Haha welcome Keatsy!!!

Good positioning for first goal, nice finish for the second and a lovely free kick for the third.

**GlasgowHibee** · 01-06-2015 02:07 PM

I'm just hoping his signing means that Cummings isn't going, I see them as two very similar players. Good with the ball at their feet, but with a great eye for goal.

**pontius pilate** · 01-06-2015 02:13 PM

Another great addition to the club. Not happy tho two signings on the same day and the season has barely finished what on earth is going on. In all seriousness great work by the club long may it continue we will see some leaving but the quality coming in seems better than those leaving at the moment

Bit of a lad by the look of things

Rate him behind our current strikers but he is something a bit different! Definitely got goals!

There's no reason they can't play together GH. I think we're brainwashed into thinking when a team plays two strikers one HAS to be a giant target man. I know you're not saying that though. We have to remember JC is a young lad. If he can keep improving and learn a bit more about his position, ie awareness, movement, we will have some player on our hands. Just my opinion.

Nice to see another signing but have to admit to feeling sorry for the lad. He's helped Clubs to qualify for the Premier two season in a row and has been dumped straight back in the Championship each time.....

;)

In all seriousness: How many goals did he score last season?

11 from only starting 18 games.
He could've went to Killie, but chose us

Dont feel sorry for him, it was his decision to leave Hamilton for Hearts. My Hearts mates are gutted about this so that'll do for me

I see Stubbs talking about his being in the right place at the right time in terms of goalscoring. Similarly he seems to have a habit of joining the right clubs at the right time! Hopefully a good signing for us.

Are you using a 1980's green-screen PC?

**emerald green** · 01-06-2015 02:46 PM

Welcome to Hibs James. You've joined a decent club this time and you will notice the difference straight away.

A better club, better stadium, better training facilities, better coaches, and better supporters.

**BoltonHibernian** · 01-06-2015 02:46 PM

Good signing. Keep them coming Hibs!

Never ever look at Kickback but this I had to see for myself, this Vine sums it perfectly! So many cringey comments

Quite right.
Not sure he's an improvement on what we've got but Malonga, Cummings, El Alagui and Keatings give us good options up front.
Wouldn't be too surprised if Dje Dje has been told he can look for another club.

***basehibby*** · 01-06-2015 03:55 PM

My Jambo pal who sits next to me tells me the Hertz fans were mighty disappointed to lose Keatings so that would bode well - welcome to the Hibees James!

**Thecat23** · 01-06-2015 03:59 PM

Kickback is comedy gold right now. When he signed they were creaming themselves when he left they weren't happy. Now he's with us it's the usual "who cares" that ****ty site must be packed with spotty kids that are in the huff!

Grown men surely can't act like they do can they? 😂😂

***Hermit Crab*** · 01-06-2015 03:59 PM

Hearts seem to think this is a swap deal for Scott Allan. Keatings was a free agent........ Good signing.

They need to get there heads out the sand and build a stand.

Fair play well pleased with this signing. Wouldnt be surprised to see a strker leave. Dont think we need Cummings, Farid, Keatings, Dje Dje, Malonga and Lewis Allan. Possibly Handling too. I think Farid will stay as he give us the big man option. Cant see us letting Cumming or Malonga go so Could be Dje Dje or Handling that makes way?

You would let our whole strike force walk out the door?

He also had offers from Scottish Premiership clubs so make your own mind up.

I don't think that's what he's saying. To me he's saying we don't need all those at one time not let them all go. Unless I'm wrong?

Even if that's not what he's saying there is no way I'd let Cummings malonga or allen go !!

I'd be sad to see Cummings go and Allan. Malonga I'm don't care if he stays or goes if I'm honest. Good player on his day should be doing better though IMO.

If these players go I fully expect Stubbs to bring in more quality. Players move on such is football but we get over it.

Fair enough, opinions eh, I think we would struggle to bring in better though!
