Absolutely agree with this. I've said all along that we don't need to replace Fyvie like for like.

Fyvie, Bartley and McGeough didn't score a goal between them last year. Now I get that players have different skill sets, but given our lack of goals, we can't continue to carry three players in that area of the pitch who don't contribute to that side of the game IMO. Sacrificing a player on a good wage to get a better balance in the squad may just be worthwhile. McGeough staying fit is crucial though. In saying that, Fyvie must have missed his share of gams through injury over the last couple of seasons as well.

McGeouch scored in the Scottish Cup semi final.

Other than that, I agree with you even although I like Fyvie and would have preferred to have him back. However I'm not convinced there is room for him in the squad. If we start Bartley, McGinn, Swanson and McGeouch, then we still have Boyle, Martin, Murray and potentially Pennant with Lennon looking to add a goal scoring midfielder.

He met with Lennon last week (Wednesday I think it was) and then on Friday Neil decided not to proceed.

Fraser said his goodbyes to the players on Sunday.

And where did this come from?...do you have one of these amazing sources that 90% of people on here have but wont name...if so then it would seem that hibs must conduct their business in public parks or local pubs in front of huge audiences or are you simply talking a lot of michael knight

I was under the impression that he knows Fyvie.

He was speaking to a friend of mine in the west on Sunday and was saying he was cautiously hopeful it could still be sorted, obviously he could just be giving a stock answer to get rid of a nosey fan but I'd chosen to hope it wasn't dead haha! Still think we're silly to let him go if he's attempted to make peace with the club (and I outlined why earlier in this thread), if we have someone better lined up then fantastic, but having seen his stats I highly doubt we'd get someone else who could provide similar for less money.

Sadly I was told dead in the water now. So we move on...

Madness if we have let a player like that leave, for free, to one of our rivals.

Yup, I reckon this was always what he wanted to do.

[BegbieHSC]

Think we are going to struggle to pip the Dons this season. They are getting stronger, with Mackay Steven, Fyvie, Moult and Maloney potentially all signed by Friday...

We'll be nowhere near Aberdeen. Unrealistic if anyone expects us to challenge them for 2nd place.

[MacGruber]

No surprise. Aberdeens gain our loss. Madness.

[green day]

So, Fyvie didn't want to sign for Hibs, then wanted to sign for us but was too late, then wanted to sign for Dundee Utd, then wanted to come back to Hibs but got knocked back, and now he's signing for Aberdeen???

have I got this right?

Yip! No one of our prophets of doom by any means, by I do really think this one will come back to haunt us.

Unbelievably frustrated at how well the Dons are doing in the transfer market. I would have loved Fyvie back with us, along with Moult, Mackay Steven and Maloney...

How have we let him.leave? He was out of contract and rejected a new one so the club movedetails on to other people.
It happens. Calm down to a panic.

I personally don't think we'll come 2nd but I'm glad the manager has displayed more ambition than you!

By all accounts he was willing to sign the contract, we didn't have to move on

I assume you do not realise that Aberdeen have not signed any of those players you mention. Not one!!

I'm hoping to God they do sign Fyvie so people on here can just move on from this farce.

[Velma Dinkley]

The myth regarding how well Aberdeen are doing in the transfer market seems to be growing arms and legs. If you include all the players we've been linked to we've had the best transfer window ever

Ouch..

Gutted he's leaving. An upgrade will be a goal scoring midfielder but with Shinnie and Fyvie gone - Swanson is to replace Shinnie we need someone to replace Fyvie.

Yip, although it does seem highly likely that they will barring a last minute swoop.

I'm sure we'll find good players, but I do think Aberdeen are doing really well, and the players they are being linked to would be great for us.

Although I'd prefer it if we had a better replacement on our books rather than in our mind.

Looks like we already had a couple of midfielders in mind but didn't manage to pull either of the deals off.

[H18 SFR]

Could Ambrose not do a job in midfield?

[GordonHFC]

He can't do a job in defence at the moment.

If Dylan can stay fit then it's like a new signing. We are, in my opinion, looking good at the back but I do however think we need to add goal potential (no sh#t) in midfield and in the striking department. Very happy for these to be relatively un-known players as it will mean we likely getting a better deal that won't destroy our wage structure.
