Peter Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) So there hasn't been any signings recently to generate excitement. But come on. The cap which is coming to signed up members should be enough to keep anyone pumped. Or so it would seem.

Nah, I was just at Italian 'boot camp', a holiday organised by my wife where we cycled many of the tough climbs of the Giro d'Italia. Just returned.

mulhollanddrive Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) 2 marquees are overdue according to the Scott Munn's statement last month. Beckham and Owen must have been polite and said maybe next year. Edited July 21, 2013 by mulhollanddrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we start a social network movement: #WeWantScottMcDonald or #BringScottMcDonaldToHeart ?

Nate Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) I've always liked Scott McDonald, regardless of his international record I reckon he's our best striker. Absolutely tore up the SPL a few years ago and he was never really given the truest opportunity to prove himself in the national team (most of his appearances came either as a sub or as a sole striker). Would be the perfect Australian marquee as Red or Dead said and would score 10-15 a season. Edited July 22, 2013 by Nate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiro Kompiro Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Why hasn't MacDonald been able to reproduce his Celtic form in the Championship then? Its because he had Nakamura putting it on a plate for him to finish from 6 yards at Celtic. MacDonald is a poacher. Raul is a poacher. Lineker was a poacher. Without a quality play maker they are less than half the players. We could have kept Tadic if we had an Ono, or an ADP to create chances. Who is our quality play maker?

kenno82 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Try 1.5 - 2 million ...probably not worth it Yeah, not worth that amount, Don't lose sight of the fact he's being let go from a side in the Championship and the Socceroos won't touch him. Not dissimilar to where Garcia was at before he came (less injury plagued I guess). I'd say $800 to $900k about right, There's talk of Boro continuing to pay some of his salary when he leaves...

kenno82 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Okay, I'll admit that I'm a Saints fan, but here are three players that Southampton are trying to get rid of that are all worthy of consideration by Heart. All are just short of EPL standard, but would be quality players in the HAL. Striker options: Tadanari Lee Billy Sharp Midfielder: Dean Hammond (could be used as a DM, but usually a central midfielder - not a marquee, but at an age where we could try to squeeze him under the salary cap). Hammond and Sharp have both delivered in the Championship, and only Championship teams would be offering contracts . I'd say Sharp is a genuine marquee - good age and great goal scoring record.

kenno82 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Refer previous post - two types of marquee - ones that win games and bring people along because of success, and others that bring people along through their reputation - these players are not the latter - but Sharp would be one of the best strikers in the competition. Players like Broich, Flores, and Fred did not bring people to their first game either... they were pretty much unknowns to most HAL fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenno82 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Sharp would be great tbh. Not sure if we could afford Sharp - but it'd be worth asking the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
