only one year, how they've worked out for us in the past :rolleyes: if CC knows him well enough is one more year on his contract so risky?

still, good signing hope he can bang in some goals :thumbsup:

I'm not a fan of the one year contracts either tbh but I'm just glad we've finally signed a striker, international clearance better be through by the weekend.

Now we need another striker and a right back.

Happy we appear to have another striker on board, but is that not all 3 of them out of contract end of the season?

Anyway, welcome aboard and if he can play, then score a couple on Sat and we win.......instant legend.

[basehibby]

Great news and not before time - if we'd been bumped again for another signing I think I might have topped myself. From Agogo's record and the fact that Calderwood knows him from Forest, I'm confident he will be a good signing.

If similar quality signings are made to address other weak areas of the side I'll start to feel a lot more confident about the season.

Welcome to the Hibees Junior :thumbsup:

why only a 1 year deal?? That means if he is any good he could be free to talk to other clubs in 6 months time

[Speedway]

The ones we had to fight off to secure his signature this time, you mean?

[MrSmith]

This signing does not inspire me at all! Another wanna be quick fix. Maybe negative but another knee-jerk signing by the board who just don't get it!:confused:

[aberhibsfc]

why only a 1 year deal?? That means if he is any good he could be free to talk to other clubs in 6 months time

I don't understand either, the squad is a bit bare and we only seem to be committing to short deals. What's going on?

I'm happy to secure another striker but I am worried unless we secure another full back and someone with some creativity midfield that we are going into the season a bit short handed. I'm not trying to be a doom and gloomer but I don't feel I'm being thrown an enticing bone here.

Are we being primed for a sale or something?

[NOLA]

heres hoping he does better than the last Ghanian to play football in edinburgh :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

I'll reserve judgement on the quality of this signing as I've barely heard of Junior Agogo before, let alone seen him play. He deserves his chance to show what he can do.

However, I'm sure I read a week or so ago on here, on several occasions, that short term deals, such as the one given to Agogo today, were part of the "unworkable legacy saddled upon the club" by John Hughes, referred to by Rod Petrie during his statement on the club's website a few weeks ago. :confused:

That's now four players that Calderwood has brought in this summer and two of them are out of contract at the end of the season. In fact, we only have three senior strikers at the club at the moment and all of them are free to talk to other clubs in just over five months' time!

The unworkable legacy was two year deals given to EDG and Hart, our two highest earners who have contributed SFA to our club.

Oh how Rodders wishes they were one year deals.

How long a contract would you give a guy that is 32 next week? I don't really envisage a huge q wanting to talk to any of our 3 strikers in five months time.

I was going to jokingly dismiss this last night as a panic buy but I was afraid people would think I was serious. Your post is better though. A board signing? Not the board backing the manager's judgement? Knee jerk signing? Are all the signings we make in the next few weeks going to be dismissed in that manner? You may have seen this guy play quite a bit and have justifiable reasons for saying that he doesn't inspire you but surely you can see he is a Calderwood signing?

Hart and EDG are still here.

Rod said the unworkable legacy had been stripped away.

[greenlex]

Hart and EDG are still here. Rod said the unworkable legacy had been stripped away. Must have been the others that are away then or maybe his bullying culture?

[Andy74]

Must have been the others that are away then or maybe his bullying culture?

Maybe. Either that or Rods statement doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny.

[bingo70]

Thought rods statement related to having a squad if about 34 players, and not very good ones at that! One year deals for 32 year olds make perfect sense to me

[marinello59]

Anyway..............:greengrin

Good news. Hope he does the business for us.:thumbsup:

Quite pleased about this and looking forward to seeing how he does.

[basehibby]

:confused: What a load of gash to spout! He's been at the club on trial for over a week and is clearly a Calderwood signing having played under him previously at Forest.

If you don't find the signing inspirational that's fine although I find myself wondering what you're looking for if an international with 12 goals in 27 caps (significantly more than either O'Connor or Sheridan for example) doesn't meet your standards. However the comments highlighted are ill founded and gratuitously negative IMO.

[LancsHibs]

[Barney McGrew]

[Joy Zipper]

Taken from Wikipedia. Quite funny really. :-

Agogo signed a one year contract with Scottish Premier League club Hibernian, who are managed by his former Nottingham Forest manager, Colin Calderwood, in July 2011 its not yet clear whether Agogo will obtain the relevant paperwork to play however Colin Calderwood is clutching at straws having missed out on several signings being outbid by smaller clubs while he was far more concerned with whether he would like to go to Birmingham or Nottingham and Hibs Chairman Rod Petrie is unwilling to buy a round at the bar let alone spend decent money on a decent player.

All the Hibs fans are fed up with his penny pinching and would rather that he move on and make way for someone with Fresh Ideas that do not consist of running the once proud Easter Road club into the Scottish First Division with his scrooge like ways.

[Mikeystewart]

Decent signing if it all comes through okay, from his stats he appears to be a 12 goal a season striker, 1 every 3 games, similar to Nish but hopefully more physical and direct.

Ha! You'd think that followers of Kiddie Fiddlers of Midlothian FC would keep their heads down rather than chucking stones from the condemned house of glass in which they reside.

While Calderwood has been discussing bags of sweeties with Agogo, that lot will have been too busy offering them to passing groups of small children to notice.

[Speedway]

You'll notice that Agogo didn't mention how the training centre was the only reason he signed.

Immediately club fine from Rod for that oversight.

Great we have another striker in as it is well needed, dissapointed that in 12mths time we may be in a position of having to bring in a whole new forward line due to contracts running out. Out of the 3 I think Sodje is most likely to be staying just my opinion.

Your cup runneth over doesn't it . :greengrin
So you must think O'Connor and Agogo are going to be in demand which would only happen if they had a good season. Sounds like good news to me.:thumbsup:

If the three were to walk then we would have their wages plus the wages of Hart and EDG. That would enable us to replace with better IMO.

IMO GOC is the most likely to stay. The other pair will be 32 and might not get much better than us.

OK, OK, I get the point! :greengrin

I wasn't criticising the fact that we haven't given Agogo a longer deal but I was just trying to get across that quite a few people were saying only a couple of weeks ago that Petrie was quite right to criticise John Hughes for allowing a situation to develop whereby a vast number of our squad would be out of contract at the same time and for handing out short term deals to the likes of Trakys, Duffy, Dickoh and Grounds.

Now we have Calderwood doing something very similar with O'Connor and Agogo who will both be out of contract at the end of this season along with Stack, Hart, de Graaf, Murray, Palsson, Stevenson and Sodje.

League Cup final, anyone?

Stick him in a team of Barca class players and he'd thrive.
