Louis Litt Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Disappointing because I think he's our best striker but he's obviously out of the plans so it's better to free up some funds to bring someone else in. My worry is that it's going to be another punt on someone from one of the random foreign leagues in Europe and. We need proven quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a lot of chat about "proven quality" and "proven record" over the summer and nobody has really explained what would be acceptable. Still don't know where these mythical available, cheap, players are - and why other teams in the league haven't tried to sign them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravabelli Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not sure what to make of that, none of our strikers really score anyway so any one of them could have been punted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve went for Schalk and Routis from Ross County for starters. 2 good players at this level who you know would be a success. Not every signing needs to be a gamble on a hidden gem.

Acceptable would be having a history of scoring goals at a decent level. And I don't see why we should be looking for a cheap forward when since the end of the season we've removed 4 strikers from our books (even if 2 were loans.) Going for cheap options from abroad may initially save us money, but eventually when they flop we need to sign others to try and make up for their failings and we're spending more than we would on one decent player who can keep a place in the team. I get that they're a bigger club and he had previous there, but Hibs have paid roughly the same for Kamberi as we have for Jack Hamilton. That's for a goalkeeper who may end up sitting on our bench ffs. Just imagine the difference a striker like that would make for our team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of whom are playing in the Swiss second division. Just flip that for a second, pretending they've not played for County, and imagine we signed two players from the Swiss second division. They'd be being filed under "foreign gambles" rather than "proven quality", IMO. Schalk was the only highlight of a horrible County team last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamberi is a great example and I'd imagine he'd be on a pretty decent wage at Hibs. Wages we probably couldn't get near. He had scored 4 goals in 47 games (assuming wiki is correct) before he signed for Hibs. So would he have classed as having a good history of scoring goals? Guess that's the point I'm making. He's clearly a very good player, and is proving to be top class in Scotland - but probably wouldn't have passed the "proven goalscorer" test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve played in this league and we know they’d do a job. No risks involved. I see what you’re saying but I’d like to see some signings that we know can do a job at this level.

Ludo*1 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 At a conservative estimated we are paying Hamilton £1k per week. (It's probably closer to £2k but just for argument sake) and we spent around £100k on him. That's £152k for the season on a single player. We could have overspent a bit on wages, say, £2k per week on Cerny without a transfer fee involved. That'd have left us with an extra £50k almost in the coffers for another player that we desperately need. I've nothing against Hamilton besides the fact I don't think he's better than what we have but even if he is a bit better than Parish, that money could have easily been spent more fruitfully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I wouldn’t want Cerny. Don’t really rate him and he could get in the sea with that time wasting pish he does. Hamilton’s a young keeper who’s been picked in national squads ahead of Bain. 1st impression he appears a better shot stopper than Parish and Parish more commanding in the air. It looks on paper a decent signing, time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 f**k me!!!! Near gave me a heart attack! First post at the top of the new page, and for a split second I thought we'd brought big Kev home to Dens. Was about to phone McCann and offer him first dibs on my missus. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
