Was on trial there 9 years ago, they didn't pursue due to concerns over his injuries.

**JDHibs** · 12-04-2018 01:26 PM

Hes still a half decent player. Good experience and will be cheap. Imagine he will be brought in as back up/foil for the younger guys to learn from.

Sorry not buying into that crap. That’s what they are all saying on Kickback but the fact is they are skint and he’s *****.

Dont buy into all you want, doesnt bother me. Was a big player for Saints the past few years when everyone was lauding them punching above their weight. 12 goals/13 assists in 30 odd games at 34 last year, 15 & 8 the season before? Theyve been gash as a team this year mind you.

We all know they are skint, they basically admit it themselves with the cash cow etc. So would make sense for them to look at signing a cheap back up with bags of experience no?

A few fake Lego bus sales will sort that. Champions League here they come

Wasn’t having a go at you there btw. Just saying the bottom line is for me he’s finished and the kind of signing we’d make under guys like Fenlon. I’d be raging if Hibs went for this kind of player.

***lord bunberry*** · 12-04-2018 01:39 PM

Bottom six striker these days. I would hope we’d be setting our sights considerably higher.

If that. He’ll be 36 in August. If we were looking at him I’d be raging. One of the main reasons saints are struggling this year is they can’t score goals. He is a dreadful signing and I really hope they get him.

I'm surprised that in their financial position they can afford to have another referee in addition to Craig Thomson on their payroll.

Steven is from a Hibby family and brought up to be a Hibby. He probably has the honour of being one of the youngest ever supporters to be evicted from ER. He was caught in the act of trying to squeeze between the railings that separated the terracing from the coo shed. For this terrible sin, the stewards promptly evicted both Steven and his Dad.

**SirDavidsNapper** · 12-04-2018 02:01 PM

Reminds me of when we used to sign Maybury and the like

I'm sure I read somewhere that he's Kevin Thomson's cousin.

ah, happy memories, still remember fondly of the days as youths trying to climb(and succeeding now and then) over the walls, normally into the old east terracing then up the 2,000 steps, or asking for a lift-over at turnstiles....sigh

happy days,

**Thecat23** · 12-04-2018 01:27 PM

Said it before they are toiling, don’t care what anyone on here says they are in the bargain basement for players now. Naismith who many on here were saying was an “amazing” singing, when I thought he was crap looks like I’ve been proved right as he’s been an utter failure. Lafferty granted has done better than I thought but he’s still been poor.

They are a gang just now and will have a poor season again next season. Until Budge and Potter leave the club will just go round in circles looking for cash simple as that. We are ran a lot better on and off the pitch now and are miles ahead of them.

**Souter96Mac** · 12-04-2018 01:30 PM

I see they are preparing for fighting for the title next season then

There seems to be a large split in the hertz fans between those who have faith in budge and levein and those who see the reality of the situation. I think levein has actually done a reasonable job with the squad he has but if McLean is the level of signing their getting and either lafferty or naismith go then they are looking at at least two or three seasons fighting for 5th place in the league. The temptation is of course is to spend loads of money they don't have and I'm not sure once you've had the addictive effect of winning games with phantom money will they be able to help themselves. In fairness a large number on twitback are seeing reality and their number is growing. They will rally round I'm sure with buying season tickets but it will depend how they start next season. If they start to lag behind us again then the knives will be getting sharpened. I think in summary they are hoping things will get better but will stick with it until it all goes Pete tong.

I’d be far from inspired if we were fishing in that pond.

**Franck Stanton** · 12-04-2018 02:11 PM

Don't care who that lot sign, we all know they are skint and can't afford decent players any more. They used to shop in Waitrose, now they are shopping in Aldi.

Seem to remember my Saints supporting mate saying he can't play on astro, so rules him out of games against Killie and Hamilton (assuming they stay up).

He'll compliment McGeough well

***Bostonhibby*** · 12-04-2018 02:31 PM

Thought they were thinking about nearly paying their way and going Dutch by being linked with Steve McClaren again, but it's just another bargain basement striker story again.
