Gary O in training...

[St.Kristopher]

@ holyrood park today with some short balding bloke.

this should add to the rumour mill about him taking over from Annabel Goldie as leader of the Scottish conservatives.

didn't Mixu do that a few years ago and then got offered a deal:greengrin

mind you we have a training center now so the chances of that are slim but we have to remember he is from edinburgh/tranent

could just be keeping himself fit trying to get back to 100%

hopefully to play in the green and white:thumbsup:

Has O'connor signed a new deal at Brum?

Has O'connor signed a new deal at Brum?

It was at least a month ago now that he was offered a new deal, never actually heard if he accepted it or not.

[Lmc2105]

Haven't seen anything on sky sports about it or there website so i don't think so

they are looking at Ryan Babel now and already have Zigic and will probably sign another striker

so i think GOC knows he won't really get a game maybe that's why he is stalling a on a new deal

So O’Connor could be leaving St Andrew’s on a free transfer.

Good read cheers for that :aok:

[seanraff07]

And even better in there is the news that they will sign the left back Paul Konsecky (cant be ersed checking the spelling of his name) from Fulham...that would put Murphy well down the pecking order and open to a move back up the road.

Do you think he would come back so soon though?



As much as i'd love to see him back in a Hibs shirt I feel if he is to leave Birmingham he'd stay in England. He'd walk into any Championship side and a few Premiership teams too. he's easily one of the best i've seen in a Hibs top, I genuinely don't think I ever saw him play a bad game.

[Aldo]

Garry O is a quality player and if it wasnt for injury he would still be a BC. As for spud one word...pace....that is the difference between him being an even better player than he is.

Would take both of them at the drop of a hat. Dont know if he (G O) be as prolific as Stokes but would give his all everytime he pulled on the jersey. Would allow Deek to move back up from where would thrive....17 from LW how many would he score playing upfront.

If I was to sacrifce one it would be Stokes IMHO.

Interesting......if you look to the right hand side of the Garry O article you will see the Midlands have their very own Andy Walker. Wonder if he is as much of a trumpet as our one:greengrin

is that possible?? :greengrin

[greenlex]

Was he just jogging or was he working on his speed?

[lucky]

If he is out contract he will be demanding big money. Even with his injury problems he will command £500k in transfer fee (now a signing on fee of that) and at least £10k a week. No way will Rodders go near that for a guy who is injury prone.

[BT58]

What age is G O ??
Maybe he is looking at re signing for hibs
with say maybe a 3 yr deal then there
may be an option inserted with hibs getting
a reasonable fee?? That way we could pay him
our top wage
Would work for both him & hibs
providing he passes medical

I doubt it, when he left Hibs for moscow he was given a signing on fee and he gave that back to Hibs to invest in the youth system. He wouldnt do that to Hibs, maybe another team he would demand that sort of wage and fee but not Hibs!!

You're right. He won't demand that sort of wage from Hibs.

He won't demand, or even politely request, any wages from Hibs.

He's still worth millions in transfer/signing on fees. He might have a soft spot for his second team, Hibs, but he's not daft.

I think he'll go to Rangers.

[CabbageFan]

Are you sure? :wink:



Just a wee rumour I heard at the time. :wink: might have been half the signing on fee.

:agree:

I've been saying that for a while as well, probably as good a replacement for Boyd as the huns are likely to get on there budget.

Unfortunately it would be a good move for him as well so i think he's far more likely to chose them over us.

Garry O is 27 in July.

He actually lives down aberlady area now.

I spoke to him yesterday and he has signed nothing with brum. He wants to sign with Hibs but wages are a stumbling block. He was away to Glasgow to see his agent today so he will find out whats happening and is going to let me know when i see him next week.

He would never go to Rangers i will tell you that now!!!!

He is training with the ex hibs physio at Arthur Seat as he does every pre-season to get fit! he is well over the op he got on his hip and is looking forward to getting back playing regularly and getting back into the scotland set up!

i am keeping my fingers crossed that he signs for Hibs again, i will keep at him guys!!:greengrin

[Aldo]

TBH

I would love Garry O to come back to ER but if wages are a stumbling block then we have had it. He will be offered the max. But there are only 2 possibly 3 teams outwith the OF that could afford him.

US
YAMS
SHEEP (maybe)

We shall see. If he is that desperate to sign for us then wages should not be a problem.

dont want to add to something that might not happen folks i saw a black rangerover sport going up the ormiston road earlier this evening ...think garry has one might be something in the rumours

[HibeeDaz6270]

If Hibs sell Stokes for around £2million then i think Garry O'Connor would be a fantastic replacement. For us to replace Stokes, with someone of his calibre it would involve a fee.

Maybe an offer of £4k per week plus a high signing on fee would get Garry to sign? I would rather Hibs add on a few hundred thousand to Garry's signing on fee than spent that on another striker. Would love to see him back :greengrin

a 3 year deal + 450k signing on fee would be = to £7k per week for 3years with no signing on fee.

If we could get him for around the above , i think it would be good business, even slightly more on the signing on fee, as a player of his calibre is definately worth that kind of money. Obviously if there was a transfer fee involved we could not afford this, but with it being a free transfer, maybe just maybe?

Sean ma friend wots so funny. Mcgheeeeee was told he has ten grand a week to spend on players...Wether that is on one, 2 3 etc then its up to him.

So yeah they could afford him. (if they want to blow most of their budget).

Lets face it though he wont go there or to the PBS.

Even McGhee isnae daft enough to spend ten grand a week on one player. And if that's all he's got to work with on top of what's already there then Aberdeen will be in trouble, as they will have an ever more depleted pool in comparison last seasons shambles.

What are the chances of him ending up at Hibs? Are Celtic an option or does he still fancy England? No danger of him ending up abroad again?




Tell him if he does end up back here, he can pop down the road to Haddy and come for a night out with the boys :cool2:

[CRAZYHIBBY]

It might not happen this season but i reckon he will be back soon

When I was working at Archerfield two years back he bought a house there. Would assume he still had it so he has property 15mins from East Mains and 30mins from Easter Road. Cumon Gazza you know you want to. :thumbsup:
