it till January to finish assembling the squad, but given that it's about a 1/3 of the way through the season as opposed to half way it's not a crazy thing to do and we are 5 points clear at the top so he's basically got away with it. Hopefully GMS and the new number 9 will justify the wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/dunfermline-fixture-postponed Hearts' Championship fixture at home to Dunfermline Athletic, scheduled for Tuesday January 12th, has been postponed. Dunfermline were due to play Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup on Saturday January 9th. This match has been postponed due to a frozen pitch and will now be played on Tuesday. A new date for our clash with the Pars will be announced in due course. The Jambos were also due to be in Scottish Cup action on Saturday but this fixture has also been postponed as freezing conditions have prevented the Camelon Juniors v Brora Rangers tie, the winner of which will face Hearts, from going ahead. Robbie Neilson's men will return to action away to Alloa on Saturday January 16th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add another if we go through in the cup as the Morton game will be rearranged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s true I’ve said it a few times but I don’t dislike him just that he’s done it before with United and people mistake him for a genius who knows the championship when his side struggled most weeks and relied on individual brilliance rather than any great tactical nous. Hes the Allan Johnson of the championship. I don’t dislike him just that hearts could have strolled the league with Robertson but spent half the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved on over 20 players in the summer, plus got Leveins 2 wages and Macphee off the books. Hibs then spent transfer fees on players and brought in guys like Murphy. I'd be amazed if our wage bill was more than theirs this season. Ours will have come down significantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
