Leigh Griffiths?

[Thecat23]

Would anyone take this lad back? I rate him highly and with the rumour of the Yams sniffing about him i'd be gutted if they got him. This lad can score for fun. I know we prob have enough strikers and prob aren't looking but if he was to sign for them and say Deeks or Stokes left i think we would struggle to find a talent like his. Just my thoughts of course!

[aberhibsfc]

definately

[RoscoHibby]

Apparently the boys a big hibby and thinks the sun shines outta deek's arse?

Wouldnae be cheap a dont think tho, Dundee have spent a bit recently.

[Peevemor]

But can anyone take him seriously any more?

:greengrin

[SalfordHibs]

If both Deeks and Stokes are sold in this window i would like to think we are aiming higher than Leigh Griffiths

My wee cousin kicks about with him she says he's Hibs daft. I agree i don't think he'd be to cheap but worth sticking in a cheeky bid i think.

Do you know they will defo be sold in this window :dunno:

The main word in my post is if mate.

If the new stand falls down I hope they build a new one.

I see your point mate, but Leigh is a Deeks type player, can score from nothing and thats pretty rare these days. If both were sold i'd like Leigh and maybe someone with a higher profile to play alongside him.

[SalfordHibs]

Seems logical to me that mate :cool2:

[greenlex]

Best of the Teckle I reckon.
Have him up front instead of Stokes in a minute.

There has been rumours about O'Connor coming back, now someone like that, someone who has scored a load of goals in the SPL that's the type of player i would like to see, will Griffiths score goals in the SPL, would be a good investment though.

LG also has something that Ant & Deek are a bit lacking in & that's pace. I think he's well capable of a step up but Dundee will be looking for a profit on their outlay, £150,000 I think?

[basehibby]

Do you know they will defo be sold in this window :dunno:

He has no more idea than you or I - it's paper talk and nothing more at this stage - which is bound to happen given that they scored about 40 between them last term.

Re the OP, Griffiths sounds like he'd be a very good signing - and given Benji's departure there is probably room for another striker without anyone leaving.

[Thecat23]

O'Connor would be great alongside someone like LG. Would O'Conner stay fit though? If he did i'm sure they would score a bucket load between them.

[brythehibby]

Wasnt Griffiths on hibs books as a youngster and left / got released before he ended up at livi?

I know he's a big hibs fan, only seen him a few times playing but looks a very decent prospect.

[degenerated]

The main word in my post is if mate.


but less than a week ago you claimed they were both definitely being punted, make your mind up :wink:

[Twa Cairpets]

The boy is teckle wi' a big side order ae braw.

But would we get Jocky, his jetpack and wee Jocky the cat? Would Goodwillies shed be safe?

[Godsahibby]

I'd love to see him at Hibs, the main problem in attrracting Leigh unfortunately is wages, from my understanding Dundee are offering him silly money and don't know if he has done enough for Hibs to match that, similar money to what deeks is on already!

[SalfordHibs]

but less than a week ago you claimed they were both definitely being punted, make your mind up :wink:

Nice try that mate, my post said i was told they would both be leaving :wink:

[Sandy]

Would take Leigh at ER in an instant, IF we are going to lose one of our big two (Deeks and Stokes) Then he is a natural replacement, I always wondered why we didn't go for him when he was at Livi :confused:.

[Sylar]

Had a major attitude problem during his early stint at Easter Road and from what I know of him during his time at Livingston, he was still an arse off the field.

Perhaps he's calmed down since moving to Dundee, but the boy's a proper radge.

Still, if he's scoring on a weekly basis...

[Mister P]

i overheard a guy who knows him say that leigh is gonna be deeks replacement. apparently that came from the horses mouth. just saying what i heard, i cant back it up. :dunno:

Have you met Leigh? he's a quiet lad, definately no radge.

I heard a story about him going down to Liverpool for a trial, got invited down by the head of youth development but when he got there they guy wasnt around and he was told he would still be getting a trial that day and to get stripped, Leigh refused had a go at him for wasting his time and left!

[MSK]

Have him up front instead of Stokes in a minute.Your joking !!! Griffiths couldnae lace Stokes boots ...decent player with bags of potential but at this moment in time Stokes is far more the accomplished player ...his goals to games ratio in the SPL speaks for itself ..

[MSK]

Have you met Leigh? he's a quiet lad, definately no radge.He is a bit radge Stevie (that may be the Magdalene in him) :greengrin

That said, he loves hibs & wants to play for his "beloved"...im sure if he did sign he would screw the nut & knuckle down ...:agree:

[aberhibsfc]

I would see Griffiths coming in to compliment the squad with Riordan and Stokes still here.

Most of the time Derek plays on the left wing, which baffles me tbh.

I would like to see Riordan and Stokes up front with a Griffiths as a back up or just off the front two.

I think any of these players can play there and add to the teams goal tally.

I wouldnt like to see with Derek or Anthony leaving ER this season. If they did I, I'd still sign Griffiths but would be looking for more from the board in terms of replacements.

I would like to think that given the tumultous turn over of players in the last few managerial changing
seasons that we would be looking to consolidate the team and add quality here or there. We should not be contemplating selling anyone unless it is for silly money.

[Juice-Terry]

Not sure about that. There's a big difference between

A. If (the stand falls down) then (I hope they build a new one)

and

B. I hope that (if the stand falls down then they build a new one).

Terrible case of 'scope fallacy'. :greengrin

Sort it out Petrie.

'Mon the Cabbage!

[Musselbound]

If either is sold then I see him as the ideal replacement. I'm sure he'd like to come to Hibs and could progress for 2-3 years before being sold on for a higher fee. Would be gutted if he signed for the Yams and scored against us.

He is one of these players you don't want to see turning out against us with them. Mr Petrie............

[Golden Bear]

I could be wrong here, but was there not talk of the mighty Hawrts wanting to sign him before he went to Dundee? Apparently he turned them down, one of the reasons being that he is an ardent Hibs fan.


In any case, I would think that Dundee will be wanting a sizeable transfer fee so that should rule the maroon balloons out.

[Thecat23]

Exactly, Remember the last so called Hibs supporting striker who went to them? Come on Yogi stick a bid in and unsettle the lad so he comes to us. :agree:

From what i have heard, he chose Dundee to progress his career and not sit on the bench as the yams only played one up front. I don't think he would turn a move to the spl down even if it was them as he will feed off Kyle. But i've no idea how they can afford him.. do they actually realise they have a huge debt and are meant to be wanting to reduce it not keep spending?

[frazeHFC]

I'd be gutted if Hearts sign him, but i can not see them affording him.

Leigh Griffiths will sign for Hibs within the week. He has rejected signing talks with Hearts as he is a boyhood Hibby. Brahim Hemdani is also close to agreeing a deal.

[NOLA]

love to see "Sparky" play for Hibs! does his mum still run the cafe next to the first and last pub??

[Sylar]

hardly.


Have you met Leigh? he's a quiet lad, definately no radge.

He certainly was when he was a bit younger! Sure it was the reason he was punted from Hibs? He did settle a bit at Livingston, though I still heard stories about nights at Club Earth, most of them being from another player at Livingston who I'm good mates with.

It could have been pish mind you, but there was more than just one account of his behaviour at times.

I suppose, compared to Darren McCormack, the guy's a f***ing Saint.

With regards the Cafe...its a family business...John runs the First & Last next door ...:agree:

Do you know this for a fact? It seems to me that a remark is made on here and it is repeated until it is assumed to be true. Anyway lots of great players such as Willie Hamilton and G. Best have had a bit of a wayward streak in them.

[Barney McGrew]

But would we get Jocky, his jetpack and wee Jocky the cat? Would Goodwillies shed be safe?

Ask the Pope if you see him up the Fairmuir clubbie - he would ken likesay.

I'm sure Leigh would be more than happy to move his teepee from Caird Park to the Links if he got the chance.

[Jones28]

LG also has something that Ant & Deek are a bit lacking in & that's pace. I think he's well capable of a step up but Dundee will be looking for a profit on their outlay, £150,000 I think?

I hate to think thats outwith Hibs budget

What did we sign Nish for?

[essexhibee]

Best of the Teckle I reckon.
Have him up front instead of Stokes in a minute.

Eh?!!!! :confused::confused:

Thats benching a 23 goal striker. Hmmmm :rolleyes:

Wasn't it 50k we gave Killie for him to leave in the Jan transfer window, rather than wait till summer for him?

[hibee4life1983]

I would take leigh in a micro second, hibs daft and reminds me of a young mr riordan!
You cant pass up quality like that twice.

Ive heard theres no way he'd sign for hearts and would jump at the chance to play for us.

I thought the "?" would have covered it, but no, I do not. I had been told as much and was merely querying the validity of the "tale".

Lets be honest - what laddies aren't radges at the age of 14/15?

[Diclonius]

Sign him up Petrie, especially if we're losing Riordan. :agree: I'd be gutted if the ****bos even got near this guy.

[greenlex]

Eh?!!!!

Thats benching a 23 goal striker. Hmmmm





Don't be confused I would sell Stokes and replace him.
