So... any good, is he?  ???

 

Scored 19 goals in 47 league games for Hearts between 2006 and 2008 but since then has only managed 9 league games 4 goals for Huns and Bristol due to injuries.

 

If we can keep him fit then I think he is a decent signing however the keeping him fit bit seems to be the problem.

Although my disgust at this deal still remains, it is nothing personal against Velicka, so on that grounds welcome to the good ship AFC.

Can't however see him being given much time to win folk over, so need to hit the ground running

Surely we'll go 2 up front now?  We've got more strikers than Arthur Scargill had at his peak.

Genius Kow

 

Unless the new masterplan is to play 3-4-3

 

If so mine would be

 

                  Clangers

          Zander  Ifil    Considine

    Pawlett  Zico  Folly    Aluko

      Maggenis  Velicka    Bebo

 

Actually when you look at that i could see a lot of goals getting scored, theres def a balance to that side.  Still 5 defensive minded players if you (as you would assume if this was played) that hartley and folly would sit as holding players and protect the back line so not as fragile as a you would think with three at the back

 

Thoughts?

89 goals in 166 for Kaunas

19 in 47 for Hearts

6 in 18 for Viking

4 in 8 for the huns

 

those are appearances as opposed to starts

 

long time since we've signed someone with that ratio

 

doesn't matter how many so called forwards we have on the books, how many of them will get near to 10 goals in a season? Good business getting Velicka

 

and the chat about always being injured - it's just the one bad injury, not a history of them (a bit like the mythical 'Pawlett is really injury prone')

I'll give you the postive goalscoring record, but there must be something about being injury prone, otherwise how else do you explain that according to those stats, despite being six years older that Foster, he has only played pretty much the same amount of first team games ???

was he not simply a 'late starter' before doing anything decent? he signed for them when in his teens but never made the breakthrough to play regularly

 

he was punted out by FBK twice already before the Hearts loan

Webster was "injury prone" before going to the arabs and having a very good season.

 

As bb says, welcome aboard! Hope your country get pumped tonight though. I should temper any of this by saying our medics are not well known for being good at keeping injury prone players playing regularly.

Its okay, I'm sure we gave him a very thorough medical.  Oh wait...  :doh:

 

Dinnae worry Kow, apparently we got faxed a medical.  ::) (Dinnae think tippex would show up?!  :-\ )

 

If fit, could be great signing. Still baffling though wi regards defence. Foster passed mair balls to opposition than team mate, but having 4 x CH in defence wi nae back up if injured is just crazy!
