RandomGuy Posted August 3, 2024 Report Share Posted August 3, 2024 Courier has Levein saying he's finished with up front, but central midfield he wants another experienced player, and sounds like he'd add in defence and in goals too if possible. Andre Raymond out for "three weeks". Scott1884 and tucker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine the aim is still to offload players but the pressure to do so has probably reduced with the imminent income from the Rangers cup game. Just hope Levein uses his contact book, preferably as far as possible away from Tynecastle, to get the experienced CM as this signing has to be right.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted August 3, 2024 Report Share Posted August 3, 2024 (edited) That’s young Jackson Mylchreest out on loan to Forfar until January. Played today but didn’t score. A player and a wage, albeit a negligible one, out of the squad. Hopefully, if a couple of the other younger players follow, will lead to a couple of incoming first team players.

Aitchy Posted August 5, 2024 Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 I see Levein mentioned in his press conference that he signed Lewis Neilson because he can play centre half, centre midfield, right back and left back. Potentially could see him at left back tonight then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin was saying how big and physical teams like Dundee, St Mirren and Kilmarnock are. It’s possible we could be battered and bettered by most other midfields. We shall see.

Northern saint Posted August 5, 2024 Report Share Posted August 5, 2024 I don’t think we will splash the cash. Webb is realistic. While I hope McCleland’s injury is not as severe as it appears, he will miss time. Keljtins must be the one missing for three weeks not Raymond. I hope Olufunwa gets a chance as he has the pace and is capable of bringing the ball forward. Sanders is not the answer. Will Levein swallow his pride and play Olufunwa and Sprangler? I doubt it. We will need Parker, Steven and others to force themselves into the team. We can only hope Levein can keep us around Motherwell, Hibs, Ross County while we find a defence.

No. Sprangler does a job, but that entails protecting the back line and playing easy balls to feet of the nearest man. He is reactive, not pro-active. MacPherson tonight, was OK. Merely OK. Normally I despair when he is on the pitch, but tonight. 5.5 out of ten. Smith by far the best of the midfield 3. Essel has potential but so, so rash going into contact.

I still think Essel looks more comfortable in defence with the play in front of him. Given McLelland's injury I'd shift him back and get a midfielder in. But I guess Levin/Kirk see him as a kind of project. 5.5 is generous but I get where you're coming from. Think that may be his best at this level. Guess we may find out next season if he's a goid Championship player. Edit: just seem "Cami's" twitter post. Get out! Never want to see him on our pitch again.

Linky Posted August 6, 2024 Report Share Posted August 6, 2024 Sidebeh just plays his own game, I wonder if he’s trying to score as many goals as he can before the end of the window to get his dream move. Kimpioka by far the better striker. If we let him leave for a decent fee and spent some of that elsewhere, I wouldn’t be too worried. Particularly as Kirk did more in the short time he was on.

Cagey Posted August 6, 2024 Report Share Posted August 6, 2024 Still Levein has a problem with subs . Like for like because of injury.
