    Mark Milligan

    Fair Dinkum!

    There were stories of an approach being made for Mark a few weeks here in Oz, but the money on offer was quoted as being the stumbling block.

    This will be his last club before returning home to Oz I would imagine.

    There will of course be various differing views on his ability, but one thing that is a first for Hibs is that they have signed a player who has been in four World Cup Finals squads.

    Welcome Mark.

    Yeah his name was mentioned on here by a few and that he laughed at the money on offer here in Scotland. So Hibs must be paying a good wage!

    Do you think that rules out Mulumbu, I had heard he was looking for a 5 figure salary per week.

    No idea bud, but seems we don’t have much to spend if Lennons comments are true.

    McGinn deal maybe freed up a few extra pounds?

    Hi Fred
    Jamie being here would have been a factor too i suppose, for Mark signing.
    We know Jamie has relatives in Edinburgh.
    If Mark has, i hope it is not our buckfast swilling former Lord Provost !!

    Welcome Mark to Hibernian FC

    £999.99 a week should do it

    He is a hard working, industrious defensive midfielder.

    He has, as stated been to 4 World Cup finals.

    I quite like him, but I would have preferred if we had signed him a few years ago.

    Well if thats the case that really disapoints me big time. Season tickets record levels, McGinn transfer, Murray transfer & Europa league earnings.

    Hopefully Lennon is playing the not much money line, so agents aren't trying to demand wages/fees that are over top.

    That’s exactly what he’s doing.

    You know your player is getting on a bit when his Youtube showreel isn't in widescreen.

    Welcome to the best club in the world Mark.

    Surprised when it was a defender announced but definitely a good thing. Some of our defending at times is poor and this will ensure there is competition for places.

    Now a couple CM hibs please , Allan (must) + a powerful player please

    He’s predominantly a defensive midfielder I believe, but can also fill in at CB

    Even though most of the You Tube stuff on this thread appears to be about 10 years old I wouldn't have thought his ability to see a pass has gotten any worse and that already gives us more then Marvin does. I wouldn't imagine his fitness is in doubt either if he played in all of Australia's world cup games, as I recall they were all at the warmest time of day in Russia and he has been playing in the middle east before joining us.

    This guy could be a real master stroke by Hibs …………. or a total dud of course, the proof of the pudding as they say

    I think he started the 3 games for Australia at the World Cup centre half but can also play centre mid which he has done at previous World Cups.

    Yeah I would fully expect that the average wage is pretty high at the moment, so while we aren't spending XXXX million on fees(although we have spent a fair bit.) I bet the wage structure has grown substantially with the pedigree of player that has come in.

    Mallan and Flo aren’t internationals but I’d agree we have clearly spent a bit cash. Would still have liked to think there would be a bit more still available though.
