JD and associates Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Looks like the talks with Berahino didn’t go too well. Goncalves was always the 3rd choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I was desperate for us to snap up Isma in the January transfer window, but we signed Nadir Ciftci instead and it went really well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Unbelievable someone would post that. Be interested to see how Goncalves does at Livi. He's bounced about a lot of clubs since being here last. I'd hate for him to have come back to Saints and him to be rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that we've got him in early to get him involved in all the grueling pre season fitness work, hopefully that should help get him off and running from the start of the season, and not like JET, taking months before being fully fit and playing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 40 appearances and 8 goals in the last 4 years. The Japanese 3rd div / Bangdaglesh leagues must be better than I would have thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His fitness and distractions were an issue at Rio Ave before Saints by all accounts. Austin McPhee took him to his parents wedding anniversary the night before Hampden to keep an eye on him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 9 hours ago, ATLIS said: Goncalves and Drey Wright would be a fairly successful double signing I reckon. Goncalves is only 30 too, fits the JET style signing we seem to go for every year in terms of profile. He has only played around 30 games in the last 4 years scoring 4 odd goals. Certainly a big hit at Saints with the fans. Great guy hope it works for you both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Reese Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I liked Isma. Seemed like a decent guy, and he was a very good player. He was one of those guys who sadly was the victim of unconscious (and in some cases conscious) bias by an element of our support. His goals to games ratio was every bit as good as Lafferty’s and he provided more assists. Sadly for a certain element of our support his face did not fit … or more accurately his face was the wrong colour. Seriously doubt he looks on this forum, but if by some small chance he does, I and a lot of other Hearts supporters have nothing but respect for you big man. Don’t let the scumbags grind you down. I think he will do well for you boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts racially abused him? f**k me, the scumbag element at my club is a bigger problem than I thought. Was it Budge or Levein? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what though, it's doing wonders for weeding out the utter c***s in the Hearts support today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Isma on his day is a very good player. Whether he's a success at Livi will depend on whether his head is right and can avoid distractions off the field. I'm sure when he arrived at us he had a chaperon to avoid him going astray. His recent record would suggest its his application, not ability that has held him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was disliked because an element of our support are bigoted racist scumbags, mate. There are no two ways about that. Pure and simple - they exist - we have our share. Apart from the (nudge-nudge-wink-nod) “lazy” comments from the thick arseholes who think they are really clever by racially abusing him without being actually provably racist, he also suffered from being lumbered with a dick like Lafferty as a striking partner. His goals to games was every bit as good as Laff’s but Lafferty was a greedy selfish arsehole who would rather try and score from the half way line, than play in a strike partner. I preferred Isma personally. pretty black affronted by some of the comments about him today, but what can you do?

NorthBank Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Although I have highlighted his poor record over the last 4 years Isma was excellent for us during his time and he done well at Hearts. However his career seems to have nosedived since then. I saw a photo of him when playing 3rd div Japan and he had put on weight. There is a player in there but averaging only 10 games a year for the last four years would indicate a fitness or attitude issue. At 31 I'd expect him to be trying his best to keep his career going but it looks like he has been coasting. Hope it works out for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
