Well deserved. Potter will be establishing his Scotland credentials once he signs for Hearts later this week.

Yes. You'll have noticed that although he's a tool, Potter isn't the sharpest tool in the box. He won't know McPake's Scottish until he signs for the yams on Friday.

Why Friday?!

Why Friday?!

Waiting to see how the HunFC situation develops. He figures that if the Huns go down, the yams will follow follow because they've been at the EBT trough as well. Things should be a bit clearer after the BBC documentary on Wednesday evening - if there's no new revelations in that, and any media reaction on Thursday makes the Huns' future seem safe, then YamFC is also safe and he can sign on Friday.

You've claimed the Griffiths and McPake will sign for Hearts next week.

Surely you're at the wind up?

If Levein lets a young talent such as McPake get away when he was bloody well born in Bellshill, he should be taken out the back of Hampden and executed.

He's pursued players like Driver (a quality player, but no solid ties to Scotland other than brief residency) with no real hope on capturing him, but stands to allow a clearly talented young defender to pass him by who was born just along the M8 from Hampden, questions need to be asked.

With McPake now having a Hibee connection then no danger would Potter go anywhere near him, far too busy extolling the virues of Andy webster and anyone else who has ever played (but no always been paid) at the PBS.

[The Green Goblin]

I have also heard that McPake will sign for them later this week. Never post rumours normally, but have heard from 3 different Hibs people who have good sources that this is a real possibility.

[Hibercelona]

As ridiculous as I find the whole "connection" rule, can't really blame McPake for making himself available.

It's the only way he's going to get any recognition on the international front while Craig Leyam is in charge.

[Diclonius]

If McPake signs for Hearts then that will be the final straw for a lot of paying customers.

[carnoustiehibee]

If mcpake signs for hearts then Petrie needs shot.

[Just_Jimmy]

As much as it goes against our way of doing things, I think we have to go public with our offer to McPake. That way if Hearts offer him 10k per week compared to our very top end of say 5k then no one can really complain.

We have to show the fans we made every effort to nail this signing.

According to McPake's missus, they're headed for Dubai on holiday today. I don't think sources get much more reliable than that.

I am a Hibs supporter, not a James McPake supporter.

If he signs for Hearts, I WILL be back.

Fair enough. I'm not going to argue with that. I heard what I thought was enough to justify posting it. However, there's bound to be interest isn't there? And I can't see Hibs doing enough to keep him.

[David@EasterRoad]

Sounds like jambo preston trying to force Rod into making a big offer for Mcpake asap. I want him to sign but if we spend too much on him then it is less money for the other 10 players+ that we need for next season.

No chance griffiths would go there, he already turned them down once and that was when he was on low wages. total nonsense

I reckon hes more likely to go to celtic than hearts if rumours are true but noone knows really as another english team may come in for him over the nxt few weeks but really hibs should have him signed up by now!

If he goes to Celtic it just shows how low the Whole SPL is aiming next year.
McPake in Champions League No where near good enough for that.

Wonder if PF has been singing his praises to certain people over the water?

[VickMackie]

Has Liam Miller signed for Hearts yet?
