Heart of Midlothian 2014-


Recommended Posts

He would be second best of your forwards mostly because Hearts have a lack of depth up front.  Your second best striker (of the 6 listed on Wiki) is Bjorn Johnsen so I would rate Garner slightly above Johnsen but a long way behind Goncalves.  
Either way Garner is my gold standard for shite forwards, at least this Stockton lad isn't costing you anything so if he doesn't score a single goal then he will be better value for money than Garner.

We lack depth in good forwards. Now have 7, how many should we have when only really play one upfront? Fair point on the value for money. If the boys shite so be it. Cost nothing, wages won't be much.

18 goals in 35 starts last season between League Two and the National League.  Not the highest standard but probably on a par with our Championship so as long as it's cheap it's worth a gamble.  Could be good, could be shite, i'll not write him off before seeing him though.

What is good about this type of signing is the unknown factor. He could be maturing at the right time and end up being a gem. Better than knowing you're getting a huddy like Sammon.  or Simon Murray

James Collins played at a higher level, scored 18 one season then 15 the next, both in League One then he came up here and got found out as being an utter carthorse.  The boy you have couldn't get a game at Tranmere in the Vauxhall's when they got relegated.

Class signing.  Keep them coming Cathro.

Well, the Greek internationals didn't work...

Though, apparently the likes of Adam Rooney and one or two similar were sourced from similar.

Yet Moult came from that level and Boyce came from Norn Ireland. Both have pished our shan league.

He's a better option than fucking Simon Murray anyway. :lol:

Moult was released from Stoke so came through there.  Your guy was in Tranmere rezzies.

Simon Murray, maybe.  Stokes and Cummings, maybe no :)

Who is comparing him to Stokes or Cummings apart from you? If we don't sign another striker to be first choice I'll be amazed. This guy will clearly start as backup. 

And he wasn't in Tranmere reserves. He was on loan to a league above and then went back and was first choice for Tranmere.

No one is saying he's anything special, we'll find out in time.

He spent his time developing at utter shite sides because he couldn't get a game at Tranmere.  He did have a good six months at them though.

Paulo is clearly saying he's a better signing than Simon Murray, the difference is we have Cummings and Stokes probably too Hearts have some carthorse norwegian American dude and a boy good for st Mirren pre-hearts admin says.

You were also tugging yourselves over Juanma, as you do for most strikers you sign who invariably turn out to be useless huddies.

 

Juanma was pure sex at times, and scored a few goals - if he has a better attitude, and we'd played to his strengths, he'd have done better.

Juanma wasn't a huddy. He was lazy but he had talent when he could be arsed.

Was Jamie Vardy not swanning around at that level? I think he was. 8)

Has wee Ivan told you IRA Tony is desperate for another spell since no-one else will touch him with a barge pole? Wee Cummy has only scored at a level akin to big Cole as well. Unproven in top flight fitba.

Yeah, like the boy we had on loan from... Stoke. :1eye

sammon, watt and Johnsen too

face it hearts, we have better forwards than you. have done for about 25 years now

Apart from guys like Robertson, Adam, Fuller, de Vries, Jankauskas, Bednar, and Pinilla, obviously.

Shame Hibs have been pure pony in that time as well, m8.
