ray@ladymercedes Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 they better keep their filthy fucking hands of diamond.I believe JC has stated that he would turn down any offers, unless they were in the region of 5m. Too fucking right. I just don't get why Walter Smith picks Webster ahead of Anderson, but hopefully when Pressley hangs up his boots they'll ditch Webster and bring in Anderson and Diamond. Or even better - a Scotland back 4 consisting of McNaughton, Anderson, Diamond and Hart.Ok so I took it too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Hearts fan, I would drop Pressley out of the Scotland squad before Webster. Pressley isn't the player he was two years ago, he's lost a yard of pace and is waaaay to niggley nowadays. Webster is a superb defender, who's proven himself time and time again, and I'd have him in my team long before I'd have Diamond. Anderson before Pressley however is a different matter (I reckon *if (and I seriously hope not)*, Webster heads Rangers-wards, Anderson will be a Hearts player before the end of the transfer window).As for our season, three weeks ago, I secretly had us pegged for the drop. Having seen the players we've brought in however, I believe we'll be challenging certainly for third, and possibly second. If you look at the pedigree, Jankauskas is on paper (and from the evidence so far, on the field) the best striker in the SPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Anderson wouldn't move to hearts at this point in time, even if JC was willing to sell him. Aberdeen are not going to let their captain and the heart of their defence move to Hearts for anything except a truly ridiculous offer. Aside from that Anderson is a Don through and through, is the team captain and has a contract until 2008. If he was to move I imagine it would be up a level not sideways. At the moment Hearts are at the same level as Aberdeen (if that, there is an element of doubt over them this season with all the changes recently, while Aberdeen are on a rising high) and I just can't see him making that kind of move.

Last season we were piss poor (probably the worst I've seen in the last 7 or 8 seasons), and we were still only 8 points off yourselves at the end of the season. This season, we've brought in a much higher calibre of player, and they seem to have gelled straight from the off. As I said before, Jankauskas will score for fun in the SPL. Aberdeen's only signing of any note - and granted, it's an excellent signing - is Barry Nicholson. Still got the usual no prolific striker problem, I'd wager.and I just can't see him making that kind of move.In sober hindsight, neither can I. I suspect Burley would be looking to bring someone of the same or better quality in from abroad, for considerably less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray@ladymercedes Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Weird. Anderson will be a Hearts player before the end of the transfer window).That's never gonna happen. The dons are trying to build a squad around the likes of Anderson, Diamond, Severin etc so there's no chance of letting our captain go to another Scottish club.

Indigo_Soul Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I went over to holland to watch their pre-season games. severin, nicholson and considine all got pass marks, the rest were pretty dire. Dont get your hopes up too much with lovell, he was a big blouse on his debut, and i dont think he'll last long. i agree with 4th place this season. the dons are still not ruthless enough to finish in the top 3. but anhoos...c'mon the dandies!!

I think the boys were in shock after theearly goal. We can all blame McNaughton for his poor backpass which was too short, but don't you think they should just stop the kick-off routine of kicking the ball as far up the left hand side as possible. It's something they've done since the days of Ebbe Skovdahl and has never led to a goal. So ask yourself, what is the point? All it seems to do is waste possession or lead to mistakes which cost goals. I was very impressed with Smith and Nicholson. The link up play down the right was a pleasure to watch at times. Lovell showed good strength, but isn't fit enough to last 90 minutes. The thin that annoys me most is how they try to walk the ball into the net. Therer were so many chances inside the box that were squandered and even from 20 yards, surely they should be having a pop from there. The shot of the match was from Smith and was about 20-odd yards out. Unless the dons show a bit more confidence going forward, it's going to be a miserable season. But we're only 2 games into the new season so there's still hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
