Welcome to Episode Twenty of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.In this episode, Alastair and Euan change from their usual podcast style and instead have an episode that focuses on player contracts, incomings and outgoings. Due to the club having 10 current first team players out of contract at the end of the season, the episode is dominated by debate over certain individuals in relation to whether we would extend their deal or not. The 3 loanees: Cochrane, Woodburn & Moore are also assessed. Potential outgoings are briefly touched upon, with a few individuals clearly heading for the exit door. Whereas Hearts have already officially announced their first January transfer, an Australia that goes by the name of Nathaniel Atkinson. The boys provide a low down on him and give an insight on what he will hopefully bring to Tynecastle. Another player rumoured to be joining Hearts is Japanese striker Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa, like Atkinson the boys provide an (more brief) overview of what we might be getting should the deal materialise.  The episode finishes by having a look at the pre-contract options for Hearts across the Scottish Premiership with a few names standing out as potential options. The lack of rumours circulating within the media made name picking certain players in this section very difficult!Player contracts - 4:02 to 48:15Assessing the 3 loanees - 48:16 to 59:10Outgoings - 59:11 to 1:01:55Nathaniel Atkinson - 1:01:56 to 1:08:47Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa + other striker related chat - 1:08:48 to 1:17:36Other incomings -1:17:37 to the endAs always, we hope that you have enjoyed this episode and noticed a difference in using new mics (although I have covid so did sound quite blocked at times).

Hello and Welcome to Episode Eleven of the Talkin' Tynie Podcast.In this episode, Alastair and Euan start by dissecting and reviewing last Saturday's extremely disappointing defeat to Raith Rovers, where Hearts lost 3-2. In particular, they assess the teams performance in the defensive phase in order to get a better understanding as to why the team are leaking goals. Specifically, the role of Craig Halkett is scrutinised as he quite often escapes a lot of criticism in comparison to Berra and Popescu.We move on to talk about our manager Robbie Neilson, naturally after poor performances and results, the manager's future is talked about on social media and fan forum sites. We debate whether he is under pressure and whether he should be under pressure. We also discuss whether his apparent blind loyalty to certain players is hindering him, and whether the next 2 matches are must wins not just for the title push but also for his future? We end this topic by talking about the level of responsibility that the players have got to take. Are they letting him down?The next topic of discussion is the Raith game v2, this time we travel to Kirkcaldy on Tuesday evening (tonight when uploaded). We debate what changes Robbie Neilson has to make; tactically, formation and personnel. We also give our score predictions for this must-win fixture for Heart of Midlothian.The last main topic of this episode is the discussion of new number 9, Armand Gnanduillet (surname pronounced: Nan-Dwee-Leh). The signing only broke a couple of hours before recording this episode, but that was enough time to do an Austin MacPhee and scan through YouTube videos. We give our (very) initial thoughts on the big man and attempt to predict what he will bring to Hearts. Throughout the podcast we give our opinions on other areas of the team that are required to be improved upon before the deadline at 11pm on February the 1st. Another Joe Savage masterclass occurred during the middle of last week and we give our thoughts on Stephen Kingsley's contract extension to finish the episode.As always, we hope you enjoy this episode.

However, they do turn their attention to the most recent match, where Hearts beat Alloa 3-1 to create a seven point gap at the top of the Championship.What looks like to be one of the best bits of business that Hearts have done in the recent years is the arrival of Joe Savage who officially took over as Sporting Director in early January and has had a very positive start, despite only being in the job a couple of weeks.The boys discuss a number of decisions that have been made by himself, the club and Robbie Neilson with specific focus on Michael Smith's new contract, the signing of Gary Mackay-Steven and the departure of Olly Lee.

Discuss"Their answers lead to a chat about the clubs recruitment, as they mention every single player (136) who have played for the club under Budge's regime.

They include some potential new players that they would like see join the club, and also name those who they would like to see leave.The final main topic is the Hearts youth academy, that has a national reputation but does it not produce enough?
