    We only have an option on Flo - nothing certain until its a done deal - and we are unlikely to afford Maclaren should he do well.

    Everything points to Murray's probable return.

    I will be happy with that. Especially if he can keep banging them in for Dundee.
    Murray won t be back imho...hes decent but we need much better to challenge for top 2/3 in this division. I wish him well but reckon his move to Dundee will become permanent in summer. Lennon clearly doesn't rate him hence Oli Shaws rapid promotion and regardless of whether we keep Flo and/or McLaren beyond the summer...New striker(s) will be brought in

    No weirder than Griffiths doing it when on loan to Hibs
    Far less weird if Simon Murray is a Dundee fan

    Yep,

    I’d like him back for next season.

    At the end of this season, MacLaren will definitely be off and Kamberi probably so.

    Murray would at least augment if not fill that gap.

    Not so sure about that. If we qualify for Europe I would say that would be better exposure than those two currently have. Especially if they become our first choice front two.

    I got the impression we were forced to give away Simon Murray to get Scott Allan in (which, so far, has been an excellent piece of business). However, I still really like Murray - he will score goals and has a fantastic attitude. Hope we see him again in a Hibs strip - could definitely do far worse!

    If we want to be in top four regularly, Murray isn’t good enough to be in our starting eleven. Seems our manager agrees, and I’d be surprised if he plays for Hibs again.

    Would be happy to see Simon back at ER when his loan deal finishes. Always gives 100% for the cause and is likely to benefit from a change of style by going to Dundee. He has a decent scoring record, and at only 25, there's a lot more to come from him.

    To be top four regularly we need more than 11 players, Murray is good enough to be part of the squad.

    I'd heard it was Simon that knocked back the Turkey move, it was decent money for him also. Plus Lennon isn't going to come out and say we let Murray go on loan cause he's pants, he's a very average player who Lennon thought could be turned into a far better one, good work ethic but ultimately we're aiming for higher than Murray is going to take us.

    So, you know he'll never be back, or you think he'll never be back, or you hope he'll never be back😁
    I’d like him back if truth be told. If he’s playing week in week out for Dundee I think he’d be a better player for us. But I’ve a feeling he may go end of the season. Not got any info just what I think. Hope I’m wrong.

    I truly hope your wrong as well, I really like the lad, gives his all & never gives up. I know he is not Harry Kane, but the pure joy on his face when he scored that goal against Hearts will always live with me, plus he showed good skill to achieve it.

    Murray is more than good enough to be the star front man for a bottom 6 side. He’s also good enough to be back up for a top 4 side. He’s the Sam Morrow to Riordan and O’Connor or the Colin Nish to Stokes and Riordan.

    he's much better than Sam Morrow and works much harder than Colin Nish (who was a good goal scorer at kilmarnock).

    Murray is an asset and I hope he's back.

    He's better than both absolutely. I wasn't comparing ability, I was comparing his standing in the squad.

    He's an asset as a back up or squad but not as a first pick for a side chasing 2nd.

    He’s better than one of the all time top goal scorers in the league?

    I hope he comes back.

    He isnt good enough to be a starter but say we kept MacLaren and Kamberi, i wouldnt mind having Shaw and Murray as back up.

    He still has a lot to learn, like staying on side, but hes shown he can score at this level, his pace, mobility and pressing are a big asset in any team.

    I doubt even Nish believes that.

    Let's not forget Nish just hung around in Scotland for a long time - sclaffing in goals for a multitude of clubs. He is on the table through longevity rather than quality.

    Do you really believe that ? There are many forwards who have played more games than Nish and got nowhere near his strike rate . As a finisher I view Nish far better than Murray - and I cant see Murray getting near his goal record

    Exactly. Nish scored against all the teams we're playing against now and on a regular basis. Simon Murray struggled to even score against the same clubs let alone maintain it.

    I must have imagined many things in a Hibs shirt then?

    - The player who had most assists in the season we finished in Europe under Yogi

    - The five goals in two games including a hat trick in thirty minutes that put us into Europe

    - That 30 yard screamer against Dundee United

    - That chip from 25 yards in his first season

    He was a boo boy scape goat but he really wasn’t a bad player for us at all

    Problem with simon murray for me is that he's not good enough to be a starter for us, and in spite of his work rate and pace, rarely if ever makes an imact from the bench. I like him as a player and would love him to do well for us, but he's just not quite good enough IMO. Hope i'm proved wrong though!

    For us he scored less than 1 in every 4 games. Give Simon Murray the same number of games, starts and minutes in this league as Nish and I almost guarantee you he'll score more.

    Nish was slow both in thought and deed. Didn't deserve the scapegoat status but wasn't a very good player for us, let's not play silly buggers here.

    Don't agree...far better finisher than Murray...and I'd wager his record will be better than Murray will achieve
