Said to the Mrs' a few weeks ago that this would no doubt happen :agree:

I'd of had him back at ER in a instant, we're lacking someone with his technical ability and creativity..

Thought this was maybe coming, one of the guys thats sits near me at RP spoke to Kenny before our friendly against Ross County and he said he was interested in signing his son and he was interested in signing for us it was just a case of waiting to see if it was possible.

Could be a decent signing, thought he was pretty good when with yous.

:confused: Have I missed something?

I can't see it mentioned on Sky Sports News, the BBC website or the Kilmarnock website.

I'm not disputing that he has signed for them, it would make sense since his father is the manager but I can't see this at all.

:agree: checked all of the above and the Doncaster site, no mention at all, the only place i've seen it mention is on Pie and Bovril.

Good signing for them if confirmed

Will feel weird seeing Deano playing against us, always really liked him! And you can see whats coming, may aswell stick my next wage on Shiels anytime scorer when we play them :boo hoo:

:agree:

51 starts in two and a half years at Donny Rovers is hardly stuff that will set the heather on fire. We should be aiming for better.

Same here :agree: Loved him when he played for us but that was then and this is now. We've signed our quota of former players for this season (hopefully) so good luck if it proves to be the case that he's signed for Killie

Agogo hasnt played that much in last 2 years at Cypriot and Egyptian clubs, Garry O has hardly played either, Indeed we should be aiming for better however stats wise we havent really signed that much better if at all.

Probably shows the quality we had at the time, that Deano was an in and out player for us. Probably the rose tinted glasses and fond memories and skipping over the inconsistencies, the step overs when a pass was on and a heart that a chicken would scoff at. Still a hero for cleaning out plooky.

:agree: If these rumours are correct then Kilmarnock will have got themselves a cracking signing.

Dean Shiels was a fantastic player for us and I really admired him for getting to the level that he got to in his football career despite his significant disability. I thought he was really inspirational.

If he goes to Rugby Park then I wish him all the best at Kilmarnock, except against us of course.

Call me an old softy but there's so many threads on here just now that have negative elements I thought it might be nice just to concentrate on all of the good things Deano did in a Hibs shirt :agree:

I look forward to the Martin Scott/Lewis Stevenson/Ian Murray etc goals reel. Good luck with that clip. Dean certainly had his faults but he would walk into our current team.

29-07-2011, 10:43 PM

He was an impact player at Hibs who flattered to deceive most of the time. His loss of an eye made him more popular than his footballing skill merited. But I wish him well at Killie

Got frustrated with Deano at times. Had talent, and always tried but was a bit of a headless chicken. Some great memories of him tho, and that pic of him and Garry will forever be remembered

That's about right. Mind one of his latter games was at home to Killie, Mixu's nadir I seem to remember, humped 4-2 by ten men, Dean scored twice but was one of the worst games he'd ever had. Was best for both parties that he moved on. That said, he'd be of use to Hibs just to provide a link between midfield and attack and to spark some, y'know, movement.

Sir David Gray

Good signing for Killie. We have Ivan and Spoony in the right midfield/wing slot so I doubt he would have fitted in unless we played him as an attacking midfielder beyond the stiker(s).

He'll score goals from midfield, something we are lacking. We're lacking attempts on goal at he moment mind you.

With the way Wotherspoon has been playing for the last 18 months, Dean Shiels would be miles ahead of him in the pecking order.

Do you mean the likes of Agogo :rolleyes:. He might have struggled to get into the team when he was here but your kidding yourself on if you don't think he'd walk into our team now.
People can argue all they want about him being an impact player, but can the same not be said about Ivan :dunno:.

Good luck to Deano. At ER he would be a squad player. As he was before...

KWJ

30-07-2011, 12:43 AM

I'd say he's a striker before a midfielder. Some brilliant goals in that collection, his footwork and composure was brilliant.

The_Horde

30-07-2011, 02:20 AM

Loved Deano in his time with us. Wore his heart on his sleeve, scored some quality goals and gave us some superb memories. The Deano we know would definitely be an improvement on anything we have now.

We should, however, be looking to sign the NEXT Deano/Boozy/Zemmama/Killen etc, and not just resigning all the old squad.

All the best at Killie Deano (except against us) and i hope you put a few past that lot at crimecastle and maybe even give us a 'Deano Incident part II'. :not worth

Bostonhibby

30-07-2011, 08:08 AM

No thanks! Shiels was good to begin with but generally mince thereafter.

Seen, and still seeing plenty of world class mince in my time watching Hibs and Dean Shiels ain't in that category, I think we are kidding ourselves on if we think we are somehow better without this type of player or that we have got better or our standards have risen since the time he left. I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

Killie with few of the apparent assetts we have look to be rebuilding quite cleverly. I know who my money will be on to score against us :wink:

'Mince' is the wrong word to use. However, bar the odd glimpse, did he ever play to the level he did in his first season thereafter?!

Good luck to Deano, was a great wee player for us, and put that pansy Gordon on his back. Hope our fans don't revert to booing him at the next Killie game, as is now custom against former players for some window lickers in the east.

:greengrin aye it's a shame that they do tend to get boo'ed just because they've moved on in their careers. Even Stokes I don't think deserves it, but he only got it after scoring I suppose.

Good luck to him at Killie, imo he would walk into our team right now,clever player, great feet and a regular scorer from midfield.very composed in front of goal, in fact seems what weve been lacking for a wee while.i would rather have an inconsistant DS than the consistantly poor midfield of the last season or 2.A headless chicken couldn't score some of the class goals Deano did:agree:

blackpoolhibs

30-07-2011, 12:50 PM

He's one of my favorite players from that good side, sometimes he was poor but he always tried to create. He scored and made some great goals, yes it did not always come off, but he always tried the unexpected.

I'd rather have him than some of the robots we have now.

Said in a thread about former players a few weeks ago that it shows how strong we once were considering we let someone with his ability go for around £60K (I know length of contract remaining was an issue). Scored some fantastic goals for us and had intelligence and great technique.

I believe he would have made a world of difference to us at the moment. Chances of him scoring next weekend? :rolleyes:

I cannot imagine why any Hibs fan would want to boo Dean Shiels.

They have short memories if they do.

30-07-2011, 03:13 PM

He's going there on a 6 month loan so Hibs wouldn't have taken him, even if offered.

Maybe to unsettle the opposition?

Think about when Thierry Henry went back to the Emirates for Barcelona. The home fans cheered for him when he came on and sung his name, but as soon as he got the ball he was booed relentlessly.

Little bit disappointed with him today, didn't seem to keen to pass to people and seemed like he wanted to take the pace out of the attack with constant step overs rather than playing the simple pass or taking on his man.

He was a greedy wee bugger at times when at Hibs so this doesn't surprise me, sometimes it comes off for him and sometimes it doesn't. I'm sure his dad will be able to get the best out of him:agree:, no doubt against us. :rolleyes:

Franck Stanton

30-07-2011, 06:52 PM

Dont care what any other Hibby thinks about Deano, IMO he was a great servant to us and was always a player I enjoyed watching. Wish we had brought him back. Good luck at Killie wee man, have a great season.
