    We need quality in pronto but the links we're getting are hoaching. Wykes, Sviatcenko, Hickey, Boyle....

    If that's the standard we're looking at then you'd be as well handing the title to the huns.

    Miles and miles away from what we need. 6 weeks til our trip to Tynecastle and Ange is sitting at home going through Pedro and Craig Strachan's catalogue of sub £1m players.

    I really like him. Good guy and never has anything bad to say about us, but there's a reason he wasn't starting.

    Fine with it as a stopgap.

    Would be bizarre.

    I like him as a person and don't think he was terrible but my lasting memories of him are that he was slow, injury prone, inconsistent in the air and prone to constant fouling as a result of being too tight to his man to make up for a lack of height and/or pace. And now he's about 3 years older since.

    Not for me.

    * sake if this is true we are in a worst state than I thought and someone on the board must be making these decisions as a head of recruitment or DOF wouldn't be going there .
    It seems the board are tying both hands behind the manager's back and not backing him if this is the kind of signings coming in and a stormy summer ahead for the board if true .

    I liked erik as a player but he was slow as *, he's the opposite of the type of defender we should be looking at if were going to be playing with a high line.

    Everyone sung his praises for ages. Hit a hard patch and never recovered. I'll be fine with this. Put him in place of Duffy last season and we would have faired alot better.

    I would be all for this, if he was a good footballer or defender.
    His lack of pace means he needs at least one of the above.
    His poor reading of the game also requires him to possess at least one.
    His positional sense also means he needs one of them at least

    On second thoughts, he might be “one for the future” if we can address these admittedly “major failings”

    Good to see the scouting system is alive and well.

    The fact that the bar for him seems to be Duffy says it all.

    Got nothing wrong with sviatchenko as a player, lack of pace is not a massive issue, so long as he has learnt to read the game a bit better.

    He's a tidy player, passionate and loves the club.

    Honestly would be fine with him coming back as one of a few needed centre backs.



    But for me, it just signals the lack of scouting, the lack of recruitment within the club.
    And more importantly, that the new manager really is just a continuation of the same *. Players given to him who he will have absolutely zero idea of.
    We won't ever learn, this board is destroying this club.

    Hopefully looking at his team mate, (awer mabil) could do worse than Sviatchenko. He was aggressive and loved a tackle. Still need at least one more, i would take the boy from hibs, Postorious as well.

    Pistorius is probably a better footballer than Porteous anyway.

    Lack of pace is a massive issue if, as seems likely from what I have seen of Yokohama, Ange is going to be playing with a high back line. it's a no from me.
