Icons, flops and a little bit of the middle ground - it all features in an expensively assembled Hearts XI.
A six-figure fee has been spent by the Jambos on Kenneth Vargas, as his loan move from CS Herediano is made permanent on a five-year deal. He will form a key part of Steven Naismith's plans moving forward but it's far from the first time Hearts have splashed cash on talent.
From club icons to the topsy-turvy days of the Vladimir Romanov era, the Tynecastle side have had mixed results when it comes to big fees on players. Some would leave without much of a trace while others remained to become stalwarts and write their name into maroon history.
The Edinburgh Evening News takes a look at who fits into the expensive Hearts XI. Using a 4-4-2 formation, the only stipulation is a player can only move forward or back one space. For example, a striker could not play right-back.

9. LM: Juho Mäkelä (£500K)
Moving the forward out left. He didn't do much to justify the half-million they handed HJK Helsinki. Best remembered for scoring against Barcelona in a pre-season friendly. | SNS Group

10. ST: John Robertson (£625K)
Didn't too badly for himself at Hearts... best known for his two spells in maroon, totalling about 18 years, where he is the club's all-time leading goalscorer. Robertson earned the moniker "The Hammer of Hibs" as he scored a record 27 goals in Edinburgh derbies v Hibs. A brief stint at Newcastle was sandwiched between his maroon stints. Photo: Third Party

11. ST: Iain Ferguson (£350K)
Equalled the club-record transfer fee in 1988. All worth it for that strike against Bayern. Photo: SNS Group
