This whole thing about Maloney already having met targets worries me a bit. Basically says to the players playing now that they are only in the side temporarily and could be gone in the summer. Dangerous game to play. Rather he just kept quiet until the season was over

What a strange take on it

Key target? He’ll sign for hearts or Aberdeen then

Chronic patter

[McGruber]

McKirdy looks small and lightweight, 5ft 9 and weighs 10 stone. Looks like you wouldn't see him from the side.

I would rather our next striker signing target looked more like Martin Ford, bald head tattoos en all.

Firmly tounge in cheek of course- the guys size doesn't mean anything if he is a good player of course, more a Riordan than a Mixu will do me.

Still though, whilst tounge in cheek.. we are crying out for some physical presence and power up top.

* if we are even interested in the boy

I don't know whats strange about it. Coming out publicly before a massive derby double header that will define our season and saying you've met or are meeting players for next season doesn't send out a very good message to the guys in the team.

It doesn’t send any sort of message imo.

I’d imagine 99% of teams will sign players in the summer. I’d imagine the majority of those teams have started speaking to players and agents. Football players will know this and I’m not sure they’ll be horrified to hear it from Maloney.

There’s a subtle difference between saying you are planning for next season and singling out individual players and telling them they aren’t in the management’s plans.

I think most professional football players can understand the difference, even if a simple fan doesn’t.

If Maloney had red sauce instead of brown sauce on a lorne roll, the same people would be going tonto over why he should've had brown.

Criticising the manager for publicly acknowledging we’re planning for next season when there’s only 5 games to go of this season is pathetic.

We signed Mueller 6 months in advance of him coming. That was planning in advance. I wonder if there was the same concern about how the players currently at the club were going to be feeling about that when Jack Ross was in charge. I certainly don’t remember anyone questioning whether Kevin Nisbet, Martin Boyle or Christian Doidge would be ready to down tools because we were going to sign new players in the future

You’re way off here ..footballers know what the industry is like . They will be exploring what’s next for them, in the same way as Maloney is exploring what’s next for his team …it’s a nothing story ….completely business as usual

This seems like just going for the manager for the sake of it. What he said isn’t at all controversial and won’t be a surprise to any player at the club.

Half the players will probably be talking to various folk about what they’re doing next season as well.

There’s absolutely nothing in this, criticising for the sake of criticising.

I think red sauce is a sacking offence personally

Agree if they cant as a professional get yourself up for possibly winning the cup irrespective of where you are playing next season you are likely in the wrong job

Wonder if Mckirdy will sign decent return 18 in 28 but is he any better than youngsters like O Connor and Laidlaw rather see them getting a run

Our biggest problem now is asking players to sign up for a season without European football.
This takes the players we want down a level from what we may want?
So for this, it makes this weekends game all the more important!!!

Can’t see it being that big an issue. We’re usually knocked out by the time we get the players in.

We have a few players at the end of their contracts, there will also be others not in his plans. What does he do wait until the start of pre season before telling them? Players aren't stupid and will know the score, they'll have their agents on the case already.

We were in Europe at the start of this season and ended up with JDH, Nathan Wood and James Scott…

I'd be surprised if European football was that much of a carrot for players joining us, given it usually consists of us pissing about in June/ July with half a team and being knocked out long before we've assembled our squad for the season.

We did our best job of attracting good players when we were in the Championship, bizarrely.

Hearts managed to sign good players this year without the lure of European football.

I don’t think the attraction of playing a couple of games in Europe will make much of a difference to attracting players.

When we win the cup and guarantee group stage, European football it might make a bit of a difference. And the guaranteed £3m will help.

But generally, most years, I agree the prospect of playing a couple of qualifiers won’t make much difference.

Calf injuries, presumably a tear, are difficult to heal and tend to recurr, would be a known risk and a fee to boot. I would say no
