Pressure on now...... that's Lafferty and Church turned us down one way or another and Berry deal fell through for whatever reason.

IF stokes turns us down then we have a problem!

Behave. If players don't want to come based on how much we value them (or in Stokes case, how much we can afford I'd expect) then not much else we can do.

No problem, we just keep plugging away at trying to get the right mach.

We do need a striker, I agree, but sure we'll get someone in before the end of the window.

Sercome also said no.

It doesn't matter though, there's always Jermaine Pennant.

Folk thought it was the worst idea ever to try and sign him, now folk will pop up saying the opposite, hibs can't win.

Spot on.

It'l go from "he's *****"

To "lack of ambition"

Didn't want hymn, tbh.

Anyone else think that this is a negotiating tactic from Church, especially the 'the offer wasn't QUITE right' bit?

I'd have thought players coming upto Hibs on trial, would have an understanding of our wage structure

[Heisenberg]

Sounds like he didn't fancy a move back up on the terms we were offering (length of contract maybe?). Sercombe also didn't want to move to himself and his family up to Edinburgh. Not much we can do about that.

[Golden Bear]

It's all the Tache's fault for not being involved in the negotiations.

I read on here that he's gash according to some erudite and irrefutably knowledgeable chaps so good riddance.

We don't need international 28 year old strikers at the club anyway......

What's with the haughty tone?

A few people - myself included - commented that they'd seen him play, and didn't think he'd add anything to the team. Those are opinions; this is a football messageboard.

Get over yourself.

Pew, that was a close one. Hallelujah some would say. Therein ends the lesson for today.

[biotech]

At the end of the day, we need players who want to play for the club. If Church thinks he can do better, then good luck to him. We need someone who complements Murray and we'll keep looking. Maybe Boyle upfront?

Seems his wife did not like Edinburgh

Got to really laugh if that's true

Where was he before? Milton Keynes and Kerkrade.

But doesn't want to move to a place regularly voted as one of the best and most beautiful cities in the world....

Aye ok love. Lol

Some people are homely and don't like uprooting regardless of where too. Can't fault her if she doesn't want to move to a new city away from family and friends!

Seems completely reasonable to me.

Confirmed by Radio Scotland. The package was "not attractive" enough for him to relocate his family.

Should have tried the horse's heid in the bed.

And if she came to check out Edinburgh on Saturday when it was peein' doon in the middle of July that could have put her off.

Not much point in him coming up here for a trial then.

We should maybe just sign the San Marino team then....as 11 internationals must be required.

Glad your not the manager.
Take Bale out of the Wales team.....and they are not really that great a team.

Aye, you would think Mr & Mrs C would have discussed that factor before wasting our precious time.
Sounds like a pretty lame excuse to me.

[pacoluna]

I take it the "attraction" of Edinburgh and our second to none world class facilities wasn't enough to persuade him :D

[Pete]

I wonder how attractive Edinburgh would be if he was to be offered more money.

Yeah but if you expected that job would pay you enough to commute between your job and your wife then you might consider it.

Then you interview, the company realise you've over egged your CV and applied for a higher paid position than you are capable of doing so offer you a more appropriate position at a lower wage.

You then say, '**** that', it's not worth he commute now so you decline.

Did I say pish?

Ramsay....is so over-rated,its just not funny anymore.
Williams....Is descent,but hardly amazing.

Take them 2 and Bale out.....and they are made up of lower league players.
