Buying players from abroad is the model we need to start following. Much more up side than signing players from England/Scotland Link to comment

Hearts have skooshed third because Craig Gordon. Best player in the league this season. His saves separate Hearts from “the rest”. We’d certainly been a lot better of with him in our sticks. 2 Link to comment

McKay and Boyce are very good attacking players. Link to comment

A few years ago Lewis looked easily a better keeper than Gordon while he was at Hearts. There was no contest as to who the best keeper in the league was for a while. Gordons about 4 years older, assumed he was a past it. Link to comment

If you mean Gordon's first stint at Hearts.....he was sold for £9million to Sunderland in August 2007. Lewis signed for Peterborough 5 months later for £400k.......compare and contrast. Lewis was very good for us when he initially signed but he was being directly compared to Langfield the previous incumbent. The bottom line is that Lewis has never been in the same league as Gordon has/is ability wise. Link to comment

Really? You've made your mind up on VB already? He'll be a good player for us, could do with less of the play acting but once he gets a good run in a team with similarly minded players, maybe strikers that move, he'll be good. Link to comment

Brain fart. there was a spell Lewis was widely regarded as superior to Gordon. Even by the media 1 Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Every hearts game you watch, Gordon is making world class saves to bail them out. That save fae the corner, double save v Livi. That’s 2 of their last 3 games alone. That makes a huge difference. They concede a lot more chances than us, just less goals, due to Gordon. 17/18 Joe Lewis was phenomenal. Don’t play it down cos he’s not been good last 2 years. Link to comment

AyrshireSheep Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 DR reporting Goodwin wanting 5 new signings in tge summer. Are we changing to a 7 a side team now? When you consider there are only 5 players currently in the team i'd keep (McCrorie, Ferguson, Barron, Ramsay and Besuijen) and 2 of those are likely to be sold then 5 players isn't anywhere near enough to come in. Obviously the likes of Duncan and Ngwenya will likely be part of the 1st team squad but we need more than 5 to come in. Link to comment
