Merging of players (bit of fun)

[hibspayne]

When i was a wee boy and started attending hibs games my favourite player was Keith Houchen he was a tall number 9. Then a few years later we signed Paul Wright at this point I like Paul thought he was a nippy forward and really annoyed the opposition. I always remember when we signed him on the news about the signing they kept going on about his wonderful free kick ability to drill them along the ground and under the jumping wall.

Anyway I always said to my old man back then we need a striker with Houchen's ability in the air and Wrights skill on the ground.... and low and behold we signed Keith Wright a merging of 2 players into one....

So keen to hear from all on here what 2 players would you put together to make the hibs player you would want!!! I was worried for a while we might sign Joe Orr but then the ball would never of left the centre centre :)

Deeks & Ivan.

Unstoppable.

[wearethehibs]

Colin Nish mixed with Alan O'Brien would be unstoppable.
Blistering pace, work ethic, great first touch and sublime finishing.

The right side of Riordan and the left side of Griffiths

Said player would be running in circles, clockwise

[Billychaotic182]

Brian Kerr and Jimmy Scott......

[Smartie]

John Rankin and Chic Charnley.

All the natural talent in the world, great attitude and work rate and a guaranteed goal from the halfway line every week.

She is a wee darling yes, and also has more native ability than any of our current squad, maybe even more than the golden youth guys too.

Edit: She has also been named MVP in the U.S...quite a thing for a former Hibs Ladies player.

[Greencore]

Lawrie Reilly + Leigh Griffiths. 💚💚

Goram and Burridge. Some keeper and would be fun to watch......as mad as a box of frogs

The question was which 2 players would you merge into one not 3.

I didn't think Nishy was that fast.

Haha yup my mistake.

[portyhibernian]

Sauzee and Rob Jones

[Squealing pig]

Lewis Stevenson and riordan , imagine deek with a work rate. ..scary

[Coults1875]

Probably going to get shot down here but

Malonga & Sproule

Malonga for his touch and finishing and Sproule for his pace, commitment and going at players not stop all game.

I seem to recall the results when Riordan upped his "workrate" as many seemed to demand. He scored less goals, was out of position but heyho, could be seen running all over the pitch.

Nope. I wouldnt go for that combo. I liked Riordan when he was battering in goals a plenty (when many deemed him lazy yet he was our top scorer and setting the place on fire....annnyyyyyway)

Maybe combining Riordan with Griffiths as been suggested and for good measure, Sauzee with someone like Yogi...can you imagine the interviews with those combos? Brilliant.

We'd also have an unstoppable forward and a defender nobody could understand (or beat or outclass).

[Smartie]

Paco Luna and Colin Nish.

Luna was very good in the air for his height - can you imagine what he'd have been like if he was 6"4?

He can play up front with Steve Archibald/ Ivan Sproule.

Archibald's intelligence and flair coupled with Sproule's explosive pace and directness.

Unplayable front pairing.

Interestingly enough if you take their negative characteristics - no decent foot, always on their arse/offside, hugely frustrating and a total lack of goals and assists then you get Rowan Vine. Except without a beard.

Mickey Weir and Rob Jones. a 6ft 7 inch winger with Mickey's trickiness would be awesome

With our luck we'd get a 5ft 4in centre half.
