I think it will be on a pre contract if anything rather than signing him this window. Given the scope Hibs will have come the summer it makes sense to make a move or two now to get players signed for the start of pre season training rather than the usual waiting till end of July. Have to remember might have the challenge cup to play for then anyway. :greengrin

I'm not one for asking the board to spend more than we've got, however i think this is one place we need to be trying to shell out, players who are out of contract in the summer, rather than wait till next season when we could be relegated we need players in now so to me this seems the best way to get decent value in january.

What we don't need now is young players with no experience on loan for 6 months so there's be even more upheaval in the summer.

Isn't he OOC in May? If so then ICT might take a fee for him now, rather than let him leave for hee-haw at the end of the Season.

i'd shell out money to get him now.

should only cost us about £200k max.

if we dont get him now, other teams will come in and offer better wages nearer the end of the season.

Caley are fifth in the league at the moment with a decent chance of finishing in the top six so I do not see them selling their top scorer for what would probably be a nominal fee even at the risk of losing him for nothing come the end of the season.

Finishing 5th as opposed to 7th is worth £200k IIRC, then add on the extra gate money.

Would calleys priority not be staying up? if so they look pretty safe just now so may be happier to consider selling now rather than risk losing him for free in the summer as there's no guarantee by keeping him they'll finish top 6.

Anyone any idea how much a top 6 finish would be worth to them? wouldn't have thought it'd be any more than about £100k?

I think it's nearer £200k.

[EH6 Hibby]

The fact that this has been posted over there makes me even less likely to believe it! Sounds like something they've hatched to try and get us excited so they can laugh at us! :grr:

Interesting that the thread also suggests that we are in for Burt Reynolds at Motherwell.

Cheers, notice you answered that 2 minutes before i asked so fair play, i'm not about to start disagreeing with someone thats got a mind like yours :wink:

Seriously though if thats the case i'm sure a bid of around the £150k would be accepted, the other issue though is that he might not want to commit to coming to us just now, if there is other clubs wanting him it'd be in his interest to wait till the summer, no real benefit to him signing for us now.

can't see any business being done by us maybe untill the last week to see who we can get on loan.

I'd like to bring the lad here a.s.a.p., but would accept a pre-contract.
I've no idea of the state of ICT's finances, therefore no idea of their needs for cash. For all their good away run they've fell away a bit over the past few weeks.

Official bid now in for him from that russian mob so guess we'll find out soon enough if there's anything in it but probably means we've next to no chance of getting him.

[whereswallace?]

Sorry but this is a non starter.We cant offer anywhere near what he's been offered elsewhere.

[ancient hibee]

He'll go down south in a blaze of glory,be totally out of his depth,go out on loan then we'll take him on loan and he'll break a foot -when he finally plays he'll turn out to be not even half the player he was before he went south but considerably richer.Just like some other player whose name escapes me.

Would be a cracking signing IMHO.

We need as much quality as possible and to start having a better squad, better bench and options etc.

CC has seen first hand what damage Rooney can do (4v2 game at Inverness).

He puts himself about and is also a decent finisher.

IMO he'd be a good partner for Riordan. Not too disimilar to Gary O'Connor.

A wee bit like the idea that a Hibs team who were chasing the old firm and a scottish cup wouldn't sell their top striker to a russian team.

No, money talks, always. We have the Bamba fee to tempt them with. I though Rooney looked decent against us and would like to see him at ER

[SneakersO'Toole]

Why would he come to a team that could potentially be playing in the 1st division next year? Not trying to be defeatist, just realistic.

Continue in the form he is in just now and he'll get a move to the championship no problem at the end of the season.

Money presumably.

I would think he'd need another season or two up here before heading South, better to do that at a club that has proven track record of sending players on to bigger and better things I guess.

I wouldn't know, I never recieved that txt.

[Stevie Reid]

Didn't realise he was 6'2" - 40 goals in 85 matches for ICT, yes please.

Still a risk, as any signing is, even more so if there is a few involved. But, if it happens, it is exactly the kind of signing we need right now - an exciting one involving a transfer fee to get many fans back on side and a wee bit excited. And, most importantly, one who should score the goals to pull as away from the relegation zone.

[aberhibsfc]

Seen the piece in the current bun today regards our interest in Rooney. They make the assumption that we will have the Riordan and Nish wages at our disposal in the new season. Maybe this will transpire, but a bit presumptious. Also do they think that we only have enough money if these two leave, given that they are just two of sixteen contracts up in the summer. I think we'd be able to afford him just now or if anyone else leaves. It's just a matter if he is outpriced.

I get annoyed with the media in this country, there is this over obsession regards the OF and they don't care how much coverage or how accurate they portray the other teams. Riordan will always be in their eyes, the former Celtc star, despite the fact that he developed with us and virtually played his whole career with us. Not to mention that he hardly kicked a ball for THEM during his short stint. **** off, the lot of them.

I reckon either of them would find a home in most SPL squads, and come back to haunt us as ex players always do.

:agree:

Rankin and Nish will never be legends but as usual are painted as rank or single fish. I am sure there have been far worse players at ER, these two are subject to so much negative attention, I'm surprised that they can keep there heads down. I can't imagine how it would feel to be treated in such a manner, especially Nish as it's his team. They didn't scout and sign themselves.

Mark my words, if they stay in the SPL they'll get games and they will get their share of good ones. It's not like Beckham wants a loan here. I agree would should be able to source better players but that's if the budget permits.

They frustrate me at times but you'll not find me booing them down. Most likely they'll be away in the summer, just get off their backs and let them try to have a better run into the seasons end.
