Leith Green Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Were Hearts playing a pre season match yesterday? Was on the bus en route to pre match beers yesterday and there were a couple of women at a bus stop in Newington with Hearts tops on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Just reading we're not offering that Joe Wright lad a deal - quite surprised at that as I think he showed up quite well in his trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a no-friendly policy, so I've not seen him, but all I'd heard was positive. Maybe he was asking for too much? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a guy we offered a contract last year before withdrawing it when he got injured. I suspect we were mostly having a look out of courtesy tbh. He also seems to have been playing Halkett's position in the friendlies, while we're more after someone to fill the Souttar role on the right of the three. Probably someone with a better pedigree or more promise. It'll have boosted his profile a bit and shown he's fit enough to get back playing games. An English League One team will probably snap him up now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 To be fair, Joe Wright has had a decent pre-season with us, and has had a fair bit of game time, so he's probably in reasonable nick to earn a deal somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Record story that we're not offering him a deal came out after this. I guess we'll find out soon enough but I'd be surprised if he was ever a serious possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Aye, it just seemed a quick about turn with Wright - positive story on Saturday, then a negative one the next day - I even wondered if there might have been a 'discipline' issue or something. You can't trust the press, of course, and priorities can change quickly. I know there's still time, but a striker or two has to be the current priority, surely? It still scares me that Robbie thinks Cheesy Stewart is adequate back-up for Gordon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart is brutal, but Stone is staying with us and going to play for the B team, so if Gordon was to get injured I think he'd come in. Which is miles better than Stewart, but still quite risky to have no experienced back up worth their salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks like we offered him squad fringe player money but he reckons he can get first team starter money somewhere else.

Which would be fair enough Given how close together the articles were (an hour or two?) I think it's more a case of one journo getting their wires crossed. Plus the Record one said we wouldn't be offering a deal, not just that he wouldn't be joining. I guess we'll find out one way or the other if he's in the line-up tomorrow night. Like I was saying earlier, I think we'll be after a ball-playing CB and that doesn't really leave room for Wright.

I'd certainly be happier with Sly Stone than Stewart whose MO seems to be to give the opposition a two-goal start per game to make things interesting. Probably a decent training goalie and good team mate, but an unreliable goalie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Stone, and he gains experience that might help him have a decent career - play Stewart, and we drop points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Would genuinely rather stick a set of gloves on an outfield player than have Stewart in goals, he really is a disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
