Best of luck to the lad. I like him, but I couldn't see him coming back after those howlers.

I liked him also. Very good keeper with one flaw unfortunately. Still not sure it couldn’t be coached out of him by a decent coach.

I agree, the guy is a very good shot stopper and great distributor of the ball, the fact that he didn't improve with cross balls says more about the coaching than the player imo.

Feel a bit sorry for Kuch, but his confidence was gone and needed a fresh start.  Wouldn't be surprised if he eventually makes us some money from sell-ons.

Great bit of business. An experienced GK who can’t catch crosses is embarrassing. He isn’t 17 and learning the most basic bits of being a keeper. BBC stats showed he was an average shot stopper for the league.

Alnwick was a good keeper at St Mirren. If we get that guy back it would be a great signing.  Would also be delighted with either of hearts 2 backups.

If we loan Stirton it is a shambles. He has been on loan and done well already. Even if we plan to sign another striker it will mean we are planning to give 2 shite strikers who will be gone in the summer game time ahead of a promising Scottish talent. He turns 19 this month, so I wouldn’t even say that young any more.

 
Stirton isn't ready to lead the line, be realistic. I hope we sign someone who is.

Good luck to Kuch.

No seeing the great rush to sign a goalie.
For me another striker is urgent.
Watters is shite.
Moller a damp squib.
Dolcek wants back to the Balkans.
Between SCH Kereztes Iovu Barista and the shoehorned options of Sevelj / Naamo/ Stephenson we've enough at the back.
Support for Supsford is what we need

Agreed, Shakey.

I'd like to see a new Keeper signed this window, don't get me wrong, but without a Striker to put the ball in the net we will achieve nothing this season.

Our problems this season have all been at the back not up front. The reason we are not sitting much higher in the table is our calamity keeper and calamitous defence. We've scored goals regularly but thrown away countless winning positions, a new striker isn't going to fix that.

Both have been our problems.

Watters hasn't scored a goal since July. Moller hasn't scored a goal at all.

Stirton is off to Airdrie until the end of the season

If we do that before we sign a Striker then i despair.

I'd be looking at moving Moller on this window and Watters cannot be trusted to stay fit (not that he offers much when he is).

People keep saying Stirton isn't ready, but he 100% would have done better than Moller in his 16 appearances if he had the luxury of getting such a run of games himself.

It's also rather moronic that Stirton could have been at Airdrie and had a run of games since October. What was the point of keeping him as 'cover', never playing him, and then putting him on loan after he starts and does 'ok'?



 

 

100% to all points. I do believe a striker is done and dusted but totally agree on Stirton.

I’d cancel the loans of Moller and Watters right now

Stirton is not ready to start ahead of Watters or Moller (he was fine at Livi but largely ineffective).  Neither Watters or Moller are what we need in the lead the line striker.  I'd ditch one if we can if we can find someone better for that role.  I'm OK with Stirton getting more game time and also OK with him going on loan if that means more game time, but he's not ready to be the main man.  I think a loan would work best to be honest.  The lad Barney Stewart (21) has just done 6 months at Dunfermline and scored goals and developed.  He's been recalled for the second half of the season.  Stirton is still only 18.  He's got time.  Pushing him now is not the right thing in my opinion.

 Watters was injured for a large part of that but he did score a few goals in a short space of time before that so there is definitely something there,but people are not giving him any chance to recover fitness and form before dismissing him as a haddie. Regardless of that though, as I said already,it's a fact that if we hadn't conceded so many soft and often ridiculous goals then we'd be sitting way higher in the table and our goals for column wouldn't even be up for debate

The likelihood would be that you would get Ferguson along with Billy Dodds and the all-knowing tactical oracle: Neil McCann.

Good news, we've avoided Dodds and McCann

Bad news, we're only getting Ferguson

I might be wrong, but did we not buy Moller outright.

Apologies yes! 3 years of that. Deary me

Jamestown analytics has Kerestzes on hearts radar. Seen his agent this morning giving it the usual to the press about how everyone wants him.

Seen that also and that KK says he doesn't know if he will be in Scotland or elsewhere - in June he said "I want to stay at United longer than agreed"

What the hell has gone so wrong with our squad in 6 months??

Supposedly on Hearts radar, if he thinks he can earn more elsewhere he's not going to commit to us despite us having already agreed a fee with his parent club.
