We will never know since nothing was offered Mr Beefster.

The china deal came along and he took that end of story really.

Silver, do you know if Derek was asked by the club what he was looking for financially at any stage prior to him leaving 2nd time around?

We should be focused on bringing new faces to Easter Road, players that will give us a better balance and shape, we need to move on instead of pinning our hopes on one individual who talented as he is wasn`t the same player second time around.

Thanks for a common sense post

Yes DR will score goals for Killie , probably against us, but in the wider picture should we not be accepting he left of his own accord to better himself and/or to get away from trouble which seems to follow him.

Aye we're well shot right enough. Rooted in the bottom two and cannae score for toffee yet some numpties are turning their noses up at a player that's scored in excess of 100 goals in this league. Deary me.

The numpties don't have any choice in the matter, it's the manager who has the say so.

I'd be fine with that if:

a) He wasnae better than we have (but he is)
b) We werenae in a hole (but we are - thus we need players better than we have)
c) He wasnae a match-winner (but he is)

Deek on record as saying he thought SPL was stale and he wanted a fresh challenge..... What makes anyone think he would resign for us or any other SPL side for that matter?

So I'm a numpty because i think we need fresh faces in the team? Sean get a grip pal. Respect other people's opinions as most folk are doing.

Deary me, calling your fellow supporters numpties...... I for one don't want DR to resign, and I was attending matches before you were born, guess Im a numpty

Second spell at hibs.

First season top goal scorer.

Second season, second top goal scorer after Stokes and Deek played LM and got 17 goals and about 12 assists and helped the club get in to Europe.

Third season, started of well had a poor second half to the season but still finished top goal scorer.

Kinda says it all for me.

Statistics and hard facts will always hold more value than someones opinions.

Hope it works out for him if he does end up at Killie.

Pat Fenlon's a numptie?

That quote was at least 6 months ago.

Perhaps for him the grass isn't greener on the other side?

Players and managers talk out their erse, its practically written into their contract. So do some fans.

Cheers, couldn't see any quotes from anyone there that he is signing to the end of the season with Killie.

Seems KS was impressed with Derek in his first day of training though.

***SRHibs*** · 10-01-2012 11:47 AM

Wouldn't want him back, and Killie are welcome to him - I'm almost certain he'll be a resounding failure there. Hibs are his boyhood heroes and he didn't exactly come across as the most enthusiastic player in his time here. Can't imagine he'll be the most motivated player in the world, and now that he's lost his pace, I don't think he'll be terribly hard for defences to deal with.

Good luck to him though.

***degenerated*** · 10-01-2012 11:51 AM

I predict a 10 pager with smurf hoping he scores the winner against us in the cup, tqm blaming it on Petrie/Lindsay only being willing to offer 3 and sixpence a week with a bit of coal as a signing on fee, silverhibee posting loads of winking smilies

and joe baker II demanding the next cup game being played at murrayfield.

Time for us all to move on, riordan was a fantastic player for hibs but is no longer here. The club don't seem to want him and the player said himself he was bored with spl football.

Lets give whoever fenlon does sign and the ones already here who do play the same support deek gets and we'll improve no end

Where did you hear that about, oh yeah right The Sun.

So it's not likely then?

I don't believe for a minute that he's just down there to train, I'm sure there's other clubs closer to where he stays that would have offered training facilities if that's all he was looking for surely

Of course that is true, but his weekly wage was massive in China, if he had stuck it for a year or so, he would have been financially sound, maybe money is not an issue for him, and wants to return back to Scotland after all...

Unbelievable !!! typical over reaction as per usual on here ...do hibs want him ?..has Fenlon publicly shown an interest in re-signing him ? ..if no why are you spouting the ****ing numpties pish ?

As soon as Riordans name is mentioned on here its the usual ...

....

.....

I doubt we'll offer THAT much! PETRIE!!!

If you were funny you would make a good comedian...

Of course I hope he doesn't score the winner against us if he lined up against us. However, if he's read some of the nonsense written on here against him, you couldn't blame him, if he was highly motivated to do so...

I don't know for certain but that team perhaps wanted shot of him. They have went out and signed Anelka and are in the market for Drogba so perhaps they were keen to punt him anyway?

Happy for you Derek. Killie are a good club and I'm sure Kenny Shiels will give you a chance there to show some of the undoubted natural talent you clearly have.
Celtc ruined you son IMO and you were never the same player after your spell in Glasgow. Hope you can learn to enjoy your football again . You might go on to bigger and better things but always remember youre one if us. No-one can take Hibernian out of the boy.

All the best Deeks !

One more thing.... Can you feign injury before every Hibs match.??
You really wouldnt enjoy scoring against us -particularly at Eastet Road.

He enjoyed it enough when he was at Ceptic.

If Deeks wants to sign for someone outside the SPL, he should wait a few months and then sign for us.
