Hirstys 12th Pint Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If allowed to would terminate the loans of Fletcher and Hendrick. Quite like Buckley but has not really had much game time so that one may be out of our hands. As long as bringing a Striker in would allow Gregory to leave either on a free or a loan to a League one Club and the same with Bakinson.

Smith - keep Gregory - thank you but your time is up, should never been given a years extension in the first place imo. Windass - keep Palmer - squad player James - loan out Bakinson - bye bye Wilks - bye bye (lost patience with him) Vasquez - keep Hendricks - back to Geordie land Buckley - keep - like the kid, think he can offer this squad alot.

He can also play the 'Bellingham' link role. Two footed, very quick, and good vision. My only concern is he's just had 4 month's out with a knee injury but, if the rumours are true, then in Danny we trust. This may be Beadell using his links already. That would do for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 If we can send Vasquez back we're lining up free agent Matt Macey to train/trial with us prior to signing in January. Came through the ranks at Arsenal under Sal Bibbo and kept 10 clean sheets in 21 games for Portsmouth last season. Luton released him by mutual consent the day after the transfer window closed. Can't find out if it was trouble related but he wasn't given a squad number after Luton brought in 3 new keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I think DR, along with input from his backroom staff, has already targeted and sounded out the players he wants in January - and I think they will be players none of us will have an inkling about until they are brought in. I can see the majority of them coming in from abroad, who DR has either worked with or who have been on his radar for a while. I don’t really see any of these players we’ve been linked with to date adding much to what we already have, and for the quality we require we will need to spend big as they will need to be proven at this level (or above), plus it’s likely we would face competition from other clubs with healthier budgets than ours, if said players do become available. Going to be an interesting and probably season defining 4-5 weeks ahead of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft thing we actually need to move at the start of Jan not till the end as there would only be 17 or 18 games left in the league - something like that depending on the FA Cup But it will all happen at the end as it invariably does - and a lot of that is just how it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCraigsOwl Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 5 hours ago, Andyben said: Could Lawrence Shankland fit in with DR's methods @EastCraigsOwl I find it amazing how much his all-round game has improved since his Dundee Utd days. That spell in Belgium appears to have worked wonders for him. As it stands, he has 18 months left on his contract at Hearts. I don't think Wednesday are in the 'financial races' as far as signing him in January is concerned. By that I mean, If he's not going to get punted for in excess of £3-5m, it would be much more beneficial for Hearts to keep him until the summer, hopefully finish 3rd (thanks to his goals), take the money from the European qualification and cash in for around £2m max (if he wishes to leave). The above also depends on finishing 3rd being enough to automatically qualify for group stage European football next season, as has been the case in the previous two campaigns (providing one of the Old Firm wins the Scottish Cup!). I think this is the last time that will be the case, due to an upcoming drop in Scotland's co-efficient points / rankings. To highlight Shankland's importance to Hearts, there is an incredible stat from this season to date. He's top scorer with 16 goals in all competitions. Second top is 'own goals' with 3 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
