jw1739 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 not enough room in the roster anymore for just "squad players" Agreed. The further signings really need to be "first choices" for the A-League team. So quality and balance are essential. Â TBH, we've still got too many "squad" players on the books, and I can see them being released at the end of the coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) below is a list of all EPL players released this close season - before there are any questions all the first names on the right, last names on the left:  http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/other/Premier-League-released-player-list-2012-13.pdf  Some very very interesting names there.  Some were releases at the end of the contract to another club / have already gone to another club (ie Kolo Toure, Wayne Bridge) whilst others have retired (ie Jamie Carragher, Steve Harper).  Guys like Jermaine Pennant, Ian Harte, Rob Hurse, Tal Ben Haim, Roque Santa Cruz and Yossi Benayoun would be good to see in a Heart top (although some might be a little past it and others a little unrealistic - ie Santa Cruz and Benayoun).  No one from Tottenham listed although I know William Gallas has left on a free.  Edit: Add Corey Gameiro to that interesting list - didn't notice he was on the Fulham list.  Surely he will be a number one target of a few A League teams.

toogood18 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Would be looking at Gameiro, has a lot of potential. Really keen to see him at the Under 20 World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damiano Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Gamiero would be great, so would a lot of other players but our biggest deficiency is our backs we need potentially 2 CBs and 1 LB. We should be going for Ogenovski, Madaschi, Hamill - players that will make our back solid. IMO Gerhardt is being under utilized as a Center Back and Ramsay will not work. If we are going to sign any Attacking players it should be some of the younger Phoenix players like Fenton! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Creative midfielder. We ain't moving from the bottom 3 if we head into the season with just Kalmar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'd prefer to see Kewell as our creative midfielder, he's got the excellent technique, can beat a man, pick a pass and has an eye for goal. Pretty much every attribute that a creative midfielder needs, Kewell has. Stick a hard working striker up front and Kewell will absolutely blitz A-League defences. Â I'd imagine that's what he's been signed for, unless JA plans to use him as our striker, which would be strange if we were looking at Grant Holt whilst we had Harry virtually signed up.

Â This is a good point. Harry will most likely be our creative midfielder/attacking midfielder, or perhaps our left winger, which I think are his two best positions. Harry's flexibility will allow us to play or bench Williams and Kalmar when they are hot or cold. Â If we re-signed Garcia as well that would give us lots of possibilities in midfield. He would also give us some depth in the DM position (with 2 DM positions likely to split between Garcia, Murdocca and Germano). As I'm tipping us to re-sign Garcia, I like our next 2 signings to be a striker good enough to start and a central defender good enough to start.

Sounds right, HK, at his age, has probably lost too much pace to play on the wing. Would be better suited in the middle where is skills can be best utilised.

oneanddone Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Back on to the back-up 'keeper... Oldham Athletic have cut their 3rd Aussie keeper in 1 month. Dean Bouzanis and Liam Jacob got cut last month and Alex Cisak got cut overnight. Cisak and Bousanis will likely try and stay in the UK/Europe (as will Jacob tbh) but he could be willing to come back to Aus after stints with LFC, ManU and Oldham. He is a really solid prospect at only 18, although he is a Sydney boy... (Does Melbourne produce any quality?? ffs) Â Â young keeper with international experience. I'm happy with that. Â Edit: Has Bolton signed on as keeper coach? Â As an aussie working in Liverpool atm, this kids name rang a bell.. remembered reading about him recently in the Liverpool Echo newspaper. Did a bit of research and he seems to have some big names who rate him. Eric Steele (Man Utd), Paul Dickov (City), Paul Gerrard (Everton). Â Would be a good pick for Heart as 2nd young up and coming keeper. Doubt any others in the country would have anywhere near his standard of training.

toogood18 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Phoenix released Tony Lochead.

mus-28 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Not a fan of Lochead at all, very much a Kiwi Jamie Coyne. Will give 100% but has the technical ability of a 3 legged Pommeranian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 We've signed Ramsay as a LB and we've got Mitchinson for cover I'd much prefer us delve into the youth squad for cover for Mitchinson than use Lochead.

n i k o Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 The club has no obligations to say exactly why they keep certain players but in Hoffmans case I'd love to know what they see in him. I said it a while ago though that regarding Hoffman it may be just a case that if you get rid of too many players you have too many places to fill. Keep Hoffman as a back up player, its one less player to look for and focus on signing those major gaps in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
