Bambino7 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 58 minutes ago, Tony Wonder said: 3 signings coming in today and there could be a 4th to follow as well. Tziolis, Goncalves and Tasos Avlonitis, a Greek CH all pretty much done. Bit worried about the amount of signings and how long they'll take to gel but we definitely need numbers. Cathro can't say he's not had backing. Definitely doesn't look like Levein is calling the shots with Cathro's signings. This could only be good news for Hearts. A lot of players to shop window until the summer though. Apart from the boy who missed a sitter yesterday and took a decent free kick or two for 'Boro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/5705 Confirmation of Greek midfielder Tziolis signing - pleased with that. As Tony says, hopefully more to be announced - Goncalves should be a good addition up front, and we badly need defensive cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 That's a good looking b*****d if ever I've seen one. Firmly cementing our place at the top of the looks table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathro can't say he's not had backing. Not sure we had a lot of choice re the January comings and goings - Horrendous injuries to Paterson and Souttar, decent cash for Rossi, Ozturk had to go, cash for Muirhead, Watt had to go, players like Oshaniwa not contributing, Smith not looking like being able to grab an opportunity - we had to get players in. Some of the short-term signings won't be the players we'd have gone for in an ideal world, but, if they impress, we might be able to get them to stay on for a bit longer. They might all be pish, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem long term planned at all. 3 players who haven't played for ages on short term deals because nobody else wanted them? Strange. Then there's the Hamilton cast off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's an experienced midfield player with a decent pedigree. Also because, as NJ has said, he is a devilishly handsome motherfucker.

Not sure I can speak for half of our support - not sure you can either. Cathro has said that the January window isn't the ideal time to recruit, but with injuries, sales, players on international duty, etc, short-term signings are necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but he was out of contract in the summer, and he'd been offered a lucrative deal, which he wanted to take - some say we got 400K for him. We were also leaking silly goals, so the defensive situation had to be addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
