Loan Moves From FBK Kaunas
Loan moves from Romanov's Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas to Hearts have proved controversial in Scottish football. The comparatively large number of such loans is seen by some as a bending of the loan transfer rules. Loan transfers from clubs outside Scotland are automatically exempt from the limitation on signing players on loan. Reaction to the influx of Lithuanian players amongst Hearts supporters has been mixed, with several being booed for perceived poor performance and the perception that they receive preferential treatment. In contrast, others such as Andrius Velička (Hearts top scorer in 2006-07) and Marius Žaliūkas became established important first team players.
