paranoid android Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Soz to be neg, but, if you're constantly going to fill your squad with vague punts, as Levein has, there's always a chance that some of them might turn out to be useless shiftless b*****ds who lack the ability to motivate themselves to get fit, even during an intense injury-free pre season regime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is apparently training with us, and some rumours beginning to circulate that we are close to signing him. Mr 6/10. Think your comparison with O'Connor is spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not a big fan of our recruitment this summer, Vaněček seems like a reasonable signing to me on paper. Decent enough scoring rate last season and looks like he can hold the ball up as well as providing an aerial threat (which is something we don't really have up front). On the other hand, signing jobbers from the Australian league or lesser teams in this country, a soon-to-be 36 year old journeyman striker or (for three years) a goalkeeper who doesn't seem to have held down a first team place for more than a few months doesn't seem like the best use of a squeezed wage budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few will turn out to be decent hammer throwers but in all honesty I'd be seriously worried if this was Hibs chucking darts at a board and signing randoms from Football Manager. Why Budge got Levein. Boy's got hardcore FM mods, much unlike Cathro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that just isn't true is it? Their career histories and references from fans are there for all to see. If they suggested that the players were likely to be good enough then I'd be more encouraged. Of course, sometimes players can exceed those expectations, but unfortunately our recent track record of unearthing hidden gems doesn't suggest we're likely to find 7 or 8 in one window.
