If Nish goes I think it will become evident what he brought to the team in his absence. Not everyone's cup of tea but his assist and goal record at Hibs is pretty decent.

I agree. The man is an embarrassing mess and not easy on the eye, but the paradox is that he's one of the most effective players in the Scottish game.

Even if you play the prettiest football around, there are times when you need a big huddy to mix(u) it up front.

I agree, although that huddy has to be able to stay upright most of the time, he also needs to know the rules regarding the off side rule. If we could sign a big huddy who knew how to do these 2 basic things, then i'd for one be in favour of us getting him.

Colin did well the last two games. Unfortunately to date he lacked a strike partner who was fast enough to make the runs into the channels.

In the Gary O'Connor days that man was Deek. These days whilst Riordan is far and away our best striker in dead ball situations he has lost much of his pace. One feeble attempt to go round his man on the left wing confirmed that on Saturday to the away support. However his 2 fantastic goals on Saturday secured his place in the team, probably on the left wing.

Stokes on the other hand is the ideal striker to play off a target man. I think that Nish and Stokes will be an ideal partnership in the season ahead.

[MyJo]

I don't actually mind Nish and I think he is a decent player but for every goal he scores he squanders 2 opportunities and his inability to stay onside causes so many attacking moves to break down that its just not funny.

He gives us an option up-front but if I'm being honest its an option I think we could live without, wouldn't be too fussed if this went through and good luck to him if he wants to try his luck in the championship

You've taken that too far! I wouldn't compare Lee Power to Nade!

I think we now have plenty forwards at the club and Nish will eventually find himself 4th choice so, take the cash if it's being offered. However, I will temper that by saying, of the forwards you listed, one is totally untried at 1st team level or even the reserves, one was shocking last season and never scored a single goal in half a season with us and one was public enemy number 1 until a week ago.

Whatever you think of the big man, he's one of us. If he is to leave I hope he is a success, if stays I'll be quite happy because he will contribute again this season.

Don't see the need for your post either. Ok, he's not the easiest on the eye but he does what it says on the tin. As many people will acknowlege, he's scored goals, held the ball up and had a fair share of assists. I've already said on another post that, playing in the front line we have now, highlights any shortcomings he has, but he's an honest player that gets his head down and doesn't go in the huff when things aren't going for him.

Hibs answer to Nade my hoop, Hearts would bite our hands off if we offered him to them for probably any of their front line.

[Ritchie]

[aberhibsfc]

Sell him,

I appreciate he's a Hibby and he's a staturesque player up front. At best he's a 10 a season player. I'd rather persevere with Riordan, Stokes, Benji, JJ & Byrne.

Hughes must rate him though as he's played the first two games with Riordan being subbed. The best way to see how much we'd miss him is to see Hibs play without him, if the attack is worse for it then fair enough. Personally I just don't think he offers that much to the team. It really makes you hanker back to the times of a strong striker who can also bag goals, Keith Wright and more recently Killen. It's fine to have big strikers but they have to score goals or at least offer a threat and create opportunities for others.

[rightwinger]

Nish is a huddy but our strikeforce would be very lightweight without him.

For a so-called targetman, he's not the best at holding the ball up and tends to fall over an awful lot but he does put in a good shift up front, unlike the majority of our other more luxury-type forwards. He's also useful for defending set-pieces, particularly in the absence of Jones.

He scores a few goals and on Saturday won us the free-kick for our third goal. I felt that his link-up play with Stokes also improved as the game went on.

If Hughes and Petrie are happy with him leaving then fine, but I don't think he's necessarily a player we should be shoving out the door. Huddy or not, we don't have an abundance of hard-working 6ft 3in forwards.

Not for the first time, I think its a case of our favourites not quite being as effective as we think and our huddies not quite being as bad as we sometimes say either.

[hibeemarley]

I say keep him.

We all know he isn't the greatest and a bit of a lump but he does score and he does get assists, which is more than I can say for JJ

For all we know Benji and JJ could be away sooner rather than later, that would leave us with Riordan, Stokes and an untried laddie. Heaven help us should we get a suspension or injury.

Nish is unpredictable and probably isn't good enough for where we are hoping to be but the one thing in his favour over any of our forwards is he helps defend set pieces. With the lack of height in our team this seems to be a point all the Nish bashers have overlooked.

[euro Hibby]

Got the full 90 minutes reply of the game on TV here in Italy and was like all happy with the result but not with the rest. A lot of high balls into the box and thats because its an easy option if you aim them at Nish. Whether he is able to control the ball is another story. This said he works hard and I agree he will get his 10 goals in the season. As regards Byrne, I have not seen him so don't know if he is similar or better. In Yogi we trust, at least for now !

Yep, I'm not a big Nish fan but the difference with ( a half match fit ) Stokes running the channels off him was apparent on Saturday. I posted previously that biggest difference with Deeks now was his loss of that vital yard of pace & that hopefully he'll compensate elsewhere & he certainly did that at weekend.
