Saw it mentioned elsewhere earlier tonight. Not seen any newspaper articles yet. Wouldn't be surprised if he was leaving considering he hardly played for us in the Championship.

Not surprised. When given an opportunity this season he mostly didn't take it. Shame, as I always thought he was a difficult opponent when at Dundee Utd and Ross Co.

Hope so. Not good enough for us in top league and clears another position out the way to replace.

Thank ****. Thought we'd have to keep him with the extra year on his contract.

Was given a chance as our 4th choice striker and did little to justify it. Cheers for the goals in any case Brian, good luck at the Saints.

He's the biggest man on the pitch almost every game and he gets ragged dolled by sub par center halfs. You wouldn't see Holt get bullied like he does.
powder puff

Not sad to see him leave, but best of luck to Brian. Funnily enough, St Johnstone fans seem to hold a grudge over the way he left them last time, apparently he didn't let the club know he signed on a pre contract elsewhere.

Wish him well. Never really showed much at Hibs, but strikers can be funny and it wouldn't really be a big surprise if he hit a purple patch in a different environment.
Can't help feeling that by nicking Swanson and dumping Graham we've double-weakened StJohnstone.

I hold nothing against the man, it's just not worked out for him here. He started quite well and chipped in a few goals then it all dried up and it looked like he was suffering from the "trying too hard" disease most strikers on a dry run have, if that makes any sense.
Still though I'm happy to free up the wage and the space in the team for someone else.

He hasnt delivered this season, and his record at Premiership level also isnt great, so not a huge loss. His best season was probably at St Johnstone so it makes sense for him, and hes the sort of player they seem to be able to get the most out of.

This if its true is a great result, as DBS says, we have signed one of their best players and weakened them by giving them Graham.
He's a very poor player, who looks like a man mountain, but has little ability and couldnt shift a very inconsistent Grant Holt from the team.
We should be seeing a very different forward line next season, if Cummings is off, we will have a completely new pairing up front?

5 goals in 8 starts was a decent return. less so when you add the substitute appearances.
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Hmmm. I'll treat this as fake news until it's confirmed.
Good back up for us in the championship but we need better. Good luck to him if he does leave.

26-04-2017 06:42 AM #22One of those goals was against Turiff & he hadn't scored for 5 months. In fact IIRC he scored as many goals for RC in 1 month this season as he did for us. Like every ex player i wish him well but he was never going to be good enough. Originally Posted by Golden Fleece

If true this is the right move for the player and ourselves.
Guarantee he scores against us next year!

Take it he's available on a free. Can't see any club paying anything to sign him.

Hope he does. Getting him off the payroll and a good move is perfect for all parties. Originally Posted by 1van Sprou7e

He scored one of my favourite goals of the season against Morton (I think) early in the campaign - a long raking cross from almost the edge of the pitch from Cummings which Graham bulleted home with the head. Thought that would be one of a barrowload he would score for us, but it didn't really happen. Good luck to him should he move to Saints.

No point in him staying as Lennon clearly didn't rate him. Good return in terms of goals per minutes on the pitch but you can't score from the bench and that was where he sat most of the season. Mind you most of the strikers barring JC couldn't score on teh pitch. Originally Posted by Carheenlea

If Graham does go and with Holt not being offered a new deal and potential of some kinda bid for JC our striking targets need to be Identified asap. Not saying JC would go but I hope they have solid targets in mind
