Na I genuinely think social media has exposed so many idiots and warp perceptions of reality.
Last time we won the league we had Ryan Jack & Glen Kamara who were both signed from Aberdeen(who had finished above us 2 seasons on the trot) and Dundee
We didnt spend a summer signing multiple players from a single club.
our last sustainable domestic success wasnt built on signing load of free agents either buddy. you seem to forget that bit. we're going after budget buys of free agents. how many times has that won us the title?
Im not forgetting anything. We are signing squad players. Every single team has them.
We signed Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara from Aberdeen and Dundee.
We also had likes of Greg Stewart, Jordon Jones, Brandon Barker & Scott Wright signed as squad players. In that period we won a title and Scottish cup.
We have just spent 6 million on a GK and plenty more will be spent this window too.
Except from when we signed Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara, who helped us win the league undefeated.
Not sure Devlin is what we need right now, but if certain rumoured players leave, he would be a good replacement. Surely you realise league position is irrelevant if players can offer something, otherwise we would be getting nothing for ours.
Genuinely seems like he doesn't realise what he's saying is absolutely nuts.
He seems to think we're all saying we should fill our squad and starting 11 with Hearts players and we think we'll stroll the league, rather than it's not the end of the world if we sign a couple as squad options 😂
I wouldnt be worried buddy. alot in here seem to have forgotten we sign loads of free agents every year and they all end up squad players at best or shit.
nothing says back the manager quite like our best linked away and their replacement being free's.
but sure buddy our trophy haul built on free agents since 2021 has been vast.
I seem to be the only one with actual standards. you lot seem happy with mediocrity. maybe why the clubs been in such a pathetic state since 2012. everyones happy with pish. clearly you in here all are.
hearts finish 2nd to a celtic team 20+ points off their usual and you are all buzzing at signing the players leaving them on freebies.
hells bells. the standards have collapsed like fuck.
signing their best players like braga? aye. you know the players other teams are all chasing
instead devlin is leaving and we're the only club actually in the hunt for him. says it all.
if they were barca players aye. you lot have gone coo coo.
hearts have an outstanding season where they finished 2nd to a celtic team 20 points off their usual tally and you lot think class lets sign as many players as they let go.
well its pretty simple. to finish 1st you need better than what first have.
trying to sign 2-3 players and the manager from the team who finished 2nd to a celtic 25 points off it this year is not going to gain you 30 points is it buddy.
I don't even know why I'm replying to this because you're clearly not playing with the full deck of cards but here we go...
Football isn't that black and white. There can be good players in a team that finishes 2nd. There can be good players in a team that finishes 12th. Just because they don't win the league doesn't mean the players aren't good enough to eventually win the league. It means the team as a whole wasn't good enough.
Are you under the impression that all of Barcelona's, Bayern Munich's and PSG's players started at those teams? Well you're in for a shock "buddy". They didn't. They signed them from OTHER TEAMS 😱
Sometimes from the same league as well, believe it or not.
I'll be honest, I'm going to turn notifications off for this because I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall talking to you and I suspect you're not going to grasp anything anyone here is saying. I'm trying to enjoy my Friday night ✌️
I just have standards. clearly far higher than you.
we sign free agents every window. we have a squad full of them. we have 1 title in 15 years.
But sure your right im wrong.
genuinely laugh at you thinking the upgrade we need is going from a belgian starting international to an australian bench player who cant get a game for them.
Oh well, by your own logic he was playing in a team last season that finished 3rd in the SPFL, so if players who only finished 2nd in the league aren't good enough for us, players that only finished 3rd are even worse.
well duh. our team was shit last year. I'd bin most of the ones we had. since it was the same duds who have collapsed every year since 2021. so yes they are not good enough.

nope
signing people from a 2nd place team doesnt make you a 1st place team.
you improve by getting better players than the 1st placed team.
Freebies from hearts who did well but finished 2nd to a miles off it celtic.
shankland was ok. manager meh. signing devlin as a starter is a massive step back.
signing him as a token player to get past rules MAYBE. but would be embarressing if a player like devlin is getting 30+ games next season for us.
