According to someone at Hearts (I know!) his first 3 requests were knocked back by the players instantly.

Aye but not everyone likes to start the morning off with 3 pints of lager and a tequila slammer.

St endel looking to sign 5 players this window including 2 currently playing at Barnsley. From bbc gossip

Barnsley duo Mamadou Thiam and Jordan Green have been targeted by Hearts as Daniel Stendel looks to make his first signings at Tynecastle. (Daily Record)

Hearts are targeting five new arrivals before the end of the month as manager Daniel Stendel strives to reinforce his squad. (Edinburgh Evening News)

Given the 6 he’s ‘released’ it’ll be interesting to see how many he will get in. Can’t imagine two players with contracts in the championship will come cheap or will come up here at all.

Looking at the Barnsley forum their fans seem to want to drive the two players up to Tynecastle themselves

They'll be panicking now. Hes already told numerous other players they can go and the ones he hasnt are unimpressed with the way hes gone about it with some (Berra). They either get 2nd choice and potentially more 2nd rate trash in like they already have, or will need to turn back to the players hes already dismissed as pish.

12 days until they play Ross County in what is their biggest game in years and no sign of any new signings and 6 players told they are no longer wanted. Stendel appears to be doing a fantastic job.

Hearts biggest game of the 2010's decade was in February 2016 and they failed to stop Hibs winning the Cup, thereby losing their song book and any feel good factor

19 yr old striker from Wolfsburg as well according to the herald also still under contract

He plays for a side in a Wolfsburg strip but in the Regionalla Nord (whatever that is?) League.

I would imagine Jamie-Lee Napier is probably closer to playing in Chelsea's 1st team than this boy is to Wolfsburg's

To be fair they may argue the 2012 final was more important?

Players are injured by coaches or in games not by laying on a bed in the physio room. Budge really is clueless. Levein was the reason for the injury issues.

In what way? Is it true he had them running up and down murder hill at Gullane beach? If so that seems pretty unusual in this day and age and would assume most sports scientists would advise against that. Was wondering when Levein got any medical expertise to be reviewing what may have gone wrong in that area. Again seems strange for any football person to be tasked with this.

Crazy when you think abou it. Can't help but feel Hearts fans bring it on themselves.

They wanted Neilson gone when they were 3rd.
They wanted Cathro gone and Levein reinstated.
They wanted Levein gone as they thought it was bad under him.
They've now ended up with Daniel Stendel who can't buy a win when they all wanted Neil Warnock and are all frantically backtracking and talking in German to each other etc. Strange lot

Yes he did. And he also played people who weren’t fit. Training full on when not fully warmed up. That’s how players get injured. First half hour of any session should be warm ups and dynamic stretching. Last half hour should be the same. Then man is from a different time. Double sessions. Nothing but running?? Clueless

It’s incredible that their obsession with being the “big team” put them into this mess.

They get knocked out of the cup by us and hound out Robbie. First bad managerial decision sees Cathro appointed and they replace him with Levein who systematically tears them to shreds by signing dross and journeymen. They finish behind us in the league two years running so it’s time for a change again and they appoint a man who hasn’t won in nearly half a season.

All because of being knocked out of the cup in 2016.

3 players he wanted to sign. They had a German lad in for a trial too but thats not going anywhere.

Springbank, are you for real? We would all swap 2016 for 2012, lets not kid ourselves. 2016 has gone a LONG way to erasing the pain, but a SC cup replay isn't close to being their biggest game of the 2010's.

Good, that will mean they are pretty bad players, Thiam has 6 months contract left so he would probably let go for nothing or can sign a pre-contract. Green on the other hand has 18 months left on his contract and would command a fee, whether their fans like him or not. I really hope they have to pay for both

Could be promising.

Stendel obviously has contacts everywhere and they're obviously getting loads of benefits from their various expensive directors of whatever.

2 rejects and an untried kid all from Stendels previous clubs.

See they are hanging their relegation battle goal scoring on the potential arrival of a 19 year old german who’s played under 25 league games. Most of which are in the German fourth tier.

This Stendel guys a hoot.

I think they would no doubt point to 2012 as their highlight of the decade, however the game that has far and away had the biggest impact on them from the last decade was undoubtedly February 2016.

Keena has left them for Hartlepool. Had 6 month left on his contract so doubt they got a fee for him. Still no players in. Has Herr Stendel discovered its not that easy to persuade footballers to come to Scotland and play for a team 5 points adrift at the foot of the table? So that 3 out confirmed and 0 in.

Its all speculation, remember when we wanted Doige out before we got a new manager?
Its the same over there, the manager is culling players who don't fit in his plans, the ones he keeps will be playing the way he wants or they will be away as well!!
Some of their players given a fair chance, will step up to the mark, but not sure it will be enough to save them!!!!!

This is where the challenge now lies for them. If they recruit well they'll finish the season well and will probably be 7th or 8th.

If they recruit the wrong players they're back to square 1, if they can't recruit them then they need to complete the season with a front line of MacLean, Ikpeazu and youngsters previously deemed only suitable to loan out to lower league clubs.

It's proper knife edge stuff that could go either way. Everything about what they're doing will see them either start next season in a strong position or finish this one with one of the worst points totals in recent years.

Levien still very much involved.

5 years in and it seems she's only now realising the recruitment side of things, the medical side and the academy aren't good enough. She therefore gives Levein the job of sorting them.

Absolutely for real.

Let's not kid ourselves on.

They should have had the cup fnal of the decade moment in 2012.

But every poll as the decade closed (nationwide) had Hibs 2016 last minute winner v Rangers as THE moment of the decade in Scottish football.

Their 2012 *should* have been the last word.

But sadly (for them) it led instead to going bust, relegation and then failing to stop Hibs winning the Big One.

I occasionally glance at their forums. Losing in 2016 hurt them more than winning in 2012 was enjoyable to them (at least the majority).

Song book - gone
Feel good - gone
Pressure - to the max

Our cup woes meant more to many of them than their own successes, so that's why I would say their biggest game of the last 10 years (in terms of impact on their club and its psyche) was in Feb 2016.

Happy to accept others will take a different view, but in my opinion it has cast a lonnnggggg shadow over Gorgie, one that's still very much there.

They were ****ed anyway whether they carried on spending in 2012 or not. Everyone knew it at the time which is why it was such blatant cheating. Oh well.

There is a strip on the wall of the Diggers, as a memorial to a Hearts fan that sadly died in 2012. The number on the back is 110. I doubt he was the only one that thought that way.
