Transfer rumours

[sleeping giant]

Was told mallan was shown around East mains today,
Lennon also trying to bring In 2 others , 1 of the players are pretty much a done deal, the other one is a wee bit away yet (dependant on moving a few players on) but would certainly put a smile on our faces 😉

Mallan started for his team at the weekend.

[southern hibby]

Right at present Hearts are oot the cup ( lost Walker, and Laughatme can’t play). So here’s my thoughts on what they probably are thinking 125/150 Grand each team will get for this game Sunday (19,000 times £15 equals £285,000 plus tv money minus expenses) I understand that game cost more than £15 just being economical.

Now if they get a draw again they’ll get about the same when game goes back to Easter Road and if they get a win they get money from next round.
If they get beat they’ve still got nearly £150,000 or poss £300,000 depending on score with us. But more importantly they can then if rumour is true sell Laughatme and keep the Jambo hoards relatively happy, with bringing iN Naismith.

Problem will be when we knock them out they’ll turn against the hand that feeds them. I’m predicting 3-1 Hibs.

Good, he’s match fit then. [emoji3]
I doubt anyone we sign now will start on Sunday.

Levein rolling the dice and splashing cash to bring in Naismith for the cup game. He needs Naismith to win him the game to keep him in a job. This deal will substantially up the ante for Levein because if they don't go through, the honeymoon period will be over and it will be the beginning of the end for Levein, particularly if Naismith and their other new signing don't not perform.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I appreciate you pulling back a bit & the positive comments about SIM. My problem arises when people make a comment that reads as a fact when the reality is they're opinions only & 100 different posters will have 100 different opinions. I live in England & constantly put up with people telling me how crap our game is even though they've never seen a game & I see much more English football than they do. These "facts" contribute to our game, & our players being devalued & we need to bring a bit more balance & reality to the debate. Im not suggesting we make things up but I'd prefer we talked our players up rather than down.

Is that not something many Scots findi a bit of a struggle ? By nature we tend to shy away from “blowing our own trumpet”?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I agree with this 100%. I honestly don't know what some posters are going on about. McGinn has been absolutely outstanding in some games during the period people talk about and good in most of the rest.

And all that considering he’s hardly had much of a break in the last 2-3 seasons playing in playoffs, cups Scotland games then starting back for Europe. The boys a bit of a machine...

[Unseen work]

Really don’t want Swanson to leave and I find the timing odd as he is just getting fit again.

Regarding Mallan being shown round today - i find it odd how the only people who know about this are 3 posters. Normally that sort of information is leaked and the papepers know about it.

You would suspect Hendo coming in means either Mcginn or Mcgeouch away, can’t see us being able to have all 3 plus Slivka, Bartley, Mallan and Stirling.

Swanson has been a horrific signing. Off field issues or not it hasn't worked out. He'll end up back at St Johnstone.

Thats a bit harsh, hes only had half a season which has been hampered by injuries. He showed what he could contribute against killie, any chance of winning that was lost when he tired in the second half.

Agree with this.

[wallpaperman]

Looks like Naismith is going to Hearts. 10k a week wage contribution is what Norwich were apparently wanting...

If true and they are paying £10k per week for just a six months loan until summer, then that is reasonable i suppose from their point of view, roughly 26 weeks x £10k = £260k, about what they got for Jamie Walker.

If true and they have taken on the extra year of his contract, there is a further £520k annual wages on one player, that is typical Hearts going back to their old ways.

Amongst all the hundreds of posts about Naismith, I can't see one that makes reference to him being match fit for Sunday. I assume he must think he is, and that is part of the attraction, but I'm not sure I would be that keen on Hibs signing any player (no matter how great he supposedly is) and pitching him into a fierce Scottish Cup Derby when he's not played for six months.

This could backfire on them, hopefully.

Agree with that. In their desperation, they've very likely spent more than they can afford. Beating Hibs is all that matters to these chumps.
If they fail, the Yams will be a pig with lipstick and Levein will be hounded out.

As their new left back and naismith Will be blowing out of their backsides in thé second half it seems levein is gambling on one, stand alone, huge 45 mins in thé first half on sunday.

If we are level or ahead at half time this could get ugly for hearts and Ive got a Seat in thé roseburn end to enjoy it!

I think he just played for Norwich U23s so he will have a degree of fitness if he has been playing. He also scored 2.
It's a quality signing no point dressing it up differently.
He's no world beater though and we are still the stronger team Naismith included.

The further year will be at his full wage not the 10k a week. The cannot afford it without external funding.

[Stuart93]

Naismith will be a good signing for them and was told the other day it's happening (although was told it would be done yesterday). Hoping we have a new face in for Sunday.

I would suspect we won't be signing Hendo or Mallan so doubt this is going to be a problem.

I think the best we'll do is another Barker type signing, a loan deal for a number 10 or a left back.

[Souter96Mac]

Wonder what the likelihood of us making any signings before Sunday.

[Hibs4185]

Was just having a look on sickback and they were talking about laughatme’s 3 game ban. Someone has just posted an article from today’s evening news. Says Levein is working on signing a striker but if it doesn’t happen the he will choose from Stockton or Isma.

is it all is Barry Anderson laying the groundwork for Naismith not signing?

My thoughts too. Any player who has not played for six months will be well short of match fitness and sharpness and will take 3-4 weeks to get up to speed. Martin, who has signed for sevco last played at the end of August. Stokesy took a few weeks before he was fit. Adrenaline can get you through the first game but after that the lack of sharpness catches up with you. I suppose it shows how desperate Potter is that he will pay way over the odds for Naismith yet wouldn't match hibs for mclaren. I'm sure even he'll know that anything he gets in the first few games will be a bonus but he knows if he loses he will have a tough job keeping the baying masses at bay as the will be wanting his blood. Expect a total copy of the last game with them trying to nick a win. If he is brave enough to attack a bit more I can see us picking them off. I can just see mclaren coming on and scoring. I'll go for 1-1 or 2-1 to us.

Ggtth.

[johnbc70]

I hope Naismith signs, gets injured in the first 5 minutes and subbed. We win and go through to next round. Naismith then recovers for next game and is honking for the rest of the season.

Henderson won't be joining.

Some something last night that as good as confirmed he was off to Bari, good luck to the laddie. He could have gone down to Coventry or Barnsley or some other pish but he's taken a brave decision.

He seems to be willing to ply his trade abroad. Seemed to do OK at rosenborg when he was on loan there so could do well in Italy.

[Borderhibbie76]

Thats a bit harsh, hes only had half a season which has been hampered by injuries. He showed what he could contribute against killie, any chance of winning that was lost when he tired in the second half.I don't think its that harsh tbh...the few games he's played he has flattered to deceive a bit and Lennon won't have been impressed at him breaking curfew in Portugal a week after giving it the big...my season starts here speech in the press. If we can get better in I'd move him on...even if it's a loan deal till end of season.

It's a bit rubbish it's not working out for Danny just now, perhaps he needs to go and play for a manager who knows how to instantly get the best out of him then come back in the summer and try again. Free up what I would imagine to be a very good wage to help us get someone in to hit the ground running.

I can't see where Danny fits into Lennon's team shape TBH. Recently we've seen a 4-2-4 formation, basic 4-4-2 with wingers, 4-1-2-3 all these Lennon seems to favour Stokes playing either off the left or behind the striker, exactly where Danny prefers to play.

I feel the 4-2-3-1 would suit our players better allowing Danny and Stokes to play but Lennon really likes playing Bartley as the holding mid, so one has to drop out and that's generally Danny.

I look at our squad at times and wonder if Lennon just bought players because they were available instead of thinking about the balance of the squad.

With the weekly wage being quoted (between £7k-£10k) it's a gamble with money that could easily be used elsewhere

Danny Swanson owes Hibs big time and I for one think it about time he delivered the St.Johnstone-type performances our club deserves.
Our club has paid him to basically take time out to grieve for his loss, which is commendable, but enough is enough. The time for feeling sorry for the guy must come to an end and he must show a hunger and desire again - the basics of any professional footballer.
He openly admits that he has not been focussed on football - which is hard to disagree with when he was one of the trio punished for their transgressions last week.
He is not doing himself any favours with this type of behaviour, and he needs to knuckle down and win some of us over for the patience our club has shown him.
Come on Danny, you say you are a Hibby and are living the dream, well come and show us how much you care by playing out your skin on the park between now and the seasons end.

I don’t see the logic in this. He’s 30 and says it’s his dream to play for Hibs.

If he’s not ready to contribute now he never will be. I know DS has had off the field issues but personally speaking I am a bit impatient now. He needs to shape up or go.

[CapitalGreen]

Naismith's record when he was last in Scotland, playing for the best team in the country at the time was 1 goal in 3. His record upon leaving Everton was 1 in 5 and his record now at Norwich in the Championship is 1 in 7. He is a player who has in the past relied heavily on pace and is joining a team that creates very little in the way of chances.

[cleanyman]

I didn't think Swanson was a good signing in the summer and I still don't.

Free up the wages and send him back to St.Johnstone

[Paloschi]

I think he is going there. Only Hearts have showed real interest in signing him.

I have heard Cahill's preferred choice is Hibs as he wants to work with McLaren and fancies Edinburgh. Milwall have dropped their interest. It's a win, win for us as he's hungry to get games for the WC and brings that experience we have missed since Grant Holt/Commons left us. I fancy him to play behind the striker/s and that is maybe why Swanson has been offered to St Johnstone. If you think of the impact Kenny Miller still has at 38, Tim Cahill can be a big player for us this season.

It’s a high profile, exciting signing for Hertz if they pull it off.

I’ve always liked Naismith as a player and he seems a decent guy too. Straight replacement for Jamie Walker. Who knows if he’s still got it though.

It is an exciting one and think he will do well for them. Would assume he is fully recovered from a bad injury he had last season i think. Very good footballer and a bit of a moaner and niggler so we will grow to hate him pretty quickly I think. :greengrin

Naismith is finished, I’m not one bit worried about them signing him. Two years ago Norwich were happy to pay £10m for him, now they are paying him £20k a week to play for someone else. That’s quite a turn around.
What happened to him in that two years? I think his legs have gone and everyone knows it which is why nobody in England went near him.
We’ll have to be wary of him on Sunday just as we would have to had to be wary of Stockton but that’s it.

we have different views on this one....agree it never really happened for him at Norwich, he also suffered a bad ankle injury this season - just back in Nov 17...after 9 -10 weeks out..He is still an international level player for Scotland - and will be so again. Great attitude, has had to work hard to get where he got to. Not an out and out goalscorer, but also a maker of chances. Think he is a quality addition. if he keeps fit, he will be a big player for them. I'd have been delighted if we had got him.

That is the only issue I think, if he does he will do very well as Hearts have no one else like that.

My thoughts exactly

[broondog]

he would be a good signing for them no doubt but I am yet to be convinced this will happen before the derby. when is the deadline for registering players for the cup does anyone know? EEN reporting he is still in talks. If they can´t register him in time, am I right in saying with Lafferty suspended they have no out and out strikers available.

If that situation presents itself I feel 1 goal from us should do it.

Come on Danny, you say you are a Hibby and are living the dream, well come and show us how much you care by playing out your skin on the park between now and the seasons end.

Not directed specifically at you but IMO there's been some right nonsense written about Danny on here. Firstly there was Hibs Net consensus that Danny was trying too hard, now there seems to be consensus he's not trying hard enough! Here's some facts.
1. Danny has only started 3 league games for Hibs.
2. Danny played in our last league game &, per reports, apparently played well. Provided an attacking threat but could perhaps have finished better.
3. That was Danny's 1st league start for over 4 months & his 1st start in any comp for over 3.
4. Forgetting the well documented personal issues, Danny has also been injured for much of his time at ER.
Based on the above I'm not really sure how it's possible at present to have any kind of informed opinion about Danny at Hibs, he simply hasn't played enough. Personally I believe he's a quality player but whereas at St J he was the fulcrum of the team, NL seems unsure of his best role with Hibs. One thing I am sure of, if/when he returns to the team he'll greatly benefit from the full support of the ER crowd.

What I do not understand is where the hell are they getting this money from? To pay for Lafferty, Berra, now Naismith.

I do not understand where this money comes from! Still not a level playing field it seems :confused::rolleyes:

It's a remarkably rapid descent for Naismith from EPL to Hearts in a couple of years. Hopefully he's well off the pace these days.

But yes, you do have to ask where the money's coming from to fund such a deal as he'll still be commanding a big wage, a wage Hearts were clearly the only club willing to match.

[chrisski33]

Jeez why so much chat about a player the yams are signing! Ffs

[500miles]

He’s far from finished and I’d bet good money if he does sign for Hearts that he shows just how much he has left. Would be delighted if it was us getting him. He’s only 31!

James McFadden was only 30 when he came up the road. Steven Fletcher is only 30, and I think he'd struggle here. Joey Barton was only 32.

Naismith might do well but 30 can be the burn out point for lots of players.

[Firestarter]

I can't see where Danny fits into Lennon's team shape TBH. Recently we've seen a 4-2-4 formation, basic 4-4-2 with wingers, 4-1-2-3 all these Lennon seems to favour Stokes playing either off the left or behind the striker, exactly where Danny prefers to play.

I feel the 4-2-3-1 would suit our players better allowing Danny and Stokes to play but Lennon really likes playing Bartley as the holding mid, so one has to drop out and that's generally Danny.

I look at our squad at times and wonder if Lennon just bought players because they were available instead of thinking about the balance of the squad.

Delusional ?......they are ****ing desperate...absolutely bricking it the thought of getting beat by us again. Levien is gambling big time on this signing....here's hoping it doesn't pay off and their season is over with a massive salary to pay until May.

[Greenworld]

If true and they are paying £10k per week for just a six months loan until summer, then that is reasonable i suppose from their point of view, roughly 26 weeks x £10k = £260k, about what they got for Jamie Walker.

If true and they have taken on the extra year of his contract, there is a further £520k annual wages on one player, that is typical Hearts going back to their old ways.

Amongst all the hundreds of posts about Naismith, I can't see one that makes reference to him being match fit for Sunday. I assume he must think he is, and that is part of the attraction, but I'm not sure I would be that keen on Hibs signing any player (no matter how great he supposedly is) and pitching him into a fierce Scottish Cup Derby when he's not played for six months.

This could backfire on them, hopefully.Scored twice for under 23s against Newcastle last weekend but not played fist team game since last August

They sit five points behind us and the next few league games, they look to have a better chance of picking up points than we do. Their season is far from over. Either that or you think our season will be over if we lose on Sunday.

We should have done far more business by now. We lack creativity in the final third and someone to score from midfield. Hearts have done well to bring in Naismith, who would have been an excellent signing for us.

Hopefully the squad can get back to getting the results because we didn't look our best the few weeks before the break.

Money is going into the club one way or another through the FOH. It could be moved away from the stand to fund new signings if needs be perhaps with further funds going to the stand in the future when next years season tickets are being sold? That's the beauty I suppose of them contributing a massive amount of £ p/a.

You are being too reasonable, as any Hibs fan would be (thats a compliment btw!)

The point is not whther their season would be over this Sunday when Hibs put them out the cup

The point is THEY believe their season has nothing of meaningfulness left to play for if they have been papped oot "The Big Cup" (their copyright) for the third season in a row, by Hibs, after drawing us at Tynecastle, including us winning the trophy and then giving a decent defence of it.

In their small, obsessive, world - the season ends at 4pm on Sunday if Hibs have won the game...which I believe we will (2-0 or 2-1)

The same Hearts side that don’t score goals have a better chance of picking up more points than us 🤔

But Naismith will score 1000 before June, so we reallly should fear them. Some folk really love bigging Hearts up while booting Hibs.

Remember when Isma 'already wants to leave' Goncalves, Tziolis (the Greek Ballack :greengrin), Choulay (must be good, he's from Stoke), Walker (worth £1million, sold for less than a third of that), and Malaury Martin (dead ball expert dontcha know :greengrin) were gonna put 7 past us last year TC ?

[Borderhibbie76]

Danny Swanson owes Hibs big time and I for one think it about time he delivered the St.Johnstone-type performances our club deserves.
Our club has paid him to basically take time out to grieve for his loss, which is commendable, but enough is enough. The time for feeling sorry for the guy must come to an end and he must show a hunger and desire again - the basics of any professional footballer.
He openly admits that he has not been focussed on football - which is hard to disagree with when he was one of the trio punished for their transgressions last week.
He is not doing himself any favours with this type of behaviour, and he needs to knuckle down and win some of us over for the patience our club has shown him.
Come on Danny, you say you are a Hibby and are living the dream, well come and show us how much you care by playing out your skin on the park between now and the seasons end.At last thought I was the only.one who felt this way about Danny...well said [emoji106]

Naismith is finished, I’m not one bit worried about them signing him. Two years ago Norwich were happy to pay £10m for him, now they are paying him £20k a week to play for someone else. That’s quite a turn around.
What happened to him in that two years? I think his legs have gone and everyone knows it which is why nobody in England went near him.
We’ll have to be wary of him on Sunday just as we would have to had to be wary of Stockton but that’s it.

[Paisley Hibby]

I was wondering about Naismith wanting to play for Levein again given his experience while Scotland manager. So I looked back at some press coverage from this time and it seems Naismith was one of the few Scottish players to speak out in defence of Levein's tactics against the Czech Republic (the infamous no-one up front formation). He was quoted as saying that Levein had "prepared them really well" for the match but that Scotland "didn't do well enough going forward" and "let themselves down defensively". Hopefully, history will repeat itself on Sunday 😃

Good opportunity for him, he’s well suited to the slower style of Italian football. I think he’ll do very well.

[wookie70]

No way to know if Naismith will be a success but his game was based on speed and endurance with a little trickery and finishing. I liked him as a player as he punched above his talents imo due to work rate. I think he will be similar to us with Kris Commons. He will do them a turn and might get an important goal or two hopefully not against us. Choosing 30 plus players whose game was based on speed and endurance and whose careers are on the way down is not the best model. There is only a couple of hundred thousand between finishing fourth or sixth so it looks to me that they are breaking the bank to get through in the cup. If they are paying £10K a week then they will be in trouble again before too long.
As a previous poster said I think I'm happier with McLaren than I would be with Naismith.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Not directed specifically at you but IMO there's been some right nonsense written about Danny on here. Firstly there was Hibs Net consensus that Danny was trying too hard, now there seems to be consensus he's not trying hard enough! Here's some facts.
1. Danny has only started 3 league games for Hibs.
2. Danny played in our last league game &, per reports, apparently played well. Provided an attacking threat but could perhaps have finished better.
3. That was Danny's 1st league start for over 4 months & his 1st start in any comp for over 3.
4. Forgetting the well documented personal issues, Danny has also been injured for much of his time at ER.
Based on the above I'm not really sure how it's possible at present to have any kind of informed opinion about Danny at Hibs, he simply hasn't played enough. Personally I believe he's a quality player but whereas at St J he was the fulcrum of the team, NL seems unsure of his best role with Hibs. One thing I am sure of, if/when he returns to the team he'll greatly benefit from the full support of the ER crowd.

Fair points, but when he did get games earlier in the season he still failed to deliver in the way he delivered for St.Johnstone.
If you check my earlier posts you will see that I looked upon him as a potential "new signing" in the 2nd half of the season, and I was quietly excited at this possibility, but his recent comments prior to going abroad for a break did not encourage me, something to the effect that his heart is not on football at this time and he does not want to think about kicking a ball or the game at all. In other words, he is not ready to deliver and give something back to the club that has invested time and money in him and stood by him big time. His transgressions last week certainly point to a guy with ongoing negative issues.
My earlier post clearly indicates a supporter who simply wants to see Danny deliver for our club. If Neil Lennon, in training, does not see the player that Danny can be, then Danny's future will ultimately be decided for him.

Fair enough i appreciate your detailed thoughts. Howevér Martin Boyle also transgressed last week & he's probably the most positive player we've had in years. I'm sure there's no ongoing negative issues with Boyle. As i said Danny's started 3 league games, far too early to judge him IMO.

I’m all for hibs fans taking an objective view on Hearts signings and fair play to you for taking off your green tinted specs.......

However.....calm down, it’s Steven Naismith, not Sauzee they’re signing.

He’ll probably do quite well for them and he’s a right Hearts player in that he likes to run around kicking people but let’s not get carried away, in his prime he was nothing special and there has to be doubts about his current fitness given he’s not had a good season for about 2 or 3 years.

Martin Boyle has delivered big time on the field for us this season and so his transgression can be seen in light of his contribution. Danny, on the other hand, has not built up sufficient/if any, brownie points to see his transgression dismissed so lightly. I'm not sure I am judging him as such, but certainly, I am comparing him to the "St.Johnstone Danny" and in this regard he is massively underachieving, albeit in limited game time.
I truly want for nothing more than to see a rejuvenated Danny and, like I keep saying, to see him "deliver for our club" in terms of performances and goals from midfield.
I do wonder whether Neil Lennon has other plans for him and whether we will see him given further opportunities to earn those brownie points - and now I hear that St. Johnstone want him on loan.

He may turn out to be a good signing, only time will tell, but no wonder they have been mince for so long when they haven't a scoobies when dealing in the transfer market.

Assuming we get Sunday out the way and despatch the Yam from the Scottish Cup for the 3rd year running, it will be interesting to look back and see how much money these three "cup derby" draws have cost Hearts in financial terms.

I would say there's little doubt in 2017 Hearts would not have had all the expensive Greeks and Slovaks and £170k for Goncalves etc others in the Jan window last year if they hadn't already been drawn to face Hibs at Tynecastle. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38799666

And then this year we have the splashing of around £300k (Walker money in its entirety?) on a 6 month loan, for a player who hasn't kicked a competitive ball in 5 months, and everything seems to rest on his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Hibs retain McGinn & McGeough, have added a hungry international striker to the forward line & a decent goalie to keep our existing international goalie on his toes, having gone 9 derbies in a row unbeaten, fairly comfortably too.

Looking at it that way there's only one winner in this tie and that's :nlgwa

Hearts 1-3 Hibs

That’s my prediction for Sunday. Naismith is a player NO one wanted bar Hearts and Killie. killie pulled out over wages Hearts and Potter are throwing everything into one basket to please the fans. This is a guy who hasn’t kicked a ball in months. Norwich fans laughing that he’s gone as well. Not only that he wasn’t great last time in the prem he was just alright.

Add that he’s now 31 and he used to have pace not now, he will find it a lot harder. I honestly don’t know why the Hearts fans are so excited. Come Sunday when they lose it will be mayhem again for them.

BRING IT ON!

That’s true, but he’s a huge loss for Hearts trust me. He’s very direct and we all know that he was the one who won most pens. Lafferty I don’t rate and think only free kicks he’d be a threat so still a plus. They are weaker now than before we should be able to win the game.

...and posters on the Norwich forum are celebrating the fact he's away.

Perhaps I should have said Naismith is a good player , it remains to be seen whether or not he is a good signing for them but I am still confident we are the better side and will progress in the tie (potentially after a replay again).

[Capt Mainwaring]

No question Naismith is a good signing for them. Looks like a strict loan deal rather than a loan with option to sign permanent but that probably suits both parties

I’ve no doubt Naismith will play a part on Sunday. It’s asking a lot of him however to fit into a team and form any tactical partnership with players that he’ll have, at best, one training session with. He’ll also be far from match fit

Daz or Marv to mark his Dance Card early - should take the wind out his sails! 👍

Well we know Rangers saw Cummings as a better option than Naismith. He might turn out to be decent for them but we said the same about Laugherty and he's been brutal. Mini Rangers aren't very good.

[Oscar T Grouch]

I don’t think Naismith is costing them even near £10k a week. He is covering the difference of what they can pay and what NCFC want. I reckon they’ll be paying £4-5k for him max. It’s a decent bit of business for them if he makes an impact in that sort of team. That’s the main point, I can’t see him being effective in a team like hearts, yeah he’ll score a few goals but he won’t be getting near what Stokes and Murray get for us.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Pretty sure Whittaker will have given the low down on what naismith is capable of

[calumhibee1]

Steven Naismith has played 14 and a half full seasons of first team football. That's probably around or possibly even slightly longer than the average pro footballers career. While he may only be 31 it wouldn't surprise me if his legs have gone seeing as he's played first team football since he was 17 - 2 or 3 years earlier than most people do.

Norwich fans are debating whether he's their worst signing in their history.

He's scored 103 goals in his career. 7 goals a season on average. That average is also bumped up by 2 seasons at Killie when he was an out and out striker where he scored 32 in two seasons. Since leaving Killie ten years ago he is averaging 4.5 goals a season. To put that into perspective, Steven Fletcher has 25 more goals in his career having played at a similar level and is a year younger. And he's absolutely rotten.

He may turn out to be a good signing for Hearts. He might even score the winner on Sunday. But there's no evidence from his career so far that he's going to bang in many goals and I'd bet he's never played in a team with a lack of creativity quite like this Hearts one.

£10k a week allegedly for a striker who if you consider his average goals tally will get them 2 or 3 goals in half a season? And that's only if he isn't finished like Norwich fans are suggesting he is. Lets just say I'm glad we never signed him. We've seen it with Whittaker especially and to a lesser extent Stokes that these big name signings quite often/probably more often than not don't work out the way people think they will.

[wallpaperman]

The sense of expectation and entitlement at the PBS is quite staggering based on one signing.

Naismith's going to score 2, they're going to 'rip the vermin', blah blah blah. The last few years have taught them no humility at all, not one bit.

Let's put them in their place on Sunday.

Good post.

Also worth remembering he’s not had a good season for a few years now.

There’s no question he’ll bring a massive work ethic with him though and our midfield and defence will need to be aware of that, they won’t be as stand offish in the middle as they maybe have been in a few recent derbies.

(I’m assuming he plays in a deeper role now than an out and out forward, not sure why though?!)

[SMAXXA]

Anyone saying they wouldn’t be pleased if we signed Naismith is kidding themselves on. We didn’t want him so it is what it is but he’s still a decent player and would have been an improvement on shaw and Big Dave. We don’t actually have that many options up top imo, Stokes and Murray then a young lad and a player who can’t get a sniff.

I would have been happy enough with us signing him within our wage structure. Not for the 10k a week Hearts are allegedly contributing. And I'd have been happy to sign him because we have Shaw, Stokes and Murray who are all capable of putting the ball in the net which isn't Naismiths strong point. Hearts are signing him to do just that.

[Eaststandee]

A good player he his, but for anything near 10k I would ******g bolt!

[SMAXXA]

Oops forgot about him

[GreenOnions]

I think Naismith is a quality player and a good signing for them.

However - on Sunday they will still be weaker in terms of players than before the transfer window because two of their major players will not be on the pitch - Lafferty and the now departed Walker.

I acknowledge that Levein has made Hearts stronger defensively and difficult to beat. But most observers would agree that we deserved to win both games so far this season - despite only picking up four points out of six. We played the better football, created more chances and generally had more creativity in our side - even when Walker and Lafferty were available.

Naismith will help them on Sunday if he's fit to play but evidence this season would indicate that we still have better players and, if we perform, we should win.

[LustForLeith]

Does anyone know for certain how much he's on?!

I like Naismith. Always gives 100 per cent, does loads for charity and will probably score a few goals.

fletcher also spent a large chunk of his Hibs career playing wide rather than as a striker, and (I think) has spent most of his post Hibs career in the English prem, Naismith had a few years playing for rangers before he went to Everton. There’s even a decent argument to be made that fletch played in worse prem teams (Burnley, wolves and Sunderland) than the Everton team that Naismith was part of.


That said, Naismith has spent the last several years playing against and training with better defenders than he’ll face most weeks in Scotland, so will probably do ok for the yams. At the relative cost though.....?

I don’t! I’d be more than happy to see them relegated once again!

Not the team as such, but the fans. They have had it **** for so long :confused:

Aberdeen sign devlin from Hamilton, very good signing. Makes a difference when transfer fee's they receive goes back into the playing squad.

Are Hamilton having a car boot sale?

Aye but you don't get invited unless you've got ambition

Hearts? Let go of Walker and Isma. Brought in Naismith yet to see how that pans out. Mitchell I thought looked good. New guy injury prone 1 goal in 67 games. If that was us this place would be in melt down.

Only team who has brought in better is The Rangers! Ourselves have brought a striker and a RB so let’s net get carried away. Hearts also letting couple other fringe players go.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of business from Hibs'. I know we've got a couple of loans and the Stokes and Swanson situations are causing hurdles but ...... we could do with a cherry being pulled out the pie to give us a bit of a lift.
Doesn't help when you see your rivals strengthening their squads.

Do they not have a 750000 hole in their finances after being conned? I think they might need to sell to stay afloat?

How many players do you reckon we should be signing this window? We've signed a goalie and a right back, it looks pretty certain we'll be signing a striker and Lennon seems to be wanting a creative midfielder.

Also signed McLaren.

Aberdeen paying out for another signing. They certainly re-invest in their squad when they receive transfer fees. We’ve got a fair bit of catching up to do on them.

All loan signings though which don't help us for the future. We're going to have to strengthen all of these areas again in the summer.

Wonder if we’ll do the same if we get a fee for McGinn?

Which is a much better time to do it.

That's true but maybe RB aside, this should've been addressed last summer no? We all knew we still needed a goalscorer before the season started.

Extremely unusual signing, paying money for someone recovering from a cruciate injury!

Making signings for the long term in January rarely happens. Players' contracts don't run out in January and teams don't want to let go of their best players half way through a season.
