Transfers News For The Inferior Teams

[Helmet]

Hibs have signed 7 now? We've no idea how good they are but they certainly don't seem to have any trouble getting deals over the line.

Hibs sign winger from Benfica, could be a coup. 

Or a coo.

They were paying Mueller 16k a week. He was a sub. Then released. Their signings are managed by the owner's son. 

I'm pretty relaxed. 

Still trying to replace Boyle by buying up lots of mediocrity. 

Will push for 6th.

I see Courts has left United by mutual consent.

Would Jack Ross be the man they are looking at for that role? Not sure he would be so keen on Asghar being so involved in everything as he is. 

 

 

These seemingly random manager appointments never cease to puzzle. Courts going to Honved? What's that based on? Up there with Bobby Williamson ending up at Uganda.

The sporting director (newly appointed) at Honved is ex dundee United head of analysis. Hence he's gone for a manager he knows. Not a completely random appointment.

As long as ashgar leaves the shagging of physio in the capable hands of Jack he will be happy enough

We always seem to be the club that takes the longest time to get any players. Other clubs are out there getting the players to fill the team, while we're schlepping around signing one or two with the deadline looming. 

"It's because we're taking the time to get it right!" we're told... as we eventually bring in Gurr, Hornby, McGeough, Kennedy, Hernandez, Main, Gallagher, Taylor, Ojo, Bates, Montgomery, the other Gallagher...

I don't think it is because we're taking time to get it right, you know.

What do you think the issue is Kelt? 

Are we identifying unrealistic targets wage wise?  

Are we targeting players where we are in competition with richer clubs? 

Are we too slow in getting deals done? 

Or are we not very good at selling the club to players once identified?

Probably a combination of all of those points. You'd hope if someone was waiting for all options on the table with the extra cash we are away to get that we could just sweeten the deal with a higher signing bonus to get them over the line.

I think since Calderwood's era we've gone with the innovative, and probably unique, 'No Fucking Scouts' system of identifying new players.  That doesn't really help when it comes to quickly identifying emerging talent before someone else snaps them up, and we're left with journeymen that can maybe do a job, or maybe not, but probably won't be very good or recoup any kind of fee when they fuck off back to the obscurity of England's fourth tier. 

Hopefully that's been addressed in the last couple of seasons, but any time I ask "How's that scout network of ours coming along?" , those 'itk' on here give the response, "Eeeeeeehhhhhm...."

In the latter days of the McInnes reign especially, we seemed to pay over the odds, wages wise, for dumplings like McGeough, Kennedy, and then that trilogy of idiots Hornby, Hendry and that Swiss Cunt, canna even mine his name.

So maybe there is a push back against that now, given that even after McInnes had shot his bolt, we still seemed to continue that strategy of paying way over the odds by taking in JET, Brown, Gallagher, Bates, etc etc

Fuck knows is the answer

No they were not. He was on a decent whack, but his contract was cut short and they paid it up. It ended up costing them £16k a week, but he wasn’t getting paid that. He was still shit though.

McLennan, Kennedy, Bates & Gallagher. Though I doubt they could afford the wages of the latter two

Sounding like fees agreed by Hearts with clubs for Lawrence Shankland, Jorge Grant and Alex Cochrane. Tours and personal terms stages for all 3.

Adding to Kye Rowles, Alan Forrest and Lewis Neilson. 

Expecting still more arrivals as we look to compete on 4 fronts.

Hearts will finish outside the top 4 this season with Europe to contend with. I've no doubt.

Skins is more welcome on here than any of the noobs.

Why would you arrange a tour for Alex Cochrane? Is he a bit simple and forgot he was with you last season? Maybe you've moved the training ground? Fuck off ya knucklehead. 

[fine-n-dandy]

The Scales loan transfer should be discussed in this thread. Far more fitting in here. 
We seem to be in full acceptance of being inferior 

FUCK OFF WITH YOUR DOMESTIC LOAN SIGNINGS GOODWIN.

SAME SHITE DIFFERENT MANAGERS ?
