......I cannae believe people seriously envisage Jim Goodwin as being good enough to take us to where we should be aiming - European football.

We are a mile away from that, what if he helps us on the way, and is descarded after getting us into the top 6?

So you're trying to say that he's a 'clayer' - a combination of clugger (great word) and player?

what if he is a bully and a clugger???

For a 'thug' he's managed to rack up a massive two red cards in his career of not far off 350 games, the last one coming in 2005. So if he is nasty, he's either not very good at it, or it's done in a controlled enough way that he stays within the rules.

He'll fit a role that we need filled, and comes with a good bit of experience. And he's from Ireland too, which I'm sure isn't a factor in Paddy's thinking at all

like when he punched the Motherwell player in the stomach in front of the ref a couple of weeks ago, sure he got done by the compliance officer so he doesn't always keep it with in the rules, .

Dont know if he would want to come to Hibs mind you, he seems to go a bit jelly when he is on the same pitch as Ian Murray.

Right now we're aiming not to get relegated and JG would be a massive help.

One step at a time my friend.

Thats ridiculous given our current situation. Also, whats wrong with having a player like Goodwin in the middle of midfield? Our current midfield is one of the weakest in the league, cant protect the defence for **** and can be all over the place at times. A player like Goodwin is just what we need imo.

Would be a good replacement for Murray IMO

It would have to be as he is s**t scared of Murray.

Jim Goodwin was Victor Palsson's "pal". They were forever at each others throat to try and prove who was the real hard man.

From what he lacked in skill he made up for in fitness and endeavour and might be the sort of character we need right now.

A John Rankin type player????

Is a clugger, mixture of a clogger and a mugger?

I'd say so. Great new word, and exactly describes exactly the sort of player we need in the centre of the park.

I have. And finding space to look good against some of our midfield combinations doesn't make you a good player.
He is first and foremost a thug, and not the kind of player I want at my club.

You would have hated John McNamee back in the 60s, John Blackley would be another one, and Matty Jack too. Goodwin might like to put his foot in, but he can also play a bit. If he's signed and takes us on, i dont think you will complain too much. It takes all sorts to make a TEAM, we dont want it full of nice clean losers.

You express my thoughts exactly, BH. BBJ was the sort of defender other teams hated to play against. As was Sloop, as was Matty J. These were the sort of guys whose presence in the team made it clear that anyone trying to kick OUR guys would be firmly put in his place - on the treatment table, in the physio room, possibly in a plaster cast. Shades was another - perfectly prepared to play football as long as the other lot were too, but if they wanted to play rough, Shades, Big Bad John, Sloop and Matty were more than happy to oblige.

I really like Goodwin and posted this after the st.mirren game at easter rd. I think he is better than just a ball winner tbh. He strolled through the game

against us and does the simple things really well. He is old school in that he is one of these guys that wins the battle then plays football. I think he would

bring something different to the table. He has a wee nasty streak as well and could do the job for us that Ian Black does for Hearts.

Do our changing rooms need painting likes?

[brydekirk]

Would like this guy to sign, Goodwin & a decent CH will insure we are playing SPL football next year.

[IWasThere2016]

Goodwin can play as well as bite.

Would do me - although I'd like to see a CH and creative player this window.

[SneakersO'Toole]

He would fill the role for Hibs that Black is currently occupying for Hearts, rather expertly it must be said.

Wouldn't be surprised if Black was announced as player of the month for December.

Always liked Goodwin , one of the few opposition players I always notice. Think he is a good player with a nasty streak and is a leader , would be quite happy to have him in the team.

[Brooster]

Haha. I was asked on friday what 2 spl players I would like hibs to sighn (within our budget of course). Goodwin was one of my answers.

That's him. I don't knw why I thought he was American.

Was he not playing in the Us, before he signed for the saints?

[down-the-slope]

Agree with HB...the man for the Matty Jack role (would anyone call him just a Clogger )

We have been crying out for lots of things in recent seasons

Ball winner on CM

Passer who can dictate pace of game

100% grafter who never know they are beaten

Leader ON the pitch

he could give us a bit of all of those and I can really see him being a BB type and probably a PF type.....worth a fee this month rather than waiting on a summer pre-contract

Can't see it happening. I fail to see the need for a combative box-to-box midfielder who can pick a pass, protect the defense and has a will to win. There's no place for such time wasters at Hibs. I'd rest easier if we scoured the treatment tables of England to find some guy who hasn't kicked a ball in two years.

Whoops me bad....of course you are correct we need another 21 year old who has yet to make it at a bigger club but has potential to go further than their current favorite plastic couch....and just need some tenderness

[Tyler Durden]

Jim Goodwin is on a par with Paddy Cregg. Smacks of desperation that we'd be interested in this huddy.

Reading this thread, you'd think he was the next Roy Keane. All this "we're in a dog fight" stuff is nonsense. We're looking to win football games, we need players who can pass and create.

Goodwin is p*sh.

It has been revealed today that Hibs have made an offer for St Mirren midfielder Jim Goodwin.
Hibees boss Pat Fenlon contacted Buddies boss and former Hibs midfielder Danny Lennon last week and made an offer.
So far it’s not been revealed if that offer for the 30-year-old midfield hard man has been accepted or not.
If Hibs fail to land the player in January for a fee, it’s thought they will approach the former Celtic youth and offer him a pre-contract agreement, as he is out-of-contract in the summer.
Goodwin has been a revelation since joining St Mirren from Hamilton Accies last January, as has been made club captain at the Paisley club.
The former Stockport County, Scunthorpe United, Oldham Athletic and Huddersfield Town player can play midfield, right back and in the centre of defence, which should appeal to Fenlon, as he looks to bolster his squad at Easter Road.
Goodwin has been capped ay U16, U21, B and full international for the Republic of Ireland, earning his only full cap against Finland in Helsinki.

Haven't really found Hibsmad to be to reliable in the past, imagine this is just stolen of other sites but anyway, make of it what you will..
