I would still keep him though as he is the best we have when fit and he was part of that cracking side that saved us and got us promoted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I also replied to Ulysses that his version was probably more accurate , or did you miss that ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like MacKenzie, but I worry about his injury record, and I have a feeling that premiership forwards would prey on his lack of pace, like our current CH's. We definitely need a premiership quality CH that can slot into our defence immediately. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to get at you or do an injustice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the speed this guy is going to move at we are going to need someone with the pace of Usian Bolt alongside him to cover his endless mistakes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buddies1877 2,062 Report post Posted July 22, 2018 We badly need minimum 2 wingers and 2 strikers as we currently have no wingers at the club. Smith and Mullen are no10s playing behind the striker they have no pace to play out wide. Cooke looks like a downgrade from Ross Stewart and king looks like a downgrade from hippolyte. Hope We manage to get players in this week in time for the Dundee game. I think Stubbs was hoping to get mikey Johnstone in from Celtic last week but for Celtic to decide to wait for now. With other premiership teams struggling in the league cup I don’t think we are alone in being behind in putting together a decent squad aswell 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason to offload him when the recruits are so poor. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coulson is a winger. Maybe push him forward, bring back Eck to LB and get Cammy more central. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe push him forward, bring back Eck to LB and get Cammy more central.He’s a left back and looks like he’s brought in to play left back.I think he would suit us much better playing further toward as he the only one with the ability to run at people and beat them.Doesn’t look like eck will be coming back into the squad 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't seen him mentioned/featuring in any Hearts games recently. Liam was a Jack Ross signing. New manager has his own plans. In fact, when you think about, with Jack signing Paul McGinn, he maybe already accepted that there was no chance of getting Smith back. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No point in having a decent player if he is sitting in the stands most weeks.Did he start the other 14 games, there were a good few games where he was an unused sub as Davis and Baird were both playing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
